Live From Cyberspace: Killer Cyber Monday Deals
These Cyber Monday deals are hand-picked by WIRED editors who spend all year testing gear and logging prices to bring you the best stuff at the best prices.
There's only one day a year that can still utter the word “Cyber" without sounding like a Boomer or a megalomaniac emerald mine heir. Good news, folks, today is that day. Happy Cyber Monday deals hunting everyone—it's time to venture out onto the World Wide Web in search of bargains on big TVs, Nintendo consoles, thumb drives, and maybe a shiny new flip-phone.
WIRED's Reviews team spends all year testing gear and tracking prices so that we can bring you the best deals on stuff that's actually good—no chintzy dupes, no shady third-party sellers, no fake deals that are actually more expensive than the price two weeks ago. This live blog is where we'll be tracking our favorite deals and giving special attention to lightening deals. If you're looking for the absolute best Cyber Monday Deals we have a post for that, and feel free to look through the rest of our fresh Cyber Week deals coverage.

The best flash drive you can buy is 25 percent off
Anyone who trusts all of their data to the cloud and a computer hard drive is a liar, a fool, or both. We weren’t joking about thumb drive deals, the top two picks in our guide to the best thumb drives are both on sale for Cyber Monday.
Our top thumb drive pick after extensive testing is the SanDisk Extreme Pro which strikes the perfect balance between speed, reliability, and price. The device has a sleek and durable aluminum case with a loop for attaching it to a key ring. You can also save on the PNY Pro Elite, which is our runner-up and our favorite for phones, the iXpand Luxe.
SanDisk Extreme Pro for $10 ($10 off)
Here are two others to consider.
PNY Pro Elite V2 (256 GB) for $24 ($15 off)
The 256 gig version is just $24 on Cyber Monday but you can upgrade to the biggun, a full terabyte, for $90 which is $20 off the typical street price.
SanDisk iXpand (128 GB) for $31 ($9 off)
Our reviewer likes this model as a way of backing up photos and other files from your smartphone. It has a Lightning plug for iPhones and iPads at one end and flips to reveal a USB-C plug at the other, though thankfully this won’t matter much soon.
Oh hey look, even MORE deals!
We just dropped in our latest update to our massive guide to the Absolute Best Cyber Monday Deals. There's 163 of them in there. Each one carefully curated by our team of experts, and only for deals on things we've personally gotten our grubby little hands on and still recommend. We take this stuff seriously. We test all year long and, frankly, our team has some of the smartest, most professional people in the game working on this stuff. I'm getting the hang of it, too.
All of which is to say, if it's in there, it probably really is a good deal.
We've also got a ton of other roundups including 100 deals under $50, some great deals on gear we really love, and the rare collection of deals that are all the lowest price we've ever seen them on Amazon.
And with that, we're calling it a wrap on the liveblog, folks. Thanks to everyone who's read along as we descend into the deal mines! This time of year is nuts, stress is coming from every angle, and there's no shortage of things making life harder than it needs to be. Be kind to yourself, take care of your loved ones, and stay safe out there.
Oh, and always. Always. Make sure you click the coupon button.
You can't kill these Lego houseplants in any way that matters.
I have killed every houseplant I've ever had. Most of them by not remembering to water them. A couple were crimes of passion. One involved a circus clown and three beavers in a trench coat, in an incident I'd rather not discuss without my lawyer present. But that doesn't matter, because you can't kill Lego plants.
This Lego Icons Bird of Paradise set lets you feel like you have the capacity to keep a small, low-maintenance houseplant alive, without having to clear the incredibly small bar of doing so.
LEGO Icons Bird of Paradise for $100
Oh, and the picture above isn't actually the Bird of Paradise set. We only had a photo of these Lego Succulents in our database. Those are not on sale, which is probably for the best because I am reasonably certain I would still end up killing those.
LEGO Succulents for $50.
This LG C3 TV is our AV MVP for your GGs
The last time I talked about an LG TV on this liveblog, I used that exact same headline and Louryn told me it would kill a small victorian child. So I really don't think I can improve on it.
Anyway, this TV is our top pick for gamers. In our testing, it was one of the brightest, clearest, sharpest displays out there. Plus it has a blazing fast response time, a 120Hz refresh rate, and it supports both Nvidia G-Sync and AMD FreeSync Premium for ultra smooth gameplay.
