It's Cyber Monday. Everyone rejoice, because as well as being the perfect celebration of all that is good about consumerism (that's a positive, right?) it's also a really good time to get that Christmas shopping done that you've been putting off starting.
So, I've taken it upon myself to cater to a more discerning, more value-oriented crowd, with the best Cyber Monday deals for well under $100 a pop. The good news is that I've already found a ton of them, and there are some genuinely great bits of tech in there, too.
I admit, you might find it tough to fit a gaming monitor into a stocking, but there's a 100 Hz panel just waiting for a long sock big enough...

Stocking filler deals
Live
Rather than shelling out on an Xbox or DualSense controller that'll set you back a big chunk of change, don't forget there are other options. Just because a controller isn't officially branded, doesn't mean it's going to be garbage. Both of the gamepads below are still decent no-frills options, with rumble, stick drift resistance, and bluetooth connectivity—perfect if you know someone who's on the lookout for a multi-purpose controller, or even if you need one yourself.
The best PC gaming controller is at the lowest price I've ever seen it
I posted some cheap yet reliable controllers below, but if you want the real deal, my favorite PC gaming controller is currently at the lowest price I've ever seen it. You can get this Xbox Wireless Gaming Controller for $39.99, down from $64.99, which makes for a hefty price slash of 38%. If, like me, you're someone who periodically buys controllers when your old one goes kaput, you'll know this is a decent price.
If you're looking for a cheap gaming keyboard that's still high performance and quality, you could do a lot worse than Gamakay's x NaughShark NS68. Along with its extremely pretty keycaps, you'll be getting a nice unique-feeling gaming peripheral without the hefty price tag.
Foul Tarnished, would you give this Living Jar a home?🥺
I'd honestly be ecstatic if someone bought me this Living Jar figurine from Elden Ring (*nudge nudge* if anyone I know is reading this). What FromSoftware fan wouldn't want to find a little Jar Bairn in their stocking? It even glows five different colours, though you do have to glue on its arms yourself—apparently this jar got in a fight before being shipped to you.
Praise the Emperor with these discounted Warhammer 40k figurines⚔️
Most of us have at least one Warhammer sicko in our lives, and if you don't, well, it's probably you. If you're searching for the perfect little gift for a 40k-obsessed friend, Walmart has a whole range of discounted Warhammer figurines currently, including some properly cool-looking ones. I particularly like the Ragnar Blackmane figurine in the image above, but there's also a very cool World Eater Lord Invocatus riding a Skullcrusher—red is the Christmas colour after all.
Nothing shows an FPS player you care more than buying them a better mouse. If you know someone in need of a new one, or you're looking to upgrade, either of these discounted models would be the perfect gift. The G305 is ideal if you're looking for something a little sleek and simpler, while the Model O Eternal is a bit fancier with its honeycomb RGB lighting.
We're going to need a bigger stocking💀
Alright, this one does stretch the definition of 'stocking stuffer' somewhat, but I can't help it: Catan, one of the most popular boardgames ever, has a massive discount at the moment. Usually, it'd set you back $54.99, but currently it costs $29.99, with a hefty 45% off. As someone who purchased Catan not so long ago, I can confirm this is a decent price.
If you haven't played Catan before, there's a reason it's remained popular for so long and has sold millions of copies. It's both easy to play and teach, as you compete to settle the island of Catan and battle it out with others for supremacy as you establish your settlements. It might not fit in a stocking, but hey, maybe you can hide it in their sock drawer or something?
A whole monitor for $70, and it's not a piece of crap
I like cheap stuff, and this MSI monitor for $69.99 is very cheap indeed. At 24 inches it's not huge, nor is it 4K, but—and this is the important part—it is 70 bucks. For that you get a 100hz refresh rate (not bad), 4ms GTG response time (not bad), built-in speakers (maybe they're bad, I don't know, but who cares, you're probably not going to use them anyway), and an IPS panel (which is good!). It's not a huge discount but, as I've said previously it's 70 dollars—that's a whole-ass monitor for literally the same price as Call of Duty: Black Ops 7. I don't know about you, but I know which one I'd rather spend my money on.
