Cyber Monday Gaming Deals 2025: Upgrade Your Rig for Less

UGREEN's 300W desktop charger is a beast for multi-device battlestations; during our review we powered two laptops, a tablet, and accessories from its bank of USB-C ports plus a handy USB-A. GaN tech keeps efficiency high and size reasonable for a desk-bound unit, simplifying cable chaos. That said, it's not travel-friendly, and several users report USB-C ports failing after months, with mixed warranty experiences. If you value raw output and fewer wall warts, it's compelling; just buy from a retailer with reliable support.

Anker's 747 GaNPrime packs up to 150W shared across four ports, so during our review we comfortably charged a USB-C laptop alongside a Switch, phone, and earbuds from a single wall plug. It's notably more compact than many high-watt bricks, making it travel-friendly for hotel and office hops. Be aware the unit can run warm under heavy loads, and some users only see up to 100W to a single device. We also encountered occasional reconnects when all ports were populated.

If you need one cable that handles charging, data, and display, this Cable Matters USB-C to USB-C hit the sweet spot in our testing: up to 100W Power Delivery, 5 Gbps transfers, and 4K60 video to a monitor. It's great for docking a laptop or Steam Deck with a single lead. Keep in mind it's USB 3.1 Gen 1, not 10Gbps or USB4/Thunderbolt speeds, and the six-foot length may be limiting. Our experience shows occasional compatibility quirks with devices requiring specific alt-mode protocols.

If you want a laptop-class pack, the Anker 737 delivers up to 140W from a single port with a helpful color screen showing real-time watts and capacity. During our review, it refueled rapidly when paired with a high-wattage charger, making quick turnarounds easy between matches or flights. It is chunky for slim bags and pricier than basic banks, so occasional users may not need this muscle. Also note there’s no UPS-style passthrough, so it won’t keep devices alive during power interruptions.

The Anker Prime 250W is a desk-friendly powerhouse, pushing up to 250W across six ports with one USB‑C delivering 140W for hungry gaming laptops. In our testing, the 2.26-inch LCD and control dial made it easy to monitor draw and prioritize ports, streamlining a multi-device setup. It is hefty at around 640 grams and more home-base than travel charger, and early units needed firmware tweaks for display quirks. Clock Mode shows the time, but there’s no alarm functionality.

Packing up to 100W USB Power Delivery, the Baseus Blade is a slim, bag-friendly power bank that can top up a USB-C laptop between matches. In our testing, the dual USB-C plus USB-A ports made it easy to juice a notebook, controller, and phone at once. Be aware that sustained 100W output can drop due to thermal throttling, and some phones won't hit expected fast-charge rates. With occasional quality-control complaints, we suggest buying from a retailer with painless returns, but the value is strong.

Looking for an inexpensive spare USB-C cable? This 6-foot Anker nylon braid held up well in our testing, delivering reliable 60W charging to phones, handhelds, and ultrabooks while giving you extra reach on the couch or at your desk. Just note it's USB 2.0 for data, so transfers cap around 480 Mbps, and it's not ideal for larger laptops that need more than 60W. Our experience shows occasional fit quirks with certain ports, but for the price it's a solid everyday pick.

For a single-brick solution, this Anker charger packs up to 140W and four ports (three USB‑C, one USB‑A), so your laptop, handheld, and phone can share. We found the built‑in color display genuinely useful, showing live wattage, port status, and temperature at a glance. Expect power to split when all ports are active, which reduces top speed, and we observed brief renegotiation pauses when adding devices. It’s heavier than tiny travel cubes, but the versatility more than makes up for it.

For wired purists chasing the lowest latency, the Razer Viper 8KHz’s true 8000 Hz polling and crisp clicks deliver snappy, consistent input. During our review, the lightweight ambidextrous shell suited fingertip and claw grips well, though the thicker cable can feel draggy without a bungee. Some users flag side-button and scroll-wheel ergonomics or durability, and macOS support in Synapse is limited. If you play on Windows and want esports-grade response on a budget, this is a strong value.

For a budget 27-inch 1440p upgrade, the TUF VG27AQ3A delivers a snappy 180Hz refresh and a fast IPS panel with punchy, ~130% sRGB color that looked vibrant in our testing. It's a strong pick for competitive shooters and RPGs alike, with HDR10 support for compatible titles. That said, some motion blur can creep in during the fastest scenes, and peak brightness is modest for sunlit rooms. Given occasional out-of-box QC reports, we'd buy from a retailer with an easy exchange window.

