Mice
Razer Viper V2 Pro HyperSpeed
$149.99 -> $79.99 on Amazon
The Razer Viper V2 Pro might not be the latest Viper (that’s the V3 Pro) but it’s still an extremely capable gaming mouse. The fact that it’s still the #6 mouse across all games on ProSettings.net proves this point.
What you’re getting here is an ambidextrous gaming mouse with incredible tech behind it that weighs in at just 58 grams. With a flawless wireless connection, a top tier FOCUS PRO 30K Optical Sensor, and third-gen optical switches it’s a fantastic purchase for anyone who is looking to up their game.
If you’re someone who is looking for a flat, feeling ambidextrous mouse, this is a great purchase.
Razer Viper V3 HyperSpeed
$69.99 -> $59.99 on Amazon
The Viper V3 HyperSpeed is the budget version of the Viper V3 Pro. That’s one of the most technologically advanced mice out there right now, and also one of the most popular mice in the pro scene.
If you don’t really care for getting the latest cutting-edge tech and you just want the Viper V3 Pro experience in a more budget package, this is a great purchase. The HyperSpeed version has a flawless sensor, perfect wireless connection, and the same shape and design as the flagship version.
You absolutely don’t need to make any compromises in the gaming performance department if you opt for the HyperSpeed. However, it does use Alkaline/Lithuim batteries instead of a rechargeable battery, making it quite a bit heavier at 82 grams. It also doesn’t come with a HyperPolling dongle, although it is capable of 8000Hz polling rates. Lastly, it also has mechanical switches instead of opticals.
If you can live with these compromises, the Viper V3 HyperSpeed is an excellent budget alternative to one of today’s top pro gaming mice.
Logitech G Pro X Superlight 2
$159.99 -> $137.49 on Amazon
The Superlight 2 is the most recent iteration of Logitech’s iconic flagship line of gaming mice. As such, the discount that’s being offered isn’t as steep. Still, if you’ve had you eye on this particular mouse for a while, now might be a good time to snatch it up.
The Superlight line of mice has been the most popular gaming mouse in pro gaming circles for years now, so you’d be getting a mouse that has been used by tons of tournament-winning pros. Its ‘one shape fits all’ type of super safe design won’t suit anyone who is looking for a specialized type of mouse, but if you’re looking for your first gaming mouse or you quite simply want a safe shape, this is a great one to get.
The Superlight 2 is capable of polling rates of up to 8000Hz, has optical switches, and comes in at 59 grams.
Logitech G Pro X Superlight
$159.99 -> $99.00 on Amazon
The Superlight is the predecessor to the Superlight 2 and is now experiencing a pretty deep sale. That’s great news for gamers who want to get into the Superlight eco system, as the differences between these two versions aren’t that big.
The original Superlight is a bit heavier (62 grams vs 59 grams) and is only capable of polling rates of up to 1000Hz. In addition to that, the original Superlight has mechanical switches instead of optical ones, and uses a Micro-USB port to charge.
Small differences, as we said. So if you’re looking to get yourself a Superlight and you’re on a budget then the original is still a very good purchase.
Razer DeathAdder V3 Pro
$149.99 -> $119.99 on Amazon
The DeathAdder V3 Pro is one of the most popular ergonomic gaming mice in pro gaming right now. With the V3, Razer made some drastic changes to the shape of their iconic DeathAdder line of mice. In short: the DeathAdder became a lot ‘boxier’ than its predecessors.
Older DeathAdders were long, kind of flat-feeling mice, whereas the recent ones are a lot more in line with popular ergo shapes such as the ZOWIE EC. This move to a different shape paid off dividends. Older DeathAdders were seen here and there on pro tables, but the V3 Pro is currently the #4 mouse across all of our analyzed games.
It’s a recent Razer mouse so it has all of their latest technology inside of it. Optical switches and a FOCUS PRO 30K optical sensor capable of polling rates of up to 8000Hz make this one of today’s finest gaming mice. All of this comes in a lightweight 63g mouse.
Razer DeathAdder V3 Wired
$69.99 -> $44.99 on Amazon
If you like what you see and hear about the Razer DeathAdder V3 Pro but you don’t want to pay premium prices, you can always opt for a wired model. This wired version costs half of what the wireless version will run you. It’s also every bit as capable.
It has that FOCUS PRO 30K optical sensor, allowing you to use polling rates of up to 8000Hz. It has third-gen optical switches. Lastly, it is also lightweight at 59 grams.
The only real difference between this and the Pro model is the wire. If you can live with a wire, this is a fantastic purchase for budget-minded gamers.
Keyboards
Razer Huntsman V3 Pro TKL (+ Mini and Full Size)
$219.99 -> $199.99 on Amazon
The Razer Huntsman V3 Pro (TKL) is one of the hottest keyboards in the scene right now. It’s the #1 keyboard on ProSettings.net at the time of writing.
