Welcome to the third and arguably hugest Amazon sale of 2026. This year, Amazon Prime Day will run from July 7 through July 13 in Australia, again calling into question the retail behemoth's grasp on the English language.
As always I'll be keeping track of Amazon's PC gaming deals from now until the event finishes at 11:59pm on Monday evening. The majority of the gear I draw attention to will be stuff PC Gamer has reviewed well—drawn from our lists of the best latest graphics cards, the best gaming laptops and the most desk-worthy gaming keyboards, to name a few examples—but if there's other gear that's significantly discounted, and it's not notoriously terrible, I'll stick that in here too.
Prime Day is a good opportunity to load up on stuff you need. Amazon Australia isn't especially great where components are concerned, and the memory catastrophe currently unfolding globally means we're hugely unlikely to see discounts on RAM. But as you'll see below, there's a huge range of peripherals, monitors and components on sale. Also, with tax season in the rearview mirror, you may have some extra cash to splurge on, say, a AU$200 keyboard, rather than a AU$100 one.

AU$25 for a Corsair headset. That's the headline
What more is there to say? If you're extremely unfussy and just need a set of headphones for online comms while blasting foes in Vermintide 2 or whatever, the Corsair HS35 V2 is shot at next-to-nothing.
It has a "high-quality" (you know it's high quality when the maker calls 'em that) omni-directional mic, and it even has onboard muting and volume controls.
Again, one for the unfussy I'd say. Or if you have kids who are still learning to take care of their belongings, this could do the trick. They're AU$25 a pop.
What are people buying in categories other than gaming and computers?
Pretty much what you'd expect. This hydrating overnight hydrogel mask is number one in beauty. People continue to unaccountably buy Crocs. This robovac is popular, and, well, look: AU$14 for a 12-pack of Viva paper towels is actually kind of a steal?
Closer to home, the bestsellers in the computers category speaks to humanity's undying need of USB-C to USB-C cables.
Rat king
The Logitech G502X Plus is almost hilariously expensive. This thing has an RRP of AU$299.95, which is 12 pub meals, more than 50 loaves of premium supermarket bread, and 42 Sabco professional dustpan and brush sets (not including shipping).
It's a premium mouse: it has fancy RGB, it's wireless, a 25,600dpi sensor, and a 1,000Hz polling rate. Significantly, it has Powerplay compatibility, which means you can charge the mouse while you're using it with certain fancy mouse mats. Not that charging it will be regularly on your mind: Logitech records it has a 12 month battery life.
If you want it, now's the time to bite: Amazon has it for AU$141.43, which is 53% off the RRP.
Sane in the Membrane
I reckon AU$50 for a gaming keyboard from a reputable brand is worth writing about. The Corsair K55 Core RGB isn't usually very pricey at AU$79, but it's currently down to AU$52.25 on Amazon for Prime Day.
This is a wired membrane keyboard. It's really worth dwelling on that "membrane" part if you aren't familiar with the concept. Basically, this is very much not a mechanical keyboard. Instead of clicky mechanical switches they use a rubber dome, which means their sound is soft-verging-non-existent. Detractors of membrane keyboards—and I have to admit, I'm one of those—criticise their "mushiness".
PC Gamer's favourite membrane keyboard is the Roccat Magma Mini, but it's currently pretty hard to find in Australia. You could sniff that out if you love or think you'll love membrane, but AU$50 for the Corsair is hard to deny.
If browsing Amazon makes your head spin due to the ubiquity of 'knock off' brands, there's a new Chrome extension for that.
As James Bentley wrote earlier today, "the [knockoff.shopping] extension is a curated list of more than 5,000 brands, which are refreshed daily, with real brands being whitelisted and very new or potentially dodgy brands being flagged."
It is increasingly difficult to search for a gaming mouse, or keyboard, on Amazon without the results being awash in no name brands and unwanted sponsored items. If that annoys you—and it does me—this should help.
Kill switch
The Corsair Vanguard Pro 96 is a very expensive keyboard with Hall Effect switches. It also has a screen, which is something peripheral makers love to add to otherwise screen-less devices. That LCD display lets you customise and switch between profiles, and it can also display "custom animations" which is really asking for trouble.
Hall Effect switches aren't mechanical, by the way, and thus don't have the tactile clackiness that draw some people to mechanical slabs. But they are a whole lot faster. Most mortals don't need a keyboard with a 8,000Hz polling rate, but if you play a lot of competitive FPSs then you may well see the appeal.
Our 85 / 100 review is worth reading before you take the plunge. "This is genuinely one of the best Hall effect keyboards out there if you want a full-size layout with lots of nice touches, plus some versatile software and responsive switches," Reece Bithrey wrote.
