Best Buy's Presidents Day sale is live, and with a week of savings ahead of us there's plenty of discounts to filter through. This isn't my first rodeo. I've been hunting down the biggest deals for gamers for over seven years now, going hands-on with all the latest releases and then watching those numbers fall after launch day.

That means I know which tech should be at the top of your shopping list during the first major sale of the year, and exactly how much you should be paying for it.

Here's how I've spent my morning. I've been scrolling through every single Best Buy Presidents Day deal on the site, picking out only the controllers, headsets, games, laptops, PCs, and keyboards that we at GamesRadar+ actively recommend based on intensive testing. Just because something's good doesn't mean it's a great deal, though. From there, I've checked price histories and whittled this collection of Chrome tabs down to the offers that represent record-low prices that can't be beaten elsewhere on the web.

Save $20 - The featherweight Corsair V2 Pro Ultralight has only seen this $79.99 sales price a couple of times in its short life so far, but we're back at this record-low position this week. It was already particularly well-priced at just shy of $100, but with an extra $20 off it's a must-see.

When will Best Buy's Presidents Day sale end?

Best Buy's Presidents Day sale ends on Monday February 16, though some offers could well stick around for a couple of days afterwards as I've seen in previous events.

Do other retailers have Presidents Day sales?

Other stores regularly offer discounts during the Presidents Day weekend, but some seem to be starting a little later this year. At the time of writing Walmart doesn't have a specific Presidents Day selection of offers, while Amazon makes no mention of the sale on its own site either.

If you're after a PC or gaming laptop, though, brand-owned sites like Dell and Lenovo already have their Presidents Day sales live and waiting.

I'm also hunting down all this week's biggest gaming laptop deals as well as the latest PS5 bundle deals and cheap Nintendo Switch bundles as well.

Managing Editor of Hardware at GamesRadar+, I originally landed in hardware at our sister site TechRadar before moving over to GamesRadar. In between, I've written for Tom’s Guide, Wireframe, The Indie Game Website and That Video Game Blog, covering everything from the PS5 launch to the Apple Pencil. Now, i'm focused on Nintendo Switch, gaming laptops (and the keyboards, headsets and mice that come with them), PS5, and trying to find the perfect projector.