Chasing flicks and fast aim? The Logitech Pro X Superlight 2 SE feels almost weightless in hand, and in our testing its clicks and sensor latency were exceptionally crisp for competitive shooters. The refined, symmetrical shape and sturdy build make long sessions comfortable. Downsides: the included receiver tops out at 1000Hz polling, there are fewer side buttons than MMO mice, and there's no Bluetooth for low-power pairing. If you prioritize pure performance, it's a killer deal at this price.

Chasing esports responsiveness? The Huntsman V3 Pro TKL’s adjustable actuation and Rapid Trigger let you dial in ultra-light taps for faster resets, and the build feels solid with better sound-dampening. During our review, onboard controls and quick profile switching meant we rarely opened Synapse—good thing, since the software can be buggy or laggy. The included wrist rest’s weak magnetic attachment wanders a bit, and the $189 price is steep. Still, competitive players will appreciate the precision and consistency.

Razer’s Viper V3 Pro feels almost weightless at about 54 grams, helping quick flicks and micro-corrections land exactly where you want. In our testing, the 35K Focus Pro sensor tracked flawlessly and 8,000 Hz HyperPolling wireless delivered ultra-low latency for top-tier play. Battery life takes a noticeable hit at 8K, and the premium price stings, especially with occasional user reports of scroll-wheel or sensor hiccups. If you prioritize speed and precision, it’s a standout performer.

During our review, the Sabrent Rocket PCIe 4.0 posted blistering sequential speeds up to roughly 7.1 GB/s read and 6.6 GB/s write, and the 2TB model held strong during long, sustained transfers. It's solid value against other Gen 4 options if you're expanding a game library or speeding up project loads. Do plan for thermals; our testing shows it can run hot under heavy use, so a heatsink helps. We also noted user reports of sudden failures and detection hiccups; register to unlock the full warranty.

Microsoft’s Elite Series 2 remains a customization beast with swappable sticks and D‑pads, adjustable tension, and rear paddles you can remap in the Xbox Accessories app. Our experience shows the built‑in rechargeable battery lasts through marathon sessions and the USB‑C dock makes top-ups painless. That said, long-term durability has been questioned—some users report bumper failures or sticky face buttons—and the potentiometer sticks are more drift-prone than Hall‑effect designs. If you want pro-level control on Xbox, it’s still compelling.

The HyperX Cloud III keeps comfort front and center with plush memory-foam earcups that stayed cozy in our longest sessions. We found the microphone clarity excellent—class-leading for team chat—making callouts crisp without fuss. At $69.99, the value is strong, though virtual surround/DTS effects felt inconsistent and the soundstage can seem thin for music. A few users report occasional software or firmware hiccups; for straightforward, reliable wired gaming audio, it’s still a smart pick.

The Elgato Stream Deck MK.2 is a creator's cheat code; during our testing we loved assigning macros and custom icons to the tactile LCD keys for streaming, edits, and daily shortcuts. The detachable USB-C cable and 45-degree stand make placement and travel simple, and the swappable faceplate lets you add personality. Downsides include occasional software/plugin hiccups and no dedicated audio dial for quick volume tweaks. Note that some Adobe apps need plugins for deep integration, but setup is straightforward once configured.

At $59.88, the 8BitDo Ultimate Wireless hits a sweet spot for multi-platform play on Switch, Windows, and Steam Deck. In our testing, the drift-resistant Hall‑effect/TMR sticks delivered precise aim and long-term peace of mind, and the included charging dock kept it topped up between sessions. Just note the RGB lighting can noticeably cut wireless battery life, and the sealed battery isn’t easily replaced. Our experience shows occasional long-term dock reliability quirks, but overall it’s a flexible, comfortable pick for budget-conscious gamers.

The SteelSeries Arctis Nova Wireless Gen 2 nails the basics for marathon sessions; our testing found the fit plush and the battery lasting over two days of play per charge. Simultaneous 2.4GHz and Bluetooth is clutch for chatting on your phone while gaming on PC or console. Trade-offs: the mic can sound a bit tinny, the wide USB-C dongle may crowd nearby ports, and highs are slightly sharp out of the box. After EQ tweaks, we found the sound balanced and engaging.
