Best Buy’s deal of the day for today features a range of Razer products worth considering for any of your gaming or streaming needs, and Amazon is matching or beating some of these prices. If retailers are competing, you’re probably winning.
There are multiple options of keyboards and mice, as well as the top-range webcam from Razer and its compact microphone. For your mechanical keyboard fix, you can go big or small. If you prefer compact, you can pick between black or white versions of Razer’s Huntsman Mini 60-percent boards with clicky optical switches for just $95 at Best Buy or $94 at Amazon. A small-format keyboard might be intimidating at first, with its omission of a number pad and F-keys, but it allows you to keep your hands closer together for a more ergonomic feel.
If a full-size board is more in your comfort zone, the larger BlackWidow V3 with Razer’s clicky green switches for that tactile and audible response is $100 — saving you $40 at both Best Buy and Amazon.
The Huntsman Mini is Razer’s first 60 percent keyboard. It doesn’t feature a numpad or dedicated media controls, but it’s a very compact model that won’t take up much space on your desk.
The Razer BlackWidow V3 is a full-size, wired keyboard featuring Razer’s own clicky green mechanical switches. It comes with a detachable wrist rest and customizable RGB lighting.
Other notable Razer deals to consider today are its top-tier Kiyo Pro webcam for $155, the Razer Basilisk Ultimate wireless mouse for $90 at Amazon, the more modest entry-level Basilisk X wireless mouse for just $35 at both Best Buy and Amazon, and the Seiren Mini condenser microphone for just $40 at Best Buy. The latter is a very compact microphone that can be a gateway for getting started with streaming, pairing nicely with the Kiyo Pro for a one-two punch of audio and video. If you opt for the pink version of the Seiren Mini at Best Buy, it’s just $30.
The Kiyo Pro is a lens-shaped webcam that supports up to 1080p resolution capture at 60 frames per second. It features an ultrawide 103-degree field of view, though it can be adjusted down to 80 degrees. The Kiyo Pro has a built-in mic.
Razer’s most customizable wireless mouse, the Basilisk Ultimate, includes a charging dock. In addition to letting you tweak the Chroma RGB, it has a removable sniper button and an adjustable scroll wheel.
The Razer Seiren Mini is an ultra-compact condenser mic for streaming on Twitch or chatting with friends on Discord. It has a supercardioid pickup pattern to focus on your voice. Though bear in mind that the closer a mic can get to your mouth, the easier it is to isolate your voice from any background sounds.
This massive 70-inch 4K Smart TV from Samsung is currently enjoying a $150 discount at Best Buy. This voice-assistant enabled Smart TV is currently available for its lowest price ever, making it an excellent value for anyone looking for a larger-than-average HDR panel. The Tizen smart platform is compatible with most major streaming services, but this model does have a built-in USB port if you want to expand your channel selection with a Roku or other peripheral streaming device. This model features two HDMI inputs but doesn’t have any component inputs, however, this omission likely won’t affect you unless you’re using devices that are more than 10 years old.

A pair of USB-A ports for peripherals is backed up by an SDXC card slot, an HDMI output, and a single USB-C port. Just take note that the USB-C port is not Thunderbolt 4 compatible, however, so it won’t work with a Thunderbolt dock if you need the extra connectivity.

Currently, at Best Buy you can grab this Netgear Nighthawk Wi-Fi 6 router for half off, bringing it down to just $150, its lowest price ever. Like most people, you’re probably spending top dollar on your ISP’s internet connection, but if you feel your download speeds are still having a hard time, you could probably benefit from a better router. The AX5200 offers transfer speeds up to 5,200MB/s over Wi-Fi and managing your security settings is made easy through the Nighthawk app.
