You might have crossed all of your essentials for the year off your gift list, but you’re still looking for hosiery that aren’t your typical picks.

Nintendo’s Switch Pro Controller is $ 20 cheaper for Cyber Monday, bringing it to a record low of $ 50.

A number of Belkin accessories have been cut for Cyber Monday, including most of the company’s AirTag cases, which are being cut to $ 10 each.

Razer Kishi
Razer’s Kishi mobile controller is 44 percent cheaper, which brings it down to $ 45.

Since it connects to your device directly through the Lightning port or USB-C, not Bluetooth, you don’t have to worry about it staying charged – although you need to make sure you buy the right one for your device.
