Gaming Gear Affiliate Programs: What Each Brand Pays in 2026

If you want a peripheral brand that pays a published rate and lets you join today, there are two: Logitech (4 to 10% on Impact, 30-day cookie, covering the Logitech family of brands) and Razer (up to 15% on Impact, 14-day window). ASUS is open too but pays a 1% default. SteelSeries, Elgato, Corsair, HyperX and Turtle Beach either have closed signups or keep commission terms inside a creator application. Amazon Associates is the catch-all at 1 to 3% for most gear.

> All terms below were read on the official program pages on October 7, 2026. Rates change, and the number in your network dashboard after approval is the one that counts.

How I checked these programs

On October 7, 2026 I opened each brand's own affiliate or creator page, plus the network listing when the brand points to one (Impact, Awin, CJ). I copied the published commission, attribution window, network and eligibility rules, and nothing else. Where a brand does not publish a number, the table says "not public" rather than repeating figures from third-party affiliate directories, which often date back several years.

I did not join these programs for this article, so nothing here is a dashboard screenshot or a personal earnings claim. The value is in the side-by-side: which programs are open right now, which ones are creator programs with a commission attached, and which ones send you to an application form with no numbers at all.

Gaming chairs (Secretlab, Razer chairs, Herman Miller and others) have their own guide: gaming chair affiliate programs. Microphones are covered in microphone affiliate programs.

Gaming gear affiliate programs compared

Logitech and Logitech G: the safest first pick

Logitech's affiliate page lists a 4 to 10% standard commission that varies by brand, a 30-day cookie and a $125 average order value. The program runs on Impact and covers Logitech's "family of brands", so one approval covers webcams, keyboards, mice and headsets. Seasonal and performance incentives are mentioned, with no figures attached.

The AOV makes the math concrete. At $125, a sale pays $5 at the 4% floor and $12.50 at the 10% ceiling. Neither figure will change your month by itself. What makes Logitech useful is the product range: a streamer gets asked about webcams and mice far more often than about a $300 keyboard, and Logitech sells both ends.

Separately, the Logitech G Creator Program offers products, a Streamlabs Ultra trial, giveaways and a chance to earn commission. It does not publish a rate or a follower minimum. Applications go through a CreatorIQ portal.

Razer: two programs, and they are not the same thing

Razer runs two programs, and its own FAQ says they are "completely different entities".

The Razer Affiliate Program pays up to 15% depending on product, with a 14-day conversion window in 40+ markets, on Impact. Commission is calculated on net sales, without returns, tax or shipping. Sales lock 1 month and 15 days after the month they happen and are paid 23 days after that, so a January sale pays out on April 23. You must be 18+, coupon and loyalty sites are capped at 1%, and an account with no sales for six consecutive months is terminated.

The Razer Creator Program sorts creators into four tiers by follower count: under 5,000, 5,000 to 99,999, 100,000 to 299,999 and 300,000+. Every tier gets an affiliate link at up to 5% and 15% off a first purchase from the content-creation line. Higher tiers add bounties, chair bounty eligibility and, at 300k+, one quarterly giveaway capped at $100. Note the terms: you agree not to join similar creator programs run by Razer's competitors at the same time.

ASUS and ROG: open to anyone, but 1% by default

ASUS's US creator-affiliate page on asus.com now redirects to the homepage. The live program is the ASUS (US & Canada) listing on Awin, which states a 1% default commission and a 30-day cookie. Select partners can get higher rates on select categories case by case, and product loans exist for some partners. The listed categories include gaming headsets, keyboards and mice, next to laptops, monitors and GPUs.

1% only makes sense when the basket is large. The ROG Strix G16 laptop was listed on the ASUS US store at $1,899.99 on the day I checked, which would earn about $19 at the default rate. A $100 ROG mouse earns $1. If your content covers laptops and monitors, ASUS is worth joining. If you mostly answer "what mouse is that?", it is not.

SteelSeries, Elgato and HyperX: closed or gone

SteelSeries. The affiliate page still describes up to 8% on all SteelSeries products, paid through Impact Radius. It also says signup is closed and that SteelSeries will announce when it reopens. Our catalog lists a 30-day cookie, but the official page does not state one now.

Elgato. The partnership page says the submission portal is closed "for a short while". Elgato publishes no affiliate rate. For Stream Deck content in the meantime, see our Stream Deck setup guide.

HyperX. The partner program URLs we linked before (hyperx.com/pages/partner-program and the signup page, including the UK and AU versions) all returned 404 on October 7, 2026. HyperX's parent company HP runs an HP Store affiliate program reviewed by CJ, but that page publishes no rates and does not say which product lines pay. Treat HyperX as having no public affiliate program right now.

Corsair and Turtle Beach: creator programs without published rates

Corsair. The Gaming Creator Program application covers only Corsair gaming peripherals: keyboards, mice, headsets and mousepads. The form asks for a media kit, your audience split by region, your main games, and whether you are open to peripheral exclusivity. Applications are reviewed on a rolling basis, and the people Corsair selects get a call to set a "partnership level". Commission is not mentioned. PC builders are sent to a separate DIY and PC Ambassador Program via [email protected]. Corsair's sponsorship help article adds that applications run on a rotating schedule.

Turtle Beach. The creator page has two tiers. Affiliates get a full peripheral set, a swag pack, 20% off and an affiliate link with commission. Partners also get financial sponsorship and travel support. No rate is listed. Turtle Beach wants 6+ months of consistent content, targets NA and EU, charges nothing to join and says replies take 2 to 4 weeks.

Is Amazon Associates better for gear than brand programs?

Amazon's standard rate table pays 3% on headphones, 2.5% on PCs and PC components, and 1% on physical games and consoles. Categories that are not listed separately pay 4%. Under the operating agreement, a click counts for 24 hours, or until the visitor orders. Items added to the cart in that window still count if the order is placed within 89 days.

On a $150 headset, Amazon pays $4.50 and Logitech pays $6 to $15. Amazon's advantage is conversion. Viewers already have accounts there, and a single "my setup" list can link every brand you own, including the ones whose programs are closed. Use both: brand links where a program exists, Amazon for everything else. Our Amazon Influencer Program guide explains the storefront side.

Which gaming gear program should you join first?

• Under 5,000 followers and mostly gameplay? Start with Logitech's affiliate program, because approval does not depend on follower count and the 30-day cookie forgives slow buyers. Add Amazon for everything Logitech doesn't make.
• If Razer gear is already on camera, Razer Affiliate pays the higher ceiling. The Creator Program bans competing creator programs, so check that before you apply if you also use Logitech or Corsair gear.
• For laptop, monitor or PC-build content, join ASUS on Awin. 1% on a $1,500+ basket beats 10% on a mousepad.
• If you want free gear and sponsorship more than commission, apply to Corsair, Turtle Beach and the Logitech G Creator Program with a real media kit and expect exclusivity questions.
• Before joining everything, read the exclusivity clauses. Razer's creator terms and Corsair's exclusivity question mean that stacking competing brands can cost you the better deal.
