As part of its updated Samsung monitor sale, Woot is offering the brand’s 27-inch Odyssey G6 (G60SF) 500Hz OLED gaming monitor for $649.99 Prime shipped (a $6 delivery fee will apply otherwise). This particular model hit the scene last year as the ‘world’s first 500Hz OLED’ gaming display carrying a $1,000 price tag. While it’s still fetching that price directly at Samsung, you’ll typically find it listed for $920 at Amazon. Today’s offer at Woot, however, takes $350 off its usual going rate, marking one of the lowest prices we have tracked for it to date. This is the lowest price we’ve seen for this unit aside from a brief $610 drop at Woot that very few people were able to grab, so be sure to lock this price in after getting more details below.

We just spotted a deal at Amazon that drops Alienware’s 34-inch WQHD 180Hz curved gaming monitor down to $289.99 shipped. This already affordable, value-packed model typically goes for $350, so you’re looking at a $60 discount on it today. While it’s not an all-time low by a huge margin, this is still the steepest price drop we’ve tracked for this model so far this year and one of the lowest prices we’ve seen overall. Only once before today have we seen this display go for less, and it’s now within just $20 of that price. It’s a great budget option to consider if you’re in the market to buy an ultrawide monitor, and you can learn more about it in detail below.

Over at Woot, as part of its wider sale on PC components, you’ll find the updated version of Cooler Master’s Sneaker X PC case down at $329.99 Prime shipped (a $6 delivery fee will apply otherwise). You’re looking at the latest configuration of this case, which comes pre-installed with the brand’s 360mm Flux liquid cooler and an 850W V850W SFX Gold ATX 3.0 power supply. It typically sells for around $700 at Amazon, where it’s currently listed at $497, but today’s deal at Woot takes a huge chunk off its usual going rate with a 53% discount to mark the lowest price we’ve tracked for it. While it’s still pricier than your average PC case, it delivers a great overall value at this discounted price – especially considering it comes with a 360mm liquid cooler and 850W PSU right out of the box. Head below for more details.

Deals on Microsoft’s latest Xbox Ally handhelds have been relatively scarce – especially for the higher-end Xbox Ally X, which has mostly held steady at its $1,000 launch price. If you’d rather not pay full price, Best Buy is now offering an open-box “Excellent” Xbox Ally X for $869.99 shipped. That’s $130 off its typical going rate and the lowest price we’ve tracked so far. We’ve previously seen open-box units hover closer to the $900 range, but this listing dips further to the $870 mark. You can save even more with an open-box “Fair” unit, currently down to $809.99 shipped, delivering up to $190 in savings. There’s also an open-box “Excellent” standard Xbox Ally available for $526.99 shipped, which undercuts the current sale price of a brand-new unit by $73. These are some of the best prices we’ve seen yet on either handheld, so it’s worth taking a closer look below.

Amazon is currently offering LG’s 2025 UltraGear 27-inch QHD 300Hz IPS gaming display for $199.99 shipped. This model debuted last year with a $450 price tag and stayed close to that level until it first dropped to $267 during last year’s Black Friday sale. It has more recently been going for around $297, but today’s deal shaves $97 of that mark to deliver a new best price to beat. It’s now going for $27 less than its previous all-time low and our mention from earlier this year, and it’s at a great price right now if you’re in the market to buy a new gaming display.

As part of a wider sale on Samsung monitors, Woot is offering the brand’s Odyssey (G50SF) 27-inch QHD QD-OLED gaming monitor for $299.99 Prime shipped (a $6 delivery fee will apply otherwise). This is one of the newer entries in the brand’s Odyssey lineup, which debuted late last year with a $550 price tag. It has more recently been going for $500 at Amazon and Samsung, where it’s currently going for $430. Today’s deal at Woot, however, cuts a full $200 off its usual going rate, dropping it $50 below its previous all-time low and our earlier mention this year. That makes this the best price we’ve tracked so far, making an already well-priced QD-OLED gaming monitor an even better value today.

Dell offers plenty of gaming monitors under its Alienware lineup, but the new model we’re looking at today stands out as one of the most affordable QD-OLED options available. The brand has just unleashed new the 27-inch AW2726DM model, featuring a fast 240Hz QD-OLED panel, and it’s now available for $349.99 shipped. That makes it the most budget-friendly QD-OLED display currently in Alienware’s catalog, putting it in direct competition with other entry-level QD-OLED monitors on the market. Head below for a closer look and additional details.

Lenovo is known for showcasing bold concepts at MWC each year, and this time it’s turning heads with a foldable gaming handheld.

You can use it in both vertical and horizontal orientations, which makes it a versatile unit. It’s easily one of the most exciting devices to come out of MWC this year, and you can learn more about it in detail below.

ASUS’ ROG announced its partnership with KOJIMA PRODUCTIONS to create a limited-edition lineup earlier this year, and we’ll soon have the centrepiece of that collab up for grabs.

One of the biggest issues I often run into with Hall effect gaming keyboards is that they typically fall short when it comes to typing experience outside of gaming. The few that do get it right – or at least come close – like the Glorious GMMK 3 Pro HE, usually cost over $300. As someone who enjoys building and tweaking mechanical keyboards as a hobby, I found myself constantly switching between standard mechanical keyboards for typing and Hall effect models for gaming. That changed when I got my hands on the Luminkey Magger68 Pro HE. Built by a brand known for offering a wide range of layouts and catering to enthusiasts with “high-end” custom boards, the Magger68 strikes that rare balance, at least for me. It’s not only great for typing but also includes all the key magnetic keyboard features like customizable actuation points. I’ve been using it as my main keyboard for both work and gaming over the past few weeks, and in this review, I’ll break down whether it’s worth considering for your setup.
