Amazon’s Gaming Week sale ends this weekend - these are the 9 deals you don’t want to miss
Big savings hit Amazon’s digital aisles
All good things must come to an end, and Amazon’s current Gaming Week sale will close out in just a couple of days time. The event is scheduled to end on Sunday May 5, so we’d recommend getting in on some of these record-low prices sooner rather than later.
We’re seeing plenty of discounts across some of the biggest brands in gaming hardware this weekend. Things generally seem to be centered around the PC crew, with particularly strong discounts on keyboards, mice, and headsets. However, console and handheld lovers can also get in on the action. There are plenty of Nintendo Switch accessories with record-breaking savings up for grabs right now, like the Nitro Deck down to $44.99 (was $59.99) and the mClassic upscaler at $84.99 (was $99.99) to boot.
We’ve scoured those shelves for the best and brightest offers in this year’s Amazon Gaming Week sale. That means you’ll find all our favorite discounts on the tech we love just below.

4. Hori Split Pad Compact Attachment Set | $79.99 $55.60 at Amazon
Save $24.39 - Find yourself cramping over smaller Joy-Con? The Hori Split Pad Compact does sacrifice some motion controls and wireless connectivity, but the larger base makes for a far more comfortable experience overall and gives you access to two programmable back buttons as well. This is the lowest price we’ve ever seen on the fully dockable attachment set, with the controller system going below $60 for the first time.
Buy it if:
✅ You don’t need motion controls or rumble
✅ You play in both handheld and docked mode

Save $15 - Another Ninty gadget here. The CRKD Nitro Deck blew us away in testing, offering all the features you can expect to find in official controllers while also providing plenty of extra space on the gamepad. The shell design does bulk out the console a little, but for $44.98 this is excellent value right now - after all, this is a record low price by around $5.
Buy it if:

✅ You still want access to all Switch features
✅ You don’t want to risk thumbstick drift
Don't buy it if:
❌ You prefer a more streamlined form factor

9. Razer Edge | $399.99 $249.99 at Amazon
Save $150 - A massive $150 discount brings the Razer Edge streaming tablet (and Kishi controllers) down to just $249.99. That might seem like a lot for a Game Pass machine, but considering you’re also getting solid Remote Play support (as well as everything else) for just $50 more than Sony’s one trick pony this is a fantastic opportunity. This is the first time we’ve ever seen the Edge down at $249.99 - previous sales tapped out at $299.

When will Amazon Gaming Week end?
The current Amazon Gaming Week sale will officially close out on Sunday May 5, likely at midnight. That means you’ve only got a couple more days to take advantage of this sale - your next chance at savings will be Memorial Day at the end of the month.
Should you wait for Prime Day?
As they do with any Amazon sale, the threat of upcoming Prime Day offers loom large. The summer sale, exclusively for members, generally kicks off around the second week of July so we do have a little wait until then. We’re not exactly expecting this year’s Prime Day gaming deals to significantly better than the offers we’re enjoying at the moment, though. Rather, the scope of discounts will be much wider. If you’ve had your eye on any of the above tech for some time, we’d recommend jumping in - it probably won’t be much cheaper later in the year. However, if you’re still holding out on a gadget that isn’t included in this round of discounts we’d certainly suggest holding out.
Of course, we’re also rounding up all the latest PS5 deals and top Nintendo Switch deals - or take a look at this week’s gaming laptop deals for heavier discounts.
