If you\u2019re an avid gamer, this year\u2019s Black Friday deals<\/a> could help you supercharge your set-up. Big brands such as Razer, Secretlab<\/a> and Nintendo<\/a> are already offering significant discounts on their own stock, while retailers like Currys<\/a>, Amazon<\/a> and Very<\/a> are keeping pace with their own hefty gaming deals.<\/p>\n

Always keen for an upgrade, I decided to peruse the best Black Friday gaming deals<\/a> and see if I could build a seriously strong gaming set-up, a shrine to all-things interactive that can stand proudly in your home. I browsed the biggest deals on gaming chairs<\/a>, Nintendo Switch consoles<\/a>, monitors and much more to pull together the best of the best.<\/p>\n

I\u2019ve already got a gaming set-up that I\u2019m pretty happy with, but these Black Friday deals are making me seriously consider wringing the changes and bringing in some powerful new hardware to bolster my capabilities. Is it possible to justify a second gaming chair when I\u2019ve only got one arse? Now\u2019s the time to find out.<\/p>\n

If you\u2019re willing to pay a little extra for a more powerful machine, there are deals at eBuyer on the Razer Blade Pro range<\/strong><\/a> \u2013 prices start at \u00a31,339.97, and you could save up to \u00a3880 over there, and some of those eBuyer deals even throw in a free Razer Iskur gaming chair! If you don\u2019t want to break the bank quite that much, though, the Stealth deal at Laptops Direct is nothing short of a steal.<\/p>\n

What\u2019s the deal: <\/strong>A third off this Alienware AW510K keyboard.<\/p>\n
Why we chose it:\u00a0<\/strong>If your gaming nook is looking a bit dingey, why not lighten it up with this gorgeous keyboard from Dell\u2019s Alienware range? Not only is it light in terms of colour, but it also boasts a staggering amount of customisation with its deeply impressive RGB lighting. And it has dedicated volume control, allowing you to make audio adjustments on the fly.<\/p>\n
Very has knocked \u00a345 off the price here, bringing the AW510K keyboard price down to just under \u00a395 \u2013 that\u2019s a small price to pay for an item that, as well as being great for gaming, will make your set-up look a lot nicer.<\/p>\n

What\u2019s the deal:\u00a0<\/strong>An almost half-price saving on this 2TB SSD.<\/p>\n
Why we chose it: <\/strong>With all of the gaming you\u2019re going to be doing, it would be wise to invest in some extra storage. And here\u2019s the good news \u2013 Amazon has knocked \u00a3171 off this chunky Western Digital SSD, taking 48% off the 2TB version\u2019s RRP and bringing the price down to a tempting \u00a3181.99.<\/p>\n
In our full WD Black D30 review<\/a>, its high price point was one of the biggest turn-offs, so this deal makes it look a lot more like a reasonable purchase. And so, you might want to strike while the iron\u2019s hot \u2013 grab one now and secure storage space for all of your gaming needs!<\/p>\n

What\u2019s the deal:\u00a0<\/strong>A \u00a313.98 saving on this Switch bundle featuring the new OLED console.<\/p>\n
Why we chose it:<\/strong> Buying a console this Black Friday won\u2019t be particularly easy \u2013 PS5 Black Friday deals<\/a> are likely to be non-existent due to the ongoing PS5 stock issues<\/a>, and Xbox Series X stock<\/a> could be hard to find as well \u2013 but the Switch OLED should be available, as will Microsoft\u2019s Xbox Series S<\/a>, and it\u2019s very easy to recommend Nintendo\u2019s beautiful portable console.<\/p>\n
Black Friday Nintendo Switch deals<\/a> can be found in a variety of places, but this one really caught our eye. As well as getting the stunning new screen of the OLED Switch, you also get a 256GB SanDisk Memory Card and a copy of Pok\u00e9mon: Shining Pearl, and you\u2019ll save a few quid at the same time.

What\u2019s the deal: <\/strong>Over a third off this top gaming headset.<\/p>\n
Why we chose it:<\/strong> Buying one of the best gaming headsets<\/a> is rarely a cheap endeavour, but this Amazon deal makes one of our favourite options a whole lot more affordable. With an \u00a380 discount knocking a third off the price, bringing it down to just \u00a3159.99, the LucidSound LS50X headset now looks more alluring than ever before.<\/p>\n
In our full LucidSound LS50X review<\/a>, we said, \u201cIf you\u2019re the type of person that wants to play on the Xbox when you\u2019re at home, as well as having the option of connecting to your phone via Bluetooth for a podcast or linking up with a Nintendo Switch for on-the-go gaming, you\u2019ll find that this headset meets all of those needs as well as being comfy.\u201d<\/p>\n

What\u2019s the deal: <\/strong>Receive \u00a350 promotional credit back when you buy an Oculus Quest 2 at Amazon.<\/p>\n
Why we chose it:<\/strong> You could argue that the Oculus Quest 2<\/a> is the ultimate Black Friday deal \u2013 it\u2019s already affordable, compared to most other VR headsets, you don\u2019t even need a PC to start playing games on it, and now Amazon will give you \u00a350 promotional credit back when you buy an Oculus Quest 2, and you spend that credit on whatever you want to buy from Amazon.<\/p>\n
You rarely see full-on price-drops for the Oculus Quest 2, so this really is the best way to buy one at the moment. And considering that Amazon sells pretty much everything these days, you could spend that \u00a350 on all sorts of things. Good times.<\/p>\n

Why we chose it:<\/strong> Whether you\u2019ve been dabbling in PC gaming for years or you\u2019ve only just discovered the wonders of computers, there\u2019s almost always room for improvement when it comes to your gaming mouse. If you\u2019re looking to get one right at the top of the food chain, the very well-received Logitech G903 is well worth considering.<\/p>\n
Offering one millisecond response times even in its wireless form, this mouse is one of the best on the market, and it looks pretty cool as well. And with a massive 55% off at Amazon, you could do a lot worse than picking one up today.<\/p>\n
