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.

A rare saving on a top Nintendo Switch 2 controller
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
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
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
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
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.
