Only on Black Friday are Anker chargers up to 56 percent cheaper on Amazon. Not everything in this listing costs less than $ 50, but there are plenty of accessories – that includes a two-pack of the PowerPort Nano charger for $ 20, the new Nano II 65W GaN charger for $ 31, and that PowerCore Magnetic 5K for just $ 32.

Just today, you can pick up the 8Bitdo Sn30 Pro + for just $ 40, or 20 percent off its normal price and a new record low. 8Bitdo has a reputation for making comfortable, affordable game controllers, and we thought the Sn30 Pro + was the best for the Nintendo Switch when it was first released. The design of the wireless accessory is based on the iconic SNES controller with a variety of buttons and handles that rival the convenience of Nintendo’s own Switch Pro controller. In addition, it comes with a detachable battery pack and it also supports AA batteries.
Tile tracker
Amazon’s one-day sale on Tile devices beats up to 30 percent from the Bluetooth trackers. All items except one pack are under $ 50, including the 2022 Tile Mate Two Pack, which is discounted to $ 35, and the 2020 Tile Performance Pack, which is available for $ 42.
