Amazon Mid-Year Sale PC gaming deals in Australia: save on keyboards, mice, headsets, handheld PCs and much more
Tracking all the bargains live.
Every year Amazon runs its Mid-Year Sale to coincide with Australia's end of financial year sale events, and 2026 is no exception. Running from Monday, June 1 until Sunday, June 7, the giant global online retailer will be doling out cheap PC accessories and components, the highlights among which I've gathered below.
From now until Sunday I'll be keeping a close eye on Amazon's PC gaming gear for any new and worthy deals. I'll generally stay focused on stuff that PC Gamer can recommend, but I'll also include gear that we haven't if the discounted price seems remarkable enough.
The Mid-Year Sale isn't an Amazon Prime exclusive event by any means, but that doesn't rule out the chance that some deals will be exclusive to subscribers. If you're not a subscriber, you can sign-up for a free trial.
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.

A tidy saving on this brilliant PC gamepad (which also works with Xbox consoles, albeit only wired). It features an astonishing 1000 Hz polling rate for higher precision, TMR analog sticks, face button microswitches, Hall Effect triggers, paddle buttons, 2.4 Ghz wireless and Bluetooth: it basically has everything you want form a pro controller, without being priced like a pro controller.

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.

This beauty used to be our favourite drift-free hall effect gamepad before it was dethroned by the Razer Wolverine V3 Pro, so if you're in the market for one, this is a decent price. I still love this controller and use it daily, especially due to its super-tactile microswitches. The onboard display is more useful than you'd think, and while the RGB is a little superfluous, it feels extremely good in the hands. Read my 90 / 100 review if you're unconvinced.

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.

Monitors
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".

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.

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.

PC gaming handhelds
A decent discount on this competent, gorgeous and comfortable handheld gaming PC, though it's been as low as AU$899 before. It boasts good performance, a great 8-inch screen, and a 144Hz refresh rate, though we criticised its "poor performance compared to current-gen handhelds". Still, if you're after something like this and want hardware a bit more advanced than the Steam Deck OLED, it's well worth consideration.

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$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.

The fan, the myth, the legend. A bit of Noctua brown in your case is more than just cache, it means you're serious about your cooling. The NF-F12 isn't your standard PC case fan, it's a properly heavy duty industrial-quality unit designed for high static pressure and outstanding cooling performance, so, it's just the thing for a hardcore gaming PC.

Thank you, sir
The Gamesir G7 Pro is back on sale for AU$135, which is pretty much as low as it ever gets. That might seem pricey compared to, say, the Xbox controller (which RRPs for AU$89), but the G7 Pro is a brilliant pro controller that can hold its own against the likes of the Xbox Pro Controller, or any equivalent made by any other brand.
I reviewed it myself back in September, and 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.
A tidy saving on this brilliant PC gamepad (which also works with Xbox consoles, albeit only wired). It features an astonishing 1000 Hz polling rate for higher precision, TMR analog sticks, face button microswitches, Hall Effect triggers, paddle buttons, 2.4 Ghz wireless and Bluetooth: it basically has everything you want form a pro controller, without being priced like a pro controller.

Totally wired
Though it released seven years ago, the HyperX Cloud Alpha is still the best wired gaming headset according to PC Gamer's experts. Perhaps that's no surprise: although there's a lot of competition in this field, most tend to vie for the wireless market nowadays.
This headset is comfy, has great audio, and is pretty damn affordable even at its usual street price, which tends to hover around the AU$150 mark. Right now, Amazon is offering it for AU$78.45, which is a sterling discount on a robust piece of kit.
That ships from Amazon UK and will arrive by June 12, unless you opt for faster shipping.
In the words of our review: "Despite the narrowing of the gap between this and the chasing pack, and despite Steelseries’ increasing dominance in the wireless headset market, for a cabled headset under $100, this should still be your first consideration."
