12 Amazon buys our shopping writers bought in 2024 that are ‘worth every penny’
1. Headset
Shop here for £79.99 down from £129.99
Unsurprisingly for some, the Razer Kraken V3 Wired headset still takes the cake for me as one of the best headsets I’ve ever put on my head, and I’m not the only one.
Boasting thousands of 5-star reviews on Amazon, you can claim these “really comfortable” beauties, which have shoppers raving “These headphones are by far the best I’ve had” while they’re reduced from a steep £130, to well under the £100 mark.
Though they lack Bluetooth connectivity, this headset and mic combo certainly make up for it with their revolutionary surround sound and noise cancelling, for the optimum gameplay day or night.
2. Mouse
Shop here for £59.99 down from £139.99
I’m a strong believer that a gaming mouse is essential regardless of whether you’re gaming or not – I couldn’t live without my Logitech mouse. With the convenient side buttons that you can easily program to suit your needs, this gem is a major step up from your everyday PC add-on.
Operating with a HERO 25K sensor and lightspeed technology, this bad boy is set to be ultra-fast – perfect if you enjoy rapid-fire first-person shooters. Not to mention, it’s wireless – so say goodbye to those irritating cables getting in your way. And, right now, it’s nearly 60% off.

Not the largest discount, but certainly not one to miss. This beautiful keyboard is currently discounted by a pleasant £13, while still remaining one of the more affordable options for anyone looking to grab an LED back-lit keyboard that comes with all the essentials you could possibly want.
Boasting a number keypad, which I personally still love, this wonder also offers 5 macro keys that are essential for PC gaming. Set up your keyboard with all of your favourite shortcuts, while also enjoying the nifty media controls that this accessory also offers.
For the budget-friendly price tag, this colour-changing must-have is the dream for any PC set-up or would make an ideal gift for someone you know who could use a handy periphery like this.

For anyone gearing up (pun intended) to delve into the new GTA game, or to relive the fun of titles 1 through 5, this pick is for you. Right now you can grab this Logitech Driving Force Racing Wheel and Floor Pedals, which would normally set you back by £350, at a steal as its price is slashed down to £170 in this Prime Day sale.
