If all-in-one chargers are your jam and you’ve been waiting for a great opportunity to upgrade to Qi2, check out this deal on ESR’s latest model. You can save $56.99 ($16 off) on ESR’s Qi2 3-in-1 wireless charging station after clipping the coupon at Amazon. That’s the lowest price we’ve seen on this particular model and easily the best deal you’ll find on a Qi2 3-in-1 charger from any brand right now.

The multipurpose charger has everything you’d expect: It uses magnets to hold your iPhone and Apple Watch in place and still has a free spot to charge your AirPods. The charger offers 15W charging speeds on any Qi2 phone, which, for now, is limited to the iPhone 12 and newer. The base of the charger accepts AirPods and other wireless earbuds that have Qi charging built into the case or any other small devices you might have with Qi charging support. The watch charger, meanwhile, has quick charge support for Apple Watch Series 7 and newer and charges older models at slower speeds. As a bonus, the Apple Watch charger is detachable from the base, so you can use it on the go with other USB-C wall adapters.

ESR’s 3-in-1 wireless charging station has a Qi2 holder for charging your iPhone at 15W speeds, plus a magnetic holder for the Apple Watch and a charging base for AirPods. You can also detach the Apple Watch charger for separate use.

More May deals to go with May’s flowers

  • April showers bring May flowers, which also means more bugs. We like Thermacell’s electric mosquito repellent to stave off bites and agonizing itching, and it’s down to $29.99 ($10 off) at Amazon right now, one of the lowest prices we’ve seen. It diffuses a repellent solution that lasts up to 12 hours (there’s one in the box, but you’ll have to purchase more once it runs out), though the device itself can only run for about 5.5 hours before it needs charging.
  • Right now, the second-gen Apple Pencil has dropped to a new all-time low of $79 ($50 off) at Amazon, Best Buy, and Target. If you own one of Apple’s latest iPad Pro, iPad Air, and iPad Mini models, this is an excellent stylus for drawing and taking notes. The pressure-sensitive Pencil recharges by magnetically attaching to the side of tablets, which is a convenient feature its predecessor lacked. It also supports tap gestures and the hover feature on M2-equipped iPad Pros. By the way, we’re expecting new iPad Pro and iPad Air models on May 7th, and there could be a new Apple Pencil coming alongside them, so keep that in mind if you want the latest and greatest.
  • Arlo’s Essential Wired Video Doorbell is on sale for just $67.81 (about $62 off) at Amazon, which is only $28 more than the all-time low. The video doorbell is one of our favorite models, thanks to its native support for both Google Assistant and Alexa, as well as features like smart alerts for people, packages, animals, and vehicles. That said, you’ll need a premium subscription (starting at $7.99 a month or $69.99 annually for a single camera) to access anything beyond a live view.
  • This isn’t really a deal, but GameCube fans might appreciate this callout all the same: the BattlerGC Pro, a modernized GameCube-style controller, is available for preorder at Retro Fighters starting today. The controllers ship starting October 15th, but you can place your preorder for $59.95 and get it in either purple or crystal clear (there are only 2,000 of the latter available). The controller comes with a 2.4GHz Wi-Fi dongle and Bluetooth built-in for use with PC, Nintendo Switch, and even older Nintendo consoles like the original GameCube, Wii, and Wii U. It also has dual rear paddles, features Hall effect analog sticks and dual trigger modes (full analog and digital button), and is rated to last at least 10 hours per charge.
