Even if it’s not feeling very spring-like outdoors just yet, the season is off to a great start with all of the fresh deals coming out of Amazon’s Big Spring Sale, which kicked off yesterday and runs all week until March 25, offering dozens and dozens of fresh sales on accessories, tech, appliances, and more.
This week’s sale is expected to bring some nice savings on highly-sought items like a PlayStation 5 bundle and excellent video game titles, including some editions of Assassin’s Creed and Prince of Persia. Gamers shopping this year’s Big Spring Sale on a tight budget, don’t feel left out; this guide compiles some great sales under $50. While the big-ticket items and hottest brands may not offer a lot at this threshold, there’s still tons to peruse in the non-budget-busting category, with scores in peripherals, desk accessories, and more.

Uiosmuph Wireless 2.4GHz Mouse
$10 $13 Save $3
This basic mouse from Uismuph won’t impress any MMORPG warlords, but it’s cheap, easy to use, and did we mention cheap? There isn’t a suite of customizable buttons, but its slim profile and long battery life is great for players that enjoy low-stakes titles, like sims. This 2.4GHz LED-lit mouse is on sale in several colors for $10 from $13 until March 24.
In most cases, keyboard and mice options from familiar gaming brands like SteelSeries and Razer cost less than $200 per device, with a good chunk of those even costing close to if not less than $100. But if you really want to keep your costs down, these options we selected from the Amazon Spring Sale are great contenders. The Geezer keyboard isn’t exactly feature-rich, but its aesthetic can’t be beat. And Dacoity’s keyboard-mouse duo is an excellent match-up for beginner gamers, or simple gaming setups in a space like a dorm room.
A notable deal on mice today comes from Uiosmuph, which offers a 2.4 GHz wireless mouse for just $10. Its specs won’t blow you away, but its affordability will.
