Save $400 - With $400 off the final price, this RTX 5070 Ti gaming laptop is now cheaper than many vanilla 5070 configurations - all with that extra juicy VRAM. The ROG Strix G16 is down to $1,599.99 at Best Buy right now - a rate I usually see reserved for far weaker systems.

I've been tracking deals on all kinds of gaming gadgets since I first started at our sister site TechRadar in 2019. There, deals were my bread and butter - I was sent out to hunt for the best value on the web all day every day. These days I combine that eye for value with hands-on experience across all kinds of gadgets, primarily focusing on laptops, mice, keyboards, projectors, and mobile - with a healthy dose of headsets thrown in.

8BitDo Ultimate 2 wireless controller | $59.99 $53.99 at Amazon
Save $6 - The 8BitDo Ultimate 2 is a fairly recent Nintendo Switch 2 controller, but it's still stuck close to that $59.99 MSRP day to day. With $6 off the final price, this feature-packed controller is down to its best rate at Amazon yet, just make sure you clock that coupon.

Buy it if:

✅ You're an RGB fan
✅ You need durable thumbsticks
✅ You play across multiple platforms

Don't buy it if:

❌ You want a plug and play Switch 2 experience

Price check: Best Buy: $59.99 | Walmart: $59.99

If you don't want to fork out the $90 for the Nintendo Switch 2 Pro Controller the 8BitDo Ultimate 2 is the closest you're going to get to the premium feel. While it takes a little extra setup for Ninty's latest handheld, its TMR thumbsticks and customizable RGB outplay even first party hardware and it even comes with its own charging stand included.

It's got a traditional Xbox layout, and is fully compatible across Switch, PC, and Android, so if you're after an all-in-one cross-platform device it's an easy recommendation from us.

A record-low price on the headset we recommend the most

SteelSeries Arctis Nova 3X Wireless gaming headset | $109.99 $89.99 at Amazon
Save $20 - The SteelSeries Arctis Nova 3 is already priced well for a wireless headset of this pedigree, but with $20 off the final price we're at a record-low on Amazon's shelves this weekend. This has been a full-MSRP release for some time now, before shedding its $109.99 rate just before the holidays.

Buy it if:

✅ You play across multiple systems
✅ You don't want to tinker with EQ settings yourself
✅ You prefer a detachable mic

Don't buy it if:

❌ You want SteelSeries' best audio quality

Price check: Best Buy: $109.99 | Walmart: $109.99

The SteelSeries Arctis Nova 3 is already looking pretty good for a wireless gaming headset from this pedigree brand, but it's also got plenty of extra feathers in its cap to keep competition at bay. Not only are you getting those well esteemed SteelSeries drivers, but the Arctis app provides access to a massive roster of EQ profiles tuned by sound engineers themselves. I've been using the app for a couple of years now, and rarely find myself playing a game that isn't covered.

Elsewhere you're getting all the features you'd expect from a wireless headset with this much value. 2.4GHz and Bluetooth connections keep things speedy but versatile and a comfortable ski-band style design makes longer sessions easier on the noggin.

I can finally recommend this gaming mouse

Razer Cobra HyperSpeed | $99.99 $79 at Amazon
Save $20 - It's taken its time, but the Razer Cobra HyperSpeed has finally come down from that $100 launch price and after all this time I can actually recommend it. With $20 off the original rate, you're looking at a record-low $79 sales price here.

✅ Versatility is a priority
✅ You want room to grow

Don't buy it if:

❌ You have larger hands

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

I've been keeping the Razer Cobra Hyperspeed under my hat for a few months now. It never made its way into my roster of the absolute best gaming mouse models due to its slightly-too-high price tag, but it definitely represented one of the best value options in Razer's catalog.

Today's discount marks a turning point, then. This jack-of-all trades device offers a super nimble (but still comfortable) form factor for those using a claw or fingertip grip and manages to pack all the sensor specs casual players will actually need. It's a more casual offering, but you're not paying for features you won't use, and if you do decide to go pro down the line it's also compatible with some of Razer's more premium peripherals as well.

OLED gaming monitors rarely drop this low

KTC G27P6 27-inch OLED gaming monitor | $579.99 $449.99 at Amazon
Save $130 - OLED monitors are dropping their prices fast, but this KTC panel still has one of the best rates on the web. I've only ever seen it cheaper by a single cent, and this one was back up at full price just earlier this year.

Read more: KTC G27P6 review

Buy it if:

OLED is your top priority
✅ You need extra KVM features
✅ You don't want to sacrifice refresh rates

Don't buy it if:

❌ HDR performance is a priority

The KTC G27P6 comes from a smaller brand, but it's still one of the most impressive monitors we've tested so far from a value perspective. This is actually an LG panel in a cheaper chassis, which means you're losing a little HDR finesse and the build is a little lighter but that immersive display shines just as bright as ever.

That's not even mentioning the 240Hz refresh rate and KVM switching abilities baked right in. Whether you're running a PS5 Pro or a gaming PC this is a must-see that will cost you significantly less than current LG and Samsung flagships.

One of our favorite stream mixers drops back to its lowest price yet

Elgato Stream Deck + | $199.99 $159.99 at Amazon
Save $40 - The Stream Deck Plus is a regular at this price point by now, after dropping to the record-low over Black Friday. Still, it does shoot back up the ladder frequently so this $40 discount can't be taken for granted.

Buy it if:

You want plenty of different controls
You have other Elgato kit
You use an XLR mic

Don't buy it if:

You prefer faders to dials

Price check: Best Buy: $159.99 | Walmart: $199.99

The Stream Deck + takes the classic pad we've all come to know and love and adds audio control dials to the underside. That makes it a particularly potent streaming mixer, combining two purchases into one.

You're getting the full functionality of the Stream Deck in here, with four additional dials for that audio control. If you're not fussed about mixing sound, though, they're also fully programmable to a range of different stream and productivity uses.

We're also keeping you on top of all the latest Nintendo Switch bundle deals and the best PS5 bundles on the shelves. Or take a look at this week's cheap gaming laptop deals for more discounts.
