Gaming peripheral Black Friday deals 2021

Gaming peripherals are an oft-overlooked aspect of the PC gaming setup.

Whether it’s keyboards or mice, headsets or speakers, controllers or desks, or everything above, you’ll find some of our handpicked Black Friday recommendations for each product category, and further details about each product will be available on the corresponding product pages.

Black Friday is a yearly explosion of large discounts for short periods in the retail sector. For us nerds, it’s an event observed more stringently than some religious holidays. The gaming hardware industry often sees fit to bestow upon thee glorious discounts of a most generous nature.

The PC Gaming peripheral space is one fraught with snake oil, ruthless markups, and counter-intuitive product names and descriptions. This comes in addition to a market that is so over-saturated, with almost every PC tech manufacturer you’ve heard of all hoping that you’ll buy their respective peripherals this Black Friday.

Black Friday gaming keyboard deals

Pretty much every keyboard manufacturer has been known to toss their hat in the ring on Black Friday – Here’s who we expect to bring you the best discounts this year around.

Corsair, Razer, and Ducky are known to be generous with their Black Friday offerings alongside some very well-regarded gaming keyboards and are sure to re-appear this year too.

Our pick for a top full-size mechanical gaming keyboard is the SteelSeries Apex Pro. Its OLED display, per-key adjustable sensitivity, and magnetic wrist-rest make this a feature-rich keyboard that is hard to beat, SteelSeries has a history of impressive Black Friday deals so it’s safe to say that they won’t disappoint this year.

Black Friday gaming mouse deals

A good gaming mouse is one of the most vital aspects of the PC gaming experience so why not take advantage of the Black Friday deals to upgrade your gaming setup?

Razer, SteelSeries, and Corsair all produce some impressive offerings in the mouse product category and will be dropping some tempting prices come Black Friday

Our top gaming mouse title is heald by Logitech. They’ve been in the peripheral industry for decades longer than much of their competition. Any “best of” list will feature their G Pro Wireless mouse and rightfully so, its lightspeed wireless connection technology is industry-leading, and its sensors come close to the best money can buy. We think Logitech may treat us to a good deal on this King of gaming mice this Black Friday.

Black Friday gaming headset deals

Gaming headsets are a difficult product category for the user to navigate and many of them come with substandard audio quality. But we won’t let you be tricked into buying something like that on Black Friday

Astro is a chart-topping manufacturer and their headsets cover all parts of the price spectrum, Astro has been reliable in the past with some pretty tempting discounts and this year will be a good opportunity to grab some deals!

Other notable mentions in the headset game that are known for tasty discounts are Logitech, Corsair, HyperX, and Razer

Black Friday gaming controller deals

As much as PC master race types like to go on about the superiority of keyboard and mouse control, there are some games which just need a controller, like Rocket League and 3rd person affairs such as the Dark Souls and Witcher series.

Given the relatively open state of the console controller space these days you won’t be surprised that some of the best controllers you can get are the DualSense from Sony and the Xbox Series X controller from Microsoft. However, 1st party peripherals rarely drop in price so the Razer Wolverine is our top pick for a controller that is not only excellent but likely do receive a decent discount on Black Friday

Black Friday gaming desk deals

Gaming desks are a category that most people don’t usually bother with, after all, it’s just a desk, right? Yes. It is. But some gaming desks are worth it such as the recently released Secretlab MAGNUS, with its cable routing technology and magnetic ecosystem, it impressed us recently Secretlab is reasonably reliably generous with their Black Friday offerings, could be a good opportunity for you to pick up one of the only gaming desks worth the name.

Black Friday gaming speaker deals

It’s said that sound is 50% of film, and the same extends to gaming, while headsets are the preferable audio solution for competitive gaming, single-player stories gain strong benefit from a decent set of speakers.

We recently reviewed the Razer Nommo Pro speakers and found the Bass to be unlike anything we had experienced, as detailed earlier razer are reliably generous with discounts on Black Friday so these are worth keeping an eye on

Harman Kardon and Logitech are also very good brands with a history of strong Black Friday Performances.
