8BitDo Pro 3 Controller Gets First-Ever Discount at Woot, Now $39.99

Gaming peripheral manufacturer 8BitDo is offering its highly anticipated Pro 3 wireless controller at a significant discount for the first time since launch, with Woot currently selling the device for $39.99 when using promotional code LEVEL20 at checkout.

The controller, which typically retails for $69.99, represents one of the most feature-packed options for Nintendo Switch 2, PC, and mobile gaming enthusiasts. Without the promotional code, the controller is available for $49.99 – still a notable reduction from its standard price.

The Pro 3 distinguishes itself through extensive customisation options, including swappable ABXY face buttons and magnetic joystick caps that allow players to adjust the layout from Switch to Xbox configuration or use unlabelled button faces included with each purchase.

Hardware improvements in this generation include new L4 and R4 macro buttons positioned between the triggers and the USB-C charging port, as well as upgraded TMR joysticks that offer improved durability and power efficiency compared to previous models.

The controller also features triggers with adjustable stops and a PlayStation-style stick layout, differentiating it from 8BitDo's Ultimate 2 model. While the Pro 3 can wake the Switch 2 console, reviewers note that its rumble performance falls slightly behind some competing Switch 2 controllers on the market.

The Woot promotion extends beyond the Pro 3 controller, with the code LEVEL20 offering up to $30 off various video games and accessories through February 27th. The broader sale continues through March 5th, though the promotional code expires earlier.

In other tech deals, Samsung's newly announced Galaxy S26 smartphones and Galaxy Buds 4 wireless earbuds are available with preorder incentives. Amazon is including a $20 gift card with the $179.99 standard Buds 4 and a $30 gift card with the $249.99 Buds 4 Pro, which feature enhanced audio quality and extended battery life.

For iPhone users seeking alternatives to Apple's AirTags, Ugreen's FineTrack card-shaped Bluetooth tracker is currently priced at $17.99 on Amazon, down from $29.99. The device integrates with Apple's Find My network, features IP68 water and dust protection, and offers up to one year of battery life on a single charge via its included proprietary cable.

Gamers in the market for display upgrades can also find MSI's 27-inch QD-OLED gaming monitor with 1440p resolution and 240Hz refresh rate available refurbished on eBay for $369.99. The monitor, which typically commands around $429.99 in new condition, includes multiple video inputs including DisplayPort, HDMI, and USB-C, and comes with a two-year Allstate warranty.
