You can spend hundreds refreshing your setup on Black Friday. I'm not interested in OLED monitors worth hundreds of dollars or a whole new RTX 5080 rig right now, though. I've been hunting down the cheapest gadgets that are actually still worth your time, and this week you can upgrade your setup with a new gaming mouse, keyboard, and headset all for less than $70. That's not $70 per item, that's $70 total.
Not only that, but all three of these Black Friday gaming deals have the GamesRadar+ seal of approval. The Newmen GM326 gaming keyboard (now $19.99, was $25.99 at Amazon) has been on my desk for the last three months, I've been rocking the Razer Basilisk V3 (now $29.44, was $69.99) for years at this point, and Rosalie's been carting the Turtle Beach Airlite Fit (now $19.99, was $27.99) around with her Switch 2 since it launched.
All of these gaming gadgets are featured among our top recommendations, and still only total up to $69.42. That's less than a single mid-range item in each category.
Let's start with that keyboard. The Newmen GM326 took me by surprise this year. Mechanical keyboards have been dropping their prices for some time now, but this is the first budget model I've tested that offers full (and easy) hot-swappability as well as a dedicated volume control dial. That latter feature is particularly rare in this cheaper market, but I was taken aback by just how good it all feels. There's very little echo, satisfyingly smooth switches, and rich bottom-out sound, and even a cushioned landing to each press here. You can pay three times this price tag and not find that.
The Razer Basilisk V3 has been on my radar for years, and it's a regular among my top recommendations when Black Friday deals turn up the heat. It's a wired mouse, but it still packs the high-end build quality Razer is known for. That's with plenty of buttons, a slick RGB underglow effect, and a comfortable wide base. This is an all-rounder that won't suit particularly competitive players but everyday users are set for excellent value overall.
The Turtle Beach Airlite Fit is a newer release, but one that benefits from the developments of every budget gaming headset before it. You're getting audio quality that would have cost three times this price just a few years ago and a comfortable padded fit to boot. No, you won't get the features of the very best gaming headsets here, but if you just need your audio loud and reliable this is a fantastic device.
