1+ day, 20+ hour ago (433+ words) Sing along if you know the words. I've been pining after a set of Govee lights ever since I first locked eyes upon Hope's Govee x Evangelion gaming light kits review (not to mention that review's absolutely diabolical strap line'if you know, you know). Thankfully, it turns out a great big chunk of this lighting collaboration is now discounted in the Black Friday sales. As I write, the six piece Govee x Evangelion gaming wall lights set is already in my basket for only $90 from Amazon. The Govee x Evangelion RGBIC gaming light bars for only $55 are also incredibly tempting'though I think my home office full of Miku Hatsune figurines is already reaching something of weeb-y critical mass. While you can arrange these lights in a variety of configurations, you're only getting two connectors in the box. Expansion kits are…...

1+ week, 5+ day ago (254+ words) The GameSir G7 Pro tops the list of our favourite controllers for PC, and for good reason. Earlier this year I reviewed the GameSir G7 Pro controller and came away mightily impressed. For AU$159 you get a 2.4 Ghz wireless controller with all the usual "pro" trimmings'paddle buttons, a modular d-pad and face button microswitches'as well as other features that help it trounce the competition, especially at this price point. Anyway, Amazon's Black Friday sale just kicked off and you can currently get the GameSir G7 Pro for AU$135: a neat 15% discount. It's not the steepest cut'and apparently only the white model is available'but if you're going to get one, now's the time to bite. 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…...

5+ day, 19+ hour ago (357+ words) Going Pro for less. Our current pick for the best PC controller right now, the GameSir G7 Pro, is only slightly pricier than a standard Xbox controller but feels and looks nearly identical, and comes with TMR sticks, tactile switches, and a charging dock to keep it topped up and looking pretty on a shelf. This is the lowest we've seen this controller at, and it was already reasonably priced at MSRP. Key specs: TMR joysticks | 2.4 GHz wireless, Bluetooth, Wired | Asymmetric | 272 g It's not every day the best of the best can be enjoyed at a cut price'but then again, not every day is Black Friday. For the moment, I'll set aside my grumblings about how it just feels like the week-long sales events go on forever, and instead tell you about a cracking deal on the best PC controller. GameSir…...

5+ day, 3+ hour ago (528+ words) Samsung offers small storage solutions at a tiny price. In between all the wildly dystopic things happening in tech, it's important to remember the little, positive things about living in the future. For one thing, we can shrink storage media down to a form factor roughly the size of a fingernail, allowing you to pack up your Steam games onto a MicroSD card and take them with you on adventures abroad on your Steam Deck. Valve has also said the recently announced Steam Machine and the Steam Frame VR headset will be interoperable with the Steam Deck, meaning you can pop out the MicroSD card from one device and slot it into the other. With the Steam Machine set for an early 2026 release window, Black Friday may well be the best time to snag an upgrade'especially when you can get…...

4+ hour, 5+ min ago (453+ words) I'll go UFO, why not. Key specs: Core Ultra 7 265F | RTX 5070 Ti | 32 GB DDR5-5200 | 2 TB SSD | 750 W PSU And once you take into account the free 2 TB SSD upgrade? It's the best RTX 5070 Ti gaming PC deal I've found so far, among many candidates. With an RTX 5070 Ti in the GPU slot and a 20-core Intel chip in the CPU socket, this PC should deliver excellent frame rates in even the most demanding of games. I've got a lot of experience with the RTX 5070 Ti at this point, and can confirm that it's a screamingly-fast GPU at 1080p and 1440p'and can even hold its own at 4K, as long as you don't mind a dose of DLSS 4. Plus, you're getting 32 GB of DDR5-5200. It's not the fastest stuff in the world, but memory speeds don't often make a huge difference to your gaming performance, anyway....

2+ day, 5+ hour ago (490+ words) The Black Friday hits keep on playing. We all remember our first gaming PC, not to mention the long and winding road to actually choosing which rig to spend our precious pennies on. Well, I'm here to make that road just a little easier this Black Friday with not one but two deals on prebuilt gaming PCs. Now, they're both Nvidia GeForce RTX 5060 machines, so don't all jump up at once. Key specs: Core i5 14400F | RTX 5060 | 16 GB DDR5-6000 | 1 TB SSD You're getting 16 GB of DDR5 RAM inside of this machine, and while that's not all the RAM in the world, it's more than enough to play Battlefield 6 or Elden Ring Nightreign. This machine's CPU, an Intel Core i5-14400F, shouldn't hold you back either, as it's a nippy little unit that still kicks hard in modern games. Packing in a 1 TB PCIe 4.0 SSD to boot,…...

1+ day, 14+ hour ago (300+ words) Matching an RTX 5080 with a Ryzen 7 9800X3D, a three-year warranty, and a hefty $650 discount. This isn't the cheapest RTX 5080 gaming PC we've found over the Black Friday gaming PC sales this year, that distinction goes to an Intel Core Ultra 7-powered Lenovo box with a frankly unbelieveable $1,650 discount applied to it. I mean, that should never have been $3,849.99 in the first place. But if you've been paying any attention to state of desktop PC gaming hardware in 2025 you'll know that you don't really want to be paying that sort of money to then be saddled with an Intel CPU. I'm sorry Intel, I really am, but it's the truth. Intel has slipped on desktop CPUs, with AMD's outstanding 3D V-Cache the tech that you want jammed into your gaming processor. Intel understands this, which is why it's going HAM with its next-gen…...

4+ day, 2+ hour ago (398+ words) And it's available in three different colors. 8BitDo's Ultimate 2 Wireless pairs a cute aesthetic with TMR sticks (bye bye stick drift) Hall effect triggers, 1,000 Hz polling rate and a charging stand. At under $50, it feels like a bit of a steal. Key specs: TMR sticks | Hall effect + linear switch triggers | gyroscope | wireless and wired Price check: Best Buy $69.99 It feels like every Black Friday, I've got my eye on gaming controllers. That's because stick drift seems to be hitting me worse and worse every year. If you're anything like me, you can avoid stick drift almost entirely and get a cute wireless controller with a charging stand, all for less than $50 right now. That's because, in Amazon's Black Friday sale, 8BitDo's Ultimate 2 wireless controller is currently selling for $48. That's a saving of 20% and you have three different colorways to choose…...

4+ day, 56+ min ago (550+ words) Analog switches and a neat little carry case. There's no deal on this plucky little keyboard, but you do get a free carry case and wrist rest right now. Key specs: Analog switches | 60% | PBT keycaps Wooting's keyboards are favored by esports pros and casual gamers alike. The company popularised analog switches and still holds the crown for the best Hall effect gaming keyboard, in our opinion. So, we don't tend to see many discounts on its popular products, but it is still playing along this Black Friday with a couple of freebies. Head over to the Wooting website, and you can grab the Wooting 60HE+ for $155. That's the regular price, but on the next page, you can add the Wooting wrist rest 60 Mini (regular price $30) and the Wooting Travel Case 60% (regular price $29) for free. I reviewed the original Wooting 60HE and have…...
