Amazon has just kicked off its first major sale of the year in the form of Amazon Big Smile sale. It runs from March 16 until March 22, and promises to offer an abundance of PC gaming deals, mostly in the form of mice, keyboards, headsets and other peripherals. I've been covering big Aussie sales events for nearly a decade now, taking in Prime Day, Black Friday, EOFY sales and Boxing Day, so I know when a deal's a deal.

This live deals page will be updated regularly over the course of the week, and there's even a rolling feed at the bottom of the page. Based on previous experience I know that prices will fluctuate throughout the week, so expect updates on those movements (where they're significant enough) as well as any new top deals the Aussie team discovers. Heck, we'll even include non-Amazon deals if any decent ones pop up.

Gaming monitors

There's not much more you could want with this chonker. 44-inches of 170Hz curved screen to lose yourself into. It was down to AU$899 during Boxing Day, but this AU$998 offer is still pretty decent for what you get. The 5120 x 1440 resolution is also damn handy when you use this as a work monitor.

Alienware AW3225QF 32-inch 4K gaming monitor: was AU$1,889 now AU$1,511.20 at Amazon

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. This was AU$100 cheaper during Prime Day last year, but this is still a decent discount.

A decent discount on this big 34 inch widescreen gaming monitor with a 3440x1440p resolution. It boasts a 180Hz refresh rate for silky smooth frames, AMD FreeSync Premium, and both VESA AdaptiveSync and DisplayHDR 400. Was AU$25 cheaper during the last Prime Day, but still a good 30% off.

This lush 34.2 inch has great HDR, a brilliant widescreen QL-OLED display, and a frankly absurd 240Hz refresh rate. Not convinced? Our review goes over the pros and cons, the latter including its "relatively low pixel density".

Keyboards

ASUS ROG Falchion RX Low Profile wireless gaming keyboard
Save 22% (AU$60)
ASUS ROG Falchion RX Low Profile wireless gaming keyboard: was AU$279 now AU$219 at Amazon

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.

Asus ROG Azoth 75% wireless gaming keyboard (white)
Save 25% (AU$100)
Asus ROG Azoth 75% wireless gaming keyboard (white): was AU$399 now AU$299 at Amazon

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.

Corsair K70 RGB Pro
Save 23% (AU$57.66)
Corsair K70 RGB Pro: was AU$249 now AU$191.34 at Amazon

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. This isn't the cheapest its been, but it's still a decent going price.

8BitDo Retro 108
Save 16% (AU$37.82)
8BitDo Retro 108: was AU$229.95 now AU$192.13 at Amazon

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.

Mice

Corsair Sabre v2 Pro
Save 32% (AU$54.25)
Corsair Sabre v2 Pro: was AU$169 now AU$114.75 at Amazon

89 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 is by no means the best price we've seen on this rodent because it was down to AU$89 during Boxing Day, but it's still better an RRP.

Corsair Ironclaw RGB
Save 30% (AU$30)
Corsair Ironclaw RGB: was AU$99 now AU$69 at Amazon

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.

Corsair Scimitar Elite RGB wireless gaming mouse
Save AU$79.98
Corsair Scimitar Elite RGB wireless gaming mouse: was AU$239 now AU$159.02 at Amazon

Not an all-time low, but still a decent price for a niche piece of kit. It's aimed squarely at MMO players, but it'll come in handy to anyone who likes more complex games with lotsa commands. It has 16 programmable buttons and an impressive 150 hour battery life, with both wireless and Bluetooth connectivity (it comes packaged with a wireless dongle). You can even slide the 12 side bottoms along the right hand side of the mouse for perfect comfort.

Logitech G Pro X Superlight 2 Dex Lightspeed wireless gaming mouse
Save 33% (AU$98.95)
Logitech G Pro X Superlight 2 Dex Lightspeed wireless gaming mouse: was AU$299.95 now AU$201 at Amazon

A decent discount on this premium Logitech rodent, though not the best: it was down to AU$165 during Boxing Day sales. 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.

Headsets

JBL Quantum 100M2
Save 53% (AU$31.95)
JBL Quantum 100M2: was AU$59.95 now AU$28 at Amazon
Read moreRead less

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. It was a whole dollar cheaper during Boxing Day, if that deters you.

Razer Barracuda X wireless gaming headset
Save 27% (AU$42.95)
Razer Barracuda X wireless gaming headset: was AU$159.95 now AU$117 at Amazon

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.

Controllers

8Bitdo Ultimate C wired controller
Save 25% (AU$20)

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.

Components

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$13 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).

UGREEN USB C SD Card Reader

SD card readers in laptops are getting rarer, while a desktop PC won't have one at all most likely. Slap this wee reader in and your photos will transfer at up to 5Gbps. Ugreen has been building a great reputation lately, and it is kinda cute, too.

Eyeing a powerful—and power-hungry—new graphics card and/or CPU? Then crank up your rig with this 1000w top-brand PSU. It has modular cables to keep your insides tidy and is compliant with the latest ATX 3.1 standard.

Handhelds

ASUS ROG Xbox Ally

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.

JSAUX Docking Station for Steam Deck OLED

With Steam Deck now available in Australia, it's the time to start hunting for deals on all-important Steam Deck accessories. Among the most attractive peripherals is a dock, all the better to plug the handheld into a monitor or TV, and this one is a more entry level version of our favourite Steam Deck dock. Ports include HDMI 2.0, which supports 4K at 60Hz, a 100Mbps ethernet port, two USB-A 2.0 ports and a USB-C with charging passthrough. Probably all you'll need to start with.

This 65W power bank is perfect for getting your Steam Deck back to life when you're on the go. The 20,000 mAh capacity also makes it a good option for phones and laptops, so it's a versatile affair that you likely won't regret having around. It's light, efficient, and well worth a purchase with this discount, though it was slightly cheaper earlier this year (AU$55.99)

Also consider the 100W, 25,000mAh Iniu B63 for AU$76.49.

Asus' RT-AX59U at 53% off is a tempting way to extend your network, or replace an older router. It can work as a mesh node too, pairing with other compatible Asus routers using AiMesh tech. This router has a great reputation for reliable hassle-free performance. It's Wi-Fi 6, but that's still plenty quick for most things.

How do I become an Amazon Prime member in Australia?

Some of the best Amazon deals might be exclusive to Prime members, but you can sign up to become a Prime member via Amazon's Prime membership page. And the first 30 days are free! You'll have to create an Amazon account and provide payment card details, however. If you only want the Prime benefits for Prime Day itself or any other Amazon sale, and not as a recurring subscription, you can cancel your membership before the 30-day period ends.

When will the next Amazon sale start and end?

Amazon has just kicked off its Amazon Big Smile sale, which starts March 16 and runs until March 22.

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 the base of the sticks also have RGB. It's a wired only affair, so unless you've got a long USB extension cord, it's probably not designed for couch play. Note that while it says it's for Xbox, it also works with a Windows PC.

This isn't the best price we've seen: It was down to AU$47.96 during Prime Day in July last year, but it's still a solid deal. Note that the discount doesn't apply to the orange model, but that's OK because it looks bad anyway!
