ASUS ROG Tessen Android controller drops to record low price on Amazon

Amazon has lowered the price of ASUS's ROG Tessen, a foldable controller that turns an Android phone into a handheld gaming device. According to 9to5Toys, the unit fell to $60, a 50 percent cut from its usual $110 list price and its recent $130 going rate. Android Authority reported a price of $64.99 instead. Both outlets describe the offer as the lowest price they have tracked for this controller.

The discount is aimed at Android gamers who want a wired controller with a USB-C connection. The reports do not give an end date for the offer or say how much stock is available. Because the two reported prices differ by about five dollars, readers should check the live listing on Amazon before buying.

For people building a mobile gaming setup, the deal lowers the cost of a dedicated controller that pairs with a phone rather than a console. Anyone who already owns a compatible Android phone can use it on the go. Compare the current price with earlier listings before ordering.
