Hottest Cyber Monday Tech Deals
Upgrade your 1080p gaming experience on the cheap - Viewsonic’s 24-inch 120Hz IPS display is $99.99
We’ve seen a lot of monitors go on sale, especially OLEDs. But they can be pretty expensive, as they are among the latest and greatest in monitor technology. Sometimes you just need something better than what you have, that isn't OLED, and a Viewsonic 24-inch sub-$100 120Hz 1080p IPS panel could be just the thing.
You connect to it via HDMI (v1.4, cable included) or VGA (no DisplayPort), but note that VGA limits the refresh rate to 75 Hz. Connectivity includes USB Type-C (supports 15W charging) and two 3.5mm audio jacks. If you don’t have speakers or headphones, the monitor has two 2W speakers built into the frame. The stand also tilts forward by 3 degrees and back by 20 degrees for optimal viewing. - Joe Shields
A few months back, we saw the 4TB 990 Pro drop to around $270, but it's otherwise hovered above $300 since it launched. Despite being a PCIe 4.0 drive, the 990 Pro still tops our list of the best SSDs and it's a top contender in our list of the best PS5 SSDs, and for good reason.
As you can see from the results gathered in our Samsung 990 Pro 4TB review, even the high-capacity version of Samsung's popular drive maintain exceptional performance. - Jake Roach
You only a few hours left to get the SteelSeries Rival 3 at a record-low price of $24
At just $24 — a new record-low price — it's hard to argue with the SteelSeries Rival 3 Gen 2. It tops our list of the best PC peripheral deals for Cyber Monday, mainly due to the fact that it's just so darn cheap. Even the Logitech G502 Hero, which on sale for an excellent price at $37.98, it can't touch how low SteelSeries went with the Rival 3 Gen 2.
Although it's hard to expect high-end performance out of a $24 mouse, the Rival 3 Gen 2 comes with solid specs. The TrueMove Core optical sensor offers a resolution of 8500 DPI, and the mouse weighs in at just 77 grams. This is a wired mouse fit with SteelSeries' lightweight mesh paracord cable, but the wireless version is on sale, as well. - Jake Roach
My favorite controller for PC gaming is 20% off, which is such a great deal I might buy a second one
The layout is similar (basically identical) to an Xbox Series controller, but I love the Cyclone 2 so much because of what's going on under the hood. The silky TMR joysticks have the durability of Hall Effect sticks, and GameSir uses micro switches for the face buttons and D-pad, offering a tactile feedback with each input.
In addition, there are two buttons on the back that you can program on the fly, and you can connect either with the 2.4GHz adapter or Bluetooth. My biggest issue with the controller is the stand. It sucks, and if there GameSir released a new version with a better stand, I would be the first in line to buy it. - Jake Roach
The PlayStation DualSense Edge is 20% off
The DualSense Edge feels better in your hands with rubberized grips, and you can replace the joysticks without any tools. It’s not as good as Hall Effect or TMR, but at least if you suffer from joystick drift you can get a replacement without tossing the entire controller.
Other niceties include a long, braided USB cable, swappable joystick caps at different heights, an included carrying case, and remappable buttons (including back paddles).
For the PS5 gamer in your life who has everything (or the PC gamer who loves PlayStation games when they get ported — and also has everything), this is one way to step up their game. Read our review here. — Andrew E. Freedman
The best CPU deal this weekend is still going strong — get the value-packed Intel Core Ultra 5 245KF for $169.99
The Core Ultra 5 245K (and Arrow Lake more boardly) lags behind Intel's Raptor Lake and Raptor Lake Refresh chips in gaming performance, and it gets clobbered by AMD's X3D offerings. Still, you won't find any of those chips at this price. Arrow Lake hasn't been a big hit for Intel, which has caused a series of price drops that you can benefit from.
Although the gaming performance is a bit behind, the Core Ultra 5 245KF still puts up impressive productivity performance, offering a decent 7% uplift over the Core i5-14600K in single-threaded performance on average, and an 8% improvement in multi-threaded performance despite a thread disadvantage. - Jake Roach
This $800 prebuilt desktop gets you an RTX 5060 and 32GB of RAM
The RTX 5060 is the most important component for gaming performance in this build, and according to our recent data, it should deliver awesome 1080p gaming experiences along with DLSS 4 upscaling and MFG in games that offer it. Just be aware of the limitations of 8GB of VRAM.
And don't forget, this also includes a Windows 11 license, which we don't usually price into builds. — Andrew E. Freedman & Jeff Kampman
Grab the Keychron K10 HE keyboard for $115.99 - full-size Hall Effect keyboard at an all-time low price
The Keychron K10 HE keyboard features a full-size layout with a wood frame on the side, exuding a classic, mature (read: no RGBs), premium vibe. And since it’s without RGBs, Magnetic keyboards are the next best thing, and it’s rare to see one, specifically a full-size magnetic keyboard, at this price point. Usually $145, it’s $115.99 (20% off) right now.
Under the Double-Shot PBT keycaps are Gateron double-rail magnetic switches that deliver lightning-fast response (0.1mm press sensitivity) and adjustable actuation point for per-key customization. I can tell you firsthand that once you get things configured, and that can be a process to customize each key if you want, you may never go back to mechanical switches. The flexibility you have with this key type is, nearly limitless.
The Keychron H10 comes in three flavors: the special edition black or white with wood panels, or the ‘standard version’ that’s black with RGB backlighting. Move into the future of keyboards with the Keychron K10 HE, one of the least expensive full-size Hall effect keyboards we’ve come across. - Joe Shields
Act fast to get a 32GB kit of Corsair Vengeance RGB DDR5-6400 for $300
Although DDR5-6000 is the "sweet spot," this kit comes with with similar latency. The timings of 36-48-48-104 are solid, so you come out with a similar latency as your standard DDR5-6000 CL38 kit. Even if it wasn't ideal, I wouldn't pass this deal up. We certainly won't see it for long. - Jake Roach
Grab the Keychron K10 HE keyboard for $115.99 - full-size Hall Effect keyboard at an all-time low price

Gigabyte’s RTX 5090 laptop is $900 off
When we reviewed this system, we appreciated the strong gaming performance, bright display, and room for an additional SSD for upgrades later on. We did find the design to be overly plasticky and the GiMate AI to be a total gimmick. Still, drivers have improved since we reviewed it, negating our. Red Dead Redemption 2 performance crash. See some of our testing below:
So no, RTX 5090 gaming laptops haven't gotten cheap, but a $900 discount is nothing to sneeze at. — Andrew E. Freedman
Never buy a PC tool again
I own the Mako Driver from iFixit, essentially the screwdriver portion of this kit, and it is pretty fantastic. I just wish I had the bigger version with more bits. You can live my dream with this 20% saving. — Stephen Warwick
Get an Asus ZenWiFi tri-band Wi-Fi 7 mesh router system for just $290
We’ve seen a lot of deals on Wi-Fi routers over the past week and during Black Friday. Today, for Cyber Monday, Amazon is running a stunningly good promotion on the Asus ZenWiFi BT6 Wi-Fi 7 mesh router (two-pack). When we last covered this router during Prime Day in July, it was selling for $384. But today, it’s on sale for $289.99, 40 percent off its list price.
Regarding wired connectivity, each wireless node features a single 2.5 GbE WAN port, three GbE LAN ports, and a USB-A 3.0 port. The BT6 supports a wired backhaul, but you’ll be limited to 1 Gbps speeds between the nodes. That’s something to consider if you were planning to use a wired backhaul to improve overall network performance.
That said, the BT6 includes the excellent AsusWRT software, which offers a wealth of configuration options for your wireless and wired networks. It even supports tethering your smartphone via the USB port to provide internet access if your primary ISP goes offline. In addition, the BT6 supports remote management and can be set up and configured via a smartphone app or a traditional web browser GUI. — Brandon Hill
Steam Deck and Lenovo Legion Go S see price cuts on Cyber Monday
Direct from Steam, the entry-level Steam Deck is on sale for $319.20 through December 1 at 10 a.m. PT / 1 p.m. ET.
Despite being almost four years old, the Steam Deck still plays most games on Steam. The Steam Deck OLED has a nicer screen, but the regular Steam Deck offers the same performance. — Andrew E. Freedman
MacBook Air with M2 and 16GB of RAM down to $599
While Walmart is selling the M1 MacBook Air for $549, we’ve previously suggested saving up for the $749 M4 model instead to get better performance, a more modern design, and an improved 13.6-inch, 2560 x 1664 screen. But now, Best Buy has the M2 MacBook Air marked down to $599.
The M4 is by far a still more advanced chip, but the M2 model is still worth a deal if you can’t afford the extra cash. This MacBook Air was the first one to receive the latest design, including MagSafe, a keyboard with full-sized function keys, and yes, the camera notch.
