Deal | Amazon’s Luna wireless gaming controller with WiFi connectivity gets massive 43% price cut on Amazon
Amazon’s Luna wireless gaming controller has dropped to its record-low price on Amazon in the US. Amazon is now offering the Luna gaming controller for only $39.99—a huge 43% discount from its $69.99 list price. The Camel’s price history suggests that this is the best price for this model so far this year. However, there’s a catch: this deal is exclusively available for Amazon Prime members.
It’s worth noting that this is a limited-time deal, and it’s unclear how long the deal will last. The Luna, specifically designed for the Amazon Luna cloud gaming service, looks just like most other gamepads, featuring offset thumbsticks, triggers, and a 4-way D-pad for smooth operation with low drift and high accuracy. Unlike other controllers like the 8Bitdo Ultimate Wireless, it lacks Hall Effect joysticks and triggers. So, if you’re someone who is in search of a Hall Effect joystick controller, then this is not a controller for you.
The main highlight of the controller is its integrated WiFi functionality that connects the controller directly to Amazon servers using Cloud Direct technology for low-latency gameplay. This functionality also enables a few tricks, like the ability to switch between multiple devices when playing on Luna. Additionally, it also supports Bluetooth and USB-C wired connectivity options.
Another nice-to-have is vibration motors for tactile feedback during gameplay, an LED indicator to display controller connectivity status and a low battery indicator, and a dedicated Alexa button to launch games. Unfortunately, the Luna Wireless controller is powered by two AA batteries, and according to TechRadar’s review, it offers only four hours of backup. Although it can be used in wired mode if you’re willing to forgo the WiFi connection. You can learn more about the Luna controller in TechRadar’s in-depth review.
Overall, the Amazon Luna wireless controller is a good option for those who are already all-in on the Amazon Luna service.
