This is still an expensive keyboard, but it used to be way more expensive

The Asus ROG Falcata is a split-design Hall effect wireless keyboard; translation, a very expensive one. I love it, but at launch I couldn’t quite justify that $419.99 MSRP enough to truly recommend it to anyone who didn’t already have their heart set on picking up the best magnetic switches I’ve used so far.
That might still be true today, but this $140 discount is certainly bringing far more players into the fray. The Falcata is down to $279.99 at Best Buy for Black Friday, $100 cheaper than I’ve ever seen it before.

$500 off one of Duncan’s favorite PCs
(Image credit: Future / Duncan Robertson)
It’s the cooling inside the NZXT Player Three that’s earned it a spot in Duncan’s top gaming PC recommendations list. Now an RTX 5080 configuration of this premium rig is down to $2,649 at the brand’s own store. That’s a little more expensive than generic brands you’ll find on Newegg, but if you’re after a prebuilt system and you want to make sure you’re getting a solid configuration it’s a safe bet.

A $300 discount on a Samsung OLED panel
(Image credit: Future / Phil Hayton)
This is the best 1440p gaming monitor Phil has tested so far, offering a vibrancy and color contrast you’ll usually find on far more expensive panels. That’s going off MSRP, right now the Samsung Odyssey OLED G6 is $300 off.
This is the first time I’ve seen this 27-inch model drop below $500 – you’re normally looking at a $530 sales price on this model, and that’s on a good day. If you’re in the market for a new screen and don’t need to move up to 4K, this is our top pick right now.

The best value PC controller Duncan’s tested just got cheaper
(Image credit: Future / Duncan Robertson)
The GameSir Cyclone 2 comes with TMR thumbsticks, plenty of extra buttons, a sturdy wireless connection, and a charging dock in the box. It does all that for less than $60 and that’s on a bad day. Today’s not a bad day, Black Friday deals are dropping that $59.99 MSRP down to $43.69 at Walmart right now, scoring you the best value gamepad in Duncan’s roster for a record-low price.
This one’s primarily for PC players, but Nintendo fans will also be glad to know it’s certified for the Nintendo Switch 2 as well. That’s not as easy to find as you might think.

This Kirby deal is already running out of stock
(Image credit: Nintendo)
Since I first found it, stock on this Kirby’s Return to Dream Land Deluxe deal has started to run thin. Amazon is now completely out of the $30 title, but Walmart has come to the rescue. You’ll still find this $30 discount alive and well, but things could move fast.

Alan Wake 2 Deluxe Edition is a must-see I reckon

If you haven’t played Alan Wake 2 yet you must have been stuck in the Dark Place. Helpfully, especially if you missed it on PS Plus last month, the Deluxe Edition is on sale for a record-low price this Black Friday. You’ll find the bumper pack (with Night Springs and Lake House expansions) available for $39.87 at Amazon right now, $20 off its $59.99 MSRP. I’m just about to finish my first playthrough and it’s an easy recommendation from where I’m sitting.

Retailer Spotlight: Best Buy
(Image credit: Best Buy)
While typically slightly more expensive than Amazon and Walmart year-round, when Best Buy does discount a product it sometimes undercuts both competitors – especially when it comes to gaming laptops and PCs.
In fact, I use Best Buy to find the highest value gaming laptop deals regularly – the store seems to have a much more focused selection of newer models, with no strange configurations and dodgy price tags. Amazon and Walmart are a little wild in this arena, so it’s always best to stick with Best Buy’s more curated shelves unless you’ve been following the price of a machine for a while.
Best Buy does sometimes go harder on game deals than Amazon and Walmart, and that’s certainly true in 2025. Not only am I seeing lower prices here generally, but stock is holding out a little longer. Elsewhere, it’s often found price matching with Amazon for items like gaming headsets, keyboards, mice, and controllers – sometimes with extra subscriptions thrown in for free.
Like Amazon Prime, Best Buy’s Plus members can also access exclusive discounts or additional savings on a range of products – as well as extra tech support.

Let’s talk about the DualSense Edge
(Image credit: Future / Duncan Robertson)
The DualSense Edge is on sale for $169.99 right now, a solid discount by itself but there’s one problem. It was $159.99 this time last week. That means this isn’t necessarily one I’d jump on straight away – even though we rarely see any discounts on Sony’s pro gamepad. Instead, I’d either wait and see what it does tomorrow or, even better, opt for the Victrix Pro BFG.
You’re spending less than $100 on PDP’s competitor, and still grabbing a controller Duncan rates higher than the DualSense Edge.

A wireless Xbox Series X headset under $100
(Image credit: Future)
Just a couple of years ago that would have been pretty difficult to find, outside of Microsoft’s own device. However, the Turtle Beach Stealth 600 remains one of the best sets of cups we’ve tested this year so far, and it just so happens to be at its lowest price yet. The $109.99 device doesn’t try anything fancy, but does deliver on quality and ease of us – if you’re after a mid-range headset you don’t need much more than that.
You’ll find a $20 discount dropping that MSRP down to $88.99 at Amazon this Black Friday, a smaller saving but a particularly tasty one nonetheless.

Paper Mario: The Thousand Year Door is one of Mario’s best adventures according to us GamesRadar+ folk, and it’s been at the top of my shopping list since I finished The Origami King. Best Buy has a tempting offer for all of us this Black Friday; $30 off the cart.
You’ll find it available for just $29.99 right now. That’s a rare price low – these games often cap out at around $50 during day to day sales.

