It features a HERO 25k sensor for performance of up to 25600 DPI, 11 buttons alongside a hyper-fast scroll wheel, and a rainbow of customisable colours.
If you're after something a little cheaper, the G203 with a 8k sensor is available in black for £17.99. In addition to the Logitech mice, there are also some decent deals on Corsair and Razer mice, such as the Corsair Dark Core RGB PRO for £79.99, which was highlighted as the best RGB gaming mouse by Digital Foundry.

You can score a great deal on monitors too, including the LG Ultragear 27GL83A-B 27' gaming monitor in black, which is back down to £369.99 (that's a saving of £70 quid). As Mat mentioned during Amazon's Gaming Week in May, the monitor features 'a super-fast Nano IPS panel, with the colour reproduction of IPS with a 1ms response time bolstered with an impressively low input lag of 4ms, which means it shares a lot of similarities with Digital Foundry's best gaming monitor'.

It doesn't have its own heatsink, so you'll have to buy a cooling solution alongside it, which can be a bit fiddly but manageable if you're already planning on installing the drive to your PS5. A heatsink can also only cost couple of quid or a few dollars.
If it's the 1TB version you're after, it's worth noting it was cheaper on Prime Day by around £13, so we might see it come down further during Black Friday.

And if it's simply storage you're after and don't mind using a HDD, you can pick up the 2TB WD Black HDD for £69.99 or double the storage space for an extra £27.
