It's marked full price, but will ring up half off. I scored one, it's actually pretty nice.

My target had tags showing the half off sale. Also, when I went it was the android edition on sale. Which now supports iPhone 15.

These things are going to be going for $15 in six months. Not saying wait if you really want it now, but unless someone finds away to play games on a magic mouse or keyboard Lightning is dead as 30 pin (and thank god).

I took advantage of the Android version of this being on sale for the same price in store and I'd like to add that these will go fast and stores will be low or no stock soon. Please remember that PRICE MATCH exists. I got mine at Best Buy after I bought the wrong color at another Target far far away (my local Target was out of stock) because I provided a ton of info. They said they made an exception for me but I also brought in a receipt proving the in-store price to buy another one at Best Buy. If they decline you then please just try somewhere else. It's not worth ruining someone's day over if they simply can't per their policy. Don't be that guy. If you're nice and understanding then maybe they'll do you a solid. Anyways, I ended up REALLY liking this product. I use it to play COD Mobile and Steam Link for BG3.

Same, scored an Android edition that was $50 at my store. $10 off $40 circle coupon along with some TC earnings took it down to $35.

Got it matched at BB by showing the receipt as well. Manager had to override because target online still shows $99 and said it was a one time thing, I also had talked to BB chat and they told me I could price match with a receipt so that was helping me out too.

Our community has rated this post as helpful. If you agree, why not thank

Careful using android version for iPhone 15. Target stock is the prior firmware update. This means you NEED an android device to connect first and update the firmware to use iPhone 15 with it.

The new revision that came out in the past week or two is worth the extra money for the compatibility with cases, in my opinion. I'm using it with a 15 Pro Max in a Torras MagSafe case and it fits with plenty of room to spare.

I actually returned mine and use a $16 one off Temu. Didn't know the price for the controller was because of the extra features it has which are unavailable unless you pay a yearly fee 💀

I bought the black android version. Out of the box it has firmware 1.2.4. To support the iPhone 15 you need at least 1.2.2. Cheap temu stuff would rarely surprise me with quality. I like this controller better than the kishi v1 as the dpad gives less errant diagonals or up inputs when switching from left to right. I also appreciate the passthrough USB c charging and headphone jack. You don't need to buy a subscription to use this controller, and the subscription doesn't have anything I would want. There was only one left at my target when I bought mine a week or so ago.

Great to hear. I just picked up the V1 but will return it for a V2.
