Amazon is running a new promotion which gives you 550 Amazon Coins for free (a $5 value) when you purchase the Fire TV Game Controller. This is a great deal because the game controller is already on sale for $39.99, which is down from its regular price of $49.99. The combination of the sale price and free coins makes this the best deal ever for the official game controller. Unfortunately, click the terms and conditions link on the promotion page takes you to information about Amazon coins, and not this specific promotion, so there’s no way to know how long this deal will last. After purchasing the game controller, your 550 coins will automatically be added to your account’s coin balance within 48 hours.

Is the old or new AFTV game controller better? Does the old one work better with Gen1 and the new one for Gen2 or do they both work equally well and are responsive with any AFTV version?
I think the Gen 2 controller is significantly better than the first one. The only real advantage the Gen 1 has over the new one is the Gen 1 has dedicated media buttons, where as the Gen 2 uses the other buttons to control playback, and it’s easy to forget which buttons do what. They both work equally well with all models, from what I’ve found.