This system has an 8-core CPU, 8-core GPU, 16GB of RAM (enough for Apple Intelligence features), and 256GB of SSD storage. Read our review of the M2 MacBook Air here.
The M2 chip still has enough performance for most people, as long as you’re not doing anything too intense. If you use multiple monitors, however, keep in mind that this system only supports a single external display. — Andrew E. Freedman
Nintendo Switch 2 Mario Kart World Bundle drops $50 for Monday
To secure the Cyber Monday pricing at Walmart, you'll need to be logged into your Walmart account (of course) and add the bundle to your shopping cart. Only then will you see the $449 price tag. You can either choose free shipping or pick it up at your local store (subject to inventory availability).
We reviewed the Nintendo Switch 2 in June, and came away impressed with its substantial boost in performance and graphics fidelity (which was expected given the age of the Nvidia Tegra X1 SoC in its predecessor), along with its large screen and backward compatibility. Things we weren't so thrilled about were the relatively short battery life and data transfer speeds that aren't quite up to par.
Buy an ultra-fast SK Hynix Platinum P51 1TB PCIe 5 M.2 SSD for $109.99 before time runs out
If you’re in the market for super-fast M.2 storage at a great price, look no further than SK Hynix’s Platinum P51 drive. Using their in-house PCIe 5.0 SSD controller (8-channel Alistar ACNT093), which supports speeds up to 14,700/13,400 MB/s reads and writes on its 238-layer 3D TLC NAND (up from 176-layer in the P41), makes it one of the fastest on the market. Its current price of $109.99 (with promo code BFEFE96) isn’t quite the lowest ever, but a really fast, sub-$110 PCIe 5 M.2 drive is hard to pass up.
Even though it’s a PCIe 5 drive that generally runs hot, it draws just 10W, making it one of the more efficient options available. This means it’s less likely to throttle under sustained activity and is a good candidate for SFF systems. Hynix stands behind these drives with 2-million-hour MTBF and a long 5-year warranty.
If you’re looking for a fast, efficient, and cost-effective PCIe 5-based M.2 drive, buy the Platinum P51 at $109.99 and enjoy the speed and savings. - Joe Shields
I’ve got one of these and it is always in my pocket!
Just remove the flashlight from the magnetic holder and it turns on, put it back and it turns off. It is as easy as that. The magnetic cap holds the flashlight firmly in place and the flashlight itself is made from aluminum, with a knurled grip to reduce the chance of losing it. The base of the flashlight is magnetic, so you can stick it inside a PC case as you work on it.
How do I charge it? The magnetic cap has a USB A interface that just plugs into a port and charges up the flashlight. Very easy, and there is always a spare USB A port in our lives.
I bought one of these earlier in the year, and it is always in my pocket, ready to light my path, search under the sofa, and to light my work as I take apart a PC. – Les Pounder
Trim elephant’s foot from your 3D prints with this pro-quality deburring tool
Finish off your 3D prints like a professional, but don’t spend pro prices with this high-quality AFA deburring tool.
Post-processing a 3D print can range from a full paint-job (cleaning, priming, layering paints, weathering, etc) to just pulling the print off the bed and cleaning off the edges. The latter is commonly known as “Elephant’s foot,” and it's where the first layer hasn’t fully cooled, and the weight of subsequent layers presses the plastic down and out.
This is the deburring tool that I personally use, and it has been a project saver on more than a few occasions. I printed a plethora of Star Trek communicator badges with a brim that wasn’t needed, so I had to clean the brims from the edges. Sure, I can use a knife, but the missing 2mm off my left middle finger tells me that is a bad idea. A deburring tool follows the outline of the object, while the blade removes thin layers from the object.
Once you use one, you will never go back to using a knife. Treat yourself and finish your 3D prints with this quality tool. – Les Pounder

I’ve bought so much Elegoo Rapid PETG lately, and this is a great deal!
Four 1KG spools of PETG filament for $39 is a decent price, but when it’s Rapid PETG, it is an even better bargain, thanks to this deal at Amazon. Typically, a roll is $15, so you are getting one roll for free. Just note that to access the deal, you must be an Amazon Prime member.
As 3D printers get faster, they chew through filament at a higher rate and not all filaments are designed to handle the increased demand of a hungry extruder. Rapid PETG is designed for faster 3D printers such as the Elegoo Centauri Carbon and it can work up to 600MM/s. I’ve used this filament for many projects including my PC server case, a recent super-sized “Lego” holiday wreath and tool holders around my workshop. All of which were printed on an Elegoo Centauri Carbon.
PETG is a tough thermoplastic. It has similar strength to ABS (but without the stink) and prints as easily as PLA. PETG is more for functional projects than decorative. That said, PETG’s shine can be aesthetically pleasing for certain projects and persons.
This is the filament that you always keep in stock, for those projects that need strength and for when you need to build a functional project there and then. – Les Pounder
Kids and grown-ups love it so, the tasty world of Haribo’s GaN USB C PD charger
Ok, Haribo didn’t actually make this USB charger; an OEM made it for them. Let Haribo stick to making tasty treats instead of dabbling in GaN chargers.
This 65W GaN wall charger supports PD and QC charging specifications and has three ports. Two USB-C ports support up to 65W, and the single USB-A supports up to 30W. You can charge multiple devices at the same time, but the 65W will be observed and shared across all the active ports.
USB C Ports: 5V at 3A, 9V at 3A, 12V at 3A, 15V at 3A and 20V at 3.25A.
USB A Port: 5V at 3A, 9V at 3A and 12V at 3A.
Measuring 3.8 x 1.4 x 1.5 inches, this is a pretty compact charger. But with the tractable mains pins, the unit shrinks to 3.3 x 1.4 x 1.5 inches. Handy for throwing in your bag, the chargers come only in white, but you do have a choice of blue or red Haribo bear. Sadly, the bear is not edible, and I’d take the bear off if using this charger with any children around.
A cheap and genuinely useful addition to your Cyber Monday shopping basket. – Les Pounder
AMD’s 9800X3D Newegg bundle offers free 240mm AIO for just $20 over its lowest price
If you’re upgrading your PC this Cyber Monday, then you can’t really do any better for gaming workloads than the AMD Ryzen 9 9800X3D. The eight-core CPU operates at a rapid 5.2GHz boost clock, and drinks up to 120W of power for optimal gaming performance. We don’t need to wax lyrical about this chip much more than we already have. But, this deal from Newegg bundles the performant processor up with a Montech Hyperflow ARGB 240 AIO, totalling just $20 more than the cheapest-ever price that we’ve spotted the CPU for. In total, the Newegg bundle costs $479.99 for the pair of parts.
The included cooler is also currently on sale at Newegg for $70, so the total saving you’re getting makes this bundle well worth it. If you split out these prices, then you’re essentially getting a Ryzen 9 9800X3D for $409, which is an absolutely unmissable deal, especially if you were on the market for a cooler to accompany the CPU anyway.
Since you’ve probably already done all of your research on how great the 9800X3D is, the question becomes whether that Montech Hyperflow 240mm AIO is actually worth the price. In our four-star review, we said that the cooler could more than handle demanding CPUs like the Intel i7-14700K, which boosts to a total of 253 watts, meaning that it’ll manage to cool the 120W 9800X3D without breaking a sweat. We’ve dropped some performance numbers for you to peruse below.
Expect solid cooling performance, noise levels at default fan curves, and overall sustained load temperatures to remain good, with the Montech Hyperflow ARGB 240 AIO. This makes the bundle offer really great value, especially as the cooler itself is also discounted within our calculations. Be sure to grab this offer at Newegg while you can; it’s bound to be popular. — Sayem Ahmed
We loved this premium magnetic hall-effect keyboard, and it’s dropped under $100 at Amazon for Cyber Monday
The Arbiter Studio Polar 75 Pro is one of those newfangled magnetic keyboards that use hall-effect switches for additional accuracy, and a metric ton of features. But just because a keyboard is gaming-focused, doesn’t mean it has to have a poor typing experience, and this board is great at both.
The compact tenkeyless layout is good for both productivity and gaming, and the board itself is a little heavier than a traditional gaming keyboard, thanks to the CNC-milled aluminum frame. The premium build quality is just the cherry on top of this excellent keyboard. Additionally, you don’t even need to install any software to configure it, as it can all be done through a web app.
