Boxing Day PC gaming deals in Australia for 2025: Deals on headsets, keyboards, monitors and much more
You thought the bargain season was over? Think again.
Boxing Day is the last big sales event of the year in Australia. It kicks off today—December 26—and has traditionally been designed to help bricks and mortar retailers get rid of any stock left over from the Christmas rush. In 2025, in keeping with the world's extreme tilt towards constant, unfettered consumerism, it's very much an online sales event too.
Boxing Day sales for PC gamers generally focus on peripherals. If you're after a keyboard, mouse, gaming headset or even a monitor, it's a great time to pick one up. What probably won't be cheap is memory and SSD storage, but that's in keeping with a worldwide trend.
Are Boxing Day sales as good as Black Friday sales? It kinda depends what you're after. Most of the deals I've collected below are about on par with the recent Black Friday deals, so if you missed out in November, here's another chance.
Early Boxing Day gaming laptop deals

This impressive offering is going to deliver playable frames for most games as long as you don't crank the detail up too high. The 15.6-in screen is sizeable for the price, and its Intel Core i5-13420H CPU plus RTX 3050 GPU all match well. As long as your expectation aren't sky-high this is a great buy for a basic gaming machine.

Asus markets this as a 'lifestyle' machine, which means it's thin and light, and pretty cleanly designed. But even with a last-gen RTX 4050 it's still got the gaming chops, as long as you don't expect to play in high detail in the latest AAA titles. The 144Hz screen is also a nice addition at this price.

We reckon the Gigabyte A16 range is one of the best looking gaming laptops out there. Slick. Smooth. You. This is the base model with an RTX 5050, paired with a 13th Gen i7-13620H. It's not lacking anywhere, with a 1TB SSD, 16GB of DDR5 and a very nice 16-inch IPS screen. This will get you gaming for peanuts with such a chunky discount, though it was AU$100 cheaper during Black Friday.

A step up from the A16 deal above, this one sports a better GPU in the form of an RTX 5060. And for just a hundred bucks more that's definitely worth it for significantly better performance, in our opinion. The rest of the specs are the same. It's not as good as the AU$1,599 price seen during Black Friday, but it's still decent.

Here's a nice 5070Ti machine from Asus with a grand lopped off the price for Boxing Day, and you can grab it now. The 24-core Intel Core Ultra 9 275HX is a serious gaming powerhouse, and it can pull up to 65W when under load so it won't be starved of juice. It's the RTX 5070Ti we like best in this rig, being the laptop sweet-spot GPU of the moment. There's free shipping on this deal too.

Sure, a fully specced gaming laptop with pretty much the best of everything will cost you the same as a used car, but HP's lopped AU$2,600 off the price with this Boxing Day stunner. RTX 5090? Check. Core Ultra 9? Check. 16-inch 240Hz OLED? Hell yeah! Connectivity is supreme, too, with a pair of Thunderbolt 4 40Gbps ports, HDI 2.1 and a couple of USB-A ports.
Early Boxing Day gaming monitor deals

Look: this is a pretty great price for a curved 27 inch QHD display with a 165Hz refresh rate, and if you're looking for a reliable second screen the price is verily right. Boasts HDR10, AMD FreeSync and a 1ms response time. Very tempting "for a rainy day" pick up.

There's not much more you could want with this chonker. 44-inches of 170Hz curved screen to lose yourself into, and at AU$899 it's a bit of a bargain right now. The 5120 x 1440 resolution is also damn handy when you use this as a work monitor.
Read moreRead less▼
A tidy discount on this rather excessive 34 inch curved ultrawide OLED monitor. It has a 175Hz refresh rate, 0.03ms response time, and a crisp 3440x1440 resolution. We haven't tested this particular model, but if you already know you want it, this discount is probably worth noting.

This compact 27 inch OLED MSI beauty boasts a 4K resolution with a blistering 240Hz refresh rate—if you've got the hardware to make the most of it. Obviously this is a pricey panel with the discount or not, but we can vouch for its quality. In his 85 / 100 review, Jeremy Laird admired its pixel density, pixel speed and great HDR experience, while bemoaning its price.

