Mechanical keyboards are now an essential part of any gaming setup. Among the endless choices, find the ideal mechanical keyboard for your rig.
Whether a buyer is after a wireless or wired keyboard or mouse, Prime Day is full of possibilities. The deals reflect the latest industry trends, like increasingly compact keyboards and agile lightweight mice.

However, even gamers after full-sized peripherals will find versatile gaming gear at historically low prices. Game Rant has selected the best buying opportunities from major manufacturers like Razer, Logitech, and Corsair.
The Best Prime Day 2024 Keyboard and Mouse Deals
Razer DeathStalker V2 Pro TKL
$136 $220 Save
$84
The Razer DeathStalker V2 Pro TKL headlines a strong lineup of Amazon Prime Day keyboard deals. Gamers who become tired after typing on chunky mechanical keyboards will love the low-profile DeathStalker V2 Pro. A TKL form factor saves even more space in setups without compromising functionality. The keyboard looks particularly attractive in white, while linear optical switches are comfortable to type on for hours at a time. Cutting-edge features like Snap Tap allow casual gamers to play like pros, while Bluetooth connectivity makes it an option for productivity.
Logitech G915 Lightspeed
$160 $250 Save
$90
The competition among wireless low-profile keyboards is fierce on this October Prime Day. The full-sized Logitech G915 Lightspeed is rarely discounted to this extent. Low-profile mechanical switches require minimal typing effort, especially with the Linear option. What also has made the G915 one of the most popular high-end gaming keyboards is its incredible aluminum alloy build. Gamers who prefer dedicated macro keys will appreciate a dedicated row of G-keys on the keyboard’s left side. With a healthy selection of media controls, there is no challenge the G915 Lightspeed isn’t prepared for.
ROCCAT Vulcan II Mini Gaming Keyboard
$55 $120 Save
$65
If a gaming setup looks dull, the affordable Roccat Vulcan II Mini will instantly brighten up desktops. With extremely thin keycaps, a maximum amount of lighting emanating from the keyboard’s base becomes visible. Lighting also has a more practical application, indicating which shortcuts on the ultra-compact 65% layout are active. It might take some practice, but gamers can gain an advantage with the keyboard’s low actuation switches. The Vulcan II Mini is jam-packed with connectivity, enabling gamers to connect to up to three Bluetooth sources or rely on a low-latency RF signal.
Corsair Katar Elite
$50 $80 Save
$30
Prime Day is an opportunity to discover why esports pros gravitate toward the Corsair Katar Elite wireless mouse. With a compact shape and low hump, the Katar Elite is ideal for fingertip and claw grips that allow for maximum control. Another reason why the mouse thrives on competitive circuits is Corsair’s Slipstream Wireless connectivity. Clicks and rapid movements register instantly, enhanced by its maximum 2,000 Hz wireless polling rate. The Katar Elite also performs admirably as a daily driver with Bluetooth compatibility.
HyperX Pulsefire Core Gaming Mouse
$16 $30 Save
$14
On Prime Day, gamers on a strict budget don’t have to accept poor-performing gaming mice. The wired HyperX Pulsefire Core, with a carefully crafted symmetrical shell, successfully caters to most hand sizes and grip types. Its maximum DPI trails behind more expensive alternatives, but extras like dynamic RGB lighting add to its appeal. Seven programmable buttons enable the Pulsefire Core to dominate in FPS titles or other genres.
Razer is discounting some of its top wired and wireless gaming peripherals for this October Prime Day. The DeathStalker V2 Pro stands out among cordless Razer keyboards for its thin profile, only slightly beefier than the Logitech G915. Low-profile linear optical switches register keypresses without hesitation to complement its slim casing. The DeathStalker V2 Pro also showcases one of Razer’s latest software innovations, Snap Tap. While somewhat controversial in the esports world, the feature prevents conflicting left and right inputs from canceling each other out.
Not to be outdone, one of Logitech’s most popular gaming peripherals is also on sale. The G915 Lightspeed is a low-profile wireless keyboard like the Razer DeathStalker V2 Pro, but there are some key differences. Most gaming keyboards now favor compact designs that include only essential keys. With a full-sized layout, the G915 has room for a row of macro keys on its left side. Logitech’s slightly older G915 also has the number pad vital for mathematics and business. The keyboard is quite hefty at over 36 ounces and not the most portable, mainly due to ample aluminum alloy.
Gamers already accustomed to small keyboards have plenty to choose from on Prime Day. The 65% Roccat Vulcan II Mini leads the pack with clever tricks to overcome some missing commands. With Easy-Shift[+], players can assign multiple commands to the same keys. Also, LED lighting makes gamers aware of which commands are activated. The corded Roccat Vulcan II Mini is also the most stunning-looking RGB keyboard buyers will find in its price range. Per-key lighting is clearly visible below through and in between thin keycaps set above its reinforced frame.
Wired and wireless mice are often a major focus of Amazon sales events. For a very reasonable price, the Corsair Katar Elite offers advanced capabilities like a 2,000 Hz wireless polling rate. Designed for esports pros, the wireless mouse has a shape that invites trickier fingertips and claw grips. If buyers prefer a palm grip, the HyperX Pulsefire Core has more of a traditional hump on its shell. For its amazing low asking price, gamers should have a few complaints about the agility of the Pulsefire Core enhanced by low-friction oversized mouse feet.

