Acer sells this model direct for AU$1,899, though it can usually had for around AU$1,299. That makes this AU$999 price good either way, and while these aren't the highest specs with the RTX 4050 inside, it'll game brilliantly at 1080p and 60fps (the screen is a 165Hz affair). To get this price you need to be an eBay Plus member (or sign up for a free trial) and use code PLUS120 at checkout.

Save AU$822

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.

Save AU$740

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.

Save AU$750

This is a great saving on a big mid-range 15.6 inch gaming laptop. The 1080p display boasts a smooth 144Hz refresh rate which, in concert with the i7-13620H CPU and 4060 GPU, will run modern games brilliantly in FHD. If these specs aren't what you're looking for, there's more MSI Cyborg deals are available at JB.

MSI Claw A1M handheld gaming PC: from AU$899, save up to AU$550

When it arrived earlier this year, one of the common complaints about MSI's Claw was that it was priced too high, but for Black Friday MSI AU's drastically slashing the price of the three models on sale locally, with the standout to us being the fastest and largest of the three, which is AU$600 off:
• Core Ultra 7 | 16GB RAM | 1TB SSD: was AU$1,499 now AU$899 (save AU$600)
The other two models carry smaller discounts:

HP Victus 15 (15-fa1113TX) | i5 | 16GB RAM | 1TB SSD | RTX 4050: was AU$2,499 now AU$1,198 at HP eBay
Save AU$1,301

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 20% by using code HP20SAVE and get it cheaper than it was during the recent EOFY sales.

Save AU$415

At first glance, the RRP for the 27 inch 1440p gaming monitor might seem astoundingly steep. Hold your horses though, because this one's for the refresh rate junkies: it boasts a (some would claim exorbitantly) high 360Hz refresh rate, for those who want that. Definitely someone thing competitive players to consider. For this price, use the coupon code DNCPAU10.

If you want the 4K equivalent, which as a result comes in at a slightly lower 240Hz refresh rate, that's currently AU$1,281.05, down from AU$1,889.

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$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$88.94

A noteworthy discount on this great set of wireless gaming cans. It boasts a frankly-unbelievable (but true) 300 hours of battery life, DTS Headphone:X Spatial Audio, and the Cloud series' now iconic tough-as-guts aluminum frame. Make note this is a deskbound headset: it uses 2.4Ghz wireless connectivity, but has no Bluetooth for on-the-go listening.

Save AU$256

The RRP on this set of wireless gaming cans is absolutely bonkers, but this 35% 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$91.92

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 for a few dollars more.

Save AU$188.95
This 42% discount gets you a respected high-level headset which we praised for its good battery life, decent audience and comfort. In our 72/100 review we criticised its price and "unspectacular" mic, but perhaps those shortcomings are a little easier to bear with this whopping price cut. Available in Black and Magenta.

Save AU$129
The Corsair HS80 Max Wireless Gaming Headset offers low-latency 2.4Ghz wireless audio and Bluetooth connectivity, along with high-fidelity 24bit/96kHz sound and support for Dolby Atmos Spatial Audio. Now discounted by 46% in Steel Grey and White.

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$24

This 65W power bank is perfect for getting your Steam Deck back to life when you're on the go. The 20,000 mAh capacity also makes it a good option for phones and laptops, so it's a versatile affair that you likely won't regret having around. It's light, efficient, and well worth a purchase with this AU$24 discount.

Also consider the 100W, 25,000mAh Iniu B63 for $76.49.

Save AU$90

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 grey controller; other colours are also discounted, though not by quite as much.

Save AU$30.95

It's not at all rare for this Xbox pad to go on sale during sales events, though the same price never applies to all colours. White is the cheapest so far for Black Friday, so if you need a new controller it's well worth biting, especially if you're wanting something that'll work across both desktop and Steam Deck.

Save AU$37.17

You're not playing fighting games on a keyboard, are you? I mean, that's fine if you are, but a controller is immeasurably better for this genre, and if you want to go all-in, a fight stick is even better. This 8BitDo board, sporting a fairly familiar colour palette, supports both Bluetooth and 2.4GHz connectivity for Nintendo Switch and Windows PCs.

Save AU$120

This gorgeous 75% keyboard is usually an extremely pricey afffair, so hopefully this AU$120 saving makes it more viable for those attracted by its charms. It has both Bluetooth and 2.4GHz wireless connectivity, amazing gasket mount keys, and an OLED display at the top right corner so that you don't always have to use Asus's (often annoying) desktop software. If you prefer the white model, that's going for AU$299.

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$99.73

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$48.94

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 great 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$122.96
Samsung's 990 Pro 2TB internal solid state drive has received a 32% discount on Amazon, making a payload of storage a lot more affordable. With one of these, you could easily install Stalker 2 up to 12 times, which is great albeit pointless. This PCIe Gen4 M.2 2280 affair has read/write speeds up to 7450/6900 MB/s, so it's a very tidy fit for gaming. If you want even more space, how about:

4TB: AU$729 AU$619

Save AU$45

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.
