    The weekend's best deals: Switch Pro Controller, Fitbits, Roombas and more

    Another weekend, another roundup of the internet’s best tech deals by the Dealmaster. Our latest collection of discounts includes a $15 discount for Nintendo’s Switch Pro Controller, bringing it to $55 at Amazon. While this isn’t the all-time lowest price we’ve tracked, it’s the best we’ve seen this calendar year. The controller itself remains a significant comfort upgrade over the Switch’s standard Joy-Cons, so if you’ve been waiting to take the plunge, now seems like a good time to strike.

    Elsewhere, we’ve got a range of discounts on Roomba robot vacuums and mops, a “buy one, get one 15 percent off” deal on Steam gift cards, a lower-than-usual price on the Google Nest Hub smart display, and a Nintendo Switch Online bundle that gets you a 128GB SanDisk microSD card with the purchase of a 12-month family membership. We also have joint low prices on a few Fitbit activity trackers we like — the stylish Luxe and well-equipped Versa 3, for $90 and $168 respectively — and rare discounts on Sonos’ Move and Roam portable speakers. You can check out our full lineup of hand-picked deals below.
