Twelve South PowerCord All-in-One 30W USB-C

Buy for $14.50 (Reg. $40)

What we love

The PowerCord may not be for everyone, but its all-in-one simplicity makes it surprisingly useful. Just like other Twelve South gear, this one also has solid build quality. It’s just a convenient charger overall regardless of whether you’re at home, on the go, or traveling, and it’s hard to argue against the value here today while it’s down to just $14.50.

One of our favorite reveals from CES this year has got to be Anker’s new 45W Nano charger with Smart Display, and you can already reserve your unit now with a nice launch deal. You can pre-order directly from Anker’s online store for $29.99 shipped, securing a $10 launch discount. Even at its full $40 asking price, this is Anker’s most affordable charger with a built-in display, which makes the early discount an even better value. It’s available in four finishes, including one that pairs perfectly with the Cosmic Orange iPhone 17 Pro models, so be sure to jump in and grab one after checking out the full details below.

Over at Amazon, you’ll find Sharge’s official storefront offering its 65W USB-C GaN charger with a retractable cable for $35.90 shipped. This is regularly a $50 unit, which is now seeing a 28% markdown. Today’s deal shaves $14 off its usual going rate, marking the return of the lowest price it first hit shortly after its debut last year. Discounts on this charger have been few and far between – it didn’t even receive a meaningful cut during Black Friday – so this deal is particularly worth considering if you’ve been eyeing a new charger. You can also get this in black and white colors, and they’re both down to the $36 low today. Head below for more details.

We are now tracking a deal at Amazon that drops Razer’s compact BlackWidow V4 Mini Hyperspeed gaming keyboard down to $87.99 shipped. This particular model hit the scene carrying a $130 price tag, which is what it has mostly been fetching since then, outside a few drops to the $100 mark. It briefly dipped to $88 ahead of the Black Friday sale a couple of months back before quickly jumping back in price, but it’s now going for a touch lower to mark a new all-time low. It’s a pretty good option to consider if you’re looking to pick up a new keyboard for your battlestation, and you can learn more about it in detail below.

We are now tracking a deal at Amazon that drops Samsung’s 2025 Odyssey G9 (G91F) 49-inch 144Hz DQHD curved gaming monitor down to $702.04 shipped.

You can also find the monitor on its own for $699.99 shipped via a separate listing, but spending just $2 more for this bundle nets you a FREE $200 gift card. That extra value can easily be put toward other Amazon purchases, like a new keyboard or additional peripherals to round out your battlestation. Head below for the full breakdown.