It has optical switches that have been implemented really well and Razer is constantly supporting this flagship keyboard with new updates meant to improve the performance even more. In short: this is one of the best gaming keyboards out there thanks to features such as Rapid Trigger. Traditional mechanical keyboards quite simply aren’t capable of these features, giving analog boards like the Huntsman V3 Pro a big leg up in terms of competitive performance.
If you want a modern gaming keyboard with technology behind it that’ll make your gaming a lot more consistent, this is a great option. It’s also available as a 60% keyboard and a full-sized keyboard. All sizes are currently on sale.
Logitech G Pro X TKL LIGHTSPEED
$199.99 -> $139.99 on Amazon
The popularity of Logitech’s Pro X line of keyboards has gone down a little over the past year. However, a ton of pros still swear by their products.
This LIGHTSPEED version is a wireless edition of one of their most popular keyboards ever. If you’ve always wanted to go for a wireless Logitech keyboard, this could be a fantastic purchase. It’s also quite deeply discounted, so now might be the perfect time to add one to your setup.
With that being said: if you’re after top gaming performances, we recommend other products. The G Pro X TKL LIGHTSPEED does offer a wireless keyboard with Logitech’s flawless wireless tech behind it, but it lacks a hotswappable PCB and it doesn’t come with analog switches. If you care about these kinds of things, you might want to look at some other keyboard options.
SteelSeries Apex Pro TKL (+ Mini and Full Size)
$189.99 -> $139.99 on Amazon
The SteelSeries Apex Pro (TKL) was one of the first keyboards to bring customizable switches to the market. Since then, other brands have taken the idea and improved on it, after which it took a while for SteelSeries to catch back up again.
Today, the Apex Pro line of keyboards is a very viable option if you’re looking for a gaming keyboard that’s packing features such as Rapid Trigger.
It’s available in three different sizes: TKL, Mini, and Full Size. All of them are quite deeply discounted right now due to the fact that the Gen 3 has just come out. That is technically a better board, but the ingame performance differences are minimal. Most of the difference can be heard in the much better stabilizers and overall typing experience.
So if you’re looking for an analog gaming keyboard at a friendly price and you don’t mind the fact that the sound isn’t as great as it could be, it might be worth it to look into the older Apex Pro line.
Logitech G915 TKL
$229.99 -> $137.99 on Amazon
The Logitech G915 TKL was one of the first wireless keyboards to truly hit it mainstream in the pro gaming scene. Its combination a low-profile design along with Logitech’s flawless LIGHTSPEED wireless tech meant that gamers could experience cordless freedom without sacrificing anything.
Today, the board is on the decline in the pro scene. That’s because of the fact that it doesn’t offer features such as Rapid Trigger due to the fact that it lacks analog switches. Still, if you’re interested in a wireless keyboard with a low-profile design, the G915 TKL is deeply discounted right now.
Mousepads
Razer Gigantus V2 XXL (+ 3XL)
$29.99 -> $24.99 on Amazon
The Razer Gigantus V2 is currently the most popular mousepad on ProSettings.net. The most popular size (Large) isn’t discounted, but the larger sizes are.
If you’re someone who wants an extended mousepad that also allows you to place your keyboard on it, this is a good chance to grab the #1 pro pad. If you want to go even larger, you could also go for the 3XL version, which covers your entire desk. Do note that the XXL and 3XL versions are 1mm thicker (at 4mm) than the smaller versions.
The Gigantus V2 Pro is a nicely balanced mousepad offering a good blend between speed and control, and is often recommended for players who gravitate towards tactical shooters due to its glide.
SteelSeries QcK Heavy XXL
$29.99 -> $14.99 on Amazon
Just like Razer, SteelSeries isn’t discounting the more commonly bought sizes of their most popular pro gaming pad. The extended version of the QcK Heavy does get a very heavy discount, though.
The QcK line of mousepads has been around for many, many years, and it’s still one of the most popular mousepad lines in pro gaming to this day. If you want to get yourself a time-tested and pro-proven gaming mousepad that also has room for your keyboard, this is a great time to pick up a QcK Heavy.
Headsets
Razer BlackShark V2 (Pro & Non-Pro)
$199.99 -> $179.99 on Amazon
The Razer BlackShark V2 Pro is the most popular headset in professional gaming right now. That’s an extremely impressive feat, since it’s practically the first time since we’ve started this website that the HyperX Cloud II has been kicked off of the top spot.
What you get with the BlackShark V2 Pro is a no-nonsense wireless headset with incredible quality. It’s built really well, with no frills or easily breakable spots. It comes with a very impressive mic, and the sound quality is also tailored nicely for gaming. To top it all off, the passive noise isolation is very good, and the majority of people also seem to find it a really comfortable headset.
If you’re looking for a premium gaming headset that’ll get the job done without any gimmicks, this is a great buy. It’s also available as a wired version. That one is being sold at a 35% discount right now.
HyperX Cloud II
$79.99 -> $66.99 on Amazon | $39.00 on HyperX.com
The HyperX Cloud II was the king of gaming headsets for many, many years. It was released almost ten years ago, and it was the de facto standard issue gaming headset since its release. Nowadays, it still gets recommended a ton, and it’s still selling really well.
