EOFY sales 2025: the next best opportunity to pick up cheap PC gaming gear

Money money money.

Once upon a time in Australia there were only two times of the year when you could count on buying stuff cheap: Boxing Day, and during the End of Financial Year sales, which usually start rolling out in late May and run through to the end of June. While the likes of Black Friday and Cyber Monday have stolen a little of EOFY's lustre, they're still a very big deal—especially among smaller retailers.

Keep an eye on this page, as we'll add any other notable deals if, and when, they appear. If nothing takes your fancy, keep in mind that late July usually brings Amazon Prime Day sales.

Without further ado:

EOFY sales 2025: the best retailers to watch

EOFY deals

EOFY laptop deals

Lenovo  Legion Pro 7i 16-inch | Ultra 9 / RTX 5070 Ti / 32GB / 1TB SSD
Lenovo Legion Pro 7i 16-inch | Ultra 9 / RTX 5070 Ti / 32GB / 1TB SSD: was AU$4,999 now AU$4,099 at Lenovo AU

Save AU$900

While still quite pricey after the discount, this nifty Gen 10 machine works hard to justify it: it boasts a Nvidia RTX 5070 Ti 12GB GPU and Intel Core Ultra 9 275HX CPU, with 1TB of storage and 32GB of 6400 MT/s RAM. It'll run whatever you throw at it, in other words, while looking good to boot on the 16-inch 2560 x 1600 OLED screen with a 240Hz refresh rate.

EOFY gaming monitor deals

LG Ultragear 27GR93U-B 27 inch 4K monitor
LG Ultragear 27GR93U-B 27 inch 4K monitor: was AU$799 now AU$537 at Kogan

Save AU$262

A whopping saving off this brilliant 4K monitor, which remains the best 4K monitor according to our experts. We love its "gorgeous" IPS panel, "excellent calibration" and its silky smooth 144Hz refresh rate, though we would have loved OLED and proper HDR. This is a great discount on a superb display.

Samsung Odyssey G51C 32-inch gaming monitor
Samsung Odyssey G51C 32-inch gaming monitor: was AU$599 now AU$378 at Amazon

Save AU$221

If you're a mid-ranger who prefers 1440p with a silky frame rate, this Samsung is a workhorse. This discounted AU$378 is a great price for a 32" display, though if you're after something smaller and under AU$300, the 27" version is also discounted, down to AU$299. Both displays come with 1ms response times, 165Hz refresh rates and AMD Freesync Premium Pro.

Samsung Odyssey OLED G9 49 inch gaming monitor
Samsung Odyssey OLED G9 49 inch gaming monitor: was AU$2,299 now AU$1,699 at Mwave

Save AU$600

It may be difficult to stifle a laugh at how ridiculous this thing is to look at, but those concerns will likely fade away once you're gaming in front of this beast. It pulls out all stops, with a 240Hz refresh rate with a 0.03ms response time, which is going to verge noticeable on this ultrawide DQHD display. Look: it still ain't cheap, but if you want this much screen real estate and don't want to compromise on quality, now may be the time to bite on this.

EOFY gaming mouse deals

Razer DeathAdder V3 HyperSpeed
Razer DeathAdder V3 HyperSpeed: was AU$169 now AU$143.68 at Amazon

Save AU$25.32

I wouldn't normally bother with a mere 15% discount during EOFY sales, but this is our favourite wireless gaming mouse, and it's not often on sale, so I'll make an exception. It's comfortable, fast, accurate, and as far as gaming mice go, elegantly presented.

SteelSeries Aerox 3 Wireless gaming mouse
SteelSeries Aerox 3 Wireless gaming mouse: was AU$229 now AU$124.28 at Amazon

Save AU$104.72

Let's face it: this thing looks kinda gross. Or... elite? It sure does have RGB emanating from the inside. Don't let my hang-ups get you down, though: our review was quite positive, praising its light weight, responsiveness and robust wireless connectivity. This was down to AU$116 earlier in the week, but this slightly higher price is still good considering the RRP.

Logitech G Pro X Superlight 2 Dex Lightspeed wireless gaming mouse
Logitech G Pro X Superlight 2 Dex Lightspeed wireless gaming mouse: was AU$299.95 now AU$183.40 at Amazon

Save AU$116.55

A big chunk of cash off the RRP of this premium Logitech rodent, which boasts five programmable buttons and an astonishing 95 hours battery life on a single charge. Boasts a 32K DPI sensor and up to 8 kHz polling. Also available in Black for AU$195.

