Amazon Mid-Year Sale PC gaming deals in Australia: save on keyboards, mice, headsets, handheld PCs and much more
Tracking all the bargains live.
Every year Amazon runs its Mid-Year Sale to coincide with Australia's end of financial year sale events, and 2026 is no exception. Running from Monday, June 1 until Sunday, June 7, the giant global online retailer will be doling out cheap PC accessories and components, the highlights among which I've gathered below.
From now until Sunday I'll be keeping a close eye on Amazon's PC gaming gear for any new and worthy deals. I'll generally stay focused on stuff that PC Gamer can recommend, but I'll also include gear that we haven't if the discounted price seems remarkable enough.
The Mid-Year Sale isn't an Amazon Prime exclusive event by any means, but that doesn't rule out the chance that some deals will be exclusive to subscribers. If you're not a subscriber, you can sign-up for a free trial.

Gamepads and controllers
If you're after a simple but durable gamepad to use at your desk, this 8Bitdo is definitely worth a look. Not only does it have drift-free hall effect analog sticks, but base of the sticks also have RGB. It's a wired only affair, so unless you've got a big cord, it's probably not designed for couch play. This isn't the best price we've seen, because it was down to AU$47.96 last year.

If you miss the simpler days when controllers didn't feel like military grade tech, this 8BitDo unit should bring a smile to your gob. Modelled after the Super Nintendo gamepad, this gamepad is obviously not an all-rounder, but if you love to play retro games (or modern games inspired by the past) then you might as well add it to your arsenal at this price.

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 sticks, face button microswitches, Hall Effect triggers, paddle buttons, 2.4 Ghz wireless and Bluetooth: it basically has everything you want form a pro controller, without being priced like a pro controller.

Our favourite budget PC controller gets a discount that brings it into impulse-buy territory. There's a lot to love at this price point: 2.4Ghz wireless connectivity, Bluetooth, a wired option via the Type-C port, and ten hours of battery life. The build quality isn't the sturdiest going around, and there's no audio jack, but this is a great piece of kit for well under AU$50.

This SCUF pad is all about customisation thanks to its remappable back paddles, instant triggers, and solid build. We reviewed this model well back in 2021, but it no longer ranks among the best PC gaming controllers. The price here is on the Grey and Red controllers. It's been down to AU$249 in the past, but AU$279 is still pretty good.

This beauty used to be our favourite drift-free hall effect gamepad before it was dethroned by the Razer Wolverine V3 Pro, so if you're in the market for one, this is a decent price. I still love this controller and use it daily, especially due to its super-tactile microswitches. The onboard display is more useful than you'd think, and while the RGB is a little superfluous, it feels extremely good in the hands. Read my 90 / 100 review if you're unconvinced.

Headsets
A nice cut off this relatively new set of gaming cans with some great features: Dolby Atmos, dual wireless (connect to two things at once!) and fast charging for the battery with 70 hours capacity. We reviewed it ilast year and it held up well, though we did bemoan its "reliance on bloatware" and the lack of a wired connection. It also has a very, uh, distinctive look. Was down to AU$119 last year.

The Cloud II was a go-to if you wanted a sturdy, mid-range wired gaming headset. This wireless follow-up is decently specced for its price, with angled 53mm drivers, a detachable "ultra-clear" mic, and DTS Headphone:X Spatial Audio.

If you're hell bent on keeping costs low, JBL’s Quantum 100M2 is cheap as chips—especially if you happen to be buying AU$28 worth of chips. These aren't fancy but they do work, with a boom mic, breathable ear cushions, and a stripped-back design.

Here's JBL's stab at the mid-range market. We haven't reviewed these but if you're after an affordable wireless headset it could be worth investigation: boasts up to 22 hours of battery life, a flip-up boom mic, JBL QuantumSURROUND tech and compatibility across PC and consoles (not to mention smartphones). Was down to AU$99 last year, so not the best deal, but a deal all the same.

