Amazon tends to hold a handful of major sales events every year, and the first of 2026 was the Amazon Big Smile sale, which ran from March 16 until March 22. That's over now, but I've dumped a bunch of deals that are still live as of Monday morning, March 23.
And why listen to our recommendations? We test products year-round—with the exception of a few public holidays, our team of hardware experts has to chill at some point—and these sales events are an opportunity for us to help you save some cash on the products we already recommend. We actually do the testing, and you can find page after page of reviews right here.
Here's what remains:

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.

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
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.

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.

An absolutely massive saving on this tenkeyless BlackWidow. This model boasts Razer's dazzling Chroma RGB, some nice 'n' discreet media keys, and orange tactile switches. It has a robust build quality and, most importantly, won't take up a whole lot of space on your desk.

Mice
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.

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.

Headsets
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 for AU$139 in pink.

Gamepads
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 from a pro controller, without being priced like a pro controller.

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.

Here's the nowadays expected discount price on the Xbox controller. Pretty much every sales event sees Microsoft's gamepad hit this price, though it'll depend which colour you're after—you can browse on the shop page. While the quality of third-party controllers makes this gamepad slightly less appealing than it used to be, it's still a dependable and comfortable piece of kit. Only black is discounted at present.

Components
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
If you're curious about this collab between Asus and Microsoft, 13% 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.

Networking
Still using Wi-Fi 6? Forget that. Prices are finally coming down for decent Wi-Fi 7 routers and the Asus RT-BE86U is cheaper than its ever been right now. Get onboard with faster downloads and snappier surfing, and be ready to roll as you add new Wi-Fi 7 devices to your network.

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's last big sale was Amazon Big Smile sale, which ran between March 16 and March 22. For now, no new sales have been confirmed, but the retailer's biggest yearly sale, Amazon Prime Day, is expected to happen in July 2026.