Our 4.5-star review also awarded the Polar 75 Pro our editor’s choice badge, and I’ve personally also used the board. And if I were to reach for a specific gaming keyboard on my shelf and abandon my beloved Alice layout, I would immediately reach for the Polar 75 Pro. — Sayem Ahmed
This Minnow is a big deal for Cyber Monday
- 2 x Flathead / Slot (1mm and 2.5mm)
- 2 x Pentalobe (P2, P5)
- 1 x SIM Eject
- 3 x Torx (TR6, TR8, TR10)
- 1 x iPhone Standoff
- 3 x Phillips (#0, #000. #1)
- 3 x Torx (T3, T4, T5)
- 2 x Tri-point (Y000, Y0)
That’s a lot of useful bits to carry around. The ergonomic bit driver has a plastic handle with a knurled grip, so you’re not going to slip! The swivel top makes easy work of putting the pressure on the screw head. The case closes with a magnetic lock, and the lid doubles as somewhere to keep track of the screws that you are removing.
This is a cheap price for a quality bit of kit, and you should grab one to gift this holiday season. – Les Pounder
Creative Pebble V3 USB-C desktop speakers get 20% Cyber Monday discount
Getting good desktop audio doesn’t mean shelling out loads on a big set equipped with subwoofers. I’ve been using the Creative Pebble lineup for years, and have never really wanted more out of my desktop audio setup. Of course, given the lack of a dedicated sub, you’re not going to get the deepest thumping bass out there, but given the smaller size and light desktop footprint, it can fit into just about any setup.
Discounted to just $35.99 at Amazon, the Creative Pebble V3 also offers Bluetooth support, if you’re not keen on using the standard USB-C or 3.5mm connector. At this price, this is a big upgrade on pretty much any built-in monitor speakers you might already have. So, if you’re without a pair and you’re looking for something good enough without splashing a load of cash on a beefier setup, this is a great option.
Featuring a rounded, sleek design, the appropriately-named Creative Pebble will look great in just about any setup. The angled 45-degree design points directly toward you, offering a solid audio experience.
In my first-hand experience with using the older V2 model, I’ve played all manner of video game audio, music, and movies, and never once have I thought that I needed more out of my desktop audio. So, at a bargain price of $35.99 over at Amazon right now, these speakers are more than enough for mixed usage for the average user, and they don’t break the bank. — Sayem Ahmed
The massive 24TB Seagate Barracuda is back in at Newegg
The Barracuda isn't the fastest drive on the market, but it is one of the most economical ways to add a ton of storage to a server, your rig, or anywhere else you've got a SATA connection. We've seen this as low as $239, but this is only $20 and crucially, now in stock. — Stephen Warwick
Elgato’s capable webcam is a cut above for an all-time low price at Amazon
The Elgato FaceCam MK.2 has been out for a few years, and if you’re looking for premium quality that plays nice with your existing Elgato-based streaming setup, then this might be a deal you shouldn’t sleep on.
The rectangular design of the Facecam MK.2 might look unattractive to some, but it is deviously lightweight, with a tiny lip that won’t interfere with many monitor bezels. You can also attach it to a different mount, or a tripod with a standard ¼-inch thread. If you’re invested in Elgato’s streaming software, expect seamless support for your accessories. The camera itself is driven by Elgato’s Camera Hub software, and offers precision control over exposure and image, with additional post-processing effects you can turn on or off.
Our 3.5-star review offers detailed tests on what to expect from the Elgato Facecam MK.2. At all-time low pricing at Amazon, this could be the perfect chance to upgrade from that old, rusty webcam that looks like a pixellated blur while in action. — Sayem Ahmed
Razer’s classic Basilisk V3 gaming mouse is 36% off
We reviewed the Basilisk V3 and loved its premium textured finish and shape, the multiple well-placed programmable buttons, and the advanced customizable scrolling wheel, among other features. At 50% off the launch price and now under $30, now is a great time to grab one...or two. - Joe Shields
Snag MSI's MPG A850GS PCIE5 power supply for an all-time low of $79.99 on Cyber Monday
As the name implies, it fully supports the newest standards, including ATX 3.1 and PCIe 5.1. MSI gives you TWO 12V-2x6 cables to connect to your shiny new video card. And the best part, it's whisper quiet with a Cybentics A++, rating. Their highest (or quietest) noise rating. Like its big brother who is also on sale, the semi-digital platform is efficient, earning 80+ Gold and Cybenetics Gold certifications, operating at high efficiency levels.
For $79.99 after rebate ($89.99 out the door), it’s a good deal on a high-quality power supply with plenty of cables and power to drive anything not named RTX 5090. With purchase, you can also redeem a $30 steam code that sweetens the pot even more. — Joe Shields
Some of the best color accuracy out of the box — Dell's QD-OLED monitor is a sure-fire winner at all-time low pricing
You can pick up this delicious screen at Dell for just $649, saving $150 off the list price. This puts the pricing of this QD-OLED monitor in line with the competition, plus you get outstanding features like its blisteringly fast 240Hz refresh rate and Dell warranty.
Upgrade to an all-SSD NAS with the first sale ever on Terramaster's SSD NAS enclosures
I've been using the F8 SSD Plus for just shy of a year, hosting my local Plex server and a small photo backup. I mainly interact with my storage through a network drive in Windows, but Terramaster offers its TOS web interface, as well. It does the job, but I prefer to manage my NAS through Windows if I can.
As the name suggests, the F4 SSD gives your four M.2 slots, while the F8 SSD Plus gives you eight, all of which support up to an 8TB drive. That gives you a total of either 32TB or 64TB of maximum storage depending on which model you go with.
The F4 SSD should do the job for a local Plex server, and it's certainly enough for backup with an Intel N95, 8GB of DDR5, and a 5-Gigabit Ethernet connection. If you spring for the F8 SSD Plus, you get a Core i3-N305, 16GB of DDR5, and a 10-Gigabit port. - Jake Roach
Let your cat lay on your PC with the lowest price ever on the Lian Li O11 Vision
Like other Lian Li designs in the O11 lineage, the Vision is extremely easy to build in. The removable motherboard tray lets you build outside the case, and you can install the motherboard in either a low or high position, giving you more options for cooling. The side bracket next to the motherboard tray is also removable, so you can easily screw in an AIO without wrestling with the case.
But, really, the tempered glass is what makes the O11 Vision such a showstopper. The front, side, and top are fully adorned in glass, taking the fishbowl effect of something like the Hyte Y60 to a new level. - Jake Roach
The Asus ROG Strix Scope II 96 is your best intro to enthusiast keyboards, and it's down to its lowest price ever
It's not on the level of something like the expensive Glorious GMMK 3, but it's also much cheaper. On Cyber Monday, you can save $50 off the list price, and if you pick up the keyboard at Newegg, you can save an additional $5 off with code BFE2288.
In addition to internal dampening material that absorbs the dreaded ping indicative of gaming keyboards, the Strix Scope II 96 comes with tri-mode connectivity, hot-swappable switches, and an included faux leather wrist rest that attaches magnetically to the front of the keyboard. - Jake Roach
I've had good luck with this no-name USB4 cable, and it's on sale again for less than $13
If you're an IT professional who needs fast cables every day, I'd of course recommend spending more for name-brand cables. But I've used this $12 USB4 cable 10-15 times this year to charge my laptop, test USB-4 SSDs, and connect to my portable monitor and it's worked flawlessly for me so far. Because it's braided, it's a little stiffer than rubber cables, but I don't mind that. It's yet another way I always know I'm using the right cable for my high speed, high-power needs. -- Matt Safford
Throw away your dangling USB-C hub with this 10-in-1 hub and volume knob that's 34% off
The best Cyber Monday deals are usually the odds and ends you stumble upon when looking for the gear you want to buy, and that's certainly the case with the TobenOne 10-in-1 docking station and volume knob. Everything you need to know about it is written on the tin — it's a USB-C hub, fit with power delivery and all the connections you could need, built into a volume knob.
For connections, let's count them out. You get HDMI 2.0, two USB-C ports (one of which supports 90W of power delivery, two USB 3.0 ports, a 3.5mm headphone jack, Gigabit Ethernet, an SD card slot, and a micro SD card slot. That's nine, so I guess TobenOne is getting the 10-in-1 claim either from the volume knob or the USB-C port that runs to your machine.
Regardless, you get five shortcuts around the volume knob. The knob itself is a button, and there are four more situated around it. And, to make sure you're ready out of the box, TobenOne includes a 100W USB-C adapter so you're ready to go. - Jake Roach
Crucial's excellent 2TB X1 Pro SSD hits a stellar all-time low $134
In our testing, Crucial's drive performed well in both real-world and synthetic tests. But it truly stood out in sustained writes, which are important for professional workloads, and often the Achilles heel of cheaper storage drives. In our Iometer test, the drive wrote at speeds above 1750 MBps for over 11 minutes before dropping to a still-fast 1400 MBps for the rest of the 30-minute test run.
