Our best budget gaming monitor is just £135 / $145 for Black Friday
The Black Friday gaming monitor deals have been a little lacklustre this year, but your deals herald has finally found one worth shouting about. It's on the AOC C24G1, our best gaming monitor pick for those on a budget, which is now down to a very agreeable £135 / $145 over on Amazon.

Build a Half-Life: Alyx ready PC for under £650 / $600 with these Black Friday deals
It's all very well me telling you what the best Black Friday graphics card deals are, or the best SSD deals are this Black Friday season, but even I'm prepared to admit that it can all seem a bit meaningless unless you've got a specific goal in mind, or you really, really need a very particular upgrade for your ailing PC. Fortunately, your deals herald…
This Asus ROG laptop is probably the best Black Friday gaming laptop deal I’ve seen so far
What's this? Another visit from your deals herald today? I do apologise, I really do, but I simply must tell you about this Asus ROG Strix gaming laptop deal I've found, because this Nvidia GTX 1660 Ti powered gaming machine is really quite a steal in Best Buy's Black Friday sale. Normally $1400, the Asus ROG Strix G731GU-BI7N9 is now down to a very sweet…
If you've been checking out this week's Steam Autumn Sale, you might have noticed one particular bargain: the Steam Controller, Valve's bizarre owl-eyed gamepad, had its price slashed by a whopping 90%. Unfortunately, there's a good reason for that - they're the last Steam Controllers that'll ever be released. If you haven't grabbed by one now, that's it. Tough luck. The Steam Controller's death heralds…
Get an RTX 2060 PC and a monitor for £999 in this Dell Black Friday deal
It's yer deals herald back again with another hot deals tip this morning, this time on a Dell Inspiron Gaming desktop bundle for £999. That's over £450 off its usual price, but hurry, as this mega deal won't last long. At time of writing, it's already been 56% claimed.
Feature: Five mice entered, one remains...
The RPS Readers’ official Favourite Gaming Mouse of 2019 is…
Last week, I asked you what's your favourite gaming mouse? Hundreds of mice came squeaking at our doors, but only five were strong enough to break into our voting arena. All of them hailed from the ranks of Razer and Logitech, and now, after a weekend of duking it out inside our specially prepared battle royale cage, one has emerged victorious. That mouse is the…
Get £41 off the Steelseries Arctis 3 headset this Black Friday
Steelseries' Arctis gaming headsets are some of my favourite headsets of all time thanks to their great audio quality and super comfortable headbands, and last year's Black Friday had loads of great deals available across the range. This year is no different (as our just-updated Black Friday headset deals hub can attest), but if you're looking to get one of the cheaper Arctis headsets on…
Google Stadia is reportedly overheating some Chromecast Ultras
Oh, Google Stadia. I'd feel bad for the thing, if it wasn't an absolutely naff concept from a data-hungry megacorp. In the latest in a long line of launch blunders, some users are now reporting that playing games on the dang thing is burning up their Chromecast Ultras, running the plug-in devices hot enough to shut down during play. Finding and keeping a stable connection…
AMD's best graphics card for 1080p gaming, the Radeon RX 590, is down to a bonkers £150 as part of Overclockers UK's Black Friday graphics card deals at the moment, making it a much better bargain than many of the current cheap Nvidia deals going on.

Every G-Sync Compatible monitor confirmed so far and how to enable G-Sync on a FreeSync monitor
Nvidia's list of G-Sync Compatible monitors grows larger with every passing month, and there are now even a handful of 2019 LG TVs that now support their variable refresh rate technology. What's more, with [block id="605515" title="Black Friday"] getting closer and closer, there couldn't be a better time to pick up a gaming monitor on the cheap that can make use of Nvidia's super smooth…
Amazon’s Alienware Black Friday monitor deals are cheaper than Dell’s
Dell's Black Friday deals started earlier today, but Amazon have already gazumped them on Alienware's ultrawide AW3418DW monitor. This curved 34in, 3440x1440, 120Hz IPS Nvidia G-Sync panel is down to £850 over on Dell's website right now, offering a saving of just over £320 off its normal £1170 price. Amazon, however, have got it for £849, the cheeky so-and-sos.
Feature: But it's not great value for money
Acer’s Predator XN253Q is a perfectly okay 144Hz Nvidia G-Sync screen
Ever since Nvidia introduced their G-Sync Compatible driver so that cheap AMD FreeSync screens could play nice with Nvidia graphics cards, full-fat G-Sync monitors have had to work a heck of a lot harder to earn their keep. After all, why pay almost double the money to get smooth, tear-free gaming on a proper G-Sync monitor when you can get pretty much the same experience…
Samsung SSD prices just keep on falling in Amazon’s Black Friday SSD deals
Happy Black Friday week fellow deals hunters, and boy do I have some fresh SSD deals for you this morning. Hot off the back of Amazon's pre-Black Friday sale at the beginning of last week, the Samsung 970 Evo Plus and the portable Samsung T5 SSD are now even cheaper than they were a couple of days ago. Plus, there are some very nice deals…
Feature: Cheap games, games and more games
Batten down the hatches, folks, because the flurry of dark, black (and varying shades of black) Friday-based deals is upon us. That's right. Despite there being an entire week before the storm that is Black Friday hits our shores, the shop barons just can't help themselves. It's a deals frenzy out there, whether you're looking at hardware or just a simple discount on a game…
Feature: Vote now for your bestest best mouse
Earlier this week, I asked you what's your favourite gaming mouse? and you answered that call in your droves. Thank you! There were a lot of votes to tally, but having counted them all up I now come to you with another question. Five mice have emerged as your runaway favourites, but which one is truly the bestest best gaming mouse of all? Vote now.

Samsung’s titanic CRG9 is an absolute unit, but there’s still, somehow, room in my heart for it
The Samsung CRG9 is easily the most preposterous gaming monitor I've ever laid eyes on. It's not the sheer size of it that boggles the mind. Oh no. A diagonal of 49in and an aspect ratio of 32:9 is nothing after last year's equally large and equally wide CHG90 monitor. It's the resolution of the damn thing, which stands at a mad 5120x1440. That's the…
Feature: A truly powerful gaming headset
I ditched my keyboard for a headset for a day and it kinda worked?
Logitech's G935 headset is quite possibly the most powerful gaming headset of all time. It's so mighty, in fact, that I was able to push my keyboard to one side after I'd set it up, as its three rear-facing function buttons gave me all the tools I needed to control my entire PC from it. Okay, that's maybe a slight exaggeration, but when said buttons…
The Oculus Quest just got a little bit better. Well, for some people at least. As of November 18, Oculus' Link software is now in beta, meaning Quest owners can now play PC-based Rift games using their portable headset. There are, however, some pretty big catches, like the fact you need an Nvidia-based gaming PC in order for it to work because it currently doesn't…
Loads of gaming monitors are going cheap right now in these definitely not Black Friday deals
Another day, another sack load of early, but definitely not Black Friday deals, this time on a bunch of gaming monitors. As with yesterday's Samsung SSD deals, it's entirely possible you'll find better savings come next week when Black Friday proper really kicks into gear, but with plenty of all-time low prices on screens from LG, Samsung, MSI and Asus, there are still plenty of…

Endgame Gear’s XM1 mouse is light in size and light on features
When I first clapped eyes on the new Endgame Gear XM1, I thought I'd accidentally picked up my trusty Logitech G Pro Wireless again. Aside from the obvious wire sticking out of the XM1, both gaming mice have smooth, lightweight shells that fill the palm and sit close to the ground, and both have two small black side buttons that feel nigh-on identical in shape…
