RodeCaster Duo |
Save $20 - I'll start w🙈ith one of my favorite bits of streaming technology from one of the best audio companies out there. The RodeCaster Duo is an all-powerful mixer and 𝄹audio interface that packs all the power of the famous RodeCaster Pro 2 into a smaller footprint. It seldom sees discounts, but this five-star-worthy mixer is worth every penny for professionals.

✅ You want the best streaming mixer there is
✅ You will stop at nothing for production value  

Don't buy it if:

Blue Yeti Nano |
Save $27 - The Blue Yeti Nano is getting older, but I honestly don't care. This is still the best budget microphone out there, and it packs a lot of audio quality into a small package. The Logitech Yeti GX may have replaced it, but for streamers who want to 🥃be able to live monitor their voice, this is a much better option. In this Prime Exclusive offer, you're getting it $4 higher than its lowest-ever pr✱ice at Amazon.

Buy it if: 

✅ You're looking for a high-quality budget microphone
✅ You don't mind it being Micro-USB
✅ You want good bass response  

Don't buy it if: 

❌ You'd rather have a younger model

Elgato Stream Deck+ |
Save $40 - Stream Decks have 🌠a lot of value beyond content creation. I use mine every day for general use PC tasks, including opening applications, controlling Spotify, and generally hot-keying annoying, repetitive tasks. When streaming though, they make everything so much simpler, and the Elgato Stream Deck+ is one of the best ones out there. 

Buy it if: 

✅ You want a great streaming controller
✅ You want to change scenes at the touch of a button
✅ You want some audio mixing ability too

Don't buy it if: 

❌ You already have a dedicated audio mixer

AverMedia Live Gamer Ultra 2.1 |
Save $90 - This is one for the pros, or for people looking for futureproofed gear to invest in. The Live Gamer Ultra 2.1 is undoubtedly the best external capture card I've ever used, and its 4K abilities are an absolute steal at this price. Consideriꦐng it's still under a year old and is still improving thanks to 🌟firmware updates, this is such a great time to buy.

Buy it if: 

✅ You want a 4K capture card with VRR passthrough
✅ You need multi-channel audio capture
✅ You want formatting options for video editing

Don't buy it if: 

❌ You have no need for 4K recording

Rode Streamer X |
Save $60 - Rode's all-in-one streaming tool is at a new historically low price here. The Rode Streamer X is a capture card, audio interface, and streaming contro📖ller, all built into one compact chassis. It's never been cheaper than this, even if it is still a hefty investment to make.

Buy it if: 

✅ You want a streaming mixer
✅ You want a capture card
✅ You want to cut back investments elsewhere for one convenient device.

Don't buy it if: 

❌ You already have a dedicated device for either

Razer Kiyo Pro |
Save $116 - For the majority of streamers,ꦐ a 1080p webcam is all you need, and you'll struggle to find better value than the Razer Kiyo Pro. I use the updated Kiyo Pro Ultra, which is undoubtedly the best webcam ever made. If you want a camera with a large sensor that will make you and your background look great in low light, look no further. Its lowest-ever price is $59.99, and while this is still a while off that, it's below its average price of $95.

Buy it if: 

✅ You want a great 1080p webcam
✅ You can't spend more than $100
✅ You don't need AI tracking features

Don't buy it if: 

❌ You need something with 4K support

Elgato Facecam MK2 |
Save $30 - If your budget can stretch a little further,ꦯ this is the first-ever price drop for the new Elgato Facecam MK2. When we first tested this webcam, we weren't that impressed, but the firmware updates Elgato delivered improved it enough for us to change our minds. It's now our best pick for ove෴rall value in the webcam space. 

Buy it if: 

✅ You want a modern 1080p webcam
✅ You have a bit more of a budget to play with
✅ You don't need higher resolution

Don't buy it if: 

❌ You want AI tracking features

Logitech Blue Sona |
Save $100 - Most conten🧸t creators think of the Shure SM7B when they think of their ideal microphone, but there are amazing alternatives out there worth investing in. Our favorite Shure substitute is the Logitech Blue Sona, and in this limited-time deal, you get it for its lowest-ever price.  

Buy it if: 

✅ You want an excellent XLR microphone
✅ You have an audio interface
✅ You don't have the money to invest in Shure

One of my earliest memories is playing SuperMario๊64 and wondering why the controller I held had three grips, but I only had two hands. Ever since I've been in love with video games and their technology. After graduating from Edinburgh Napier University with a degree in Journalism, I contributed to the Scottish Games Network and completed an Editorial Interns𒊎hip at Expert Reviews. Over the last decade, I’ve been managing my own about my love of games too. These days, I'm one of the resident hardware nerds at GamesRadar+, and I take the lead on our coverage of gaming PCs, VR, controllers, gaming chairs, and content creation gear. Now, I better stop myself here before I get talking about my favourite games like HUNT: Showdown, Dishonored, and Towerfall Ascension.
