Offers of gaming equipment
Alienware Aurora

The Aurora R14 is an updated version of one of our favorite gaming desktops. It has the sleek Alienware chassis, an RTX 3080 graphics card and 32GB of RAM, making it a beast machine.
Razer makes some of the best gaming laptops in the world, and the Razer Blade 14 is one of our favorites. It includes an RTX 3080 graphics card, 16GB of RAM and a 1 terabyte SSD for smooth gaming even when you’re not home.
Few manufacturers can give Razer a run for its money in the gaming laptop space, but Asus is one of them. The Rog Zephyrus G15 is one of our best overall choices for gaming laptops in 2022, thanks to its RTX 3080 graphics card, 16:10 wide wide bezel display, and AMD Ryzen 9 5900HS processor.
TV and monitor deals

This LG OLED TV (8/10, cable recommended) supports games of up to 120 frames per second (fps) in 4K HDR, as well as Nvidia’s G-Sync or AMD’s FreeSync for the smoothest gaming possible on one of the most beautiful screens we have tried. It also comes in a smaller 48-inch variant for $ 797.
Ultrawide monitors like this one from AOC offer much greater peripheral vision coverage than typical screens, which is a great asset to have during gaming. If you want to immerse yourself in the games you play, this monitor is one of our favorite ultrawides.
For those engaged in performance, this LG Ultragear monitor sticks with a 1080p panel, but has up to 240 fps for smoother action, even from fast-paced gaming. It is compatible with both Nvidia G-Sync and AMD FreeSync, and the included base is adjustable in height, tilt and pivot.
Okay, technically, Philips Hue lights aren’t game-specific, but which player doesn’t need more RGB lights? This kit is our upgrade selection and is one of the most popular (and also more expensive) smart lighting systems. As long as you feel comfortable betting on a more expensive system in the long run, this is a good deal on an initial package.

It’s hard to find a perfect mouse, but the Razer Viper Ultimate is approaching. It’s our best selection of wireless-based mouse, and has been one of our best choices in the past thanks to its ambidextrous design, smart charging base, and convenient dongle storage.
There are not too many buttons on a gaming mouse. That’s how I do it. So does Razer. And so far it has gone pretty well. This mouse is one of our favorites, largely due to having 19 customizable buttons, making it a Swiss Army knife of customization for players and workers.
This charging station is one of our choices for PS5 accessories, and for good reason. It’s a handy way to make sure your drivers stay loaded between sessions, plus it matches the sensibilities of the PS5’s ostentatious design, so it’ll fit your entertainment unit perfectly.
With games getting bigger, there is never enough storage for everyone. Fortunately, thin SSDs like this one from WD can expand storage on your computer or PS5 with minimal effort. This model includes 1 terabyte of storage in a compact pen.
The latest console or the fastest gaming computer won’t matter much if you don’t have the bandwidth to download or play it. This Orbi mesh Wi-Fi system is our best choice for large homes to offer your network better coverage and faster speeds, no matter how far you are from the router. This price has been a couple of times in recent months, but it does not hold.
Headphone deals

These headphones were already one of our favorites for less than $ 50, but this offer makes it even sweeter. The wireless version of the Arctis 1 (8/10, WIRED Recommends) impressed us with its rich sound and clear microphone quality. This model is largely the same, but uses a cable connection.
The Bluetooth version of the Arctis 3 is our best choice for Switch players who want to use voice chat. However, this wired option is still an excellent headset and can be connected to any platform, making it a versatile and economical can set.
The Arctis Prime from SteelSeries (8/10, WIRED Recommends) is our choice for mid-range gaming headphones for less than $ 100. However, right now it’s a lot less than $ 100. If you want a better-than-average pair of headphones without spending a lot, now is the time.
The Logitech G Pro X is currently our best selection for the best wireless gaming headphones. It is compatible with PC, PlayStation and has a solid battery life. Its DTX: S object-based surround sound makes it easy to hear exactly where the enemies are in your game, and Logitech’s G Hub software allows for plenty of audio customization options.