It's perfectly understandable if you don't want to fork out AU$450 for a gaming headset. You're not alone! But maybe this drastic reduction makes it a bit more doable. This is a pro-level headset with 50mm graphene drivers, DTS:X Headphone 2.0—7.1 Surround, Bluetooth, USB and 3.5mm connectivity, and support for PC, PS5, PS4 and Nintendo Switch.

Keyboards
This Nintendo-themed mechanical keyboard is a wireless affair with support for both Bluetooth and 2.4 GHz wireless. Despite having the appearance of a novelty item, it is a fully functioning piece of kit that will delight anyone who likes fancy-flavoured PC peripherals.

This is a decent price for this gorgeous 75% keyboard (though not as great as 2025 Black Friday's AU$229). 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. Only the white is going for this price, though black is only a couple of dollars more.

A nice chunk off this very pricey Corsair slab. It's expensive for a reason: not only does it have hyper-responsive Hall Effect switches and a 8,000Hz polling rate, but it's also got a fricken screen at the top right corner. Also expect the usual RGB trimmings and an advertised lifespan of 150 million keypresses.

A welcome discount on this premium slab, which happens to be my day-to-day workhorse. The RGB is typically stunning, and 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.

40 percent off this tenkeyless wireless keyboard, which has a 1000Hz polling rate, ABS double-shot keycaps, and pre-lubed MLX Red v2 linear switches. We haven't tested this one, but I use the K70 RGB Pro every day and love it. This isn't the lowest we've seen this model, that being AU$130 during Boxing Day.

A decent discount on this well-regarded 75% size mechanical gaming keyboard. It has an elegant and reserved aesthetic, but it's a true powerhouse when it comes to gaming performance, with hot-swappable pre-lubed caps and dual-layer sound dampening. Was down to AU$179 last year.

This discount makes an affordable keyboard much more so, dipping it into impulse buy territory. Membrane keyboards aren't for everyone - they lack the gratifying tactility of their mechanical siblings—but if you like 'em, or are curious, this is a trick. It's a wired affair with ten-zone RGB, spill resistance, and—naturally unusually quiet button presses.

If you fancy a new keyboard but are averse to spending more than AU$100, this Logitech slab will prove mighty irresistible. We haven't reviewed it, but we've tested tonnes of great Logitech gear, and at this price you're getting some great features including "spill resistance" and the full RGB experience.

If you're after a cheap-as-chips gaming keyboard and don't mind (or love!) membrane switches, this is about as close to nothing as you're going to pay for one from a reputable brand. Comes with Chroma RGB lighting, and slim low-profile keys.

Monitors
This lush 34.2 inch has great HDR, a brilliant widescreen QL-OLED display, and a frankly absurd 240Hz refresh rate. Not convinced? Our review goes over the pros and cons, the latter including its "relatively low pixel density".

There's not much more you could want with this chonker. 44-inches of 170Hz curved screen to lose yourself into, and at AU$899 it's a bit of a bargain right now. The 5120 x 1440 resolution is also damn handy when you use this as a work monitor.

Mice
The Corsair Sabre V2 Pro is one of PC Gamer's best reviewed gaming mice of 2025. Jacob Fox loved its near-impossible lightness (36g!), app-free ease of use, brilliant sensor and robust build, though didn't like that it can only store one onboard profile. Look at the specs: 8,000Hz Hyper-Polling, 33,000 DPI, and up to 70 hours of battery life.

This Razer rodesnt used to be our favourite wireless gaming mouse; it's since been ursurped by the Razer Viper V4 Pro but that is also more than double this discounted price. The DeathAdder V3 Hyperspeed is comfortable, fast, accurate, and as far as gaming mice go, elegantly presented.

Let's face it: this thing looks kinda gross. Or... elite? It sure does have RGB emanating from the inside. Don't let my hang-ups get you down, though: our review was quite positive, praising its light weight, responsiveness and robust wireless connectivity.

Components
In these days of austerity, RGB bling is now seen as pompous postering. So get with the proletariat program and invest in these unadorned but hard working Corsair fans. This works out at just AU$12.15 per fan, not that we think in terms of individuality anymore.