Monitor arms: The best thing to happen to PC displays since the invention of VGA
Every year when Black Friday rolls around I say, "Get monitor arms! Get monitor arms!" Does anyone listen? I don't know. But this year PC Gamer hardware writer Nick Evanson is saying it too, and he's a guy who actually knows something. So maybe you'll listen to him, about the Huanuo HNDS6:
"Thanks to a wide and beefy bottom clamp, along with two thick spars with gas struts, the HNDS6 can handle up to two 32-inch monitors, with weights of 19.8 lbs or less. Unless you've got an enormous ultrawide screen, it should cope with almost anything you have.
"Each arm can reach a maximum height of 16.2 inches, as measured at the center of the VESA mount, with an extension range of up to 11 inches. The latter will reduce as you fit larger and larger screens, though, and with a twin set of 32-inch monitors, you'll only get around 5 inches of extension. That might not sound very big, but when you consider that this still gives the freedom to adjust the position, tilt, and rotation with ease, it's an acceptable compromise."
I'd say that's especially the case given the current $55 Black Friday price at Amazon. I can also tell you this: I may not be a hardware pro like Nick, but I've been using monitor arms (Huanuo, no less) for a few years now, and I'll never go back.
The Logitech G440 is one of our faves, and right now it's just $15
So you need a good mousepad, but you don't want something that's three feet wide and looks like a Swedish death metal album cover. Allow me to introduce the Logitech G440, PC Gamer's pick for best budget hard-top mouse pad for gaming. And if you don't trust them, trust me: I've had one for a good while now (I honestly can't remember how long), parked under a G502 mouse, and it's fantastic: It's slick, durable, and the hard top is easy to wipe clean if you're the sort of person who just refuses to learn the lesson that you shouldn't eat in front of your PC. (Not that I'm speaking from experience or anything.) $15.18 at Amazon, 24% off the regular price.
I am once again telling you to just buy this controller
You've probably seen the viral review about that Brother laser printer that you should just go buy if you need a printer. The Logitech F310 is pretty much the controller equivalent: It doesn't look like much, it works fine, and it'll probably outlast your current gaming PC and the one you buy to replace it. Yeah, I've recommended this thing before, including on Black Friday just a few days ago, so maybe I'm being lazy here. But look, it's a perfectly good, well-built controller that you can pick up for $15 from Amazon. Need a controller, don't want to put any effort into it? I feel you, buddy. Get this one.
The Witcher books: They'll look great on your shelf and you might enjoy reading them, too
It's going to be sometime in 2027 at the absolute soonest before we see The Witcher 4, which means you've got some time to kill. Ever give thought to trying the "reading" thing? Because Andrzej Sapkowski's The Witcher Boxed Set, a collection of all five novels that make up The Witcher saga—and I'm talking actual printed-on-paper stuff here, not the digital ephemera that passes for "books" these days—is down to just $33.79 on Amazon, 62% off the regular price. Note that this set does not include The Last Wish or Sword of Destiny short story collections that preceded the novels, but it's still a big load o' Geralt on the cheap—and if you really want that part of the tale, you can pick those up in a separate Witcher Stories Boxed Set for $22.87, a less impressive (but still cool) 389% off the list price.
The best PC building kit in town
PC Gamer hardware managing editor Jacob Ridley says the iFixit Pro Tech Toolkit is "the best PC building toolkit in town," and if it's good enough for him, it's good enough for you. (Because it's objectively that good, I mean.) It's also 20% off for Cyber Monday, cutting it to $59.96 on Amazon: That gets you a 64-piece precision bit driver set, tweezers, flex extension, opening tools, and anti-static wristband, all wrapped up in a magnetic case with foam insert that keeps stuff from floating around. There's also a lifetime warranty: You break it, they replace it.
