HP Omen 17 Gaming Laptop | i9 | RTX 4090 | 32GB | 2TB SSD: was AU $7,399 now AU$3,748 at HP eBay
Save AU$3,651

This monster gaming laptop is extraordinarily expensive at RRP, but with this massive Black Friday discount it's definitely tipping closer to "affordable" territory. eBay Plus members can score an extra AU$120 using code PLUS120, which is a brilliant price for a gaming laptop endowed with an RTX 4090, i9 13900HX CPU, 32GB of RAM, 2TB of SSD and a 17.3-inch, 2560 x 1440, 240 Hz, 3 ms display. It'll play anything you can throw at it.

Save AU$802

This mid-range gaming laptop pairs a decent RTX 4050 GPU with a 144Hz, 1920 x 1080 display. You're not going to blow heads off with the performance here, but for the money (and this is a really great price for a workhorse gaming lappy) you're getting great FHD performance at high refresh rates. Officeworks doesn't show a discount, but it's 38% off RRP, cheaper than the next best price.

Up to 38% off

Lenovo has kickstarted its Black Friday business earlier this year, and one of the highlights is big discounts on its Lenovo Slim 5 Gen 9 gaming lappies, specifically those wielding AMD chips. To enjoy these discounts you need to use the eCoupon EARLYACCESS at checkout. Free shipping applies to both models.

Lenovo LOQ 15.6-inch | Core i5 | 16GB | RTX 4050 | 512GB SSD: was AU$2,039 now AU$1,499 from Lenovo
Save AU$539

If you're after an affordable gaming laptop that'll run most games smoothly at 1080p with silky smooth framerates, this is a great price. It doesn't have the smallest form factor going, but its looks nevertheless mean it can double as a work laptop too. You're not buying this for power: you're buying it for an affordable option to dive into games, albeit not at their highest settings.

HP Victus 15 (15-fa1113TX) | i5 | 16GB RAM | 1TB SSD | RTX 4050: was AU$2,499 now AU$1,399 at HP eBay
Save AU$1,100

This HP mid-ranger is a perfect option if you need a productivity machine that'll also run games at 1080p with a smooth framerate. eBay Plus members can save an extra AU$100 using code PLUS120 and get it cheaper than it was during the recent EOFY sales.

Save AU$140

Here's a generously sized curved monitor with a silky 165Hz refresh rate. Well under AU$300 for a QHD monitor of this size is well worth consideration, especially if you're after a second screen that doesn't skimp in the size department. This one is part of MWave's current free shipping deal, so the price you see is what you pay.

Want a wider version? The G5 34 inch UWQHD model is also discounted at the moment, from AU$589 to AU$399. If you'd prefer the 16:9 27 inch model, that's down from AU$369 to AU$209.

Save AU$400

This Gigabyte workhorse is a reliable deal highlight during Black Friday, so we're not surprised to see this generous AU$400 discount rear its head. This is a mighty fine monitor, with a big 32-inch IPS display, a smooth 144Hz refresh rate and a vibrant 400 nits of brightness. This is a solid and dependable 4K monitor well worth investigation at this price.

Save AU$600

It may be difficult to stifle a laugh at how ridiculous this thing is to look at, but those concerns will likely fade away once you're gaming in front of this beast. It pulls out all stops, with a 240Hz refresh rate with a 0.03ms response time, which is going to verge noticeable on this ultrawide DQHD display. Look: it still ain't cheap, but if you want this much screen real estate and don't want to compromise on quality, now may be the time to bite on this.

Save AU$110.20

Amazon is currently offering a nice discount on the ticket price of this Alienware workhorse. It's a QHD (2560x1440) affair with a smooth 165Hz refresh rate (180Hz overclocked), a 1ms response time and support for FreeSync and G-Sync.

Save AU$250

The Meta Quest 3 tops our list of the best VR headset, and this bundle deal is exceptionally good: some competitors are selling this 512GB model for AU$100 more without Batman: Arkham Shadow bundled in. This third iteration of Zuck's VR headset vastly improves over its predecessor (which mind you, is our second favourite headset—Valve can you fix this please?).

Save AU$279.51

The RRP on this set of wireless gaming cans is absolutely bonkers, but this 38% Black Friday discount brings it down to something way more affordable: it's the lowest price that we've ever seen for this extremely high end piece of kit. Our review was very enthusiastic, noting its "impressive connectivity, fast charging, hot-swappable batteries and great adjustability". Needless to say its sound quality is bleeding edge premium as well. Not many people need a headset this expensive (even with the discount) but if you're in the market, now's the time.

Save AU$96.95

This 48% discount improves upon the AU$119 price offered during Amazon Big Deal Days, making this a perfect time to snatch up this great headset. The wired Logitech affair comes with 7.1 Surround Sound, a USB DAC, a detachable mic with the usual noise reduction features, and "Pro-G" 50mm drivers. Its marketing leans heavily into the budding esports champ, but it'll do nicely for just about any gaming or listening purpose.