Corsair's RM-series has a good reputation and this 65 watter would suit a PC with up to an RTX 5060 or equivalent.

MAGsimum gaming
I was really surprised to find the MSI MAG 244F going for a mere AU$159. It was already cheap at its usual AU$189 price...
It's a sweet-spot 24-inch 1920 x 1080 screen with a quality IPS panel that'll run at 200Hz and a 0.5ms response time.
That's going to pair very well with any budget to mid-range gaming PC, or for faster boxes it'll let you own in ultra detail and ultra FPS.
Blowing in the wind
Yes, cleaning is a tiresome chore, and double-yes, the exception to that rule is cleaning your PC. Why? Because your PC is your friend, you are proud of your PC and want it to be beautiful, and perhaps to a lesser degree–if you don't keep certain parts of your PC clean it could die.
So, let's make cleaning fun, together, today. ProTip: it's easy and fun. Use an electric air duster and you'll soon be searching the house for other things to blow, it's that nice.
Canned compressed air is yesterday's technology. It runs out, see. Electric dusters is where it's at. They're rechargeable adjustable, and come with nozzles and diffusers for specific jobs.
I found an especially nice one while bargain hunting this morning. It's a more premium model, but it's also down from AU$149.99 to AU$99.99 for this sale.
The motor spins at 300,000 RPM. You read that right. That's twice what most other can do, and it comes with a bevy of attachments, including a brush for detail work, which is also great for making your keyboard as-new again.
Retract! Retract! Below I wrote about a nice discount on a membrane gaming keyboard: the Corsair K55 Core Membrane is going for AU$59, down from AU$79.95.
But wait! There's an even cheaper membrane keyboard going during the Mid-Year Sale, and not only that, it's also from a reputable brand.
Check it out:

Sane in the Membrane
I reckon AU$59 for a gaming keyboard from a reputable brand is worth writing about. The Corsair K55 Core RGB isn't usually very pricey at AU$79, but it's currently down to AU$59 on Amazon for Black Friday.
This is a wired membrane keyboard. It's really worth dwelling on that "membrane" part if you aren't familiar with the concept. Basically, this is very much not a mechanical keyboard. Instead of clicky mechanical switches they use a rubber dome, which means their sound is soft-verging-non-existent. Detractors of membrane keyboards—and I have to admit, I'm one of those—criticise their "mushiness".
PC Gamer's favourite membrane keyboard is the Roccat Magma Mini, which is currently pretty scarce in Australia. So you could hunt around for that if you love or think you'll love membrane, but AU$59 for the Corsair is hard to deny.
This discount makes an affordable keyboard much more so, dipping it into impulse buy territory. Membrane keyboards aren't for everyone - they lack the gratifying tactility of their mechanical siblings—but if you like 'em, or are curious, this is a trick. It's a wired affair with ten-zone RGB, spill resistance, and—naturally unusually quiet button presses.

Screen dreams
The market for gamepads is amazing right now, and extremely geared in favour of the consumer. A couple of years ago I considered this Turtle Beach Stealth Ultra controller my personal favourite. It's a premium "pro" controller with pretty much everything you'd expect from one of those—back buttons, trigger stops, Hall Effect sticks and tactile microswitches—and more.
That "more" is its screen. If you're averse to ever using software it's a big boon for switching between on-board profiles, and you can even get Discord notifs on it if you want (I prefer to be left alone, but that's just me). But my favourite thing about it—and this is admittedly small—is how easy it makes switching between wireless and Bluetooth functionality. I use both a desktop PC and Steam Deck, so that matters. What can sometimes be fiddly on other controllers just works here, thanks to the screen.
The Turtle Beach Stealth Ultra isn't on our list of the best gaming controllers anymore, and it's not my personal fave anymore: that goes to the Gamesir G7 Pro Tri-Mode. But if you want one —and my review may prove convincing—they're currently going for AU$178.56 during Amazon's Mid-Year sale, down from AU$329.95.
It's probably not worth paying full RRP on this Turtle Beach gem, especially with some pro controller features going mainstream and being available in much cheaper gamepads. But, it is an undeniably robust piece of kit, and that screen has some great QOL features that I actually miss whenever I'm not using it. I scored it a 90 / 100 in my review.

