Amazon's Gaming Week sale has just dropped onto the shelves, promising discounts on all your favorite gadgets until May 4. The majority of discounts are centered around PC accessories with the odd game thrown in for good measure, but there are some gems to be unearthed.

I've scrolled that entire sale this morning, hunting down all the controllers, mice, headsets, keyboards, and more that I can personally recommend. I whittled that list down to only the best gaming hardware at (or near) record-low prices, and that leaves us with 13 deals.

From some of the top gaming mice I've had my hands on to my personal go-to controllers, there's plenty of excellent tech at particularly strong value right now. I go hands-on with these products every day, so you can rest assured that all the deals below represent the very cream of the crop from this week's sale.

Save $400 - This is an older release, but that means Amazon is only more keen to shift it from the shelves. The Alienware AW3423DW is still one of the more popular models, with its levelled specs and fantastic QD-OLED panel. It's been this cheap a few times this year, but I've never seen it drop lower.

When does the Amazon Gaming Week sale end?

Amazon's Gaming Week sale runs from today until May 4, likely closing up shop at midnight. That means there's a full week of gaming deals to take advantage of, and plenty of competing sales (like Newegg's PC Gaming Week sale) to price-match against.

I'm also rounding up all the latest gaming laptop deals and the top PS5 bundles and Nintendo Switch bundles of the week as well.