If you do want one, Amazon is currently flogging them for AU$199, which is 43% off the usual AU$349 RRP. Still expensive, but maybe that generous cut will make it a feasible purchase.
Blowing in the wind
Yes, cleaning is a tiresome chore, and double-yes, the exception to that rule is cleaning your PC. Why? Because your PC is your friend, you are proud of your PC and want it to be beautiful, and perhaps to a lesser degree, if you don't keep certain parts of your PC clean it could die.
So, let's make cleaning fun, together, today. Pro Tip: it's easy and fun. Use an electric air duster and you'll soon be searching the house for other things to blow, it's that nice.
Canned compressed air is yesterday's technology. It runs out, see. Electric dusters is where it's at. They're rechargeable adjustable, and come with nozzles and diffusers for specific jobs.
I found an especially nice one while bargain hunting this morning. It's a more premium model, but it's also down from AU$149.99 to AU$89.99 for this sale.
The motor spins at 300,000 RPM. You read that right. That's twice what most other can do, and it comes with a bevy of attachments, including a brush for detail work, which is also great for making your keyboard as-new again.
A Sound Purchase
When Alex Blake reviewed this absolutely premium(ly priced) set of cans back in 2023, the score wasn't through the roof. In the 72 / 100 review, the Logitech Pro X 2 Lightspeed was deemed "a pricey, comfy headset that can’t quite make the leap from good to great".
Which is rather unfortunate given the AU$449.95 asking price. Never fear, though, because if you really want a set Amazon is currently selling them for AU$216.60 as part of its Prime Day sale.
Let's go over the pros and cons. Our review appreciated its excellent battery life, "decent" audio and comfort, while criticising its price, the bass-forward audio experience, and the "unspectacular" mic. With the price no longer such an obstacle, that leaves only two major sticking points.
If I was to make a strong argument in favour of this headset it's that its Bluetooth connectivity, paired with its modest non-gamer design, means it can double as an everyday commuting pair of headphones too. If you've been eyeing off a pair, now's a better time than ever to bite.
Crossing the line in style
To the surprise of many, myself very much included, case, cooling and components company Thermaltake got into the sim racing business, with new gear shown off at last year's Computex show.
I like the GR500 cockpit for its mid-range balance. It's built primarily from steel tubing, which means rigidity and ease of construction. The adjustability is good and the seat itself is comfortable and looks extremely sporty.
It's on sale now at 23% off, sitting at AU$999 right now. With the addition of optional joystick and throttle brackets it'll also do double-duty as a flight sim rig.
Note this is for just the cockpit and seat, wheel, pedals, monitor, talent etc are all extra.
You can have yours in white: black appears to be sold out. Stocks be limited though, so shake'n'bake!
MAGsimum gaming
I was really surprised to find the MSI MAG 244F going for a mere AU$132. It was already cheap at its usual AU$183 price...
It's a sweet-spot 24-inch 1920 x 1080 screen with a quality IPS panel that'll run at 200Hz and a 0.5ms response time.
That's going to pair very well with any budget to mid-range gaming PC, or for faster boxes it'll let you own in ultra detail and ultra FPS.
Sweetness and Light
Look, I personally like a heavy mouse. But if you're the opposite—and I think it really depends on the kind of games you normally play—the Corsair Sabre V2 Pro is the best lightweight gaming mouse on the market. Our experts have declared it.
The reasons are manifold: It's incredibly light (of course) at 36 grams, it doesn't come weighed down with any annoying software, the sensor is great, and it feels tough in the hand.
If that sounds like your thing, Amazon has cut just under 50% off the RRP, bringing this AU$169 mouse down to AU$89. Don't tread lightly.
Drive Time
This Logitech racing rig packs in a steering wheel controller and a tri-pedal unit. Jacob Ridley reviewed it positively back in 2021: "From the brake pedal to the force feedback motors, the Logitech G923 racing wheel delivers at a grade that is hard to match at this price tag," he wrote. "Through and through, it delivers an experience that is at least comparable with pricier, more modular sets."
Normally this package sets you back AU$649.95 in Australia, though the street price is usually closer to around AU$450. Right now as part of Prime Day, Amazon is flogging them for AU$390 a pop.
If you play a lot of F1, Assetto Corsa, Forza, Dirt, Euro / American Truck Sim, and so on and so forth, this will obviously add a lot more authenticity to the experience. As Jacob notes above it is entry level, and real sim heads spend multiple thousands on their rigs, but if you determined to be less of a sicko about it: this is what you want.
No Name Wonder
You may never have heard of KTC, but the Chinese monitor company has issued at least one really good display. The KTC H27T22C-3 (you've got to love monitor naming conventions) is officially our favourite budget 1440p gaming monitor.