If you grew up on classic games or just love retro vibes, 8BitDo’s newest mechanical keyboard scratches the nostalgia itch. It riffs on the Commodore 64 look and feel, with 87 hot swappable keys in a top mount build using Kailh Box White switches.
You get double shot ABS keycaps with an SA profile and fully programmable keys. There are also dual Super Buttons and a Super Stick for when you want to dive into old faves.
Note that this deal price is currently on the white mode. Normally it's sold for AU$152.

Screen dream
For those in the market for a lavish, curvy, ultrawide QHD gaming monitor, you could do much worse than AU$525 for the Alienware AW3425DWM. Amazon is currently flogging it at a 33% discount, so the already reasonable price of AU$749 gets even better.
PC Gamer hasn't reviewed this particular model but our pals at TechRadar rated it pretty highly. It may not have the brightest image, and it ain't OLED, but that's because it's already an affordable panel. For AU$525 you're getting a lot.
An absolutely crazy discount on this big 34 inch widescreen gaming monitor with a 3440x1440p resolution. It boasts a 180Hz refresh rate for silky smooth frames, AMD FreeSync Premium, and both VESA AdaptiveSync and DisplayHDR 400.

Work, work, work
Good morning!
First order of the day is pointing out this discount on the Razer DeathAdder V3 HyperSpeed. It's currently going for AU$119 on Amazon, down from AU$179.95 (a saving of AU$60.95).
According to our 91 / 100 review, this thing is properly comfortable. It's fairly unadorned—don't expect any fancy RGB here—but what it lacks in flamboyance it more than makes up for with a brilliant gaming experience. "Its understated looks hide a seriously capable mouse and the lack of super-fast polling rates and laser-accurate sensors arguably makes it a better mouse for the vast majority of PC gamers out there," Nick wrote.
If you're keen for something fancier there's plenty of other gaming mice available (just scroll up) but this Razer model used to be our favourite wireless mouse for a reason. It's since been usurped by the Razer Viper V4 Pro.
A nice AU$60 off this highly capable, fuss-free wireless gaming mouse, which used to be our favourite wireless gaming mouse. It boasts 26,000 DPI, an astonishing 1,000Hz polling rate and a huge 100 hours battery life. Don't like RGB? You're in luck: there's none here.

Thank you, sir
The Gamesir G7 Pro is back on sale for AU$135, which is pretty much as low as it ever gets. That might seem pricey compared to, say, the Xbox controller (which RRPs for AU$89), but the G7 Pro is a brilliant pro controller that can hold its own against the likes of the Xbox Pro Controller, or any equivalent made by any other brand.
I reviewed it myself back in September, and you can read the full thing here, but the short of it is this: clicky microswitches, drift-free TMR sticks, Hall Effect triggers (yep, there are trigger stops) and paddle buttons that you can effectively toggle off and on. And those are just a few of the brilliant features.
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 sticks, face button microswitches, Hall Effect triggers, paddle buttons, 2.4 Ghz wireless and Bluetooth: it basically has everything you want form a pro controller, without being priced like a pro controller.

Totally wired
Though it released seven years ago, the HyperX Cloud Alpha is still the best wired gaming headset according to PC Gamer's experts. Perhaps that's no surprise: although there's a lot of competition in this field, most tend to vie for the wireless market nowadays.
This headset is comfy, has great audio, and is pretty damn affordable even at its usual street price, which tends to hover around the AU$150 mark. Right now, Amazon is offering it for AU$78.45, which is a sterling discount on a robust piece of kit.
That ships from Amazon UK and will arrive by June 12, unless you opt for faster shipping.
In the words of our review: "Despite the narrowing of the gap between this and the chasing pack, and despite Steelseries’ increasing dominance in the wireless headset market, for a cabled headset under $100, this should still be your first consideration."
Welcome!