LG C3 55-inch OLED Evo for $1,297 ($100 off)
And here's a bigger one.
LG C3 65-inch OLED Evo for $1,597 ($100 off)
This Pit Viper sale has stunning sunglasses with slashed sums
Pit Viper sunglasses are actually as cool as they look. Unlike some other products I've tried that looked cool but disappointed me in the end, I was a little upset at how much I loved the Pit Viper sunnies I've tried. Even the boxes and the carrying cases are cool! (But I won't spoil the surprise). We've tried the Fondue, pictured above, as well as the heart-shaped Admirer, but the brand sells polarized snow goggles, waterproof jackets, and more. You can get up to 50 percent off thanks to Cyber Monday. How cool is that?
It's never been cheaper or easier to get comprehensive data about your cats' poops.
No, hang on, stay with me on this. How often your cat uses the litter box, what they do in there, and how much they weigh can all be important details to know if your cat becomes sick. And cats suck at keeping a health journal. So this smart litterbox system from Petivity (8/10, WIRED Recommends) lets you track all that info using any litterbox you already have.
It's currently $150 for one, but a 2- or 3-pack brings it down to just $100 apiece.
Petivity Smart Litterbox Monitor System for $150
...And if you must sit, sit in something as sweet as this Branch ergonomic chair
You only get one back, and it's got a lot of really complicated, interlocking parts, and they can get messed up pretty easily. Don't be cruel to your back, like I did for the first half of my career sitting on a metal folding chair at a desk in my bedroom. The Branch ergonomic chair is our top pick for most people who don't want to destroy their spine with a desk job.
Branch Ergonomic Chair for $329
In case you missed it, our favorite Android phone costs $374 for Cyber Monday
The Google Pixel 7A (8/10, WIRED Recommends) isn't just our favorite Pixel phone. It's also the best Android phone for most people. It has great value when it's full-price, so this discount makes it extra enticing. It's snappy, powerful, water-resistant, and capable of charging wirelessly. The camera is great too. This deal is a match of a low price we've only seen a couple of times.
These Squishmallows are SO. CUTE. And they're SIX. DOLLARS.
Look at this. Her name is RONALDA. She's got little purple horns, and a big purple fuzzy belly. And her face looks like she stepped out of Adventure Time. I am going to buy one of these for my girlfriend. Do not tell her. I want it to be a surprise, okay?
Ronalda the Pink and Purple Yeti Squishmallow for $12
Nichelle the Orange Dinosaur Squishmallow for $12
These glowy Govee Glide lights are going, going....
I just talked to the Council of Gamers and they told me that RGB backlighting gives you a stat boost to your Cool Points. But for real, though, we really like these lights. They can even sync up with your music! And they're cheaper than they were on Black Friday thanks to the on-page coupon. Who said Cyber Monday is just an extension of Black Friday? I didn't, nope, not me.
This Anker Power Bank is the best $92 you could spend right now, IMHO
This bad boy can fit so many milliamp-hours in it. 24,000 of them, to be exact. But my favorite feature of the Anker 737 isn't the handy little display that shows stats like wattage rates or battery percentage. It's not the two USB-C ports or the single USB-A port. Nope. It's the fact that you can fully recharge the power bank in as little as one hour. No more overnight charge times! It recharges as quickly as it'll top off your phone…or laptop…or Nintendo Switch…or all three simultaneously. And it's cheaper than we've ever seen it before.
This is a pretty sweet deal on an iPad.
This is an iPad. It's the one that came out in 2022, so it's pretty new. It's $350. It's an iPad. I feel like you know what an iPad is at this point, right? You're smart, I don't need to talk down to you.
Anyway, here's our review of this model if you wanna know more about it. It's $100 off right now. Not bad.
Ok, I guess this deal is dead but check out this cool lamp?? (And some other Philips Hue lights)
So there I am, cruising through our deals database, and that's the first time I learn about this Philips Hue portable lamp? Looks like just a regular lamp, right? It's got a cord and everything. Except you can just pop it off its base and take it wherever you need. That's so cool! I had no idea this even existed! I guess I should read my colleauges' posts more often.
Philips Hue Go Portable Lamp for $160
It was on sale for $136 ($24 off) but it looks like that sale has ended. And listen, I'm as bummed about that as you are. Possibly moreso. To make it up to you, here are some deals on other Philips Hue lights which are also very cool.
