Even with some increasingly stiff competition, the Nintendo Switch 2 is still CNET’s overall favorite handheld console of 2025. And many of its best games are designed to be played with your friends side-by-side on the couch. That means you’ll need some extra controllers if you’re planning to destroy your cousins in Mario Kart at this year’s Christmas party. Fortunately, you’ve got a rare opportunity to snag some for less right now.
An extra pair of Joy-Cons for the Switch 2 sells for $100, and discounts have been extremely rare since the console hit shelves this June. But for today only, Woot has a limited selection of Switch 2 Joy-Cons on sale for $90. That’s only $10 off, but it’s still a bargain if you were planning to pick up some extra controllers anyway — especially since we may not see another deal until after the holidays. These also make great gifts if you’ve got any gamers on your list this year.
This deal includes the standard red and blue Joy-Cons, as well as a pair of straps. However, the $40 Joy-Con 2 Charging Grip, which makes them feel more like a traditional controller, is sold separately. Also note that this deal is only available through 9:59 p.m. PT (12:59 a.m. ET) tonight, and could even sell out before then. Don’t wait too long if you’re serious about picking up a pair at this price.

Why this deal matters
Deals on official Nintendo accessories for the Switch 2 have been pretty tough to come by since its release. So any chance to grab some extra gear on sale is a deal worth noting. Plus, this Joy-Con 2 discount comes just in time for holiday get-togethers.
