7 out of the 10 TMR controllers I've tested are discounted right now, and you only have a few hours left to make the most of the lower prices
5 out of the 7 discounted options are under $100
We're getting into the business end of Amazon Prime Day now, and that means discounts at the world's largest retailer and its competitors will all be disappearing soon. I've been scouring the shelves all week to find the best discounts that gamers should know about, but one category that's really impressed me this week is the best TMR controllers.
I've just checked through my list of favorites, as well as all of the other TMR pads I've tried, and I'm amazed to say that 7 out of the 10 are still seeing lower prices for Prime Day. You don't have long to make the most of these, however, since deals will likely vanish on the stroke of midnight tonight (Friday 26th). I've tried to localise these deals to Amazon, but not all of them are Prime-exclusive member deals, thankfully.
Before I run you through all of the options that are on offer, it might be helpful to explain which ones aren't. Of the three outliers, one is out of stock, one has been discontinued, and one is Valve's new Steam Controller, which is far too new and in demand to be seeing a Prime Day offer.
Leading the charge is arguably the most popular and the best TMR controller overall, the G7 Pro. I've spoken a lot already this Prime Day about how this controller getting discounted really makes it a no-brainer versus the slate of more expensive pro controllers on the shelves (if you play on Xbox or PC). The fact that it's already cheaper than its competition and is getting a discount like this is a real treat that's not to be missed.

The G7 Pro isn't the only GameSir product getting discounted this Prime Day. The Cyclone 2 is a really great value for money option that doesn't have the G7 Pro's Xbox compatibility, but plays pretty similarly to it, minus the additional bumpers.
UK: $44.99 at Amazon

The Gulikit doesn't offer as much as the others you'll find on this list. It's really a fairly basic gamepad that makes its TMR sticks, its comfortable shape, and speedy connectivity its main focuses. It's the most budget-friendly option you'll find here, so it's to be expected that it offers you the smallest saving this Prime Day.
UK: £16.50 at Amazon

The 8BitDo Ultimate 2 is also a really versatile controller that feels very similar to the all-round greatness of the G7 Pro. It's compatible with Switch and PC, and the only drawbacks I'd bring up are that it has smaller grips and a slippery thumbstick surface texture, which doesn't make it ideal for FPS players.
UK: £57.37 at Amazon

The 8BitDo Pro 3 has the same thumbstick texture as the Ultimate 2, which isn't ideal, but it's hard to knock the retro-like charm of this controller, which will no doubt be a hit for PC and Switch players who want a nostalgic kick, or symmetrical thumbsticks.
UK: £36.61 at Amazon

Now we get to the more expensive options. The Rog Raikiri II feels like the Asus answer to the popular Razer Wolverine V3 Pro, which also has an 8K TMR variant you can see below. It has super-fast microswitch buttons all over it, so if it's a clicky, responsive feel you desire, this is a really great one to consider - if you have the budget.
UK: £199 at Amazon

If you want to see what TMR technology can do in a controller that has next to no speed limitations, this is going to be the controller to try - especially if you want that clicky responsiveness. This one disappointed me slightly due to its lack of rumble feedback, which made the device feel cheaper, but it's down to you whether that would be a deal breaker.
UK: £165 at Amazon

Weekly digests, tales from the communities you love, and more

One of my earliest memories is playing SuperMario64 and wondering why the controller I held had three grips, but I only had two hands. Ever since I've been in love with video games and their technology. After graduating from Edinburgh Napier University with a degree in Journalism, I contributed to the Scottish Games Network and completed an Editorial Internship at Expert Reviews. Over the last decade, I’ve been managing my own YouTube channel about my love of games too. These days, I'm one of the resident hardware nerds at GamesRadar+, and I take the lead on our coverage of gaming PCs, VR, controllers, gaming chairs, and content creation gear. Now, I better stop myself here before I get talking about my favourite games like HUNT: Showdown, Dishonored, and Towerfall Ascension.
