Amazon's Big Spring Sale is coming on March 25 - but 8 of my favorite gaming gadgets are already discounted

1. Razer Basilisk V3 gaming mouse | $69.99 $39.99 at Amazon
Save $30 - Not only is the Razer Basilisk V3 the best value gaming mouse I've tested so far, but it's also down to within $5 of its lowest ever price at Amazon. This is a wired device but you're still getting a nippy sensor and plenty of extra buttons, and before a very brief dip down to $35 back in September this was the lowest price around.

Buy it if:

✅ You prioritize control over speed
✅ You need extra macro buttons
✅ You have larger hands

Don't buy it if:

❌ You need a lightweight device

Featured in: Best gaming mouse

Price check: Walmart: $39.99 | Best Buy: $49.99

2. CRKD Nitro Deck | $49.99 $39.99 at Amazon
Save $10 - This is the previous generation CRKD Nitro Deck, but if you're kitting out your Switch for its last few months it's well worth a look. The wraparound chassis has just dropped back to a record-low $39.99 sales price at Amazon - and this is only the third time that rate has appeared. This is normally a $50 controller day to day.

Buy it if:

✅ You want full-sized controls
✅ You don't want to lose rumble support
✅ You want extra back buttons

Don't buy it if:

❌ You want to keep everything in a slim case

Featured in: Best Nintendo Switch controllers

Price check: Walmart: $39.99 | Best Buy: OOS

3. EasySMX X10 wireless controller | $49.99 $39.99 at Amazon
Save $10 - Don't let Amazon fool you, this hasn't been a $69.99 controller for a very long time. In fact, I've only ever seen the EasySMX X10 going for $49.99 day to day. Still, with $10 off that price point this is still a record-low on my go-to PC gamepad - a rate that's only appeared twice this year.

Buy it if:

✅ You want speedy mechanical buttons
✅ You need a PC or Switch controller
✅ You like clicky face buttons

Don't buy it if:

❌ You need PlayStation support

Featured in: Best PC controller

Price check: Walmart: $39.99 | Best Buy: OOS

4. Razer Barracuda X wireless gaming headset | $99.99 $69 at Amazon
Save $30 - This is a discount I had grown used to seeing, but that $30 saving has dropped away in the last year or so. While it has been $10 cheaper once in the past, even this $69.99 sales price has been difficult to find over the last few months, and considering the Razer Barracuda X is already so high in value it's a must-see regardless.

Buy it if:

✅ You still want solid audio
✅ You need headphones for everyday wear as well
✅ You like the Quartz Pink colorway

Don't buy it if:

❌ You can invest more in a better mic

Featured in: Best gaming headsets

Price check: Walmart: $79 | Best Buy: $80.99

5. Asus ROG Tessen mobile controller | $109.99 $89.99 at Amazon
Save $20 - The Asus ROG Tessen has just dropped back to its best price of the year at Amazon, and it's only ever been a dollar cheaper before that. This $20 discount is looking particularly smart on the foldable mobile gamepad, and considering it only shows up every few weeks now's an excellent time to jump in.

Buy it if:

✅ You don't have much bag space
✅ You're an RGB fan
✅ You use an Android device

Don't buy it if:

❌ You have an iPhone

Featured in: Best mobile controller

Price check: Walmart: $89.99 | Best Buy: OOS

6. Glorious GMMK 3 75% gaming keyboard | $129.99 $99.99 at Amazon
Save $30 - The Glorious GMMK 3 is one of my favorite gaming keyboards, and this prebuilt 75% version is now a hair under $100. That's a return to a record-low price on the wired version, and an extra $10 off the sales prices I've been seeing over the last few weeks.

Buy it if:

✅ You want a high-end typing feel
✅ You want to swap elements later on
✅ You want to trade your switches out

Don't buy it if:

❌ You need Hall effect features

Featured in: Best hot-swappable keyboard

Price check: Walmart: $129.99 | Best Buy: $119.99 (65%)

7. Asus ROG Falchion RX Low Profile wireless gaming keyboard | $169.99 $139.99 at Amazon
Save $30 - The Asus ROG Falchion RX Low Profile changed my opinion on this shorter keys entirely, and at $139.99 we're just $5 away from a record-low price. The wireless deck has only ever been $134.99 once in the past, for a single day back in December. Other than that, this is as cheap as the impressive 65% plank gets.

Buy it if:

✅ You still want dedicated media controls
✅ You like a softer typing feel
✅ You need Mac support

Don't buy it if:

❌ You prefer a thockier switch

Featured in: Best gaming keyboard

Price check: Best Buy: $139.99 | Walmart: OOS

8. Astro A50 X wireless gaming headset | $379.99 $318.49 at Amazon
Save $61.50 - It's been cheaper in the past, but only by $18 and not since November of last year. That means this is the best deal I've seen on the premium Astro A50 X gaming headset in a long time, returning to the year's lowest price on the multi-platform, KVM switching device.

Buy it if:

✅ You swap between PS5 and Xbox Series X
✅ You already have spare HDMI cables
✅ You use everything in one setup

Don't buy it if:

❌ You have consoles and PCs in different setups
❌ You need Bluetooth when you're out