My go-to Logitech gaming mouse at its lowest price yet
(Image credit: Future)
I’ll come out and say it. I’ve never really got on with Logitech gaming mice. Their flat, straight designs always feel just a little too rigid and uncomfortable in my hands, despite feeling great at the same time. That’s why the Logitech G Pro X Superlight 2 DEX is my go-to. It keeps those super crispy clicks and that high-end sensor the range is known for, but adds an ergonomic groove to the flank that suits me perfectly.
It’s the best Logitech pointer I’ve tested so far, so I was buzzed to see it back at a record-low price. You’ll find this flagship available for just $129.99 at Amazon right now – that’s only the second time I’ve seen such a discount.

Borderlands 4 is holding onto its record-low price
(Image credit: Gearbox)
Borderlands 4 is still holding firm at its lowest price ever at Amazon. This $47.99 sales price appeared after a brief skirmish with Walmart earlier in the month. Both stores were undercutting each other by a few bucks, but it looks like the latter has fallen out of the race now.
This is the discount you’ve been waiting for if you’re a fan of the classics but didn’t want to dive in with that $69.99 day one price. Is it the most profound game of 2025? No. Is it a hell of a good time? Yep.

This is my favorite gaming laptop, and it’s $560 off
(Image credit: Future)
The HP Omen Max 16 is the best rig I’ve tested in 2025, with benchmarks that outperformed other models in its form factor and a design that remains crisp, vibrant, and slick in any setting I tried. This is the first gaming laptop I recommend to anyone asking for advice, and its RTX 5080 OLED configuration is down to just $2,599.99 right now.

This cheap gaming mouse isn’t in my best list, but only because I was waiting for this discount
(Image credit: Future)
The SteelSeries Rival 3 Wireless Gen 2 feels great in the hand, runs for ages, and keeps up with value for its more affordable sensor. The only issue comes from other mice. This rodent launched at $59.99 earlier this year, only $10 less than the Keychron M7 8K with its superior specs. That kept it out of my top recommendations for most of the year.
I said it in my review and I’ll say it now, this is a dark horse when it’s on sale. Yes, you’ll need to contend with replaceable battery power, but for $40.79 this is a fantastic wireless gaming mouse. Amazon has the best price I’ve seen so far on this pointer for Black Friday.

Silent Hill 2 is cheaper than ever

Silent Hill 2 Remake is one of the best horror titles GamesRadar+ has fought through in recent memory, and it’s no stranger to discounts either. Originally launching at $69.99, this survival classic has been on sale for around $40 for the last couple of months, but has just dipped down to a new record-low of $29.99.

This might be the headset most players should grab this Black Friday
(Image credit: Future/Rosalie Newcombe)
Rosalie raves about the SteelSeries Arctis Nova 3X, and having reviewed the Arctis Nova 5 I can see why. I loved that headset, and all 300+ of its dedicated EQ presets, and the Nova 3 is essentially a newer, cheaper version. You’re getting the sophisticated audio we’ve come to expect from this brand (the Pro model is best set of cups I’ve tested so far) in a cheaper chassis.
This is a $20 discount on the more widely compatible model, so you’re covered for Xbox, PS5, PC, and Nintendo Switch. If you don’t care about Xbox, though, the PlayStation version is $10 cheaper still.

The cheapest OLED gaming monitor Phil recommends on the daily
(Image credit: Future / Phil Hayton)
The KTC G27P6 was already solid value at $579.99, but it’s just taken a record breaking discount down to $449.99 in Amazon’s Black Friday deals. You’re getting this 27-inch panel for $20 less than I’ve ever seen it in previous sales.
It’s a lesser known brand, but KTC actually uses an LG screen in this monitor. That means you’re getting fantastic colors and a slick 240Hz refresh rate for a much lower price than you would a comparable Ultragear model. Yes, the HDR is a bit of a sacrifice, but Phil was still impressed with the overall offering.

I keep this sub-$30 controller on my desk at all times
(Image credit: Future)
I feel like I’m shouting about this controller every Black Friday, but considering you’re spending less than $30 it’s excellent value. I grabbed the EasySMX X10 for its clicky mechanical face buttons (just one look at Razer’s prices for the same feature will explain why), but it’s quickly become my go-to for all my PC gaming.
It’s also compatible with the original Nintendo Switch (there’s rumblings about it working with Switch 2, but I haven’t been able to get it up and running), but I’ve found it can struggle when too far away from its receiver. This is a controller best positioned at your desk, then.

Let’s get some more Switch accessories going
(Image credit: Future)
Two of the best accessories I ever bought for my OG Nintendo Switch are on sale for Black Friday this year; the Razer Barracuda X and Hori Split Pad Pro. If you’re giving your handheld a new lease of life while waiting for the Switch 2 to drop its price, this is where I’d start.
Straight off that Barracuda X headset offers fantastic audio for its price point, as well as a no-fuss wireless connection, sleek subtle design and a sturdy build quality. You’re getting it for $5 cheaper than I usually see it during major sales events as well, at $64.
Next up we’ve got a Joy-Con alternative that made my Switch OLED feel all the more comfortable and kept my inputs precise and accurate. That’s because the Hori Split Pad Pro offers a much chunkier set of grips and a larger control scheme. You do drop rumble, which I missed in Pokemon Legends Arceus, but this is still fantastic value.