Philips Hue White and Color Ambiance Starter Kit (2-Pack) for $80 ($10 off)
Philips Hue Lily Outdoor Smart Lights 4-Pack for $352 ($88 off)
This flexible vibrator won't wake up your roommates
The Unbound Bender is flexible and can be used internally or externally. It's waterproof and super-quiet, so unlike wand vibes with deep rumbly vibrations, the Bender lends more of a buzzy feel—and won't let the entire house know what's going on. (And also, you don't have to literally plug it into a wall … looking at you, Magic Wand.) The Bender doesn't usually sell for much less than it is right now for Cyber Monday.
This is the SSD I use to record 6K video (You can use it for other stuff, too)
When I first tried out a 6K cinema camera, I literally did not have an SD card that was fast enough. None of them could handle it. And the ones that could were insanely expensive. So I caved and got this Samsung T7 SSD.
It supports read and write speeds in the area of 1,000MB/s, and can store up to 500GB of data (with higher capacities available, though those aren't on sale right now). You probably don't need to record 6K footage, but if you just want to copy your photos or backup your spreadsheets really fast, this is the way to go. These often fluctuate in price and we've seen this one cheaper than this, but we've also seen it a lot more expensive. For some reason.
Samsung T7 SSD (500GB) for $65 ($5 off)
The best chocolate Advent calendar is $18 off
My partner and I unabashedly ate all 25 pieces of chocolate in the Godiva Advent Calendar in record speed. Those delicious little morsels didn't stand a chance. Unlike the powdery novel Santa Clause and Rudolph chocolates you mowed down as a kid, these silky treats are the real deal. Right now Macy's has it on sale for $27, an $18 discount. I won't tell anybody if you eat it all over the course of a night or two.
That is a damn fine cup of coffee. And it comes with more free coffee.
Atlas is a coffee subscription that will send you a bag of coffee from a selection of blends so wide that it's almost impossible for a coffee lover not to find something they enjoy from their catalogue. And right now, when you sign up, you'll get your first bag for free.
Atlas Coffee Club Free Bag With First Order
Our favorite air fryer is $30 off
The Ninja Speedi is our favorite air fryer for most people. It has a deep capacity and twelve different cooking modes. In addition to air frying, you can sous-vide, steam, sear, and more. The design is intuitive when it comes to creating one-pot meals, too—you can prep pasta at the bottom while your veg and proteins finish up top. Clip the on-page coupon to get it for $120 ($30 off). We've seen it drop to $100 before, but this deal is still solid.
Bad Dragon's having a sale on its fantasy-as-in-dragons-inspired adult toys
Bad Dragon is a company with a very long, robust reputation of producing some of the best and most creative fantasy sex toys on the market. They can be a bit pricey ($115 for a medium-sized dildo, for instance), but with this sale, many are well below that. You’ll have to choose which options you’re interested in, then check Bad Dragon’s available inventory for available models (the discount will show up in the search results page). WIRED Writer Jaina Grey has personally tested the Abyss the Kaiju King, and Hell Knight models and finds them some of the most well-made sex toys you can buy.
Bad Dragon Sale on Solid Color Fantasy Dildos (Up to 40 percent off)
The $20 Chom Chom Roller will make you feel like a wizard
Having fluffy pets is all fun and snuggles until it comes time to clean your sofa. The Chom Chom Roller is a fantastic tool to keep in your arsenal for exactly these situations. It uses static to clean up and collect the fur from furniture, low-pile carpets, and (frequently in my case) the back of your jacket after your cat insists on napping there. It's weirdly satisfying to use the Chom Chom roller, and this price matches previous deals we've tracked.
Begone, fur tumbleweeds! Take thine nonsense elsewhere!
Here are some Lego Marvel sets on sale so you don't have to buy Funko Pops
Listen, I don't have anything against people who collect Funko Pops. If it brings you joy, then it's worthwhile. I don't even mind my colleagues who find deals for Funko Pops so that you can save money on them when those people buy them. In fact I prefer they can save money!
I simply want everyone to have options. Options that don't involve beady…jet black…over-sized…eyes.
So here are some Lego Marvel sets that are on sale. And a ton of other sets that are still on sale for a few more hours tonight including Star Wars, Marvel, and a bunch of others. (I will concede I did not find a Lego Whitney Houston, though.)
