When it comes to January, deals are more about quality than quantity. Compared to the holiday rush, there are a lot fewer mediocre discounts to wade through—and as such, the deals that do remain are often worth taking a longer look at.
This week, you can get a deep discount on a portable AC and heater, grab a great full-sized keyboard for half off, invest in a quality robovac, and plenty more!
There’s nothing like a good keyboard to make your productivity and gaming experiences better. Glorious Gaming makes some of the best mechanical keyboards, balancing price and function. While the company has released its latest keyboard, the GMMK 3, the GMMK 2 is still a fantastic purchase. You can get the full-sized white GMMK 2 for nearly half off!

EcoFlow Wave 2
$599 $1398 Save $799
The EcoFlow Wave 2 is useful year-round as both a space heater and portable AC. You don’t even need to keep it plugged in—the built-in battery will last about eight hours before needing a charge.
As I deal with a cold snap in my area and spend most of the day bundled up in blankets, I can’t help but think about buying a space heater—but then I think about how it wouldn’t be useful for most of the year. But a product that works as both a heater and an air conditioner? That’s a far more frugal idea. With the EcoFlow WAVE 2 down to just $599 on the company’s storefront, it’s a deal on a product that’ll have use year-round.
Xbox Elite Series 2 Controller
$97.99 $129.99 Save $32
The ultimate Xbox controller features adjustable tension thumbsticks, additional rear paddles, customizable button mapping, replaceable components, and 40 hours of (rechargeable) battery life.
Among gaming controllers, the Xbox Elite 2 is considered one of the best. With the ability to change components in and out and its PC compatibility, it’s easy to recommend for hardcore gamers—except for the price point. Thankfully, the Xbox Elite 2 Core Controller is below $100 right now, and saving over $30 is nothing to sneeze at.
