Amazon Prime Day is back again. It wasn't that long since the last one--the retailer held its first-ever fall Prime Day sales event in 2022, and there will be another one this fall as well. But right now, the two-day event runs through July 12. We've spent hours combing through thousands of lists to find the best Prime Day deals 2023 on WIRED-tested gear, from Fire tablets to video games and Apple Watches to standing desks. Updated Wednesday, July 12: We added a bunch more deals we love and added prices and links. If you buy something using links in our stories, we may earn a commission. This helps support our journalism. See the rest of our Phone and Tablet Deals for Prime Day here. Even with the addition of the 10th-generation iPad, we still think the ninth-generation iPad (8/10, WIRED Recommends) from 2021 is the best iPad for most people. It has the same shape and size as its predecessors, so all current accessories will work, including the first-generation Apple Pencil and Apple's Smart Keyboard. It retains the classic Home button with Touch ID plus thick borders around the 10.2-inch screen. This is the lowest price we've tracked. The Apple Pencil is one of the most useful tools you can add to the iPad. The second-gen pencil works with nearly every iPad in Apple's current lineup (except for the 9th- and 10th-gen iPad; if you have one, the first-gen Pencil is also on sale). Like a normal pencil, your lines get thicker as you press down harder. The Pencil is also great for navigating iPadOS, which has handwriting support in various search fields so you don't need to switch to the keyboard to type. It pairs and charges automatically when you stick it to the edge of the slate. Logitech's Combo Touch case is detachable, so you can ditch the keyboard when you don't need it and still have a kickstand case. It's fairly slim, with a lovely fabric texture, and the kickstand easily passes the lap test--it didn't wobble much or make the iPad fall off while you typed with it on your lap. If you want a bigger screen for travel, the iPad Mini (8/10, WIRED Recommends) has the edge over its peers. The design mimics the iPad Pro, with slim bezels around the 8.3-inch screen. Its compact size makes it the best slate to take with you everywhere. You might even be able to fit it into your cargo pants.

But right now, the two-day event runs through July 12. We've spent hours combing through thousands of lists to find the best Prime Day deals 2023 on WIRED-tested gear, from Fire tablets to video games and Apple Watches to standing desks. Many of these deals may require a membership, including Amazon Prime, Target Circle, or Walmart Plus. Amazon Prime has a free 30-day trial if you don't already have it (set a reminder to cancel it before it automatically renews). Target Circle is free to sign up, but you'll need to save the offer to your account from the main offer page or on the actual buy page for a particular item to see the deal price at checkout. Many of Walmart's deals were restricted for a time to subscribers but are available for just about anyone right now. Updated July 11: We added the Vitamix 5200 blender, Fire Max 11 tablet, Govee Lyra smart lamp, Willow Go wearable breast pump, Google Nest Hub (2nd Gen) smart display, Lodge Dutch Oven, All-Clad stainless steel pans, and more. If you buy something using links in our stories, we may earn a commission. This helps support our journalism. We have device deals roundups for Amazon, Google, and Apple products. Many of the best Prime Day deals are on Amazon's own hardware. Our favorite speaker for the bedroom, the Echo Dot makes a great alarm clock. It'll wake you up to your favorite playlists and read you the weather while you relax in bed. The 4th gen Echo is our favorite Alexa speaker. It offers room-filling sound with good detail and a 3.5-mm output for connecting to larger speaker systems. Our only gripe is that, despite listening to you 24/7, Alexa is still not great at picking up commands when loud music is playing. This deal includes a free LED bulb.

Like the oozing black river that gave it its name, Amazon Prime Day flows through another year. It's spreading across the internet delta too--it's now two days long, and last year there were two separate Prime Day events. This year's, ahem, prime Prime Day sales event starts now and runs through the end of July 12. We've spent hours combing through thousands of lists to find the absolute best Prime Day deals on WIRED-tested gear, from Alexa-enabled speakers and robot vacuums to laptops and tablets. Many of these deals may require a membership, including Amazon Prime, Target Circle, or Walmart Plus.

Many of Walmart's deals are in early access for subscribers but will be available for everyone later in the day.

Here are the best Black Friday gaming deals we could find.

Maybe you have someone in your life who's an avid gamer or game streamer and you want to get them something to take their hobby to the next level. You're in luck -- Amazon's October Prime Day has proven to be a boon for gaming deals, discounting everything from gaming laptops to keyboards to controllers and more. A bunch of brands are included, too, like Razer, Logitech, SteelSeries and more, so you may be able to find exactly what they've been asking for at a more affordable price. Here are the best gaming deals we found for the Prime Day Early Access Sale. Elgato's Stream Deck is down to $90 for October Prime Day, or $50 off its normal price.

Amazon is offering some solid deals on a multitude of games, with many popular titles available at or near their all-time-low prices. The most noteworthy of the bunch is Elden Ring, on sale for PlayStation 5 and PlayStation 4 at $50 for a savings of $10 over the regular price -- a solid deal on a relatively fresh release. You'll also find discounts on a host of other titles including Animal Crossing (Switch), Deathloop (PS5/Xbox One Series X) and Disco Elysium (PS4/Xbox One). FromSoftware's Elden Ring was a hit from the start, despite some early performance and other issues that have mostly been rectified. Critics raved about the perfectly conceived open world, mysterious story and challenging gameplay and users have generally liked it as well.

We've already published our favorite Black Friday deals for 2017, but we're making some topic-specific guides to help you navigate the immense number of deals going on over Black Friday and Cyber Monday. There are a lot of excellent gaming deals going on, and we've gathered some of the best right here, all available online so you don't have to traipse around in the cold on Thanksgiving weekend to get them. PS4 controllers seem like they run out of juice every day or two, and they always cost at least $60 to replace. If you're in need, most Sony DualShock controller colors will be $40 all week, and Microsoft is discounting many versions of its Xbox One controller to match. Oddly enough, leading up to Black Friday, both companies are already discounting their controllers. Best Buy and Walmart have some new exclusive DualShock colors, as well.

Father's day is still a week away, yet the essential question of buying our dads something worthy, a product they don't already possess is plaguing many of us.
