Lenovo had a sneaky sale Friday morning that sold out quicker than we could type. But if you missed out on the extremely low-priced $45 mechanical keyboard, you might want to continue browsing, because there are other great deals to be had.

A slew of select gaming accessories are 20 to 70 percent off for a limited time. Whether you’re interested in upgrading your keyboard  or longing to revisit your childhood console, there’s a deal that’s right for every level of gamer.

1) HyperX Cloud gaming headset

Amazon

If you’re looking for the most aesthetically pleasing headset money can buy, it doesn’t get much better than Swedish design. This accessory is far from just a looker, though. The HyperX Cloud headset is extremely lightweight, with interchangeable noise-isolating ear cups that are covered in faux leather or velour. Sound-wise, the headset has a 15 to 25kHz frequency response. It’s compatible with computers, smartphones, Playstation 4, and Xbox One, meaning premium audio, whether you’re gaming, talking, or listening to music.

Price on Amazon: $64.99 (regularly $149.99)

3) Lenovo Y gaming precision mouse

Amazon

No enemy will be creeping up on you with these crystal-clear headphones.

If you prefer surround sound, the Logitech G930 is 47 percent off.

5) Extreme 3D Pro joystick

Amazon

Joysticks are not just for Atari games. With 12 programmable action buttons and a rapid-fire trigger, you’ll be ready for combat in any battle game. Logitech manufactured the Extreme 3D Pro joystick for Windows, however Amazon reviewers claim it works just as well on Mac.

7) N64 USB emulator controller

Amazon

Hey, it’s no atomic purple, but the red and green controllers were just as cool. (There is also one with customizable LED lights for a little more money.) If you’re feeling nostalgic for GoldenEye 007 in its truest form, you can play N64 from your laptop without worrying about blowing off the cartridges.