If the DeathStalker V2 Pro isn’t portable enough for gamers, the Razer BlackWidow V3 Mini HyperSpeed is a more compact option. Although the BlackWidow V3 Mini is chunkier than the DeathStalker V2 Pro, its 65% form factor compensates by ditching most non-essential keys. More practical than 60% layouts, the BlackWidow V3 Mini preserves arrow and other navigation useful for browising documents. This wireless keyboard’s battery life is outstanding, enabling gamers to utilize Bluetooth or low-latency RF connectivity for up to 200 hours.
The Razer Huntsman Mini demonstrates the advantage of 60% keyboards by occupying minimal real estate on desktops. Buyers must accept its wired connectivity, but the Hunstman Mini offers the Doubleshot PBT keycaps and durability to match more expensive alternatives. Gamers can choose from Clicky or Linear optical switches, each using beams of light to detect keypresses precisely. The Huntsman Mini looks particularly dashing as a white keyboard, highlighted by bright and highly customizable Razer Chroma RGB lighting.
The top esports pros use Razer gaming mice for their cutting-edge performance and agility. Amazon Prime Day is an excellent opportunity for casual gamers to level up with normally expensive gear. The Razer Viper V2 Pro HyperSpeed isn’t the most recent Viper wireless mouse, but its Focus Pro 30K optical sensor remains top-class. It’s also lightweight but large enough for medium-sized hands to find the device practical. Optical switches are satisfying to use and can withstand the most furious competitive gaming action.

Much of the focus of the Logitech G715 is on its looks, with a white colorway that appeals to trendsetting content creators. However, this wireless keyboard is about more than appearances and can hold its own against the most advanced gaming gear. The G715 is a TKL keyboard that provides all the functionality a user can ask for besides a number pad. Its GX mechanical switches are very similar to Cherry MX switches and are available in Tactile, Clicky, and Linear varieties. Battery life isn’t the longest at 25 hours, but low-latency wireless typing gives gamers a distinct advantage.
The Logitech G Pro X Superlight is part of the manufacturer’s lightweight mouse lineup, targeting competitive gamers. Prime Day deals are often on last-gen technology, but the more recent Pro X Superlight 2 only marginally improves on its predecessor. The wireless mouse that’s currently discounted impresses with both its easy gliding on surfaces and rock-solid build quality. Thanks to a gentle sloping shell, Logitech carefully crafted the original Pro X Superlight to work with all grip types.
At the opposite end of the spectrum, the Logitech G903 Lightspeed is anything but lightweight. Still, with the added bulk comes a generous eleven-button layout, making the wireless mouse appropriate for any genre. Also, because of the ability to swap buttons on each side of the device, the ambidextrous G903 can even serve as a left-handed gaming mouse. Gamers with medium and larger hands will instantly become more competitive with the mouse’s reliable Lightspeed wireless technology.

Gamers often scorn membrane keyboards, but it’s hard to argue with the SteelSeries Apex 3 TKL’s comprehensive feature set. The version on sale for Prime Day utilizes quiet tactile keys, relieving mechanical keyboards’ incessant clickiness. It’s also built like a premium mechanical keyboard, with a sturdy frame that resists damage from spills. Even though it’s smaller than a full-sized keyboard, the Apex 3 TKL manages to squeeze in media controls toward its upper right corner.
The HyperX Alloy Rise takes customization to the next level, where hot-swappable switches are only the starting point. On the HyperX website, gamers can order replacement top plates, badges, and more to create a truly personalized keyboard. By default, the wired Rise boasts an 8,000 Hz polling rate so buyers can expect ultra-low-latency typing. This HyperX keyboard also has other surprises, like a rarely seen ambient light sensor that preserves battery life by automatically dimming its spectacular RGB lighting.
Keychron keyboards like the K3 Version 2 have an excellent track record for longevity. The K3 is not a gaming keyboard, but its ability to stay connected to up to three Bluetooth devices makes it highly versatile. White LED backlighting is more practical for keeping keys visible even in low-light conditions. A great option as a Mac keyboard, the K3 comes with a Mac layout but also ships with swappable Windows keycaps. Its 75% form factor makes it extremely portable, and low-profile mechanical switches result in hours of effortlessly typing.
Other Prime Day 2024 Mouse Deals
Glorious Gaming mice have a strong following among competitive gamers, but the Model O 2 Wireless appeals to players of all skill levels. Seeing its lowest price yet for Amazon Prime Day, the O 2 Wireless uses circular perforations on its shell to keep its weight reasonable. The mouse showcases the strengths of the BAMF 2.0 optical sensor, maintaining tracking accuracy even during the most rapid motion. Compared to the Model O reviewed by Game Rant, the latest version has an even higher maximum 26,000 DPI sensor and adds Bluetooth connectivity.
The breathable SteelSeries Aerox 3 Wireless is similar to the Glorious Model O 2, with an identical weight and button layout. However, its shell rises more toward the back end, making the mouse easier to control for traditional palm grippers. It’s not the smallest mouse, but the Aerox 3 Wireless glides without resistance on surfaces thanks to PTFE feet. The Aerox 3 Wireless also demonstrates the advantages of USB-C mice, with fast charging and a remarkable 200-hour battery life. Highly customizable RGB lighting effects also look sensational, peeking out from its honeycomb exterior.
Few contenders can match the performance of the EVGA X17 when it comes to the most affordable budget gaming mice. The wired mouse has a more than respectable optical sensor and an 8000 Hz polling rate to virtually eliminate tracking latency. Additional sensors combine to constantly monitor the X17’s position, recognizing lifts off a mouse pad’s surface. Another unexpected perk of the mouse is an adjustable weight system, which allows gamers to customize its feel.
