EOFY sales 2026: Australia's next best opportunity to save on PC gaming gear is here, with Amazon entering the fray
Doing your tax is annoying, but copping a good bargain is not.
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, it's 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. Given that EOFY is something most retailers celebrate—whether it be Mwave, or Amazon, or the Razer Aussie shopfront—pretty much every PC gaming category should be covered. Except for, of course, RAM and storage.
If nothing takes your fancy, keep in mind that late July usually brings Amazon Prime Day sales, though given what Amazon stocks, that'll likely be more of a peripheral (think headsets, mice, keyboards) fest.
Without further ado:

Gamepads and controllers
If you're after a simple but durable gamepad to use at your desk, this 8Bitdo is definitely worth a look. Not only does it have drift-free hall effect analog sticks, but base of the sticks also have RGB. It's a wired only affair, so unless you've got a big cord, it's probably not designed for couch play. This isn't the best price we've seen, because it was down to AU$47.96 last year.

Our favourite budget PC controller gets a discount that brings it into impulse-buy territory. There's a lot to love at this price point: 2.4Ghz wireless connectivity, Bluetooth, a wired option via the Type-C port, and ten hours of battery life. The build quality isn't the sturdiest going around, and there's no audio jack, but this is a great piece of kit for well under AU$50.

This SCUF pad is 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 Grey and Red controllers. It's been down to AU$249 in the past, but AU$279 is still pretty good.

Headsets
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 ilast year and it held up well, though we did bemoan its "reliance on bloatware" and the lack of a wired connection. It also has a very, uh, distinctive look. Was down to AU$119 last year.

The Cloud II was a go-to if you wanted a sturdy, mid-range wired gaming headset. This wireless follow-up is decently specced for its price, with angled 53mm drivers, a detachable "ultra-clear" mic, and DTS Headphone:X Spatial Audio.

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$28 worth of chips. These aren't fancy but they do work, with a boom mic, breathable ear cushions, and a stripped-back design.

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). Was down to AU$99 last year, so not the best deal, but a deal all the same.

It's perfectly understandable if you don't want to fork out AU$450 for a gaming headset. You're not alone! But maybe this drastic reduction makes it a bit more doable. This is a pro-level headset with 50mm graphene drivers, DTS:X Headphone 2.0—7.1 Surround, Bluetooth, USB and 3.5mm connectivity, and support for PC, PS5, PS4 and Nintendo Switch.

Keyboards
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 2025 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, though black is only a couple of dollars more.

A welcome discount on this premium slab, which happens to be my day-to-day workhorse. 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.

40 percent off this tenkeyless wireless keyboard, which has a 1000Hz polling rate, ABS double-shot keycaps, and pre-lubed MLX Red v2 linear switches. We haven't tested this one, but I use the K70 RGB Pro every day and love it. This isn't the lowest we've seen this model, that being AU$130 during Boxing Day.

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. Was down to AU$179 last year.

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.

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.

If you're after a cheap-as-chips gaming keyboard and don't mind (or love!) membrane switches, this is about as close to nothing as you're going to pay for one from a reputable brand. Comes with Chroma RGB lighting, and slim low-profile keys.

Monitors
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.

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.

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.

Mice
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.

This Razer rodesnt used to be our favourite wireless gaming mouse; it's since been ursurped by the Razer Viper V4 Pro but that is also more than double this discounted price. The DeathAdder V3 Hyperspeed is comfortable, fast, accurate, and as far as gaming mice go, elegantly presented.

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.

Handheld PCs
If you're curious about this collab between Asus and Microsoft, this discount 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.

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 per fan, not that we think in terms of individuality anymore.

Corsair's RM-series has a good reputation and this 65 watter would suit a PC with up to an RTX 5060 or equivalent.

For more modest, or quieter needs, FSP's AE24 AIO could be what you're looking for. Also featuring the infinity RGB display, it's a slick unit that can be had in white (shown), or black.

This 360mm AIO CPU cooler is a real looker, with the infinity-effect RGB screen likely to mesmerise you when you should be gaming. Performance reviews are mixed, though for keeping anything but the hottest chips cool it's a decent buy at this price. Available in black or white.

At a more 'modest' 750w 80+ Gold, the FSP Vita GM still has the juice to power most rigs today. Find out what you actually need using FSP's PSU calculator so you know for sure there's the headroom you need now, and for any future upgrades.

When will EOFY sales start in 2026?
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.
Keep up to date with the most important stories and the best deals, as picked by the PC Gamer team.