This 32-inch affair is one of our fave gaming monitors, and if you don't trust me check out this 92 / 100 review. Samsung's QD-OLED tech pumps out a sharp 4K resolution with an uber-smooth 240Hz refresh rate, with AMD FreeSync and G-Sync support into the fact.
Early Boxing Day gaming keyboard deals

I use this keyboard every day, all day and can highly recommend. The RGB is typically stunning, and the build is very robust: you could use it to knock out an intruder. It features 8,000Hz hyper-polling, 4,000Hz key scanning, PBT Double-shot Pro keycaps and yeah: it looks great. Was cheaper during Black Friday by around AU$35.

A decent discount on this well-regarded 75% size mechanical gaming keyboard. It has an elegant and reserved aesthetic, but it's a true powerhouse when it comes to gaming performance, with hot-swappable pre-lubed caps and dual-layer sound dampening.
Read moreRead less▼
If you want your keyboard to take up as little space as possible, this is a wireless 65 percenter with low profile optical switches. Small doesn't mean discreet though, so rest assured there's plenty of RGB on this thing. The ROG Falchion RX is the favourite low profile keyboard in our best gaming keyboard list, ticking just about every must-have box including great switches, a sturdy build, and plenty of connectivity options.

This discount makes an affordable keyboard much more so, dipping it into impulse buy territory. Membrane keyboards aren't for everyone - they lack the gratifying tactility of their mechanical siblings—but if you like 'em, or are curious, this is a trick. It's a wired affair with ten-zone RGB, spill resistance, and—naturally unusually quiet button presses.

This Nintendo-themed mechanical keyboard is a wireless affair with support for both Bluetooth and 2.4 GHz wireless. Despite having the appearance of a novelty item, it is a fully functioning piece of kit that will delight anyone who likes fancy-flavoured PC peripherals.

This is a decent price for this gorgeous 75% keyboard (though not as great as Black Friday's AU$229). It has both Bluetooth and 2.4GHz wireless connectivity, amazing gasket mount keys, and an OLED display at the top right corner so that you don't always have to use Asus's (often annoying) desktop software. Only the white is going for this price.

If you fancy a new keyboard but are averse to spending more than AU$100, this Logitech slab will prove mighty irresistible. We haven't reviewed it, but we've tested tonnes of great Logitech gear, and at this price you're getting some great features including "spill resistance" and the full RGB experience.
Early Boxing Day gaming mouse deals
Read moreRead less▼
This is a dependable budget mouse at a price you can barely argue with, even if you're just after a backup rodent. It has an advertised 10 million click lifespan, and a 6,400 DPI, which isn't the highest but at this price point you can hardly argue it's not enough. While the RRP is AU$94.95, the actual street price hovers around AU$50.

The Corsair Sabre V2 Pro is one of PC Gamer's best reviewed gaming mice of 2025. Jacob Fox loved its near-impossible lightness (36g!), app-free ease of use, brilliant sensor and robust build, though didn't like that it can only store one onboard profile. Look at the specs: 8,000Hz Hyper-Polling, 33,000 DPI, and up to 70 hours of battery life. For a newly released gaming mouse, this discount is great.

A nice discount off this thicc gaming mouse. It has to be: it's equipped for optimal FPS and MOBA use, meaning it has seven customisable buttons, onboard profile storage, a toothy scroll wheel, and two-tone RGB. This is a good price for a solid mouse.
Read moreRead less▼
Besides the usual HyperX quality and design, the Saga Pro is a gamer favourite for some thanks to its customisation options, which includes the ability add your own 3D printed panels. Marvellous, say we when we first had a look.
Read moreRead less▼
A decent discount on this premium Logitech rodent, which has an RRP of AU$299.95 which Amazon is evidently ignoring. It boasts five programmable buttons and an astonishing 95 hours battery life on a single charge, but still a small saving. Boasts a 32K DPI sensor and up to 8 kHz polling.
Early Boxing Day gaming headset deals

This wired gaming headset is a budget affair from a reputable brand, and frankly, AU$25 is an absolute steal. It's compatible with all modern games consoles (and PC) and boasts an omni-directional mic, on-board mute and volume controls, and 50mm audio drivers for a powerful sound. Don't expect the world, but if you don't want to spend big bucks on a headset this is the very best option at present.