This makes the X10 Pro a great drive for video editors and content creators who are often filling entire drives with raw footage or moving huge libraries from one drive to another. It's also a great size for traveling light, as it's half the size or less than competing drives from LaCie and SanDisk. -- Matt Safford
A $600 price cut on the HP Omen 16 knocks it down below $800
You shouldn't expect top-tier performance, but the RTX 5050 is still capable of driving the 1920 x 1200 internal display at 165Hz. This is HP's designed "slim" model of the Omen 16, which it debuted earlier this year, 16% slimmer than the original Omen 16 while carrying similar components. AT $799, the Omen 16 Slim is down to its lowest price we've ever seen, shaving $50 off the previous low we spotted earlier this year.
Outside the core components, you get an Ethernet jack, an array of USB 3.2 ports, and an HDMI 2.1 connection. It's a solid laptop, and although this is the entry-level configuration, you don't normally see current-gen components in a gaming laptop under $1,000, much less at $799. - Jake Roach
Turn your PC into a Wi-Fi 6E-capable machine for just 45 bucks
For more about why you might (or might not) want to opt for the 6E version of this card over the cheaper, older Wi-Fi 6 model, see our explainer about the differences between the two standards. Of course, Wi-Fi 7 is the newest standard, but higher-end routers that support those features are still expensive, and most of your devices probably don't support Wi-Fi 7 yet, anyway. So you're unlikely to regret getting an "older" Wi-Fi 6 card anytime soon, especially at these reduced prices. -- Matt Safford
The new Hoto PixelDrive Electric Screwdriver has just come out, and it is already 25% off!
Unlike the older model, owned by at least three Tom's Hardware editors, the PixelDrive has dual speed control. A half-press of the button provides 80 RPM; a full press gives you 200 RPM. The older model is still a great piece of tech, and right now it is on sale for under $30! You don't get the screen or the dual-speed control, but it is an absolutely solid piece of tech that's served me well for nearly two years. That includes recently moving home. I assembled so much furniture with my Hoto screwdriver!
The 2,000mAh battery is charged via USB-C, and in the kit you get a 30-piece bit set with common bits such as Philips, Pozi, Slot and Hex. You also get some uncommon bits in the form of Torx security bits. Of course, you'll be able to use your regular 1/4 inch screwdriver bits with the PixelDrive.
We've got one in for review, and it has already been used to assemble a large nine-drawer dresser that took about five hours, and the battery life dropped from 93% to 33%. So it definitely has staying power for large projects. Expect more info soon.
If you build a lot of PCs, then the Hoto PixelDrive will save your arm a lot of work. — Les Pounder
Hang your headphones and charge your phone for just $12
Do-it-all devices that pull together disparate features often turn out to be junk. But it’s hard to discount a $15 device that combines an under-the-desk headset hanger/cable holder and a three-port 20W PD USB charging hub. Cozoo's device ships with both 3M tape and screws for mounting under your desk, as well as cable tie-downs to help make the setup as tidy as possible.
Mine has been stuck under my treadmill desk for over two years now, using the 3M tape option, and it shows no signs of falling off. Given the price (and the fact that we’ve never heard of the brand before), we wouldn’t expect the audio circuitry/cabling to be top-notch. But again, I've been using mine occasionally now for years, with no sign of any power issues. — Matt Safford
Don't sleep on this $999 gaming PC deal with an RX 9060 XT 16GB and Ryzen 7 9700X
The Skytech Nebula 2 gaming PC features the AMD Ryzen 7 9700X CPU, an AMD RX 9060 XT with 16GB, 32 GB of DDR5-5200, a 240mm all-in-one liquid cooler, a gold-rated 650W PSU, and a 1 TB NVMe SSD, packed into what appears to be a mid-tower form factor.
At this spec, you should expect decent performance from the PC at resolutions of up to 1440p in most modern titles. The product listing also mentions that the system ships bloatware-free and ships with Windows 11. Combined with the parts featured, it's a decent bargain for the budget-conscious PC buyer. — Sayem Ahmed
A near-$1,000 RTX 5060 laptop for Cyber Monday
Gaming laptops at or around $1,000 with recent parts have become harder and harder to find. But for Cyber Monday, there are some slight price drops putting systems in reach.
Gigabyte's A16 gaming laptop, with an Nvidia GeForce RTX 5060, Intel Core i7-13620H, 16GB of RAM, and a 1TB SSD, is down to $1,049.99 — $50 off of its usual price. That's pretty good for a system with a mid-range card.
When it comes to GPUs in gaming laptops around $1,000, we'd typically see an RTX 5050, if not a previous-generation card, so this is a step up. The 13th Gen Intel Core chips are as good for gaming as current-generation Core Ultras. And with 16GB of RAM, well, at least you won't have to upgrade immediately? — Andrew E. Freedman
A budget-friendly 1440p curved gaming monitor from MSI for less than $140 for Cyber Monday
Hidden within this sub-$140 monitor is that headline-grabbing top 2,560 x 1,440 resolution, ensuring that you can display your favorite games at 1440p, as long as you've got a PC that can handle it. This MSI MAG display is curved, with a 1500R curvature, which means it has a radius of 1.5 meters, all to help you with that added immersion.
Meanwhile, the 180Hz refresh rate will ensure that any fast visuals stay smooth and fluid in your favorite games. It's rated as HDR ready, which isn't quite the full HDR experience, but will provide a boost to color vibrancy. This MSI MAG monitor does use a VA panel, which are typically rated for slower response times and lower black levels. That should offer you a higher contrast image, and because this is technically 'rapid VA,' you're not stuck with a slow response time here either, with the monitor rated for 0.5ms.
If you're looking for a 1440p display that you can game on from a known brand this Cyber Monday, this MSI MAG 275CQF E18 model should certainly be a contender, especially for just $139.99. -- Ben Stockton
Grab more Xbox storage at an all-time low price
This price of $184.76 is the lowest recorded on this 2TB configuration according to price tracking, a fresh deal for Sunday ahead of Cyber Monday. — Stephen Warwick
One of my favorite 100W GaN chargers is on sale for $35, and Baseus throws in a small 30W charger for free
With a 100W max total output, three USB-C ports, and USB-A, plus a detachable two-outlet mini power strip, this GaN charger from Baseus is a great charger for travel and home use. It's currently 40% off at Amazon, down to $35.99. But to make the deal even sweeter, when you add this charger to your cart, you can claim a 30W compact dual-port charger for free, making this one of the best charger deals I've seen during this extended deals season.
I own the lesser 67W version of this charger, and it's one of my favorite travel chargers. I tend to bring the small charging brick with me, and leave the two-outlet power strip at home. The only thing I don't like is that the power prongs don't fold down into the charger. But that's a pretty minor inconvenience.
Note that to get this 30W charger for free (currently selling for $15 on its own), you have to put both into your cart before checking out. So don't forget to claim your free charger before hitting that buy button. --Matt Safford
Stop wasting money on disposable batteries. Powerowl's rechargeable AAs and AAAs are surprisingly cheap.
When I first started using rechargeable batteries in the early 90s (in my Walkman and Game Boy), they were kind of awful --- but still better than spending every allowance on fresh batteries. Those cells couldn't hold a charge and didn't last nearly as long as name-brand disposable batteries. But here in the mid-2020s, rechargeables are surprisingly good.
Panasonic's Eneloops arguably ushered in the rechargeable AA and AAA renaissance, but PowerOwl's batteries are a lot more affordable, and I haven't had a single one fail in close to fice years of using them in my various remotes, smart door locks, and other devices. I own the set below, and have gifted it to friends and family in the past.
For those looking for a quicker charge time and USB-C, as well as higher-rated batteries, PowerOwl also has a new set on sale. You get 8 3600 mWh AA batteries and a USB-C charger that's rated to three hours, for just under $21. This is the kit I would probably buy now. In fact, I just ordered this set myself and am curious to see how it compares to the older charger / batteries. -- Matt Safford
Save up to $300 more on already-discounted iBuyPower gaming PCs, thanks to Cyber Monday
You can check the full list over at our iBuyPower Cyber Monday deals roundup. Running until 11.59 pm PT on December 1 (Cyber Monday), you can score up to $300 off an iBuyPower gaming PC in its big Black Friday and Cyber Monday sale event.
All these, and more, can be yours, but only if you're quick about it. Make sure to buy before the end of Cyber Monday to grab one of these discounted machines for yourself. -- Ben Stockton
Put your PC's power switch where you want with these cheap remote power buttons
As a hardware tester who basically never installs systems in a case, that's right up my alley. So I went and scouted out a couple more of these switches, one of which may finally let me put away the screwdriver when I need to bridge the power pins on my test motherboards. -Jeff Kampman
Stop tossing disposable batteries: Get 8 rechargeable AAs and a charger for $20
Decades ago, rechargeable batteries were kind of awful, but here in the mid-2020s, rechargeables are surprisingly good. Panasonic's Eneloops are arguably the best, but Powerowl's batteries and chargers are a lot more affordable, and I haven't had a single one fail in over five years of using them in my various remotes, smart door locks, and other devices.
