13 Best Deals: MagSafe Accessories, Switch Games, and Phones
We also found nice discounts on ebikes and a Microsoft Surface laptop….
Another weekend, another bevy of deals to check out. We found discounts on our favorite wireless charging accessories, plus some spring-friendly deals on gear for the outdoorsy and indoorsy. Take a gander below, and be sure to check out our deals roundup from earlier in the week for more sales.

Smartphone, Laptop, and Accessory Deals
Select colors are down to nearly the lowest price we’ve tracked. We love the Anker MagGo lineup. This handy little desktop sphere is a MagSafe wireless charger for compatible iPhones (iPhone 12 and newer) with several outlets built into the back. There are AC ports as well as USB-C and USB-A slots. It can really elevate your office setup. Read more about it in our guides to the Best Wireless Chargers and the Best MagSafe Accessories.
We prefer the more expensive 3-in-1 charging stand, but this is still a solid price for a reliable product. Belkin’s charger can top off your phone and your compatible AirPods. While it’s designed for iPhone, you can add MagSafe capabilities to certain Android devices through the magical power of phone cases. The future is now.
This is a brand-new phone that we’re in the process of testing, but Samsung’s midrange devices tend to be solid (see last year’s Galaxy A53). The Galaxy A54 has a 6.4-inch display and runs Android 13 out of the box. It’s available in purple or black. This launch promotion gets you $50 off right away, plus a $50 gift card to either Amazon or Best Buy.
This is our favorite 2-in-1 Surface. It’s powerful in nearly every configuration, and it has a bevy of ports and outlets as well as a nice display. It is a bummer that the Surface Pro Type Cover is a separate purchase since it’s the best way to make the tablet feel like a laptop, but it is on sale right now at $40 off to take the sting away.
It’s not in our Best Flash Drives guide, but it’s hard to beat a thumb drive this size for so cheap. PNY makes solid gear. This tiny gadget is already cheap, but at less than $10 it’s kind of a no-brainer. Keep it with you wherever you go—there’s a handy loop that lets you attach it to keychains or backpacks.
This deal comes around relatively frequently. It’s still tough to beat if you’re in the market for AirPods Pro (the good ones) and want to save some cash. The second-gen AirPods Pro (9/10, WIRED Recommends) are excellent headphones, particularly for iPhone users. They’ve got great noise canceling and a comfortable fit.
This price is about $20 higher than the best we’ve seen. Apple’s Magic Keyboard is too expensive, but it’s a darn good iPad accessory. This sale makes it a bit more appealing. Most new iPads are powerful enough to compete with computers, and a keyboard like this can help you take advantage of all their might. Read more about it in our Best iPad Accessories guide.
Fitness, Gaming, and Home Deals
This discount was slightly better last weekend, but since the sale is slated to end April 16, we’re re-upping it here in case you missed it. Compared to its competitors, the Propella 7S (8/10, WIRED Recommends) is lightweight and affordable. It has a top speed of 19 miles per hour and can go anywhere between 20 and 40 miles per charge. Read more about it and get other recommendations in our Best Ebikes guide.
Enter coupon code D68T4 if the code doesn’t apply automatically during checkout. This is the best discount Sam’s Club tends to offer for new memberships. You can learn more about memberships here, but suffice it to say Sam’s Club is one of those big-box-warehouse stores where you can save by buying in bulk. (I use a similar membership for cheap gas and household essentials like paper towels.) This deal expires on April 19.
If you don’t mind forgoing some of the accessories that typically accompany a Dyson purchase, this is the right price to pay for a solid vacuum. It includes a stair tool and a combination brush nozzle. Don’t be sketched out by the eBay listing—it’s from Dyson’s official eBay store. Read more about it in our Best Dyson Vacuums guide.
In celebration of the new Mario movie, some popular Marioverse Switch titles are on sale. Some examples include New Super Mario Bros U. Deluxe, Luigi’s Mansion 3, and Mario Kart 8 Deluxe. These are matches of what we saw during Mar10 Day promotions last month. These games usually sell for $60 outside of sales like this, so if you missed last month’s deals, now is a good time to pick up a game or two.
There are far worse ways to spend a weekend than playing these games. They’re older now but hold up wonderfully. This series is one of my favorites. The promotional price ends on April 17.
We haven’t tested this yet. It’s compatible with many iPhone games, including Call of Duty Mobile and Stardew Valley. This price brings it down to one of the lowest we have seen.
