The TwitchCon 2016  gaming convention may be over, but parent company Amazon is still in full gaming mode. The online retailer is currently taking 20 percent off select PC gaming gear via coupon code “TWITCHCON20”, which you can apply during checkout.

The sale includes a variety of gaming mice, keyboards, headsets, routers, SSD drives, and RAM from the likes of Razer, Logitech, Netgear, Toshiba, and Corsair.

A few noteworthy items in the sale include the Razer Mamba Tournament Edition Gaming Mouse for $64 ($16 discount). Traditionally, the street price for this mouse is $80 from stores like B&H and Newegg. In our review, we found the Razer Mamba Tournament Edition Mouse was a great way for gamers to get Razer’s top-of-the-line laser sensor without springing for the pricier wireless version of the Mamba. The mouse’s long case allows for a variety of grips that should suit just about ever kind of gamer. It also boasts  big, grippy buttons that are easy to find without looking. However, fans of shooters will like this mouse the most as it’s best used with a claw grip.

Also available is the G.Skill Rip Jaws KM780R RGB Gaming Keyboard for $96 ($24 discount). Traditionally selling for upwards of $110, this keyboard is a more affordable version of the G.Skill’s best-selling KM780. It offers the same high-quality switches, keyboard layout, macro keys, back-end software, and wrist rest as the original model, but adds RGB backlighting to the keys.

On the audio side, you’ll find the Turtle Beach Ear Force Stealth 450 for $96 ($24 discount). The ergonomically designed headset features mesh-wrapped headphones and a removable mic. The headset is optimized for DTS Headphone:X 7.1 Surround Sound — a headphone technology that simulates the 3D environment of a multi-speaker setup — and offers Turtle Beach’s Superhuman Hearing, which amplifies in-game sound cues.

The sale also includes a few gaming systems from Cybertron and MSI. The MSI GS72 Stealth Pro 17-inch Laptop is a $1,999 gaming system that’s been discounted to $1,599 via the previously mentioned coupon. The 17.3-inch laptop packs a 4K display, Core i7-6700HQ quad-core processor, 16GB of RAM, 1TB 7,200 rpm hard drive with a 256GB SSD, and an Nvidia GeForce GTX970M 3GB DDR5 video card.

The coupon code expires at 11:59 p.m. PT on October 7. It applies to all of the PC gaming accessories and systems shipped and sold by Amazon only.