It does need to be said that it’s not as impressive in today’s market as it was back when it released. That’s only logical of course: technology progresses, after all. The mic is subpar according to today’s standards, and the sound isn’t the undisputed best in its price range any longer.
Most of what made (and still makes) the Cloud II so popular still rings true, though. It’s an extremely reliable and comfortable gaming headset that’s built like a tank. There’s no messing around with any EQs or settings. Plug it in, and get to gaming. What you see (or rather: what you hear) is what you get.
HyperX Cloud II Core Wireless
$119.99 -> $76.49 on Amazon
If you like the idea of the HyperX Cloud II but you can’t stand gaming with a cord, the Cloud II Core Wireless might be a good option.
This is the wireless version of the famous Cloud II. It has the same driver size, that same no-nonsense design and approach to audio, and the same comfy fit. Being wireless, it’s obviously more expensive than the wired version, but with this sale you can snag a wireless Cloud II for the same price as a non-discounted wired Cloud II. A good deal if you ask us.
beyerdynamic DT 990 Pro
$157.99 -> $159.99 on Amazon
We always say that you don’t necessarily need a gaming-branded headset for gaming. A headset is quite simply a lot more convenient for most users, but it’s perfectly possible to go for a regular headphone along with an external mic.
The beyerdynamic DT 990 pro’s popularity in the pro scene is proof of this. It’s a pair of headphones made by a brand that has nothing to do with gaming. The DT 990 Pro is a well-known product in musician circles due to its excellent audio performance, so naturally it’s also a good fit for gamers.
If you’re looking for a pair of headphones that works well for gaming and also allows you to listen to your favorite tunes like they were meant to be listened to, this is a good option.
Monitors
Samsung Odyssey G65B
$699.99 -> $269.99 on Amazon
The Samsung Odyssey line is pretty popular with pro gamers. And if you’re looking for one yourself now is definitely the time. With a whopping 62% discount, the Odyssey G65B can be bought at an extremely wallet-friendly price.
This 1140p gaming monitor has a 240Hz refresh rate and a beautiful curved display. It’s not the absolute best when it comes to response times, so if you’re looking for a super speedy gaming monitor then this isn’t it. However, if you want a monitor that’s going to be great for gaming as well as content consumption then this is a fantastic pick up.
Samsung Odyssey G4
$349.99 -> $199.49 on Amazon
A lot of pro gamers use TN panels since those have historically been the fastest panels out there. However, they are not the best for color reproduction. If you want a monitor that’s kind of a ‘best of both worlds’ type of deal, the Samsung Odyssey G4 is a great choice.
It has an IPS panel (which is better for color reproduction than a TN panel) and it sports a refresh rate of 240Hz, making it very much suited for competitive gaming. It’s not going to be as responsive and quick as gaming monitors dedicated towards hardcore competitive players, but it’s a great option for people who don’t want to sacrifice image quality for performance too much.
ASUS TUF VG259QM
$249.99 -> $179.00 on Amazon
If you’re a dedicated competitive gamer and you want an affordable monitor that’s going to perform really nicely for competitive games without making too much of a sacrifice in terms of image quality, the TUF Gaming VG259QM is a good call.
It’s a 24.5 inch 1080p 280Hz monitor with a fast IPS panel. The lower resolution and lack of any extra features such a curved screen or larger panel make it a very affordable option for people who are looking to get a high performance panel.
ASUS TUF VG248QG
$169.00 -> $129.00 on Amazon
The ASUS VG248 line has been one of the best budget high refresh rate monitors for many years now. This latest VG248QG nicely carries on that tradition.
It’s a 1080p monitor with a refresh rate of 165Hz. It’s absolutely not going to wow you with its impressive visuals, and it’s also certainly not the fastest monitor money can buy.
However, you can get yourself a really nice entry-level high refresh rate monitor for the price of two newly released games. That’s a really good deal if you ask us.
Chairs
Secretlab Titan EVO
$549.00 -> $519.00 on Secretlab’s website
Secretlab is the most successful chair brand in the pro gaming scene. It has been for quite some time too. Their Titan EVO line is a high quality office chair with tons of research and experience behind it, and it can rightfully be called one of the best office chairs out there at its price point.
Secretlab is currently offering discounts on pretty much all of their products. Depending on the specific chair finish, you might find an even deeper discount than what’s listed above.
If you’re shopping for a new office chair, now might be the time to pull the trigger.
Razer Iskur V2
$649.00 -> $609.00 on Amazon
The Iskur V2 is one of the most popular gaming chairs in pro gaming, and for good reason. It’s well built, is adjustable in all the right ways, and it has a very impressive lumbar support system.
In the world of (gaming) chairs, there are tons of companies who are trying to make a quick buck by offering subpar products, but the Iskur V2 definitely isn’t part of that group. It’s a very high quality office chair, and if you’re looking for a racing-styled gaming chair this is a great option to consider.
