Dbrand’s new $20 Joy-Lock is simple, but great. I typically don’t ever want to use my Switch 2 Joy-Con, but that’s changed a bit since this holder lets them spread out for added comfort. The Joy-Lock looks and feels best when used with the company’s $20 grips (also included with the Killswitch), but they aren’t required.

If you’re considering an Apple Watch SE or the Series 11, but want something more durable, the first-gen Apple Watch Ultra is in the same pricing ballpark. You can snag a refurbished model at Amazon for $299. It only comes with a 90-day window for warranty coverage and to get a refund, but it’s nevertheless a solid deal.

While not nearly as fast, as waterproof, or as good at taking pictures as Google’s $1,499 Pixel 10 Pro Fold, the company’s first-gen foldable is a good value at $450. That’s how much the 256GB unlocked version costs now from Woot. It includes a one-year warranty, and Google will support it with OS and security updates (including Pixel Drop features) through 2028.

The Arctis Nova Omni succeeds its best-in-class Arctis Nova Wireless from 2022. It’s more of the same (good!), but with wireless hi-res audio support (24-bit/96kHz) like the $599 Elite from last year, plus Xbox support built into every model. I’m testing it now against the Turtle Beach Stealth Pro II, which also offers wireless hi-res audio and swappable batteries for $50 less. Stay tuned.

Valve’s $99 Steam Controller is up for purchase exclusively at Steam. We’ve spent a bunch of time with it recently, so check out our review if you’re still on the fence. Also, read our deep dive on how the new model compares to competitors, and catch up on the replies to the AMA we held last week for Verge subscribers.
