Black Friday is the perfect time to upgrade your gaming setup. There are amazing Black Friday gaming deals on all the hardware you could possibly need for an optimized gaming rig. A gaming-focused router will cut lag during your sessions and give you a smoother experience overall. You can start taking advantage of Newegg Black Friday deals right now with its sale on the Asus GT-AC2900 Gaming Router. Normally $200, this exceptional gaming router is 25% off during Black Friday sales.

This powerful router will give you a faster, beefier connection than a traditional Wi-Fi router. The Triple-Level Game Accelerator optimizes your connection by prioritizing the device you’re using and the game you’re running, then finding the optimal path to the server your game is hosted on. You’ll instantly notice more solid performance during those split-second first-person shooter encounters. If you’re cloud gaming, the GT-AC2900 will erase any latency you’ve been experiencing. In fact, NVIDIA has certified it for the GeForce Now cloud gaming system. As a little added bonus, the customizable lighting on the router itself makes it nice to look at.

The GT-AC2900 promises full Wi-Fi speeds for up to four devices at once, so if you and your roommate are constantly battling for bandwidth, maybe it’s time to throw in together for a professional rig. The VPN Fusion feature will give you a free speed boost by allowing you to ditch your current VPN for the game you’re running — run a normal internet connection for your games and a VPN for other devices simultaneously. We’re not sure how long this particular sale will last, so take advantage of this and other Black Friday deals while you can.

KIWI Design K4 Boost Meta Quest 3 and 3S accessory deal

Two of the biggest gripes I have with my family's new Meta Quest 3S -- if you can really call them that -- can be solved in one go, with a pretty useful accessory. First, the stock head strap is uncomfortable and I wish the battery life were just a little better. Well, KIWI Design has a Meta Quest 3 and 3S accessory that fixes both of those quirks. The K4 Boost comfort strap also includes a built-in battery that adds an extra 2.5 hours of playtime. It's more comfortable to wear, too. But here's the best part: It's only $40 in a Cyber Monday deal. Normally $70, that saves you $30. And don't fret if you think you missed out on the best Cyber Monday deals, many of them are still available to shop, like this one.
