We discovered a launch promotion for Ugreen’s newest Bluetooth tracker and amiibo starting at only $5.99.
The first-party Switch 2 Pro Controller from Nintendo is unmatched in terms of its extensive features and user comfort. However, priced at $89.99, it’s simply too costly for many consumers. Thankfully, I’ve tested a controller that performs nearly as well although it lacks a 3.5mm audio jack, which is currently available for $40 less. The EasySMX S10, as it’s named, can be purchased for $50.39 through EasySMX with the code GETS10.
The S10 is ergonomically designed for extended gaming sessions and incorporates features not typically found in third-party controllers, such as amiibo support and rumble that closely matches Nintendo’s HD rumble experience. It is also capable of waking the Nintendo Switch 2 from standby mode, in addition to the original Switch.
The S10 is easier to endorse compared to Nintendo’s Switch 2 Pro Controller even at the same price point, as the EasySMX version offers precise, energy-efficient TMR joysticks, as well as some delightfully clicky buttons and triggers (note: opinions may vary, so you might not appreciate them as much as I do). At $40 cheaper, you can feel confident about opting for this instead of Nintendo’s official controller. Save that extra cash for something enjoyable.
If you’re an Android user seeking a compact Bluetooth tracker for your wallet, Ugreen has just unveiled the FineTrack Slim Smart G. It boasts a thickness of just 1.7mm (about the size of two credit cards), which allows it to fit neatly beside your other cards without being conspicuous, and its integrated battery can last up to five years. For its debut, Ugreen has reduced the price of the $25.99 tracker by $2, bringing it down to $23.99 at Amazon.
The downside is that it lacks a rechargeable feature, so you will need to throw it away and get a new tracker once those five years expire. While that’s unfortunate, its specifications indicate it should deliver a reliable five years of functionality. It includes a built-in 80db alarm for locating it via Google’s Find Hub network, along with IP68 certification for dust and water resistance. Just remember, if it ends up submerged, tracking will be impossible.
From now until October 5th, OnePlus has several back-to-school offers that everyone can benefit from, whether you’re a student or otherwise. One standout offer is the 43mm OnePlus Watch 3, which is on sale for $269.99 ($30 discount) from Amazon and OnePlus (using coupon code HARVEST). The smartwatch, equipped with Wear OS 5, was previously on sale, but after a nearly month-long period without discounts, it is now back at its second-lowest price ever.
If you’re considering purchasing an Android watch, I suggest adding OnePlus’ upcoming smartwatch to your potential options. Apart from Samsung’s recent Galaxy Watch 8 series, the OnePlus Watch 3 is among the newest models in the market. It presents a superior value proposition compared to its predecessor, the OnePlus Watch 2, boasting updated software, a rotating crown, an improved GPS antenna, and a collection of new health features.
