One of the most popular Nintendo Switch and PC controllers sold by Amazon is on sale for a great price. The ManbaOne Wireless Controller, which released in March 2024, is up for grabs for $56 (was $70). This matches the lowest price yet for this pro-style controller with a built-in miniature display. Yes, the ManbaOne has a terrible name, but it’s a pretty awesome controller that impressed us when we tested it last year. The white model shown below is eligible for the 20% discount, while the black version is slightly more expensive at $60.
$56 (was $70) for white | $60 for black
- Works with Switch, PC, Mobile
- 2.4GHz Wireless dongle
- Four remappable back buttons
- Built-in 2-inch display
- Hall Effect analog sticks (swappable)
- Customizable RGB lights
- Six-axis gyroscope
- Adjustable trigger locks

The ManbaOne Wireless Controller has some nice features at this price point. Naturally, the main attraction is a built-in two-inch display, which lets you quickly change settings without the need for an app or additional software. Beyond that standout feature, the ManbaOne has many of the same customizable features found in other pro-style controllers.
That means you’ll find four remappable back buttons, premium Hall Effect analog sticks to prevent drift, trigger locks for faster actuation, and a fully customizable RGB lightbar on its side. Toss in a turbo setting and six-axis gyro support, and you’ve got a controller that’s fairly well-equipped for less than $60. As a bonus, the ManbaOne comes with a matching charging dock and a set of interchangeable thumbsticks.
The white model has a bit more of a mechanical appearance, as it shows off various components underneath the faceplate, while the black model is closer to what you’d expect a traditional controller to look like.
If you’re wondering whether the ManbaOne will work with Nintendo Switch 2, it’s not clear at this point. Although many Nintendo Switch controllers are expected to work just fine on Nintendo’s new console, the safe bets are controllers designed for Bluetooth wireless connections. Though the ManbaOne technically has Bluetooth for PC and mobile, the manufacturer recommends using the USB receiver for the best experience. Whether or the dongle will work with Switch 2 remains to be seen.
If you’re looking for pro-style controller in this price range that is expected to work with Switch 2, the recently released 8BitDo Ultimate 2 Bluetooth is a great choice. It doesn’t have a built-in screen, but it does have four remappable buttons, TMR electromagnetic analog sticks, trigger locks, superb customization software, RGB lighting rings, and excellent ergonomics. It comes with a matching charging dock and supports both Bluetooth and 2.4GHz Wireless with the included USB-C dongle on Switch and PC. The white model is on sale for $63 (was $70), but the black model is full price at the moment.
8BitDo also makes the Ultimate 2 without Switch support, in case you are in the market for a controller specifically for PC. You can save 10% on purple, black, and white models at Amazon.
