Amazon’s latest Gaming Week promotion is offering discounts on some of our favorite gaming accessories through May 5, with some items on sale for their lowest prices ever. Hundreds of products are on sale, including gaming monitors, keyboards, headsets, and more, but if you’d like to see an abbreviated breakdown of what we’d spend our money on, check out the list below.

Best Gaming Monitor Deals

Samsung Odyssey OLED G9

If you’re in the market for a massive OLED monitor, look no further than the Samsung Odyssey G9. This 49-inch OLED monitor is currently discounted to just $999.99 at Amazon when you clip the on-page coupon (was $1,599.99). The 49-inch curved panel of the G9 supports a maximum resolution of 5120 x 1440 and a 240 Hz refresh rate complemented by AMD FreeSync to reduce screen tearing.

Samsung M80C

A recent addition to our list of cozy gaming accessories, the Samsung M80C offers a clean, minimalist aesthetic with plenty of features. Usually $649.99, this 27-inch 4K monitor is currently discounted to just $449.99 at Amazon. The M80C is equipped with a built-in camera and can access a variety of streaming services thanks to its integrated Wi-Fi. The M80C can connect with devices using a micro HDMI or USB-C, but it can also access cloud-gaming services like GeForce Now and Xbox Game Pass, allowing you to play games without hooking anything up to an external console or PC.

Best Gaming Keyboard Deals

Razer BlackWidow V4

The latest iteration of the Razer Blackwidow gaming keyboard, the Blackwidow V4, is currently discounted to $139.99 at Amazon (was $169.99). This keyboard is equipped with Razer’s proprietary linear yellow switches, features an 8000 Hz polling rate, comes with a detachable USB-C cable, and naturally, has plenty of RGB lighting.

Asus ROG Azoth

The Asus ROG Azoth is normally priced at $249.99, but is on sale for just $199.99 right now. This wireless 75% keyboard offers a fantastic experience out of the box with sound-dampening, lubed switches, and an LCD screen built into the corner. And the switches and keycaps on the Azoth can be swapped out if you’d prefer to make your keyboard a little more bespoke.

Best Gaming Controller Deals

Xbox Elite Series 2 Controller

Many still consider the Xbox Elite Series 2 controller to be the gold standard for customizable controllers. Usually available for $179.99, this wireless controller is currently discounted to just $149.99. The Elite Series 2 can be paired with a variety of devices via Bluetooth, and virtually every aspect of the controller can be fine-tuned for an optimal gaming experience. Adjust thumbstick resistance, change trigger travel distance, or remap the controller entirely via the controller app on PC.

Best Microphone Deals

HyperX Quadcast S

An excellent standalone mic, the HyperX Quadcast S is on sale for its lowest price ever. The $159.99 condenser microphone is discounted to $117.46 at Amazon, and is an excellent choice for streaming or just audio recording in general. In addition to its built-in RGB lighting, the Quadcast S features four adjustable pickup patterns to ensure the best possible audio quality. The mic comes packaged with its own stand, and it also includes adapters to 3/8-inch and 5/8-inch threads so it can be fitted to virtually any mic stand or boom arm.

Best Gaming Headset Deals

Sony Inzone H9 Headset

Sony’s flagship gaming headset for PlayStation, the Inzone H9, is currently discounted to $228 at Amazon (was $299.99). The H9 is a comfortable wireless headset equipped with spatial audio and noise-canceling technology that can operate for up to 32 hours on a single charge. While the built-in boom mic isn’t likely to replace anyone’s standalone condenser mic, the flip-to-mute feature is still an excellent option for in-game chat.

Sony Inzone H5 Headset

The Sony Inzone H5 gaming headset is a more modestly priced version of the H9 that retains many of the same features. Typically $149.99, Amazon has discounted this wireless gaming headset to $128. The H5 has a slightly smaller battery than the H9 and lacks the noise-cancellation capabilities of its more expensive sibling, but it remains an excellent option for anyone looking for a comfortable gaming headset equipped with 40mm drivers and spatial audio.

Sony Inzone Buds

Our favorite gaming earbuds, the Sony Inzone Buds, are on sale for their lowest price ever at multiple retailers. Originally $199.99, the Inzone Buds are discounted to $178 right now at Amazon, and $180 from either Best Buy or Sony. Equipped with the same drivers and noise-canceling tech found in the Sony WF-1000XM5 earbuds, the Inzone Buds can be used with PlayStation, PC, or mobile devices.

HyperX Cloud 3 Wireless

The follow-up to one of the best budget wireless gaming headsets doesn’t disappoint. The HyperX Cloud 3 Wireless is currently on sale for just $115.99 at Amazon (was $169.99). While it lacks some features found in more expensive headsets, the Cloud 3 offers amazing audio fidelity, robust build quality, and a battery that can last for up to 120 hours on a single charge.

Best Storage Deals

Seagate 2TB Xbox storage expansion card

The Seagate storage expansion card is the best and only way to equip your Xbox with 2TB of extra storage, and it’s currently on sale for its lowest price ever. Normally $399.99, the 2TB model of the Seagate storage expansion card is discounted to just $227 on Amazon.

Best Lighting Kit Deals

Govee Glide RGBIC Light Strips

If you’re looking to add some slick accent lighting to your gaming space, the eight-piece Govee Glide lighting kit is currently discounted to its lowest price ever on Amazon. Normally $129.99, this kit is available for just $79.99 when you use the on-page coupon. The Govee Glide lighting kit is packaged with eight interlocking foot-long strips that provide diffused RGB lighting to any space — not that cheap-looking, purely dot-like texture that many other RGB strips have. The lighting can be adjusted via the Govee app, but is also compatible with Amazon Alexa and other home automation systems. The kit also features four corner pieces to arrange your lighting strips into fun designs.

The next level of puzzles.
