There’s a lot more to a good gaming setup outside of consoles and their respective games. We have guides to the best wireless gaming headsets, (wired headsets too), as well as a roundup of the best gaming mice. Below are some of the top deals we’ve seen so far.
SteelSeries Arctis Pro + GameDAC Wired Gaming Headset for $180 ($70 off)
The Steelseries Arctis Pro reigns supreme as the best overall gaming headset (read our review). With its comfy design, strong build quality, and plethora of fancy features, it’s definitely worth considering if you have a bigger budget.
SteelSeries Arctis 7 for $116 ($3 off)
The Arctis Pro might be the best, but the Arctis 7 is a solid contender if you have a smaller budget, specifically for PC gamers. It comes with a 3.5mm cable, the retractable mic lights up red when muted, and the SteelSeries Engine app lets you control features like mic monitoring. It helps that it’s very comfortable to wear.
Razer Nari Wireless Gaming Headset for $90 ($60 off)
If you don’t want to spend that much on a gaming headset, check out the Razer Nari, which our reviews editor, Jeffrey Van Camp, said is bulky but comfortable to wear. There’s no mic monitoring so it can be hard to tell how loud you’re talking, but the earcups isolate noise well and they sound good. The Nari works with PS4 and PC, but if you have an Xbox One, you’ll need to spend a little more for the Nari Ultimate.
Astro A10 Gaming Headset for $50 ($10 off)
For console and PC gamers on a budget, the Astro A10 is a thrifty choice. Though basic in functionality and design, this headset has good sound quality and a comfy build, making it a solid choice for most situations.
Razer Mamba Wireless Gaming Mouse for $50 ($29 off)
There’s a reason why the Razer Mamba is the top pick in our best gaming mouse guide. It’s beautifully ergonomic, it feels nice in the hand, and the buttons are in the right places. It works wired or wireless, and it will last a long time according to our reviewer, Jess Grey.
EVGA GeForce RTX 2080 for $639 ($240 off)
The GeForce RTX 2080 is Nvidia’s top-of-the-line graphics card for gamers who want to run their games at 4K resolutions with graphics settings maxed out while still enjoying silky smooth frame rates. For those interested in VR, you’ll need more than just a good GPU, but the RTX 2080 will definitely help. Use promo code VGAPCJP535 at checkout to get the price down to $679, and then the $40 rebate card will bring the total to $639.
SanDisk 128 GB MicroSD Card for Switch for $20 ($10 off)
The Nintendo Switch doesn’t include much internal storage (a paltry 32 GB), so getting a MicroSD to supplement the console is a must. This 128 GB MicroSD does the trick, offering up enough storage space to hold more than a few games at a time.
MSI Optix G27C4 FreeSync Gaming Monitor for $178 ($72 off)
MSI’s gaming monitor has a 165Hz refresh rate, ensuring your games look silky smooth on the LCD screen, and the 1 ms response time means it’s ideal for fast-paced games. The screen resolution isn’t as high as we’d like—the 1,920 x 1,080 resolution might look a little stretched on a 27-inch screen— but the deal makes it decent value.
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Arcade Machine for $350 ($50 off)
Want a blast of nostalgia? An arcade machine will do the trick. This one lets you play the classic Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Turtles In Time, just make sure you have the room for it in your house or apartment. If it’s on the pricier end, there are discounts on other arcade machines, like the Galaga Arcade Machine*, which costs $150 ($150 off).