Save AU$93.47

The battery in this 2.4Hz wireless Turtle Beach headset can accommodate over 48 hours of wireless gaming, which is pretty impressive. Meanwhile, you can get 8.5 hours of playtime from a 15 minute charge. Inside there's 50mm drivers for booming audio, Spatial Audio support and a flip-to-mute mic. Good for PC, but will play nice with whatever consoles you have too, plus the Steam Deck.

save AU$96.10

Another new Corsair low (it was AU$139 during Amazon Prime Day), this is a great price for a wireless gaming headset with Dolby Audio 7.1. Best of all, it has both wireless and Bluetooth connectivity, making it very versatile. It's an over-air affair with an omni-directional mic, and compatibility across not only PC but all the consoles. It's also available in black.

Save AU$7.50

With Steam Deck launching in Australia this month, now's the time to start hunting for deals on all-important Steam Deck accessories. Among the most attractive peripherals is a dock, all the better to plug the handheld into a monitor or TV, and this one is a more entry level version of our favourite Steam Deck dock. Ports include HDMI 2.0, which supports 4K at 60Hz, a 100Mbps ethernet port, two USB-A 2.0 ports and a USB-C with charging passthrough. Probably all you'll need to start with.

Save AU$80

This isn't the lowest price we've seen on this SCUF pad (that'd be AU$279.20) but it's still a decent chunk off a rather exorbitant RRP. It's all about customisation, and it's right up there on our list of best controllers for PC gamers thanks to its remappable back paddles, instant triggers, and solid build. This discount is only available for the white controller.

Save AU$80

I am using this mechanical slab to write this very text, but it's also what I use to game on. The RGB is typically stunning, but 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 price is only marginally higher than its all time low of AU$165.13.

Save AU$100

If you want your keyboard to take up as little space as possible, this is a wireless 65 percenter with low profile optical switches. Small doesn't mean discreet though, so rest assured there's plenty of RGB on this thing. The ROG Falchion RX is the favourite low profile keyboard in our best gaming keyboard list, ticking just about every must-have box including great switches, a sturdy build, and plenty of connectivity options. This is the lowest price yet for this highly regarded model.

(save AU$60)

This was down to AU$129 during Amazon Prime Day and we thought it was a good price; for AU$109 it's obviously even better. It boasts pre-lubed MLX Red linear mechanical switches and a nice durable (and presentable) aluminium top plate. It's an entry level affair, but don't let that fool you: this thing is lousy with RGB, so you'll get your little light show.

Save AU$100

ASUS is not stuffing around with this one: the wireless mechanical slab shot straight to the top of our best gaming keyboards list upon release. We loved its excellent switch feel, effective sound dampening, and an elegantly compact form factor despite being a full-size keyboard. This model hasn't dropped below AU$200 before, so now's the best time yet to nab one.

Save AU$151

The most striking feature of this mechanical keyboard is its thinness, but it also comes with the promise of sub-1ms latency and 8,000Hz hyper-polling. In our review we praised the K100 Air's durability, great actuation and high polling, while bemoaning the high price of this slab. And yeah: it's expensive. Knock off AU$151 however, and it starts to look a bit more doable...

Save AU$86.38

A new low price on this Corsair rodent aimed at MMO players. 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.

Save AU$40.99
Glorious is hardly a household name but this is a mouse we can recommend: In Katie's review it's described as "the lightest RGB mouse around", and it better be, with all those holes. The ambidextrous affair is "optimized for competitive gaming", and has a 1000hz polling rate. It was down to AU$54 during Prime Day, and may drop further for Black Friday, but for now this is a good discount if you're keen on this model.

Save AU$15

This is a great entry-level USB microphone for streaming, chatting, or recording yourself saying "hey now" like Hank Kingsley in The Larry Sanders Show. It has a lot of the nowadays-essential desktop mic features, including tap-to-mute and an LED indicator to show whether you're live or not. It's a super simple and effective device, but as a caveat: it was down to AU$66.28 during Amazon's recent Big Deal Days extravaganza, so if you need to absolute lowest price, this ain't it.

Save AU$860.30

This CPU has been dropping in price for a while, but this is the lowest we've seen yet, well improving on the last big sale event. It may have released four years ago but it's still a very well-endowed chip: 12 cores, 24 threads, and plenty of grunt for whatever gaming you want to throw at it. Our reviewer was well-impressed, writing that it's a "phenomenal processor that is as good in serious apps as it is games, no other 'mainstream' chip really comes close."

Save AU$39

After buying a bunch of PC hardware this Black Friday, you'll need something to house it all, and this Corsair case is a great looking and practical way to do it. It comes with a pair of fans, great cable management options and a tempered glass side panel to show off the goodies within. It's got space for cooling radiators too, of course.
