The highly recommended Logitech G502 HERO wired gaming mouse is down to just £29.99 in the Amazon Spring Sale. Its price has dipped as low as £26.99 in the past, so this current deal is only £3 off its cheapest price.

The G502 has remained strong as one of the best gaming mice around, so it's well worth grabbing for such a low price. The Logitech G502 Lightspeed, the wireless variant, is also on sale but currently £10 more than its cheapest price.

Day two of the Amazon Spring Sale is here, and if you're looking for a new headset and want to get the best around, you're in luck.

The SteelSeries Arctis Nova Pro Wireless currently ranks at the top of Digital Foundry's best gaming headsets guide, and is so easy to use on PC and PS5 - at the same time if you fancy!

The best non-gaming mouse, Logitech's MX Master 2S, is 33% off in the Amazon Spring Sale, bringing it down to just £40 - cheaper than it was on Black Friday!

Logitech MX Master 2S Bluetooth Edition - £40 at Amazon UK (was £59.90)

You can have a read of Will Judd's article about the MX Master 2S to help you make up your mind should you need to, but make the most of this deal before the sale ends on the 25th.

If you're after a cheap 4K TV in the Amazon Spring sale, this Hisense 43-Inch UHD VIDAA Smart TV is worth a look at just £211:

Buy the Hisense 43-Inch UHD VIDAA Smart TV for £211 at Amazon UK (was £249)

The Hisense uses a 4K OLED Panel with crisp, vivid colors, and deep blacks from edge to edge.

It won't be the best if you plan to play fast-paced shooters on it as it's only 60Hz refresh rate, but use the game mode to access the VRR for a smoother experience when kicking back and playing those chill games in the evening.

This is the cheapest this TV has been on record, and just over £200 for a 4K TV is always a good deal.

Actually decent internal SSD deals have been pretty sparse over the course of the Amazon Spring Sale, so we thought we'd bring your attention to this 2TB WD_Black SN770 offer from Ebuyer on eBay.

It's currently priced at £111.40, but if you use the code "CHICK15", it'll knock the price down to £94.69. That's £15.30 cheaper than Amazon's current price.

Get a 2TB WD_Black SN770 SSD for £94.69 from eBay using code "CHICK15"

This SSD isn't officially PS5 compatible as it doesn't quite meet Sony's specs, but runs fine according to Digital Foundry (just make sure to use a heatsink). It might also not be the fastest for your PC, but it is still a speedy option with up to 5150MB/s reads and 4900MB/s writes.
