Razer Huntsman Mini | Tenkeyless | Razer optomechanical switch (clicky or linear) | Chroma RGB lighting | $119.99 $69.99 at Amazon (save $50)
A teeny-tiny keyboard, but with some seriously impressive credentials. You can customise the lighting to your heart's content with Razer's Chroma RGB lighting, but the headline feature here is the inclusion of optical-mechanical switches, with key presses registered at the speed of light. It's also got oil-resistant PBT keypads and Razer Hypershift for all your favourite macros. A lot of cool features in a small-yet-premium feeling package, now at a great price.

Corsair K60 Pro TKL | Optical mechanical switches | RGB lighting | $90.34 $85.53 at Amazon (save $4.81)
The first mechanical keyboard our Jacob bought for himself was a Corsair K65—these little tenkeyless keyboards have come on a lot since then. Nowadays the K60 comes with optical switches for a faster actuation and longer lifespan, and an 8,000 Hz polling rate. It's a neat little solution for smaller desks or gamers who don't care for a numpad.

For those of you who like your keyboards large, comfy and with a choice of switches, how about this slightly sinister-looking G513? Something of the Darth Vader about it this one, but with a choice between brown and blue switches, a detachable memory foam palm rest and a durable aluminium alloy construction this keyboard is certainly here to make an impact. It also has a USB pass-through port, meaning you can plug your mouse or even your phone into it for data transmission or charging.

Logitech G915 TKL | Wireless | Low-profile mechanical switches | $139.99 at Newegg
If you don't mind losing out on the numpad, you can save a heap on this compact wireless keyboard. Wireless keyboards aren't by any means essential, but that little extra freedom can be nice if you're a regular sim racer or couch gamer.

Here you get excellent switch feel, impeccable gaming performance, sound dampening that actually works and a build quality that stands head and shoulders above most of the competition. A truly desirable object, for less.

This is the keyboard our Jacob keeps going back to. It's a sleek, low-profile board that even a good few years after release still earns pride of place on our desktops. A lovely design with heaps of macros down the left-hand side, if you want a wireless board this is still one of our absolute favorites.

With SteelSeries' own OmniPoint 2.0 mechanical switches, rapid trigger functionality, and dual actuation, the Apex Pro Gen 2 is a competitive keyboard with some lovely features like an included palm rest and OLED screen.

Logitech G915 X Lightspeed | Wireless |Low-profile mechanical switches | Linear | $229.99 $179.99 at Amazon (save $50)
In our Logitech G915 X Lightspeed review, we praise this keyboard's excellent battery life, responsive keys, and great feel, and our biggest criticism is that it is quite expensive. Luckily, this deal solves our main problem. It has meaningful improvements over the standard G915 model, with a firmer board and better battery, and it's well worth the extra cash if you have it.

The Keychron Q3 Max is one of those keyboards you really have to see, hear, and touch in person to understand just how nice it is. Our Jacob has been luring colleagues over to its wonderful typing sound for a while now. It also has just about everything you might want from a keyboard, which is a bonus.

Asus ROG Azoth | 75% | Mechanical lubed switches | Hot-swappable | $249.99 $183.99 at Amazon (save $66)
Our top gaming keyboard is a larger, cheaper version of this board. I know, it's a little odd that this diddy board is actually the more expensive of the two, but that's because it's intended to be the most premium of the lot with a compact customisable OLED screen and all the trimmings. That includes sound dampening (which really does make for a satisfying clack) and lubed switches. It's a dream to type and game on, and at this price worth considering (though it's still pretty expensive, ngl).

The Logitech G305 Lightspeed is our favorite wireless budget mouse—it's nothing fancy, but it's lightweight, has great battery life, and uses a killer sensor. The only thing to note is that this deal isn't necessarily that out of left field—the G305 hasn't been at full price for a while, but it's still worth snagging if you need a nice budget option with no frills in time for Christmas.

The G502 Hero uses the Hero 25K sensor for accuracy, 11 customisable buttons with onboard memory, and comes with five removable weights to adjust the feel for even the pickiest of competitive gamers.

With 11 programmable buttons, an improved thumb rest, a hyperscroll tilt wheel and some very cool underglow lighting the Razer Basilisk is sure to make an impression both in performance and aesthetics.

