Our own Ben Wilson conducted our Razer Leviathan V2 Soundbar (2-piece) review and found that this audio accessory offers some spectacular THX spatial audio speakers alongside a great subwoofer. In his review, Ben said, “Adjusting the equalizer to my preferred settings with high bass and treble meant that everything I played back sounded tremendously intense.”
Now, it’s worth noting that you can also get the soundbar on its own at a deal price. It usually sells for $99.99, but it’s currently only $84.99 at Best Buy. There’s also a renewed option selling for $62.99 at Amazon, so you’ve got a few deal options to choose from.
Something to note is that the V2 version does not feature a 3.5mm and optical audio port like the V1 did. However, it does support Bluetooth 5.2 for a wireless connection. Plus, you can adjust the fun RGB lighting using Razer apps until you get just the right effects and colors you want. — Rebecca Spear

I’m not the one who reviewed the Razer Basilisk V3 Pro wireless gaming mouse for Windows Central, but this is still the mouse I personally choose to use every day. Whatever mouse I may be reviewing, the Basilisk V3 Pro always coerces me back with its unbeatable ergonomics, loads of additional features, colorful aesthetics, and excellent performance. Being able to wirelessly charge it with Razer’s Mouse Dock Pro (which also acts a wireless receiver) is just another benefit.
I love this mouse, but the comfort and that smart scroll wheel are definitely the highlights for me. This mouse is heavy and absolutely designed for right-handed users, but those willing to sacrifice a little bit of raw performance in exchange for additional features and luxuries will certainly not be disappointed in the Basilisk V3 Pro.
It’s worth mentioning that this mouse recently got an upgraded version, but it’s difficult to recommend the Razer Basilisk V3 Pro 35K when it’s largely the exact same mouse but with slightly better performance and slightly longer battery life. The regular Basilisk V3 Pro is always around $30 cheaper now, but this deal doubles that gap — basically, don’t get the newer version. The original Basilisk V3 Pro is the far better deal, giving you 99% of the same mouse experience at a fraction of the price. — Zachary Boddy

When I reviewed the Razer BlackShark V2 Pro (2023), I was almost upset by how good it was. My previous review had been for the Razer Kraken Kitty V2 Pro headset, and I simply couldn’t bring myself to return to it after I experienced the BlackShark V2 Pro. My cat ears were gone, but in its place I got a best-in-class microphone, amazing comfort, incredible audio performance, and a battery that just didn’t want to die.
I reviewed many headsets after the Razer BlackShark V2 Pro, but none convinced me to give it up… Until now. The Razer Kraken V4 Pro I recently reviewed finally took that place, but even then the BlackShark V2 Pro has the superior microphone and far better endurance for literally half the price. This is a headset favored by esports athletes for a reason, and I still recommend it wholeheartedly. Sadly, it rarely goes on sale.
Well, Black Friday is here, and the Razer BlackShark V2 Pro (2023) is enjoying a rare discount that brings it down to $179.99 at Best Buy. It’s not the craziest deal, but I recommend this headset at full price — so it deserves extra recommendation when it’s discounted. — Zachary Boddy

I always said that this Razer Xbox controller and quick charge stand was overpriced and purely for those with money to burn, but frankly now it’s on sale if I could get this at this price in the UK, I’d be seriously reconsidering my position. If you are really fond of the Razer signature branding as well as the transparent style reminiscent of the old Xbox Phantom controllers (and now the Cipher collection) this a great bundle that gets you both the sexy controller and a matching Razer Quick charge stand. At $129.99 rather than the eye watering OG price of $199.99, it’s easier to stomach and it’s certainly a collectors dream — Jennifer Young

The Razer Huntsman V2 has been around for a while now, but age is nothing but a number for great products like this. The Huntsman line is where Razer first dabbled with its optical switches, using light beams instead of metal contacts for instant actuation.
It’s every bit the premium keyboard. It’s built like a tank, too, so it’ll last the course. For general everyday use, the purple switch version is definitely the best, and it’s hardly a slouch for gaming, either. If you’re purely wanting the best gaming performance, Razer also offers a linear optical switch.
I didn’t write our review, Editor-in-Chief, Daniel Rubino, did, but I’ve spent many long hours using a Huntsman V2 of my own, and I’m in the same agreement. It’s epic. — Richard Devine

Razer made its name with gaming mice, and now has a wide variety of mice across every price range and product category. Orochi caters to the mobile warriors, Basilisk for those that demand the most in features and ergonomics, Viper for ambidextrous gaming pros, Naga for those who need all the buttons, Cobra for a balance of features and performance, and… DeathAdder. These mice are all about pure performance, designed for esports and hardcore competitive players with designs sculpted to the right hand.
The Razer DeathAdder V3 I reviewed is the current baby in the lineup, but it’s absolutely no slouch when it comes down to it. Tactile and reliable optical mouse switches, 8,000Hz polling rates over a frictionless braided cable, 30,000 DPI sensitivity, and less than 60g of weight make the DeathAdder V3 a beast on the gaming battlefield. It’s a stellar mouse, and it’s a shockingly good value considering the sheer capabilities, even at its full retail price.
As I concluded in my review, “It’s hard to fault the Razer DeathAdder V3, which more than justifies its price tag with incredible performance and a design so light it simply fades away in use. As long as you’re okay with a wire and a right-handed design, the DeathAdder V3 is guaranteed not to disappoint.” Shaving $25 off that price tag is no laughing matter, although you’ll have to be okay with dragging that wire around. — Zachary Boddy

Iterating on its predecessor with cutting-edge Wi-Fi 7 connectivity and Intel’s 14th Gen Core i9-14900HX processor, the Blade 18’s 2024 refresh comes with NVIDIA’s most powerful RTX 4090 graphics card if you spring for the ‘Mercury Edition.’ It’s a fancy name for silver, but it looked great on the Blade 14 (2023) Mercury Edition when we tested that and should suit its gigantic 18-inch sibling just fine. Able to run absolutely any PC game out there, the Razer Blade 18 is the company’s high-end gaming laptop with the best components you could hope for.
As I said in my review, “There’s really nothing else to it: the Razer Blade 18 is the best gaming laptop in the world. Thankfully, the 2024 refresh sticks with a design that’s as subtle as possible and doesn’t scream, “look at me, I’m a gamer,” with oversaturated RGB.”
This beast of a portable gaming workstation doesn’t see too many deals that bring it down to the realms of normality, but Woot has it for a rare 20% discount, and it won’t last long at this price. — Ben Wilson