A chunky discount on this very capable wireless set of cans, boasting both 2.4 Ghz wireless and Bluetooth (the latter helps it double as an on-the-go set of headphones) as well as 50 hour battery life and a detachable mic. We reviewed an earlier version of this model without Bluetooth and liked what we tested. The black colourway has now sold out, but you can still nab this price in white or pink.

HyperX's mid-range Wireless cans have a decent discount happening right now. We've reviewed these and reckon they were alright too. You can expect good batter life and very good audio quality from the Stinger 2s.

If you're hell bent on keeping costs low, JBL’s Quantum 100M2 is cheap as chips—especially if you happen to be buying AU$27 worth of chips. These aren't fancy but they do work, with a boom mic, breathable ear cushions, and a stripped-back design.
Read moreRead less▼
Here's JBL's stab at the mid-range market. We haven't reviewed these but if you're after an affordable wireless headset it could be worth investigation: boasts up to 22 hours of battery life, a flip-up boom mic, JBL QuantumSURROUND tech and compatibility across PC and consoles (not to mention smartphones).
Read moreRead less▼
A nice cut off this relatively new set of gaming cans with some great features: Dolby Atmos, dual wireless (connect to two things at once!) and fast charging for the battery with 70 hours capacity. We reviewed it in April and it held up well, though we did bemoan its "reliance on bloatware" and the lack of a wired connection.

This winning headset scored 88 / 100 in our review. We loved the price point, the comfortable floating headband, the spatial audio and the long battery, while complaining about its "meh" mic and no ANC. This is a substantial discount if you're in the market for one of these.
Early Boxing Day handheld PC deals

If you're curious about this collab between Asus and Microsoft, AU$100 off the RRP may tip you over the edge. This particular model should not be confused with the ROG Xbox Ally X, which has better specs than this cheaper model. I wouldn't personally opt for this over the Steam Deck, mostly because this thing is pricey and doesn't have trackpads. But it's there if you want it.
Read moreRead less▼
A generous discount on this Lenovo handheld, though it was down to AU$799 during Black Friday. It comes equipped with Windows (and not SteamOS like one of its stablemates). The best thing going for it is its bright 120Hz screen, but it also has great battery life and superlative comfort. This model has 16GB RAM; it's also possible to get a 32GB equivalent, though there aren't any offers on that model at present.
Early Boxing Day gaming controller deals
Read moreRead less▼
This controller doesn't factor in our favourite gamepads for PC, and it has some imperfections—namely, its inclination towards stick drift—but its haptics are world class and it feels really good in the hand. If you're happy with the trade-offs, you'll be super happy with this nowadays rare discount. Stock of some colours has sold out, but there were still several available at this price as of this writing.

This is the lowest price we've seen on this SCUF pad and it's a decent chunk off the rather exorbitant RRP. It's all about customisation thanks to its remappable back paddles, instant triggers, and solid build. We reviewed this model well back in 2021, but it no longer ranks among the best PC gaming controllers. The price here is on the Blue controller, and the other colours are more expensive.

At RRP this gamepad is very expensive, but the cost is justified. In addition to drift-free, hall effect analog sticks and tactile microswitches, the Stealth Ultra also has four rear paddle buttons and, most conspicuously, a big 'ol LCD screen on the front. The latter can be used for software-free customisation, and to receive notifications. I scored it a 90 / 100 in my review.

In these days of austerity, RGB bling is now seen as pompous postering. So get with the proletariat program and invest in these unadorned but hard working Corsair fans. This works out at just AU$11.66 per fan, not that we think in terms of individuality anymore.

Unless you bought a new motherboard or PC in the last year or so, chances are it's not running the latest Wi-Fi 7 standard. If you have a home router that is Wi-Fi 7, then chuck this in your PC and see and instant improvement in internet speeds. For this price you'll need to be an Amazon Prime member (or grab a free trial).