Logitech G Pro gaming mouse | 25K sensor | Wireless | 80 g | $129.99 $66.49 at Amazon (save $63.50)
With Logitech's first-generation Hero sensor, this mouse is plenty snappy with a max DPI of 25,000. It also comes with a wireless receiver to ensure a report rate of just 1 ms. You will find more impressive mice, like the G Pro 2 Lightspeed, with better specs, but this maximises value to quality almost perfectly, at nearly half the cost of its successor.

We gave this mouse an 85% in our review just earlier this year, praising its very low weight, huge battery life, and super responsive feel. It doesn't have quite as many fun extras as competitors and can be a bit of a fingerprint magnet but is a super solid choice at just $70.

When we reviewed the G502 Lightspeed we found it to be a brilliant mouse, but a little bit on the pricey side. However, with a discount this big we're more than happy to sing the praises of this excellent device. 11 customisable buttons, a fantastically accurate sensor, great looks and comfort, tuneable weights and PowerPlay wireless charging support with a 60-hour plus battery life. Phew. That's a lot of great features, and a mighty gaming mouse this makes indeed. One to look out for, especially at this sort of money.

Razer DeathAdder V3 Pro | 30K sensor | Wireless | 90 hour battery | $99.95 $79.95 at Newegg (save $20)
The DeathAdder V3 Pro was our previous pick for the absolute best gaming mouse, and the only reason it dropped off the list is because the V3 HyperSpeed version was better value. At this price, however, the V3 Pro is cheaper than the HyperSpeed and is definitely where it's at. You're getting the best Razer has to offer in its beloved DeathAdder form factor, and that's a heck of a lot for this price.

This extremely competitive gaming mouse is down to a pretty stellar price, here. It's also a fantastic gaming mouse, which my colleague Jacob swears by—he uses it every single day, and when he replaces it for a new mouse to review, he brings the Superlight right back in when he's done.

Razer Basilisk V3 Pro | 30K sensor | Wireless | 13 controls | Up to 150-hour battery life | 108 g | $159.99 $99.99 at Amazon (save $60)
The Razer Basilisk V3 Pro earns that Pro moniker with a high max DPI, Gen 3 optical switches and tonnes of customizable buttons to access quick controls in games. Though it is a bit heavy and requires Razer Synapse (Razer's own software) to get the most out of it, we were very positive about this rodent in our Razer Basilisk V3 Pro review.

Logitech G Pro X Superlight 2 | 44K sensor | Wireless | 60 g | $159 $117.31 at Amazon (save $41.69)
The Superlight 2 has only recently been updated to a higher 44K DPI and 888 IPS, setting it even further apart from its predecessor. While the original Superlight is better value when the Superlight 2 is full price, with this discount in play it's difficult to pick between the two. With the second version, you're getting a better sensor, higher polling, extra battery life, and type-C charging.

GameSir Nova Lite | White | $24.99 at Amazon
This gaming controller remains our top budget pick for good reason, and this deal makes the case for it even sounder. In our review, James was particularly impressed by just how much GameSir crams into this affordable package, highlighting the controller's Hall Effect sticks and 2.4 GHz connectivity. It'd be nice if that package also included a USB-C charging cable, but still. The build quality can't stand shoulder to shoulder with Elite controllers, but for something both light in the hands and light on price, it's tough to argue against.

Scuf Instinct Pro | Steel Gray | $229.99 $189.99 (save $40 at Amazon)
It's hard to stand out in the game controller market, but the Scuf Instinct Pro manages it—and we're not just talking about the striking pink colourway Dave tested in his review. Customization is the name of the Instinct Pro's game, from snazzy faceplates to button facades, thumb stick toppers, and even the option to entirely remove rumble functionality like the pros. Anyway, after all of that, here comes the punchline: it's not rechargeable! All that sophistication and this controller only takes AA batteries. Still, it's a great unit regardless.

This one's for all you low-profile lovers out there. The Falchion RX Low Profile is a smashing little keyboard—and I do say "little" because it uses a 60% layout, although thankfully it keeps the arrow keys. The keys you do get are fantastic, though: pre-lubed and smooth as butter. The board even comes with volume controls along the top.