EOFY gaming headset deals

Corsair HS60 Haptic gaming headset
Corsair HS60 Haptic gaming headset: was AU$189 now AU$109.50 at Amazon

Save AU$79.50

This was down to AU$73 last week, but this slighter 40% discount is still worth consideration. When you can't get enough bass, the next step is, of course, haptic bass. In other words, you're really going to feel these on your dome, and if you don't trust me, perhaps our review from 2020 will convince you. Of course, bass lovers need only apply, but if this is you, we also love the build quality of these cans, and the sound is pretty damn good as well.

Corsair HS80 Max Wireless Gaming Headset
Corsair HS80 Max Wireless Gaming Headset: was AU$279 now AU$199 at Amazon

Save AU$80

This discount doesn't compare amazingly to the AU$150 offer during last year's Black Friday, but it's still a generous 29% off. The Corsair HS80 Max Wireless Gaming Headset offers low-latency 2.4Ghz wireless audio and Bluetooth connectivity, along with high-fidelity 24bit/96kHz sound and support for Dolby Atmos Spatial Audio. Now discounted by 46% in Steel Grey and White.

HyperX Cloud Alpha wireless
HyperX Cloud Alpha wireless: was AU$299 now AU$239 at Amazon

Save AU$60

This was down to AU$210 during Black Friday, so not an all-time low here, but a good price nevertheless. These cans boast a frankly-unbelievable (but true) 300 hours of battery life, DTS Headphone:X Spatial Audio, and the Cloud series' now iconic tough-as-guts aluminum frame. Make note this is a deskbound headset: it uses 2.4Ghz wireless connectivity, but has no Bluetooth for on-the-go listening.

HyperX Cloud Alpha (wired)
HyperX Cloud Alpha (wired): was AU$119 now AU$159 at HP Store

Save AU$40

A cheerful discount on our favourite gaming headset (not to be confused with the wireless version above, which is pricier). It's got everything you want: comfort, brilliant audio, and a good mic, and even at RRP it's not going to break the bank. For AU$119 with free shipping, it's a no-brainer if you're after a new wired set of cans.

Beyerdynamic MMX 330 Pro
Beyerdynamic MMX 330 Pro: was AU$499 now AU$429 at Mwave

Save AU$70

If you're after a pair of open back, audiophile-quality headphones for PC, you simply cannot go wrong with these Beyerdynamics: they're our favourite wired audiophile PC gaming headset. The open back design provides a wide and airy soundstage that prizes accuracy and immersive over thumping bass. They're properly comfy too.

EOFY gaming keyboard deals

Corsair K70 RGB Pro
Corsair K70 RGB Pro: was AU$249 now AU$199 at Amazon

Save AU$50

A welcome discount on this premium slab, which was down to AU$160 but is still worth consideration at AU$199. 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.

Asus ROG Strix Scope II 96 Wireless
Asus ROG Strix Scope II 96 Wireless: was AU$299 now AU$219 at Amazon

Save AU$80

A mild but welcome 27% off this brilliant gaming keyboard, which won our Editor's Pick badge and a 93 / 100 score back in 2023. It boasts brilliant switch feel, effective sound dampening, a cleverly modular multimedia wheel, and an extremely robust build. It ain't cheap even on sale, and it's been as low as AU$199 in the past, but this is still a nice discount.

Early EOFY gaming chair deals

ErgoTune Supreme
ErgoTune Supreme: was AU$799 now AU$649 at au.ergotune.com

Save AU$150

While this ergonomic chair isn't really marketed as a gaming chair, I use one for gaming and have done so for years. I even reviewed it back in 2023. It doesn't leave a great first impression, but the initial discomfort gives way to better posture.

When will EOFY sales start in 2025?

Logic would suggest that the sales should begin at the end of the financial year, but if there's one thing we've learned about sales events over the years, it's that logic is a precious and rare commodity! So you can expect Australia's EOFY sales to kick off in the weeks before June 30 (the official "last day" of the financial year) and then keep running for most of July.

Compared to the likes of Amazon Prime Day and Black Friday, the EOFY sales period is amorphous: it kinda just runs for as long as every individual retailer wants, and that can often be upwards of a month. So yes, it's probably worth waiting until June, at the very earliest, to make any non-essential purchases.

Are EOFY sales good for PC gaming products?

Actually, yes! Chiefly because the likes of Mwave get involved, so there's every chance you'll find a good discount on big ticket items like gaming monitors or gaming laptops. But you can also expect to pick up some great deals on keyboards, mice, and headsets from the likes of Amazon, eBay and more.

In many ways, EOFY (and Black Friday) are the best times to pick up PC gaming gear—more so than Prime Day for example. It's because a range of specialist merchants get involved, ranging the aforementioned Mwave, through to PC brands themselves, including Lenovo, HP and Dell.