If you're also sick of using and tossing disposable batteries, you can pick up a charger and eight AAA Powerowl batteries at Amazon today for just $20 today. That's 10% off what Amazon says is the "typical price."
Powerowl rates these batteries to handle over 1200 charge cycles and retain 70% of their charge for three years without being used. I have a couple of dozen Powerowl batteries that I use in my smart door locks. They are constantly being used or recharged, and they are all still functioning, despite some being five years old. — Matt Safford
This $269 Radeon RX 9060 XT 8GB is the best bang for your Cyber Monday GPU buck
Beyond its solid performance at 1080p, the 9060 XT gets access to AMD's much-improved FSR 4 upscaler in games that support it, and it'll be one of the only cards to start receiving AMD's FSR Redstone improvements when those start rolling out soon.
If you've been on the hunt for an affordable 1080p gaming upgrade, act fast, because it seems like people are starting to get wise to the 9060 XT 8GB's value proposition, and these deep discounts don't remain in stock for long. - Jeff Kampman
It feels like Newegg is hiding this excellent deal: $60 off the mini-ITX Fractal Terra
Our own Matt Safford has spent some hands-on time with the Terra, but I've been using it as my main chassis for over a year now. Despite being just 10.4 liters, I'm able to fit an RTX 5090 and Ryzen 7 9800X3D inside, all without cooling issues. That's largely due to the open-air flow design of the side panels, as well as the adjustable internal spine. You can easily slide the middle bracket to give you more room for your CPU cooler or your GPU, offering a ton of flexibility in your SFF build without adding size.

Spruce up your setup with this Logitech G715 wireless gaming keyboard, discounted by over 40% at Amazon
Discounted by a staggering 41%, dropping the price to $128.98 at Amazon, this wireless keyboard offers something a little bit different compared to many modern boards out there. With a tenkeyless layout and media function row on top, complemented by a volume rocker, this board isn’t just a looker; it’s got some solid functionality built into it.
This keyboard was released as a part of Logitech’s Aurora collection a few years ago, and in our 3.5-star review, we said that it offered up a solid typing experience and premium lighting effects. There’s also a plastic top plate, which you can customize in different colors with aftermarket parts.
With its unique look and aesthetic, this keyboard offers up something a little bit different compared to what’s out there on the market, and looks great while doing it. While it’s a pricey keyboard, the wireless connectivity, customizable RGB, and not entirely terrible Logitech G HUB software make it a dead ringer for those who are after a clean-looking gaming setup. — Sayem Ahmed
A retro monitor hub for your setup
Who doesn't love a bit of retro light relief? For less than $80, you can grab this Hagibis 3.5-inch IPS Mini Screen with USB hub on Cyber Monday. The 960 x 640 display comes with a host of USB ports, HDMI, and even an SD card reader. You can use it as a tiny status display for things like the weather, PC performance monitoring stats like temperatures, or even as a tiny extra screen. — Stephen Warwick
Snatch this capable RTX 5070 equipped gaming laptop for $1200 at Best Buy
The laptop inhabits a really solid middle-ground, as the FHD display is paired well with the RTX 5070 laptop GPU, meaning you won’t be reaching for higher resolutions, or potentially running into that 8GB VRAM wall too often. Combined with the roomy 16-inch screen size and a solid 165Hz refresh rate, it could easily become your next portable battlestation.
The biggest limitation here is the 1TB of NVMe storage, but that can be mitigated if you’re willing to spend on a bigger drive, and open up the laptop. At this price point, this is the laptop’s biggest weakness. However, the rest of the important components are all there, serving as a solid portable system, if you’re willing to uninstall those Steam games every now and again. — Sayem Ahmed
Boost your PC storage with this 4TB NVMe drive for under $250
Right, it’s not all about HDDs and cold storage; sometimes you need a load of quickly accessible, rapid local storage on your system, and that’s where Crucial’s 4TB P310 comes in. It’s not got the latest PCIe 5 speeds, but it’s still plenty fast.
Discounted to just $239.99 at Best Buy, with a saving of $125, this QLC-based drive might have launched as a budget option, and with an extra discount, it becomes easier to forgive some of the drive’s smaller flaws. With a standard 2280 m.2 form-factor, you can put this drive into almost anything, and expect speeds of up to 7,100 MB/s sequential reads, and 6,000 MB/s sequential writes.
In our 3.5-star review, we noted that the single-sided drive struggles while under sustained loads due to its QLC nature. However, its high launch price has been eliminated, thanks to the savings you can get with this deal. The drive also comes with Acronis True Cloud, which might help you transfer data from your older installation drives.
This NVMe might be best suited toward a secondary drive, rather than a primary, if you want a smaller, faster PCIe 5.0 drive to boot from, with the massive 4TB of storage on offer here being a solid option to store your ballooning Steam library. After all, you can’t play any of those games if none of them are installed. This is the cheapest 4TB NVMe we’ve seen this shopping season thus far, so be sure to grab one before the pricing surges hit. — Sayem Ahmed
This $89 LG gaming monitor is incredible value
With Walmart slashing the price of this display by 47%, you're getting a heck of a bargain with these specs. 1080p might seem basic, but as I regularly remind anyone who listens, it's still the majority option for gamers, based on the last Steam hardware survey, meaning you can game with this display using an older PC, too.
To help you play, this display comes with a refresh rate that maxes out at 144Hz using its overclock mode, with a standard rate of 120Hz. Combined with AMD FreeSync and Nvidia G-Sync support, which will sync your refresh rate to your GPU's frame rate, you should experience smooth, fluid visuals with no screen tearing on this display.
Ultimately, though, it's the cost that will drive people to a monitor like this. $89 makes it one of the cheapest models available right now from a brand you'd recognize. If you want a quick, cheap monitor upgrade during this Black Friday weekend, I'd pick this one. — Ben Stockton
Elgato’s useful Stream Deck MK.2 drops to lowest-ever price at Amazon
Elgato’s lineup of creator-focused accessories isn’t strictly just for streamers. The Stream Deck MK.2. fulfills the promise of the old Optimus Maximus keyboard (remember that?), only with significantly fewer keys. Sporting 15 programmable keys with customizable icons, and mature software integrations for a host of applications including Adobe Creative Suite, you can set up macros for whatever apps you need, at the touch of a button.
For those looking to understand the hows and whys behind why the Elgato Stream Deck is so useful, you can take a look at our four-star review, where we praised the Stream Deck for its versatility. You just have to peek over to the user-created plugins on the Elgato Marketplace, which offers community-created functionality for thousands of apps. This breaks the chains of the Elgato Stream Deck MK.2 being a solely creator-focused product, making it suitable for just about anyone who regularly sets up hotkeys and macros for a whole host of applications. — Sayem Ahmed
Rocking a TKL keyboard? This wireless mouse crams in those numbers you’ve been missing for just over $60
If you’ve gone ahead and bought yourself a TKL or smaller keyboard, it can sometimes feel like you’re missing out on the old trusty numpad. Let’s be real, that was the most useful bit of those hulking keyboards, anyway. As a recovering MMO player, I used MMO mice for years before I realized the true value of these little key-filled powerhouses.
At 38% off on Amazon, Razer’s Naga V2 Hyperspeed is a great wireless mouse for maximising functionality, without taking up too much space on your desk. The Naga V2 Hyperspeed offers up 19 programmable buttons, which can be configured in Razer’s Synapse software. The mouse can be hooked up via 2.4GHz or Bluetooth, and boasts up to 400 hours of battery over Bluetooth, or 250 while hooked up to the 2.4GHz dongle.
I’ve been using the Naga V2 Hyperspeed for almost three years now, and have had no issues when sporting it for both work and gaming. Though it comes in as a heavier mouse when compared to the ultra-light models often geared toward FPS titles, you just can’t discount how useful having 19 programmable buttons is, especially if you want to set up and assign macros to them. For example, I use a 65% keyboard, and when I am not gaming, I have the trusty mouse for any numbers and a handful of symbols. In MMO games, I also obviously have way more functionality to hand than I would normally. For merely $62 at Amazon, the Naga V2 HyperSpeed is a total steal, considering the quality-of-life features on offer. — Sayem Ahmed
Save $80 right now on MSI’s MPG A1000GS 80+ Gold power supply, $109.99 for Cyber Monday
MSI’s MPG A1000GS 80+ Gold power supply is now at an all-time low price of A100GS for Cyber Monday sales. The A1000GS is a premium unit that supports the latest ATX 3.1 and PCIe 5.1 standards, including 235% power excursion capability at 100µ, to handle today’s powerful graphics cards, like Nvidia 50 series or AMD 90 series, with ease.
