Posted on February 12, 2017

Taking a break from internal components, we’ve assembled a list of gaming peripherals on sale for those finishing up a new build or looking to upgrade their current gear. We have found a couple keyboards equipped with Cherry MX switches as well as some gaming mice, and even some RGB mousepads, if you need to have RGB in your set up. If neither of the selected keyboards meet all your needs, check out our Best Mechanical Keyboards of 2016 article for more options.

Cougar ATTACK X3 Gaming Keyboard ($60) - Newegg is having a sale on the Cougar ATTACK X3 Gaming Keyboard with Cherry MX Brown switches. The ATTACK X3 Keyboard is part of Cougar’s gaming line and features genuine Cherry MX switches. The ATTACK X3 is available with Cherry MX Brown, Blue, and Red switches, however the $60 price tag is only applicable to the Brown switch variant. The Cougar ATTACK X3 features N-Key rollover and independent red LEDs with 5 brightness adjustment settings. This deal runs through Wednesday, 2/15.

Corsair STRAFE Mechanical Keyboard ($79) - Keeping with Cherry MX outfitted keyboards, Amazon has a deal going on the Corsair STRAFE Mechanical Keyboard with Cherry MX Red switches and Red LED backlighting. GamersNexus reviewed this keyboard back in 2015, and at that time we praised it for its build quality and features. Amazon also has the Corsair STRAFE with Cherry MX Blues on sale for the same $79, if a tactile clicky switch is more your pace.

Razer Firefly Chroma Mouse Pad ($50) - RGB LEDs have been integrated into most higher end components and peripherals, and now mouse pads are no exception. The Razer Firefly Chroma is an RGB LED mouse pad available in both a hard and cloth material. The hard surface Razer Firefly Chroma is available for $50 over on Amazon, while the cloth variant is $60. The Firefly Chroma mouse pad covers the standard 16.8 million RGB color spectrum and is customizable through Razer’s Chroma software.

G.SKILL RIPJAWS MX780 RGB Gaming Mouse ($45) - If you need an RGB mouse to go on that Razer Firefly Chroma, Amazon has G.SKILL’s MX780 RGB gaming mouse on sale for $45. The G.SKILL MX780 features 4 zones for RGB customization and five onboard storage profiles that can be customized by the user. In terms of customization, the mouse is ambidextrous and has interchangeable side grips and weights allowing users to personalize the exterior. If you would like to purchase this through Newegg, it’s listed on sale for $45 as well.
