The Nitro Deck makes your Switch immune to stick drift, and it's discounted in Amazon's Spring Sale
The CRKD Nitro Deck made some big plays into the Switch controller market when it launched last year. As someone who's always struggled to stay comfy with the Nintendo Switch's smaller size, I was really content with the Nitro Deck's chunkier build and futureproofed design.
If you're like me, chances are you avoid handheld Switch play because you can't stand the thumb cramp it gives you. Thanks to Amazon's big Spring Deal Days sale, you can remedy that while parting with less coin. Down from $59.99 to only $49.99 at Amazon, the Nitro Deck is back to its Black Friday price.
It might not be a massive discount, but in fairness, the already reasonable price tag was one of the things I praised in my Nitro Deck review. As affordable as it is, it's a substantial upgrade over the regular Switch in handheld mode, not least because it gives you four back buttons to play with - something that's pretty uncommon in the best Nintendo Switch controller scene.

Save $10 - It isn't a huge saving, but this does bring the Nitro Deck back down to its Black Friday price. According to the data we're seeing, the cheapest the Nitro Deck has ever been available for is $45.99, so you're not too far off the cheapest it's been here.
