Best Prime Day peripherals deals: offers on gaming headsets, keyboards, mice, and more

A stone-cold classic at this point, the Razer BlackShark V2 X delivers a huge whack of everything you might want in a wired gaming headset for a very reasonable price. For a mere $33, you're getting 50 mm titanium drivers, a good microphone, comfy memory foam earpads, and a green cable. Yes, a green cable. Worth the price alone, if you ask me.

Key specs: 50mm drivers | 20-20,000 Hz | Closed-back | Wired

Quite literally our favourite wired gaming headset, the HyperX Cloud Alpha has reigned supreme at the top of our guide for some time now, and looks to be staying there for a while longer. It's a powerful, punchy performer with superb comfort and a refined design, and even better, it regularly turns up on discount. Tough to beat, this one.

This is a headset with a couple of party tricks up its sleeve. For a start, it's got swappable batteries, which means you can technically never run out of juice if you keep switching them up with a charged replacement. Secondly, those batteries are charged inside a separate DAC unit with multi-device functionality, so this set of cans can quickly become your primary solution for all your audio connectivity needs. Being a high-end SteelSeries unit, it also sounds great and has plenty of comfort features to shout about, too.

This is our absolute fave budget gaming keyboard right now, and even when it's not on sale it's still a great value pick. Luckily, it also happens to be at its lowest ever price. It might be dinky, but it packs Hall effect switches under some nice PBT keycaps, so you can make use of all the rapid trigger your heart desires.

Key specs: Wired | 8 KHz | Hall effect | Hot swappable

Already reasonably priced at full MSRP, this keyboard has a great aesthetic, powerful battery life, nice-feeling keys, and Super Buttons, which you can program to do simple commands. I use mine as a quick record button so I can slam my fist down after a good play and show it off to friends. They're perhaps a little less impressed by my quick record function than they are by its look.

Key specs: 2.4 GHz, Bluetooth, and wired connection | 'Super Buttons' | 200-hour battery life

Well, here it is. The tippity-top of gaming keebs, and our top pick for the best gaming keyboard overall right now—just substantially lower in price. 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.

Key specs: 96% | Wireless | Hot-swappable mechanical switches | PBT keycaps

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.

Key specs: Wireless | 12,000 DPI | Right-handed

The Turtle Beach Burst II Air may look a tad plain thanks to the lack of RGB, but it's lightweight, with a great battery life, and it's a joy to use. If you want a no-nonsense gaming mouse (and don't mind wiping off fingerprints every now and then), it's an excellent choice at 30% off.

Key specs: Wired, wireless, and Bluetooth | 47 g | Owl-Eye 26K optical sensor | 26,000 DPI | Up to 120 hours of battery life | Up to 1,000 Hz polling rate

The DeathAdder V3 Pro might be the previous-gen top dog, but it's still got plenty of chops, and for this price it's a great choice. You're getting the best Razer has to offer in its beloved DeathAdder form factor, and a sensor that's still incredibly performant today.

Key specs: 30K sensor | Wireless | 90-hour battery

$7 isn't a huge saving, but it's still the biggest discount we've seen on the pretty great 8BitDo Ultimate 2 Wireless since a few days back in May. This wireless controller looks and feels like the Nintendo Pro Controller but comes with a charging stand, Hall effect switches, TMR joysticks (bye bye, stick drift) and a few programmable buttons.

Key specs: Hall effect trigger | TMR joysticks | Wireless

Microsoft knocked it out of the park with its wireless controller. Comfortable, sturdy, satisfying to use: it has everything you want from a controller at this price point (other than Hall effect). Surprisingly, the lowest-priced Xbox Wireless controller is the one that comes with a free USB Type-C cable.

Key specs: Wireless | Asymmetric | Black | Battery powered

The Scuf Envision Pro Wireless is a pro controller in feel and look, yet only marginally more expensive than the likes of the Xbox Wireless or Sony Dualsense controller right now. A lack of Hall effect sticks is certainly a shame, but, for this price, you're getting a competitive-level pad for PC gaming at a casual price.

Key specs: Wireless and wired | Symmetrical sticks | Type-C and 3.5 mm jack | one-year warranty

What, no discount? True, but what did you expect when this little microphone is around the cost of takeout for one to begin with? The good news is, this ultra-cheap desktop condenser mic actually sounds perfectly decent, is well-built, and has made other budget microphones look a bit silly as a result, as we found in our review. An absolute bargain, even at full price.

Key specs: Cardioid | 48 kHz sample rate | 16-bit depth

The original SoloCast is a great little desktop mic, even if the new SoloCast 2 has a refreshed (and very clever) design. This one's pretty straightforward, and that's the best thing about it. No fuss, no complicated controls, just a good little microphone that tucks into most setups with ease. Cheap, too.

Key specs: Cardioid | Up to 96 kHz sample rate | 16-bit depth

This little NZXT unit is certainly a stylish customer, but it's the sound quality that blew our Reece away in his review. It's got excellent unwanted noise rejection, which in combination with the software noise cancelling means its a quiet customer in all the right ways. When it comes to your vocals, though? It's wonderfully rich from a desktop position, which is a great quality for even an expensive microphone to possess, never mind one for $60.

Key specs: Cardioid | 48 kHz sample rate | 16/24-bit depth
