8Bitdo may have already launched its Pro 3 controller, but that doesn't mean you should dismiss older models. The Pro 2 has been one of our favorites for a long time, and right now Prime members can get the Bluetooth controller bundled with a travel case for only $40. That's $20 off and a 34-percent discount. This controller does, indeed, work with the Nintendo Switch 2, and the only caveat is that the sale price is only available to Prime members.

8Bitdo's Pro 2 controller with travel case is on sale for $40 for Prime members

engadget.com Unknown 2025-10-01 22:52:55

It has been just over a month since 8Bitdo released its Pro 3 controller. While the new model is a great option, its predecessor shouldn't be kicked to the wayside — especially when it's on sale. Right now, Prime members can get the 8Bitdo Pro 2 wireless Bluetooth controller and a travel case for $40, down from $60. The 34 percent discount solves our biggest gripe about the device: that it's too big to carry around sans case. Plus, it gives you a cheaper option that's also compatible with the n

The King’s College London team of scientists discovered that keratin produces a protective coating that mimics the structure and function of natural enamel when it comes into contact with minerals in saliva. In a new study published today, scientists discovered that keratin, a protein found in hair, skin and wool, can repair tooth enamel and stop early stages of decay.

We've tried a few and think they're fine to use in addition to regular brushing. None of them are as effective as standard electric toothbrushes.