Inside the box, MSI includes a dual native 12V-2x6 connector so you can connect two graphics cards, if needed. You get a wide assortment of cables, including two EPS and a single ATX connector to power the board and CPU, a ‘legacy’ PCIe connector, and cables for SATA and molex connections - you won’t run short on cables.
The larger 135mm FDB (fluid dynamic bearing) fan runs quietly and earns an “A” rating from Cybenetics (also has a zero-fan mode). MSI backs this high-quality power supply with a 10-year warranty. At just under $110, it’s an excellent deal on a modern, quality power supply. - Joe Shields
Anker’s powerful 24,000 mAh dual-USB-C PowerCore power bank deal hits lowest-ever price for Cyber Monday
When traveling, it’s easy to keep your devices charged if you have access to a power outlet. Just plug in a power adapter and a USB cable, and you’re good to go. But what about those times when there’s no wall outlet in sight? That’s where a battery power bank can come in handy, and one of the best ones available is the Anker 737, which is currently just $74.99 at Amazon; the lowest price we’ve ever tracked for this workhorse.
I’ve owned an Anker 737, and I don’t travel without it. It has a permanent spot in my travel bag for those times when I need to top off, whether traveling within the state, cross-country, or even internationally.
But this power bank isn’t just for charging smartphones; I’ve used it to charge my iPad, Apple Watch, and AirPods — sometimes simultaneously. Heck, it will even charge my MacBook Pro with ease (it’s 140W-capable using USB Power Delivery 3.1).
The Anker 737 can charge three devices at once via one USB-A port (18W max) and two USB-C ports (140W max using a single port). One of the two USB-C ports is also used for charging the Anker 737. You can also quickly replenish it from 0 to 100 percent at 140W in just 52 minutes.
However, one of the niftiest features of the power bank is its integrated OLED display. It provides input/output wattage per port, the current battery capacity level, and even the remaining time before the power bank runs out. — Brandon Hill
Razer's wireless all-purpose gaming mouse is now 47% off
The Basilisk V3 Pro may not be Razer’s newest model, but it remains a fantastic all-around gaming mouse, featuring the Focus Pro 30K optical sensor, 11 programmable buttons, a customizable tilt wheel, and 13 zones of vibrant RGB lighting. Right now, you can snag the black version on Amazon for just $84 — 35% off its original $159.99 price.
Since its release in April 2023, the Basilisk V3 Pro has earned its place as a top choice among wireless gaming mice. Designed with a comfortable, ergonomically contoured shape, it is ideal for extended gaming sessions. The mouse features two thumb buttons, a trigger button on the thumb rest, and a versatile tilt wheel capable of switching between notched and free-scrolling modes. Equipped with the Focus Pro 30K optical sensor, it delivers a maximum resolution of 30,000 DPI, a top speed of 750 IPS, and can withstand forces of up to 70 G. — Sarah
You fix it, with iFixit, now with 20% off for Cyber Monday
Inside the rather lovely ABS plastic kit, we get 32 bits and a 4mm driver handle. The top of the driver has a blue swivel cap, to aid in rotational movement, while enabling you to keep the power on the screw. It also contains a magnetic holder for three bits and a SIM ejection tool.
What bits do you get? Here’s the list!
- 3 x Flathead / Slot (1mm, 2.5mm 4mm); 4 x Hex (1.5mm, 2.5mm, 3mm, 4mm); 2 x Nut driver (2.5mm, 5mm); 2 x Pentalobe (P2, P5)
- 1 x SIM Eject; 4 x Torx Security (TR6, TR8, TR10, TR15); 2 x Triangle (2, 3)
- 2 x Gamebit (Console screws, 3.8mm and 4.5mm); 1 x iPhone Standoff
- 1 x Oval Drive; 4 x Phillips (#0, #000, #1, #2); 3 x Torx (T3, T4, T5); 4 x Tri-point (Y000, Y00, Y0, Y1)
Back to the case, the two sections are held together using magnets, and inside the lid is a grid. Essentially these are to strengthen the lids curved section, but they also double up as somewhere to put screws. Ensuring that you put back all of the screws that you took out!
Measuring just 12.4 x 7.9 x 2.3CM, the Moray Driver kit is an essential “grab and go” kit for those that like to be prepared for any IT emergencies. – Les Pounder
Snag this excellent 32-inch Samsung monitor while it's still on sale
With a DisplayPort 1.4 and HDMI 2.0 input, this is a worthy 1080p monitor for high-intensity gaming that requires a high refresh rate. While it isn't the lowest-ever price we've seen on this model, this is still a great deal. - Stephen Warwick
This Crucial T710 4TB NVMe is one of the best SSD deals you can still grab right now
We tested the 2TB variant of this SSD in our four-star review, stating that the drive offers solid performance across our performance tests, with good power efficiency, cache layout and good TLC write speeds. Though it might not be the best drive out there as a whole, it’s still good enough in the right ways to suit most setups. We’ve dropped some performance tests of the 2TB model below.
From the tests above, you can find that the 2TB T710 pushes the speeds of predecessor, the T705. While it can't keep up with the speeds of the latest and greatest, its scores make it a very viable SSD to put into just about any system.
At just $379.99 at Amazon, many of our criticisms are trumped in favor of pure value. Having such a speedy 4TB drive in a system cannot be overstated, and you can manage installations of large games or ballooning projects with ease, without having to reach for a slower HDD. Don’t miss this one, it’s one of the best SSD deals you can still grab this shopping season. — Sayem Ahmed
Stop scratching up your PC building workbench, get one of these and save 60%!
Measuring 48 x 24 inches, this large mat cushions the components from harm and protects your nice desk from a deep gouge as you take a PC case apart. Ask me how I know! The underside is anti-slip, thanks to a rubberized coating, and being 0.21 inches thick (5mm approximately) means that it provides support for components, and your hands should you wish to use this as a desk pad.
Speaking of which, this is more than just a colorful desk protector. Printed onto the mat are diagrams and charts for all of the common PC components and screws. Need a quick reference on motherboard connections, screw types, ports, slots, sockets? Its all there. Need a ruler to measure some wires? You got it!
PC builders, this is the mat that you need before you start that next build! –Les Pounder
The most comfortable headset ever is 33% off for Cyber Monday
HyperX's Cloud III lineup is the most comfortable line of headsets we've ever used — taking its "cloud" moniker seriously, I suppose. And the flagship HyperX Cloud III S Wireless, which features both 2.4GHz wireless and Bluetooth connectivity, is down to just $119.99 — its lowest price ever — for Cyber Monday.
This ultra-comfortable over-ear wireless headset weighs just 12.05 ounces (341.5g), and while it's not the absolute lightest headset on the market, it feels — well, like you're wearing nothing. Thanks to a flexible, memory foam-padded headband and earcups that tilt and are independently height-adjustable, this headset fits perfectly and stays on your head without giving you a headache. It also sounds great — HyperX redesigned and angled the 53mm drivers from its Cloud II lineup, and the result is a sound profile that works for music and is especially good for gaming. You'll hear tons of detail, even in multi-layered environments, with this headset on.
The headset also features a detachable 10mm omnidirectional boom mic, which will make you sound clear but not like you're in a podcasting booth. HyperX rates the headset's battery life at 120 hours over its 2.4GHz wireless connection, and "up to 200 hours" over Bluetooth — both of which are solid. (Read our full review of the HyperX Cloud III S Wireless here.) — Sarah
Spend $8 and keep the wires under your desk at bay!
PCs mean wires and cables. I’ve got my PC setup, audio, two 3D printers (my faithful Elegoo Neptune 3 Pro, on sale for $159, and my workhorse Elegoo Centauri Carbon, on sale for $279), a soldering station, a hot air rework station, and two desktop power supplies. So many wires! Oh, and I have network cables running around the room. I use these hook-and-loop cable ties to keep clutter to a minimum and group cables by function.
The hook-and-loop nature of the cable ties means that I can add or remove things as I upgrade or decide on a new framework to control the tangle of wires.
