I have a confession to make: I love gaming, and my entire setup is pink (Barbiecore vibes all round). The best part? All of it is currently discounted as part of the epic Amazon Prime Day gaming sale that is due to end tonight at 23:59. So, if you’ve ever wanted to get a hold of some seriously cute gaming accessories – including keyboards, mice, headsets and microphones – now is the time to act.
As an avid PC gamer and an ex-Twitch streamer, I’d like to think that I know a thing or two about gaming devices. Not to mention, prior to becoming a beauty journalist, I regularly wrote about all things tech and gaming for a living. I’ve tested and reviewed countless gaming peripherals.

Over the past three years, I’ve been fully dedicated to building my dream gaming setup, and I’m proud to say that after all the time, effort and money that went into it, it’s finally complete. Why do I care so much about the aesthetics, you ask? Of course, when it comes to gaming, all that really matters is the functionality, but as someone who spends the majority of my time at my desk (be it for work or for playing video games), being surrounded by your favourite hue makes one hell of a difference. And as you can probably guess, I unapologetically adore all things pink.
Frustratingly, since the gaming industry is so dominated by men, finding a quality piece of pink gaming hardware can be quite a challenge, to say the least (since practically everything else is either black, red or both). However, over the past few years, it seems as though the industry is getting progressively more inclusive and celebratory of female gamers, with multiple gaming manufacturers now releasing a whole variety of peripherals in all shapes and colours. From Razer and Logitech to ASUS ROG, there’s quite a few brands that I’m particularly fond of, all offering an exceptional level of quality without compromising the looks, of course.
That being said, regardless of the aesthetic, shopping for gaming and tech is far from easy, namely because of the notoriously expensive price tag. Luckily, Amazon Prime device deals have arrived to take a good chunk off your order total, discounting everything from gaming controllers, carry-on cases, keyboards, headsets, monitors, consoles – you name it. Ahead, the ultimate guide to the best discounted pink gaming gear you can find this Amazon Prime Day. Enjoy.
Shop my dream Barbiecore gaming setup, for less…
Shop my favourite gaming keyboard for over 15% off
Why we love it: I’ve been in looove with this gaming keyboard ever since it was released. Not only is it cute, neat and compact, but it’s also completely wireless, which helps reduce unwanted clutter on your desk. The best part is that you can customise this keyboard using additional green and pink pastel-coloured keycaps and panels. Plus, did you see the adorable cloud-shaped wrist rest?
Level up your PS5 for 30% off
Why we love it: Bored of the PS5’s plain exterior? Say no more. Instead of going through the unnecessary trouble of taking your console apart and trying to paint it, you can get the most Barbie-esque faceplate and plop that on. Plus, it even comes with cooling vents cut out, meaning your PS5 won’t have to overheat for the sake of the aesthetics.
Get the iconic Twitch streamer favourite for less than £100
Why we love it: You’ve definitely seen this iconic headset once or twice before. A favourite among gaming YouTubers and Twitch streamers, the Razer Kraken Kitty Edition combines great audio quality with an adorable pink aesthetic that matches the rest of your gaming setup. Sturdy and comfortable to wear for extended periods of time.
This adorable Switch Pro controller is 30% off
Why we love it: If you’re serious about Mario Kart competitions with your friends, then you might want to get your hands on this wireless Switch Pro controller to help give an upper hand in the races. It features adjustable vibration feedback as well as a long-lasting rechargeable battery to make sure you don’t run out of juice at the worst possible time (we’ve all been there…).
One of the best gaming microphones is now at its lowest price
Why we love it: I’ve used this condenser microphone for years now, and it’s hands down one of the best ones on the market. It provides great sound quality and can be used to record videos, podcasts and so much more. The microphone also has customisable LED lighting that switches on and off to let you know if you’re muted or not. So convenient.
A two-piece Sanrio gaming bundle for 20% off
Why we love it: It’s not everyday that you come across a mouse and mousepad that combine high gaming performance and precision with the Hello Kitty aesthetic. If you’re someone who likes playing competitive games like Valorant or Overwatch 2, you’ll be happy to hear that the Razer DeathAdder comes with a high-precision 6,400 DPI optic sensor along with a dedicated button that allows you to switch sensitivity mid-game.
A crystal-clear monitor to enjoy all your favourite games on
Why we love it: Every gaming setup deserves a quality monitor. And for this price point, there aren’t many that are better than this Dell Full HD monitors: it features a 1ms response time that reduces blurry images as well as a 165Hz refresh rate that helps you react to your games quicker than ever. Sure, it might not be pink, but it’s trust me when I say that it’ll level up your gaming experience.
A mini streaming microphone that’s currently 34% off
Why we love it: When it comes to gaming peripherals, size isn’t everything. The Razer Seiren Mini is small yet mighty device that provides professional levels of audio quality that’s perfect for streaming, podcasts or just getting together with your gaming buddies over Discord.
This PS5 bundle is over £100 off, thanks to Prime Day
Why we love it: No, your eyes aren’t deceiving you – as part of Amazon Prime Day sales, you can now get your hands on the coveted PS5 for over £100 off. And that’s not all. It even comes with God of War: Ragnarok, meaning you’ll have something to play as soon as you take the console out of the box. Epic.
Pamper your gaming headset with a dedicated stand
Why we love it: Gaming headsets deserve better than to lie around all tangled whenever they’re not in use. Thankfully, this pink headset stand from Razer not only helps you take care of your headphones to prolong their life, but it also doubles as a USB hub and even has customisable LED lighting. 10/10 would recommend.
Keep your trusty Nintendo Switch Lite cute and safe for under £25
Why we love it: This accessory bundle for the Nintendo Switch Lite comes with everything you need to make your portable gaming console as safe as it is cute. It comes with a protective carry case, screen protectors, a stylus, some thumb grips and a pair of pink earphones. Everything you need, all in one handy set.
Amazon Prime Day falls on 11th and 12th July in 2023, according to a statement released by the retail giant on the morning of 21st June. Last year, it fell on 12th and 13th July, so we were expecting much of the same.
What is Amazon Prime Day?
In case you’ve been living under a rock, Amazon Prime Day is the retailer’s flagship shopping event and their biggest sale event of the year. It was founded as a one-day celebration of Amazon’s 20th anniversary back in 2015, and it lasts for 48-hours (with plenty of early Amazon Prime Day deals dropping as a warm-up event). On par with Black Friday and Cyber Monday, some might say. And Amazon Prime members can also get next-day delivery as well as access to some Prime exclusive deals from notable brands such as ghd, L’Oreal, Shark and more.
