Whether you stream games on Luna or not, Amazon’s gamepad is a great choice for PC and mobile players, especially while it’s so steeply discounted.

Amazon’s wireless Luna controller is on sale ahead of the retailer’s big Prime Day 2024 sale next week. The Luna controller is a surprisingly good gamepad that supports PC, Mac, and smartphones, and is a solid choice even if you don’t use the Luna game streaming service. Prime members can pick one up for just $40 at Amazon right now, which knocks a hefty chunk off its normal $70 retail price.
The Luna controller features all the normal buttons and triggers you’d expect, and it uses the offset thumbstick layout similar to what you’d find on the Xbox Wireless Controller (on sale for $44) or the Nintendo Switch Pro controller (on sale for $64). However, since it’s an Amazon device, it includes built-in Alexa support, including a mic you can use for voice commands like launching Luna games or controlling other connected devices. Along with PC, Mac, Android, and iOS, the controller works with Amazon Fire TVs, Fire tablets, and Chromebooks via Bluetooth wireless or wired USB connections.
While we think the Luna controller is a solid choice for all PC and mobile players–especially when it’s just $40–it’s an even better option for Luna subscribers. Picking one up is also a great excuse to give the cloud gaming service a try, since Amazon Prime members get access to a bunch of games on the service, along with a monthly batch of PC titles each month.
The Luna controller is just one of the many great deals available at Amazon ahead of Prime Day 2024, which takes place July 16 and 17. Be sure to check our roundups for even more early discounts on other video game controllers and Amazon devices available now, and keep tabs on GameSpot’s Prime Day hub for all the latest deals.
