Currys is a staple of UK gaming tech, thanks to an abundance of stores and high levels of stock but its broader market has meant it’s always my second choice for getting a good gaming deal. With 30% off a huge range of gaming tech, though, today it’s a pretty great place to get something new.
Right now, across the entire gaming accessories range, simply pop in ‘GAMERKIT30’ at checkout to get 30% off the marked price. Importantly, anything you can find in the gaming accessories section is included in the sale.
This compounds onto the sales already on. In the case of the Logitech G305, this means instead of getting 30% off the £40 MSRP, you are getting 30% off the £35 discounted price.
For this reason, it’s worth keeping an eye out for:
🚨Tech you’ve had your eye on🚨
🚨Already discounted gear🚨
With that in mind, here are what I believe to be the two best deals in the recent Currys sale.

Logitech G Pro 2 Ligthspeed
I reviewed Logitech G’s Pro 2 Lightspeed last year, and it has firmly remained my favourite ambidextrous mouse ever since. It’s a fairly rudimentary upgrade from the standard Pro mouse, but in itself, is a sturdy, solid, and super snappy mouse with a whopper of a sensor in it. That Hero 2 sensor can achieved a DPI of up to 44,000 and a max speed of 888 IPS.
Alongside these impressive stats, it gets up to 95 hours of battery life, and comes with a set of replaceable side buttons. This means, should you want to, it could have two sides buttons on each side, or none at all. I’ve opted for two on the left, and it’s the mouse I use pretty much every day. In fact, I just so happen to be using it right now.
This is also a rare case of the UK price thrashing the US one. The lowest I’ve ever seen this mouse go down to is $110 (around £82), but it’s currently up to $120 for Americans. Down to below £80, it’s an excellent mouse. I’d know, as it’s pretty much been my main one for almost a year now.
One thing that did majorly peeve me last year is Logitech’s G Hub software. At the time of writing, it was very poor, constantly crashing or requiring fresh installs. I am happy to say that it’s mostly not bothered me over the last four months or so, and rarely pops up. For a mouse software, I don’t wish for much more.
Steelseries Apex Pro TKL Gen 3
This keyboard has multiple standout features that caught my eye when I reviewed it. First, let’s start with rapid trigger. Effectively, the way rapid trigger works is that keys are ready to be registered again the second you let go, which allows the game to take your inputs quicker. In competitive shooters like Counter-Strike 2, where you are penalised for shooting as you walk, this makes you fractionally more accurate.
But you can get rapid trigger cheaper (like in the Gamakay x NaughShark for £31). It’s the build quality that struck me with the Apex Pro TKL Gen 3. Being TKL, it’s a bit more compact, but it’s super sturdy, and the typing feel is great. It helps that, with individual RGB, it also looks wonderful in the dark.
The SteelSeries software gives a more granular approach to lighting, and it also controls the screen. An OLED panel up the top right can display important information in games like bullets left, or, in my case, it can display a gif of a cat running endlessly. That extra level of customisation helps to make the keyboard feel like yours.
Importantly, the Apex Pro TKL Gen 3 is a joy to type on, with a satisfying sound and per-key actuation adjustment. This means you can manually recalculate resistance depending on certain types of keys. Do you rarely use the tab button? Put the actuation super high, and you’re less likely to accidentally click it.
This is a premium keyboard with a premium price, but for over £70 off, it’s a bit of a bargain.
