Best Buy's Memorial Day sale has been flying its banner for a couple of weeks now, but with the holiday weekend coming up fast, things are really starting to heat up. I've spent my morning scrolling through the retailer's entire sale, saving every piece of gaming tech we personally recommend here at GamesRadar+ for further investigation.

That's because I'm not just bringing you the biggest discounts or the lowest prices. Each one of the 12 Best Buy Memorial Day deals just below has been handpicked for two reasons: 1) it's scored highly enough in our reviews to be recommended every day, and 2) it's at, or near, its lowest ever price.

That means every PS5, Xbox, Switch, and PC accessory you see on this list is both worth its salt from a feature, performance, and value standpoint and is offering a genuine bona fide deal this weekend. Just below, you'll find the full sale at a glance before we move into my top Memorial Day picks at Best Buy further down the page.

I started tracking deals at our sister site TechRadar seven years ago, working out where to find the biggest discounts, how to get the best value, and when to dive into major sales. I've since taken that experience over to GamesRadar+, where I also go hands-on with all the latest gaming gadgets to find the products you really need to be watching out for when the sales hit.

Best value gaming mouseSave $32Razer Basilisk V3: was $69.99 now $37.99 at Best Buy

The Razer Basilisk V3 is my favorite gaming mouse for sheer value - and that's without any discounts applied. This older wired rodent is almost always on sale, and it has been a couple of bucks cheaper in the past few months. Still, we're close to the $36 record for 2026 here, and it's still a fantastic buy.

I've only ever seen this record-low $59.99 sales price on the Turtle Beach Kone II Air once before - and that was just a few weeks ago. This is the cheapest the wider, larger mouse has been; I've previously only ever seen rates hovering at about $80 during sales events.

This is the Xbox version, whereas we've had the PS5 iteration in for testing so far. However, it still hit a record-low price in Best Buy's Memorial Day sales and promises the same slick functionality and up-to-date features for old-school Guitar Hero fans. New school Fortnite Festival fans are also welcome.

An oldie but a goodie - in both product and price. The HyperX Cloud Alpha Wireless has been around for some time now, but nobody's come close to beating its 300-hour battery life. Today's $119.99 sale price is nothing new either, but it is the cheapest this headset ever goes for.

I've only ever seen prices on this Reloaded model of the Victrix Pro BFG bottoming out at around $170 in the past, and we're an extra $20 lower than that in Best Buy's Memorial Day sale. While the older model can be found for less than $100 on a really good day, this is the only version currently discounted by a significant amount.

The best gaming keyboard I've tested to date is available for its lowest price yet - that's a sentence that makes an excellent deal. The Corsair Vanguard Pro 96 is no stranger to this $159.99 sales position, but I haven't seen this $70 discount in just under two months now.

The Stream Deck Plus is $20 off at Best Buy, taking that $179.99 MSRP back down to a record-low $159.99. That's as cheap as this boosted Stream Deck goes, and other stores are still stuck at MSRP.

At $179.99, we're back down to the lowest price I've seen on the Corsair TC100, with this model opting for a leatherette finish rather than the fabric found elsewhere. Amazon is still at $199.99 here - the usual sales price we see whenever this seat goes on sale.

The Thrustmaster T248 is an older wheel, so it's not as widely available these days. While prices at other retailers are surging with third-party sellers, Best Buy has the force feedback Xbox wheel back down to its lowest price ever on clearance right now.

The Turtle Beach VelocityOne KD3 racing wheel has never dropped below today's $249.99 sales price. That's a $200 discount on the original $450 rate, and one that's only started appearing in the last few months. Just make sure your favorite titles are compatible first.

This one's slightly different. The SteelSeries Arctis Nova Pro Omni is now our number one gaming headset, but this is the model it had to beat to get there. With both devices sitting in the same family, this is an excellent opportunity to secure a discount on a top-rated set of cups. The Arctis Nova Pro Wireless has been $30 cheaper in the past, but I've only seen those numbers drop to $289.99 in 2026 so far.

This Intel Arc B570 configuration of the iBuyPower Slate sidesteps ever-increasing prices with its slightly older GPU - but you're still getting DDR5 RAM under the hood as well. At $1,099.99, it's one of the few reasonably priced gaming PCs on the shelves this Memorial Day.