This may not be a sexy purchase, you may not swoon as they arrive through the door, but from a purely functional point of view, they are absolutely essential. --Les Pounder
Knockout Cyber Monday deals on gargantuan storage devices — 50% off 24TB HDD for NAS and only $250 for a 24TB external drive
There's also this monster 24TB external hard drive for a mere $249. Yes, this is on the other end of the performance spectrum compared to the Red NAS drive above — this external drive is definitely slow — but that's perfect for the cheap and deep storage workloads like archival and bulk data storage that isn't time sensitive. — Paul Alcorn
Save $80 and get a shuckable 20TB Western Digital Elements External Hard Drive for $269.99
If you’re running out of space on your external hard drive, like I am, Black Friday is a good time to shop for more storage. The Western Digital Elements 20TB drive is close to its all-time low and available for $269.99 at Newegg for a limited time. At this price, that means you’re getting a terabyte for under $14 (or $13.49, to be precise), which is a bargain, even compared to some of the higher-capacity internal drives that we’ve previously featured.
Simply connect the device to power and to a USB 3.0 port (3.2 Gen 1 or faster for best results), and you have instant access to a gargantuan 20TB of storage for your files, videos, or pictures. WD backs the drive with a 2-year limited warranty. Or, if you don’t care about the warranty and have some handy tools, you can void it and extract the drive inside, since it is shuckable.
Shucking the drive comes at your own risk, though, but it beats spending more on an internal HDD. However, it may offer faster access speeds than native USB 3.0, which may be a benefit in itself if you’re planning to access it regularly. Whatever the use case, having a mammoth 20TB HDD by your side lets you store a heap of data without worrying about space. — Sayem Ahmed
Newegg gives away free 16GB DDR5 RAM kit with Gigabyte B650M motherboard all for just $109
The Gigabyte board is micro ATX, and lacks PCIe 5.0, but it does include Wi-Fi 6E and 2.5GbE, two M.2 slots and four SATA ports. So storage isn't going to be an issue for most builds.
The Team Group RAM also isn't top-end by any means. But it's no slow slouch, either, rated for DDR5-6000 speeds (AMD EXPO and Intel XMP ready), which is actually the sweet spot for gaming performance on AMD's current platform. Of course, 16GB isn't great for a gaming rig that you want to last for years. But hey, it's hard to argue with 'free' RAM when the stuff has been surging 500% lately thanks to AI demand.
Don't sit on this deal. It will sell out. — Matt Safford
This excellent $8.49 power button gadget lets you start your PC from your desk
The two key switches that serve as your PC's power and reset buttons are made to look like Cherry MX-compatible mechanical keyboard switches, and Meiriyfa claims they're good for over 5 million keystrokes. Besides the buttons, there are also connectors for the PC's power LED and disk access LEDs.
The keys rest in a smooth black plastic case with a wire that extends to the PC itself, and that's where we find this product's next trick: an included "1 to 2 splitter" that allows you to connect both the external power and reset buttons as well as the standard case front connectors.
For overclockers, for folks who are extremely sensitive to aesthetics (and want to hide an ugly desktop PC), or simply for enthusiasts who enjoy the feeling of a big, clicky key to power on their PC, Meiriyfa's external power button could make an excellent stocking stuffer or gag gift. — Zak Killian
Grab 14TB of shuckable HDD storage for an all-time low $169
The WD Elements 14 measures 5.31 x 1.89 x 6.53 inches and weighs 0.9 pounds. Although it's not obnoxiously big or heavy, it's one of those external storage devices that'll probably spend more time on your desk than on the road. The device requires external power and must be connected to a wall outlet via an AC adapter.
Western Digital provides a limited two-year warranty on the WD Elements 14TB, giving you extra peace of mind. — Zhiye Liu
This is the perfect entry-level 3D printer, now 33% off
The direct-drive extruder and the optional AMS (multi-material system for printing multiple colors or filaments) make short work of multi-color and multi-material prints. All you need to do is get a “poop bucket” to catch the waste filament. The optional AMS brings the price to $329, $130 off the regular price.
If you don’t need to print big, then this little printer is ideal. Wargamers and modelers will soon be printing figures, statues, and scenery with this great printer.
Check out our full review for all the details on this awesome printer. - Les Pounder
An RTX 5050 at a price that finally makes sense — $219 is just right
You can see from the chart that the RTX 5050 is a bit of a tough sell at its $249 MSRP, but it looks better at $219 compared to the Intel Arc B570 and Arc B580, neither of which has really budged this holiday season. If you need a truly cheap gaming upgrade and want to stick with Team Green, this deal is your ticket. - Jeff Kampman
A cool liquid cooler with a cool LCD and a cool price to keep your CPU cool. And it's 20% off, which is even cooler.
Thermalright's AIO solutions have tested very well for us in the past, so this is a trusted brand with a track record of great cooling performance. It might not match the Liquid Freezer from Arctic, but no other cooler can, and this one is cheaper and has more features.
This cooler supports AMD's AM4 and AM5 platforms, as well as basically every Intel platform going, so you can use it to cool any of the CPUs from the last few years with no trouble. It's even suitable for a hefty Ryzen 9 9950X3D or Ryzen 7 9800X3D. - Stephen Warwick
Apple's MacBook Air is still at an all-time low
For several years, Apple has kept its old M1 MacBook Air going at Walmart. For Cyber Monday, that system is selling at $549.99 at Walmart. But that system is getting a bit old, with a five-year-old processor, a lower-resolution display, a worse webcam, an inferior keyboard, and an outdated design with thick bezels. Don't fall for it.
So it's worth it to drop the extra $150 on the M4 MacBook Air. I know that's a lot of cash, but the M4 system delivers so many benefits over the M1 version that it's worth the splurge, especially if you plan to keep it for a long time. We reviewed the M1 system in 2020, while the M4 MacBook Air came out earlier this year.
Take a look at the gains in benchmarks like Handbrake and our file transfer test, as well as the improvements in display quality and brightness:
An M5 MacBook Air will surely come soon enough, but the M4 is very capable. So if you're buying a MacBook Air for yourself or someone else, get the one that will last. — Andrew E. Freedman
A Logitech webcam for just $25? Yes, please!
What's there to say about a webcam like this? It delivers 1080p-quality video to your audience and, to save you from buying a headset, it has a built-in mic. It's an all-in-one camera setup that, while built for work, can certainly handle personal calls with friends and family.
It uses a USB-A cable, features a privacy shutter, and can be fully customized and controlled via the Logi Options+ app. If you need to get yourself ready for your next meeting on a budget, this Logitech webcam deal for Cyber Monday is a great way to do it. — Ben Stockton
Charge everything for less with Sabrent's monstrous 252-Watt charging station for only $59
Not everyone needs an eight-port, 250W USB charger. But if you do, you'll know most of them tend to cost around $100 or more – especially if you want one with a screen so you can monitor its impressive (but still limited) output. But Sabrent's 252W USB PD charger delivers lots of juice, four USB-C ports that top out at 100W, and four USB-A ports (18W). It's a boxy charging beast, but also includes a display so you can check the per-port output and temperature.
With four USB-C and four USB-A ports, a max output of 252 watts, and a screen to monitor your charging devices, this is one serious charging station for those with serious charging needs. Its power supply is also internal, which probably explains why it looks like a brick. But considering its current sale price, this is a whole lot of charging power for not a lot of money. And it's shorter than a smartphone, so it's smaller than it looks.
Sabrent splits the charger's capabilities down to 126W "per side," so if you have a couple of high-draw laptops and other devices that you want to charge at once, you'll have to pay attention to which port you use. But that color screen will tell you if something isn't charging as fast as it could or should, so you can adjust accordingly. —Matt Safford
Hoto's cordless vacuum cleaner/duster is a versatile tech accessory, and a steal at its current $39 Cyber Monday deal price
I've been using the Air Capsule on and off for several months, and its accessories make it surprisingly versatile. A small vacuum canister attaches to one end for cleaning up a mess. And when you want to blow dust or dirt out of or off of something, you attach one of the nozzles to the other end.
It only runs for about ten minutes on a charge, but that's generally enough for the kinds of small jobs this desk accessory was designed for. And I've tried out a few competing devices, and they all last about 6-12 minutes at full power.
The only real downside I've found is that the accessories are easy to misplace because they don't come with a storage system. The bag-free vacuum accessory is also pretty small. So it's only good for small messes, and you'll want to empty it every time. But that's as easy as a twist and a dump over your garbage can. It's become a handy solution to my often messy, careless desk-eating habits. -- Matt Safford
One of the cheapest 5080 gaming PCs going...
You also get an Intel Core Ultra 7 265F processor. All together, this deal brings the price down from an estimated $2,600 to a much more affordable $ 1,814. - Stephen Warwick
Ditch the gamer aesthetic with the Keychron V1 mechanical keyboard for just over $60
The Keychron V1 packs several highlights: first, support for QMK and VIA, which lets you customize key layouts, macros, and more, with no devious bloat like many other peripheral software packages. Furthermore, you also get hot-swappable switches, allowing you to swap things out if one fails or if you want a different typing experience. The V1 is available in tactile brown or linear red, but if you want to customize it, there are thousands of possibilities.