And for its RRP of AU$290 you are getting a lot: a 210Hz refresh rate and 1 ms response time. An IPS panel with adaptive sync. You don't get USB-C connectivity, but you do get DisplayPort and HDMI.
It's a budget affair, after all. I'll defer to the wisdom of Jeremy Laird in his 2025 review. "The fear with a low cost monitor from a less familiar brand is that it might suffer from some or other really obvious flaw. Maybe the calibration is a mess, the overdrive doesn't work or the backlight is horribly dim. But none of that applies here. This isn't a perfect display, but it is pretty nice by any reasonable metric. And in the context of the price, it's pretty darn brilliant."
It's currently AU$216.50 on Amazon as part of Prime Day, making this budget monitor even... budgeter.
This Feels Risky
This 8BitDo mechanical keyboard is "inspired by the classics". Interestingly, they do not specify which classic. I can't figure out why.
I mean: I feel like muttering Mario within a square kilometre of this slab would alert Nintendo's litigation henchmen. Or maybe I've got this wrong, and it's inspired by something else. I don't know.
Leaving aside those matters, I do like the look of this 8BitDo Retro 108. Despite doling out novelty gear, the brand is actually great at making PC gaming peripherals, especially gamepads. They don't feature in our list of the best gaming keyboards, but it's a very competitive market, and one thing our faves do lack is an aesthetic resemblance to a 1980s home console.
The street price on this keyboard is usually around AU$199. Amazon has it for AU$159.95 delivered.
Screen dreams
The market for gamepads is amazing right now, and extremely geared in favour of the consumer. A couple of years ago I considered this Turtle Beach Stealth Ultra controller my personal favourite. It's a premium "pro" controller with pretty much everything you'd expect from one of those—back buttons, trigger stops, Hall Effect sticks and tactile microswitches—and more.
That "more" is its screen. If you're averse to ever using software it's a big boon for switching between on-board profiles, and you can even get Discord notifs on it if you want (I prefer to be left alone, but that's just me). But my favourite thing about it—and this is admittedly small—is how easy it makes switching between wireless and Bluetooth functionality. I use both a desktop PC and Steam Deck, so that matters. What can sometimes be fiddly on other controllers just works here, thanks to the screen.
The Turtle Beach Stealth Ultra isn't on our list of the best gaming controllers anymore, and it's not my personal fave anymore: that goes to the Gamesir G7 Pro Tri-Mode. But if you want one —and my review may prove convincing—they're currently going for AU$182.51 during Amazon Prime Big Deal Days, down from AU$329.95.
Supersize me
I reckon this Alienware's size and res is the sweet spot right now. Yes yes, I know the 2025 Steam Survey says otherwise, at least in terms of what most of you are currently running. But I also know that a monitor is a big investment that people tend to hang onto for many years.
So hang on to this. For dear life (sorry). The Alienware AW3425DWM is a 34-inch 3440 x 1440 curved screen with a 180Hz refresh. That's a lot of visual real estate, at a res that any decent graphics card can handle no worries.
It's 31% off its usual price of AU$749, going for AU$524.30 in this deal.
Our chums over at TechRadar rate it very highly indeed.
The more recent model, which boasts a 240Hz refresh rate and other perks, is going for AU$1,049.40, down from AU$1,499.
Questmaster
For the VR curious, I thought I'd draw attention to Prime Day's inevitable Meta Quest 3S deal. Amazon doesn't actually have a load of stock of these, or at least, it only has the 256GB model at present. It's going for 20% off, bringing its AU$729 RRP down to AU$580.99.
I'm always kinda surprised by how popular Meta Quest deals are whenever I do deals coverage for PC Gamer. Not because they aren't good devices—we review them well—but it's sometimes easy to forget that VR does have mainstream appeal beyond gamers and tech-enthusiasts.
Thank you, sir
During the past year or so, the GameSir G7 Pro wireless controller has received a handful of discounts, each only dipping as low as AU$135 (from its AU$159 RRP). But during Amazon Prime Day, GameSir has dared drop that discount even further: you can grab one now for AU$127.
It's not a massive improvement. But it is an improvement.
I reviewed this gamepad last year and it's among my faves on the market. You can read the full thing here, but the short of it is this: clicky microswitches, drift-free TMR sticks, Hall Effect triggers (yep, there are trigger stops) and paddle buttons that you can effectively toggle off and on. And those are just a few of the brilliant features.
Good morning! Consider this a "test", I guess. From now until early next week I'll be live blogging the best Amazon Prime Day PC gaming deals here. Hold tight for more.
