The arrival of Apple Arcade has pulled me back into the mobile gaming space. If this rings true for you as well, consider grabbing this $10 mobile game controller instead. While it lacks typical buttons, there are mechanical triggers that tap the screen for you, making this a great upgrade for anyone playing Call of Duty Mobile, PUBG, and the list goes on.

Yet another way to have some fun over Christmas is with Sphero’s Swift-powered Programmable Robot Ball. It’s fallen to $36 and like the lead deal, is still slated to arrive by Christmas. This sensor-ridden device boasts a gyroscope, accelerometer, and more. Players can control it using JavaScript or Swift, helping pave the way towards a career in web or software development.
