PC Gaming

Welcome to 9to5Toys Battlestation Weekly – your go-to spot for the notable deals and latest releases in PC gaming at a glance every Saturday morning. It’s been a packed week for deals, with everything from Lenovo’s Legion Go S handheld seeing its first big discount since the Black Friday offer, to multiple Samsung and Acer gaming monitors seeing their best prices yet. We also spotted big drops on Razer keyboards and headsets, Copilot+ laptops from HP and Lenovo, and a stack of Anker chargers, docks, and accessories. A lot of them are still live and waiting for you below, so be sure to check them out in this week’s Battlestation Weekly.

We just spotted a deal at Lenovo that drops its Ryzen Z1 Extreme-powered Legion Go S PC gaming handheld with SteamOS down to $713.47 shipped. Be sure to enter promo code LENOVONEWYEAR during checkout to see the discounted price. This is regularly a $900 handheld, which is now seeing a $187 discount. The promo code highlighted above drops this handheld down to one of the lowest prices we have tracked for it. It briefly dipped to $650 during Black Friday a couple of months back, and today’s deal puts it within just $63 of that low. It’s a pretty good option to consider if you’re in the market to buy a new gaming handheld, and you can learn more about it below.

Amazon has been dishing out some solid deals on Samsung’s Odyssey gaming monitors over the last few days, and the latest one to go on sale is the brand’s 27-inch 4K Odyssey dual mode model that’s down to $399.99 shipped. This is a relatively new model that has only been out for a couple of months now, compared to some other discounted Odyssey displays. It typically goes for $600, so you’re looking at a straight-up $200 on it right now. Today’s deal lands it $50 below its previous all-time low from when it hit $450 last year during the Black Friday sale. This is the lowest price we have tracked for this display, and you can learn more about it in detail below.

As part of its ongoing video game sale, Woot is offering Razer’s BlackWidow V4 75% mechanical gaming keyboard in Phantom Green finish for $129.99 Prime shipped (a $6 delivery fee will apply otherwise). This keyboard normally sells for $200, but it’s now down by a flat $70. It dipped to $140 on Amazon during last year’s holiday sales, but today’s Woot offer shaves another $10 off that mark, setting a new all-time low. This is the lowest price we have tracked for this keyboard, and you can learn more about it below.

We just spotted a deal at Amazon that drops Samsung’s 27-inch Odyssey 3D (G90XF) 4K gaming monitor down to $1,316.60 shipped. This is one of the more pricey models in Samsung’s Odyssey lineup with a $2,000 regular price, but today’s discounted price makes it a bit easier on your wallet. It’s now seeing a $684 discount, marking the lowest price we have seen it fetch at Amazon to date. We did briefly spot it fetching a wildly low $900 once via a promo code, but that was a short-lived offer that only a very few were able to grab. Samsung is bundling a FREE 24-inch FHD monitor with this model on its online store today, but Amazon’s deal is the clear winner here if you’re after a straight-up cash discount. Head below for more details.

Courtesy of INNOCN’s official Amazon storefront, you can now score the brand’s budget-friendly 27-inch 4K 144Hz gaming monitor for $179.99 shipped. This is originally a $550 display that has more recently been fetching close to $300 at Amazon, so you’re looking at a straight-up $120 discount on it today. That’s a 40% markdown on an already affordable UHD 144Hz gaming display, making it even easier on your wallet. It doesn’t get much better than $180 for a 144Hz 4K gaming monitor, so be sure to grab it if you were looking for an affordable way to upgrade your battlestation. Head below for more details.

ASUS is kicking off its 2026 monitor lineup with the new ROG Swift OLED PG27AQWP-W gaming display.

It also has a unique design that would give your battlestation a fresh look, and you can pre-order your unit to be among the first to grab it. It’s now available to pre-order at Newegg for $1,099.99 shipped, and the retailer’s Pre-Order Guarantee ensures you’ll pay the lowest price if it drops before launch. Head below for more details.

While there are still some solid holiday discounts floating around on Samsung’s existing Odyssey lineup — including a massive $1,450 price cut on the 2nd-gen 55-inch 4K Odyssey Ark — the company is already looking ahead. Samsung is going big for 2026, and it has unveiled as many as five new models. Two of these are particularly noteworthy as they stand out as the ‘world’s first 6K Glasses-Free 3D’ and the ‘world’s first 1,040Hz Refresh Rate’ models for gaming.
