We are now tracking a deal at Amazon that drops Lexar’s Switch 2-compatible 256GB PLAY PRO microSD card down to $49.99 shipped. This is regularly a $60 unit, which is now seeing a 17% markdown.

We just spotted a deal at Amazon that drops Logitech’s MX Creative Console down to $159.99 shipped. The deals on this 9-key controller have been very light for the most part since its debut last year carrying a $200 price tag, and today’s deal takes $40 off its usual going rate. It first dropped to this price during the fall Prime Day sale, and today’s deal marks the return of that price with a 20% discount.

As part of its now live Last Minute Doorbusters, Best Buy is offering Lenovo’s Yoga 7i 16-inch 2-in-1 Copilot+ PC for $499.99 shipped. This Intel-powered laptop typically goes for $900, so you’re looking at a straight-up $400 discount on it right now. The 14-inch variant of this notebook saw a $400 discount earlier this year during the retailer’s Labor Day sale, but this is the first time we’re seeing this 16-inch model drop this low. Lenovo, in case you’re wondering, has the same laptop currently listed at $529.99 shipped, making Best Buy’s offer a touch better with an additional $30 discount. Head below for more details.

We are now tracking a deal at Amazon that drops Logitech’s G PRO X SUPERLIGHT gaming mouse in black down to $79.99 shipped. This is originally a $150 model that has fetched as much as $110 in recent months at Amazon. Today’s deal delivers a 47% markdown on its original price, shaving $30 off its usual going rate. This is the lowest price we’ve tracked for it this year, outside of a very brief drop to $50 earlier in January that only a few managed to snag. It remains a solid pick if you’re looking to buy a new mouse for your battlestation or as a gift for the holidays – especially at its discounted price today with Christmas delivery – and you can learn more about it in detail below.

Alongside its now live last-chance Doorbusters, Best Buy has refreshed its Deals of the Day offers with solid markdowns on last-minute gifts that will still arrive before Christmas.

There are even a few gaming deals worth checking out if you’re still shopping for gifts. All of today’s offers are live right now, with full details below.

Buying budget wireless headphones usually meant living with obvious trade-offs – at least until a few years ago. Even today, plenty of premium models still have their own shortcomings. That being said, there’s no shortage of affordable options out there that are slowly catching up and punch well above their weight class to challenge headphones that cost $300 or more. The Baseus Inspire XH1 I’ve been using over the past few weeks is a great example, delivering effective ANC, surprisingly good sound quality, and excellent battery life. They’ve easily become my favorite budget headphones of the year – and you can read on to find out why.

Samsung has been delivering some great deals on its Odyssey monitors as part of its holiday sale over the last few days, but B&H just dropped a standout discount on a newer 2025 ViewFinity model that Samsung itself isn’t marking down this heavily just yet. You can snag the brand’s latest 37-inch ViewFinity S70D 4K monitor for $279.99 shipped. Don’t forget to clip the on-page coupon to see the discounted price during checkout. This monitor usually sells for around $500, so you’re looking at a straight-up $220 discount on it today. This is the lowest price we have tracked for it to date since its debut earlier this year as an upgraded model of the previous-gen ViewFinity model that has gone for less. For comparison, Both Samsung and Amazon are still listing it at $400, so you might want to jump in and snag this B&H offer after getting more details below.

Over at Amazon, you’ll find 8BitDo’s latest Switch 2-compatible Pro 3 wireless gamepad down at $50.39 shipped. Don’t forget to clip the on-page coupon to see the discounted price during checkout. This is regularly a $70 gamepad, which is now seeing a straight-up $20 discount. We saw this controller drop to the $56 mark during the Black Friday sale, but today’s deal delivers an additional $6 discount to mark a new best price to beat. The Purple and Gray variants are down to the $50 low today, so be sure to snag them before the prices jump back up. Head below for more details.

Samsung’s Holiday sale has been rolling out big discounts across its lineup over the last few weeks, and the brand is now turning the spotlight on its Odyssey gaming monitors.

We just spotted a deal at Amazon that drops Razer’s DeathAdder V3 Pro wireless gaming mouse in white down to $69.99 shipped. This is originally a $150 unit that has fetched as much as $120 in recent months. It has lately been fetching $99, but it’s now seeing an additional discount that lands it $29 below its previous all-time low and our mention from August. This is the lowest price we have tracked for this mouse, and it’s a pretty good option to consider if you’re looking to grab a new one for your battlestation or get one as a gift. Alongside the black model, Amazon also has the Faker and Fortnite Editions of this mouse, though those versions aren’t seeing nearly as big a discount as the white one at the moment.

Over at Amazon, you’ll find Insta360’s official storefront offering its Flow 2 Pro smartphone gimbal standard bundle for $126.99 shipped. This particular model hit the scene earlier this year carrying a $160 price tag.

Only once before today have we seen this unit go for anything less than today’s discounted price when it briefly dropped at Newegg, and it’s now within $6 of that. You can also get this in silver, although it’s currently fetching its full $120 price. Head below for more details along with deals on other Anker charging gear.

Holiday deals are in full swing across major brands and retailers like Samsung and Best Buy, and B&H has now joined the party with its own sale event. The retailer kicked off its early holiday discounts shortly after its Black Friday sale this year, and it is now rolling out fresh offers once again as part of its last-chance holiday deals push.

This AMD-powered machine typically goes for $900, so you’re looking at a straight-up $300 discount on it today. This would be a great pick for anyone upgrading from an older notebook or buying their first gaming laptop, and it delivers some serious value today at its discounted price. We recently saw the Intel-powered variant of this notebook go for less, but this one with a relatively newer, more powerful AMD Ryzen AI 5 240 AI processor has never been this low. It dropped to $629 last month ahead of the Black Friday sale, and it’s now going for $30 less. Head below for more details.

Samsung’s Holiday sale is still going strong with some huge markdowns on gaming monitors, Smart TVs, and more, but we just spotted an unbeatable deal at Woot that gets you one of the brand’s 2025 Odyssey G7 displays for a stellar price. As part of its wider sale on Samsung gaming monitors, Woot is offering the brand’s 2025 Odyssey G7 (G75F) 37-inch 4K curved model for $459.99 Prime shipped (a $6 delivery fee will apply otherwise). This is regularly a $900 display that’s currently fetching $550 directly at Samsung and Amazon. Today’s deal at Woot, however, takes $440 off its usual going rate to land it $110 below its previous all-time low and mark a new best price to beat.

As part of its Holiday sale, Samsung is offering a giant discount on its Odyssey 55-inch Ark 2nd-gen 4K gaming monitor – it’s down to $1,249.99 shipped with a $50 FREE credit that applies during checkout. This is originally a $3,000 display that has lately been fetching $2,700. We’ve seen it to drop to the $1,400 mark in the past with some limited offers at Woot, but today’s discount comes directly from Samsung and marks the lowest price we have tracked for it to date.

UGREEN’s 15W Qi2 3-in-1 MagFlow charger quickly became one of my favorites when I went hands-on with it earlier this year.

I’ve been using UGREEN’s latest 3-in-1 Qi2.2 25W charging station for a few weeks now, and it has honestly been an excellent upgrade – especially since my desk has gotten more crowded with some new gear.