Lastly, we've got to talk about the knob, the beloved knob is now a mainstay in many 75% keyboards, but Keychron was one of the first to popularize it. The knob is useful in a handful of contexts, but admittedly, it mostly looks cool. At just over $60, the V1 is a solid choice and a great option if you're shopping for something to spice up your setup. — Sayem Ahmed
This 142-piece precision screwdriver set is just $22, but it's still fit for a king — it even comes with tools to fix smartphones and to clean all that “debris” under your keyboard
We’ve already extolled the virtues of Strebito’s smaller $8 sixty-four-piece electronics kit, but this larger version is just as great. Inside the folding polyester case is the same main driver handle, but then we get 120, 4mm precision driver bits made from CR-V steel.
You name it, this has it! Phillips, Flathead, Torx, Tamper-Resistant Torx, Pentalobe, Pozidriv, Tri-Wing, Hex, Gamebit (for Nintendo consoles), and then there are even more tools! Suction cup with SIM card eject pin (because we always lose the one that came with our phone), angled tweezers, magnetizer, magnetic project mat, spudgers, plastic pry tools, brush, microfiber cloths. There is even an adapter to use the 4mm bits in a ¼ inch driver or drill, handy!
The driver has an extendable shaft and a flexible shaft for hard-to-reach screws. All of the bits are magnetic to reduce the chance of dropping a screw in a hard-to-reach place. The included magnetic screw mat is damn useful for taking a laptop or a complex electronic board apart. Just place the screws on the grid, label them, and then move on to the next screw.
If you are looking for a holiday gift for that maker or PC builder in your life, then the Strebito precision screwdriver set is a steal at this price. - Les Pounder
Get this baller Asus tri-band Wi-Fi 7 router for just $189
The RT-BE92U offers speeds of up to 1,032 Mbps on the 2.4 GHz band, up to 2,882 Mbps on the 5 GHz band, and up to 5,764 Mbps on the 6 GHz band. The router is also futureproof with respect to wired connectivity.
You get a 10 GbE WAN/LAN port, a 2.5 GbE WAN/LAN port, and three 2.5 GbE LAN ports. There's also a single USB 3.2 Gen 1 port for network storage. The RT-BE92U's usability is further enhanced by its support for AiMesh with compatible Asus mesh routers. — Brandon Hill
Grab Razer's ultra-adjustable Iskur V2 gaming chair for a massive 38% off
Looking for a place to sit after all that Cyber Monday shopping? Razer's Iskur V2 is a highly configurable gaming chair with excellent lumbar support and a full 152-degree recline (so you can take a nap, too, while you're at it), and it's currently 38% off at Razer's website for Black Friday. You can grab this premium gaming chair for just $399.99 (was $649.99) right now.
The Iskur V2 comes in three colorways (black, gray, and black with green accent stitching) and is upholstered in premium faux leather. It has the familiar gaming/racing style, but it's not too ostentatious — it's pretty sleek, especially if you don't get the green-stitched variant. It features lockable 4D armrests and a sturdy lumbar pad that adjusts horizontally, vertically, and in a "cross-plane path" — meaning it swivels left and right, which is great for people with unorthodox sitting styles. It also reclines fully, though we're not sure how often you really need that feature in a gaming chair, and comes with a removable headrest pillow featuring Razer's signature snake logo. Read our full review of the Iskur V2 here.
And if you love the look of the Iskur V2, but you don't need something quite so adjustable, the Iskur V2 X is also on sale — down to $249.99 on Amazon (was $299.99).

This impressively lightweight open-back wireless gaming headset is almost 30% off
You probably don't think of an "open-back headset" when you think of a gaming headset, but if you don't need noise isolation, you might want to think again. Turtle Beach's impressively lightweight Atlas Air is the "world's first wireless open-back gaming headset," and it's not only super comfortable — it also sounds pretty good. It's currently on sale for $129.99 at Amazon (down from its original MSRP of $179.99).
The Atlas Air features 2.4GHz wireless and Bluetooth 5.2 connectivity (as well as wired connectivity), 40mm dynamic drivers, and support for 24-bit audio. It also has a detachable flip-to-mute boom mic — while we liked that it was detachable and the flip-to-mute feature, it didn't work quite as nicely as anticipated.
But even without the mic, this headset sounds great for both music and gaming, with a nicely balanced sound profile that leans a little toward the low end and a wide, detailed soundstage for all those multi-layered audio environments in games. You can read my full review of the Atlas Air here. — Sarah
The BarraCuda is gone, but great storage steals live on
Naturally, this is an external drive, but if you're willing to void your warranty and gamble on the shucking lottery, you could get a nifty internal drive. If external works for you, this is frankly a silly value for money. This drive also comes with a USB 3.0 (Type-A) cable and an 18W external power adapter. — Stephen Warwick
A Cyber Monday steal on this eye-catching 180 / 360 Hz monitor from LG
This comes with AMD FreeSync Premium and Nvidia G-Sync, as well as DisplayHDR 400, HDMI 2.1, and 1ms response time. — Sayem Ahmed
Upgrade your Steam Deck with a new dock for cheap!
It comes with 100Mbps Ethernet, USB 2.0, 100W charging, and support for 4K at 120Hz over HDMI 2.1. - Stephen Warwick
This gaming monitor hits 144 Hz at 4K, and a blistering 288 Hz at 1080p, all for only $199
Although we often see QHD (2560 x 1440) resolution in a 27-inch monitor, the MAG 275UPD ups the ante with a 4K (3840 x 2160) IPS panel with a maximum refresh rate of 144 Hz. Although we haven't yet tested the MAG 275UPD, MSI claims that it covers 130% of sRGB and 90% of DCI-P3. In addition, you'll find two HDMI 2.1 ports and one DisplayPort 1.4a port. If that wasn't enough, there are also two built-in 2-watt speakers.
One other item of note is that the MAG 275UPD supports a dual-mode refresh rate. While the monitor supports up to 144 Hz at 4K resolution, it can reach 288 Hz at Full HD (1920 x 1080). — Brandon Hill
A cheaper OLED monitor option at a smoking price
With OLED tech, you get rapid GtG response times of just 0.03 ms and very smooth gameplay. The 240Hz will light up any title, but you can go even more hardcore with the 360Hz refresh option if you prefer. That model has been sub-$600 before, making the 240Hz the value play here. — Stephen Warwick
8Bitdo's SN30 Pro Wireless Bluetooth controller is a great retro-inspired gaming option for those who miss the SNES days but want to play modern and retro games
As you might expect, given this controller's small size, its Rumble motors aren't the strongest, and the layout can feel kind of cramped for some modern games. But for any kind of retro game, especially platformers, this is my favorite controller. I recently used it to play through (or nearly through) The Legend of Zelda: Echoes of Wisdom, and loved every minute.
Meta’s Quest 3S mixed-reality headset is a smoking deal at $249 with an included $50 gift card
The Quest 3S uses Fresnel lenses with three fixed adjustment settings along with two LCDs — one for each eye — with a resolution of 1832 x 1920 and a refresh rate of up to 120 Hz. That works out to 773 pixels per inch (ppi), versus 1,218 ppi for the pricier Quest 3. Powering the headset is a Qualcomm Snapdragon XR2 Gen 2 SoC paired with 8GB and your choice of either 128GB or 512GB of storage. You'll also find a 4,324 mAh battery onboard that can provide up to 2.5 hours of runtime.
If you're into VR gaming, the Quest 3S comes with a free copy of Gorilla Tag, which is an excellent showcase for the headset and its motion controllers. You can also use the headset to watch movies on Netflix, if that's your thing.
With that said, with an effective price of around $200 when you take into account the gift card, the Meta Quest 3S could make a great gift idea for the tech nerd in your family, or even a quick grab to add to your own gadget stash. — Brandon Hill
This Crucial T710 4TB NVMe is one of the best SSD deals you can still grab right now
We tested the 2TB variant of this SSD in our four-star review, stating that the drive offers solid performance across our performance tests, with good power efficiency, cache layout and good TLC write speeds. Though it might not be the best drive out there as a whole, it’s still good enough in the right ways to suit most setups. We’ve dropped some performance tests of the 2TB model below.
From the tests above, you can find that the 2TB T710 pushes the speeds of predecessor, the T705. While it can't keep up with the speeds of the latest and greatest, its scores make it a very viable SSD to put into just about any system.
At just $379.99 at Amazon, many of our criticisms are trumped in favor of pure value. Having such a speedy 4TB drive in a system cannot be overstated, and you can manage installations of large games or ballooning projects with ease, without having to reach for a slower HDD. Don’t miss this one, it’s one of the best SSD deals you can still grab this shopping season. — Sayem Ahmed
