Boxing Day PC gaming deals in Australia for 2024: Left over pudding and bargains galore

Save AU$268

A nice price on this big ultrawide affair with a respectable 3440x1440 resolution and 160Hz refresh rate. It boasts FreeSync Premium, HDR10, and 1ms motion blue reduction. If you want to become one of those people who bemoan the lack of ultrawide support in modern blockbusters, buying this is a step along that path.

Save AU$400
This Gigabyte workhorse was a highlight during Black Friday, so it's nice to see the same price offered up again for Boxing Day. This is a mighty fine monitor, with a big 32-inch IPS display, a smooth 144Hz refresh rate and a vibrant 400 nits of brightness. This is a solid and dependable 4K monitor well worth investigation at this price.

Save AU$236
The RRP on this set of wireless gaming cans is absolutely bonkers, but this discount brings it down to something way more affordable, albeit a tad higher than the AU$479 we saw it go for on Black Friday. Our review was very enthusiastic, noting its "impressive connectivity, fast charging, hot-swappable batteries and great adjustability". Needless to say its sound quality is bleeding edge premium as well. Not many people need a headset this expensive (even with the discount) but if you're in the market, now's the time.

Save AU$7.50
With Steam Deck now available in Australia, it's the time to start hunting for deals on all-important Steam Deck accessories. Among the most attractive peripherals is a dock, all the better to plug the handheld into a monitor or TV, and this one is a more entry level version of our favourite Steam Deck dock. Ports include HDMI 2.0, which supports 4K at 60Hz, a 100Mbps ethernet port, two USB-A 2.0 ports and a USB-C with charging passthrough. Probably all you'll need to start with.

This 65W power bank is perfect for getting your Steam Deck back to life when you're on the go. The 20,000 mAh capacity also makes it a good option for phones and laptops, so it's a versatile affair that you likely won't regret having around. It's light, efficient, and well worth a purchase with this AU$24 discount.

Also consider the 100W, 25,000mAh Iniu B63 for $76.49.

Save AU$86.24

A brilliant early discount on Turtle Beach's new modular controller, which basically packs in a modern Xbox-style gamepad with a fight stick button layout. I reviewed it earlier this week (that's how new it is) and loved its novel approach to modular design and its hall effect sticks.

Save AU$47.98
This beauty used to be our favourite drift-free hall effect gamepad before it was dethroned by the Razer Wolverine V3 Pro. Mighty Ape was offering it for AU$220 during Black Friday, so this isn't the best price we've seen on this brilliant gamepad, but the discount may be enough to make you take the plunge. Read my 90 / 100 review if you're unconvinced.

Save AU$25.95
It's not at all rare for this Xbox pad to go on sale during sales events, though the same price never applies to all colours. Green was down to AU$59 earlier, but now the white edition is the cheapest in the lead up to Boxing Day, so if you need a new controller it's well worth biting, especially if you're wanting something that'll work across both desktop and Steam Deck.

Save AU$38
You're not playing fighting games on a keyboard, are you? I mean, that's fine if you are, but a controller is immeasurably better for this genre, and if you want to go all-in, a fight stick is even better. This 8BitDo board, sporting a fairly familiar colour palette, supports both Bluetooth and 2.4GHz connectivity for Nintendo Switch and Windows PCs.

Save AU$15.95
Sitting at the other end of Razer's (humungous) mouse pile to the Viper above, the DeathAdder Essential provides excellent no-frills performance, comfort and features for a comparatively tiny price. This one's regularly discounted in basically every major sales event, with this AU$34 price for Boxing Day about as low as we see it.

Save AU$54.99

Glorious is hardly a household name but this is a mouse we can recommend: In Katie's review it's described as "the lightest RGB mouse around", and it better be, with all those holes. The ambidextrous affair is "optimized for competitive gaming", and has a 1000hz polling rate. This is the best price we've seen it go for: AU$40 is good back-up mouse territory.

Save AU$100
This gorgeous 75% keyboard is usually an extremely pricey affair, and while this price doesn't match the AU$279 we saw if go for during Black Friday, this AU$100 saving is still great. It has both Bluetooth and 2.4GHz wireless connectivity, amazing gasket mount keys, and an OLED display at the top right corner so that you don't always have to use Asus's (often annoying) desktop software. If you prefer the white model, that's also going for AU$299.

If you want your keyboard to take up as little space as possible, this is a wireless 65 percenter with low profile optical switches. Small doesn't mean discreet though, so rest assured there's plenty of RGB on this thing. The ROG Falchion RX is the favourite low profile keyboard in our best gaming keyboard list, ticking just about every must-have box including great switches, a sturdy build, and plenty of connectivity options. This is the lowest price yet for this highly regarded model.

Save AU$100
ASUS is not stuffing around with this one: the wireless mechanical slab shot straight to the top of our best gaming keyboards list upon release. We loved its excellent switch feel, effective sound dampening, and an elegantly compact form factor despite being a full-size keyboard. This model dropped to this price during Black Friday when it was the biggest discount yet, so if you missed out then, now's a good time to bite.

Save AU$23

This is a great entry-level USB microphone for streaming, chatting, or recording yourself saying "hey now" like Hank Kingsley in The Larry Sanders Show. It has a lot of the nowadays-essential desktop mic features, including tap-to-mute and an LED indicator to show whether you're live or not. It's a super simple and effective device, but as a caveat: it was down to AU$66.28 during Amazon's recent Big Deal Days extravaganza, so if you need to absolute lowest price, this ain't it.

Save AU$50.01

There's no point buying PC components unless you have something to house it all, and this Corsair case is a great looking and practical way to do it. It comes with a pair of fans, great cable management options and a tempered glass side panel to show off the goodies within. It's got space for cooling radiators too, of course.