Sapphire is an AMD stalwart, with its cards engineered to get the most from AMD's GPUs. Here's its RX 9060 XT, which is discounted from AU$649 to AU$589. Our Dave James reckons the 9060 XT is one of the best GPUs at the moment.

20% off for a graphics card isn't to be sneezed at. AU$999 for a 9070XT is something to think about. AMD's 9070XT gives strong performance and the price, especially now, makes it very appealing. XFX often come in cheaper than the bigger names, but in our experience the quality and reliability isn't compromised.

The Nvidia RTX 5060 Ti is shaping up to be the classic GPU of this generation, with 16GB of memory and base performance up to 20% better than last-gen's 4060 Ti. This good looking white Asus will do you right at AU$769, which is better than the usual AU$899.

This is the entry-level CPU in Intel's new Core Ultra range, and is a very economical option to get going on the platform. It comes with a 10-core configuration, six performance cores and four efficiency cores, and 22MB cache.
Early Boxing Day PC storage deals

With a NAS you can run your own cloud, and this Asustor Drivestor 4 AS1104T 4-Bay unit is a cheap way to get that done. Our colleagues over at Windows Central rate it highly, saying it's a great option for the home to store all your... stuff. Like any NAS you need to BYO hard drives, of course.

These are tops for making your laptop louder. And if you're relying on monitor speakers for audio right now, well whoa Nellie, get these and you could be happy forever. They'll connect via Bluetooth or USB.

When was the last time you thoroughly cleaned your keyboard? Or your case's fans and filters? Or your graphics card's vents and fans? Exactly. Give canned compressed air the puff and enjoy the futuristic delights of a powerful handheld air blower. It'll clean pretty much anything that dust loves, and it's more fun than scrubbing.

Thanks for not scrolling past this little wonder. It's a handy dandy monitor riser, yes, but also has a built-in wireless phone charger (only 15w, but still), along with 5 USB ports, HDMI, an RJ45 networking port and a 100w power delivery port. Plus a couple of drawers for your stash. Remarkable, especially with 46% off the price.

This classic gaming speaker set might not be the newest around, but it's highly regarded, as our mates over at TechRadar also reckoned when they gave it 5/5 and talked up its excellent sound quality and good dimensional audio for gaming.

A nice saving on the entry level Meta Quest 3S, which is the best entry level VR headset on the market. The 256GB model is also on sale for AU$558, down from the original AU$669.
Early Boxing Day gaming chair and desk deals

The Titan Evo is our favorite gaming chair, and has been for the longest time. It's the benchmark by which we judge all other gaming chairs—it's comfortable, supportive, and easy to assemble. The holy trinity. Buying direct from Secretlab is the only way to pick up this chair at this price right now.

A nice saving on the very best gaming desk you can get (though there isn't a great deal of competition, at least in Australia). This one completely eliminates cable mess, has an integrated power supply column, a bunch of modular 'n' magnetic accessories, and electric height adjustment from 650mm to 1250mm.
Early Boxing Day streaming deals

A substantial discount on this top notch gaming microphone, which we rate as the best option overall, whether you're in it for streaming or just co-op play sans headset. We love its small form factor, excellent software and brilliant auto levelling, though the cable is a tad short, and the noise reduction can be a bit overzealous.
Read moreRead less▼
HyperX's update to the well loved original QuadCast automatically make it one of our favourites, with excellent build quality and design and superior audio. Plus with the 2, more RGB. Tom's Hardware reckon it's a 4/5 star mic, praising it as one of the best at its price.

When do Boxing Day sales start in 2025?
Boxing Day always lands on December 26: the day after Christmas. Australians, frustrated by the lack of shopping options on December 25, are invited to release all of their pent up consumerist energy on December 26, thanks to most major retailers (and many smaller ones) hosting big sales events on this day.
More accurately: Boxing Day is a great way for retailers to get rid of all the stock they may have overstocked for the Christmas season. That's why it's well-worth keeping an eye out for good bargains.
Keep up to date with the most important stories and the best deals, as picked by the PC Gamer team.
