Until 30 Nov
Black Friday YubiKey sale: up to 10% off, genuine Australian stock
Black Friday is 27 November, and the pricing is on now. Every YubiKey 5 Series key and both Security Key NFC models are below their regular price until 30 Nov, with the regular price struck through beside each one. GST is included, postage is a flat $14.99 for any number of keys, and a tax invoice comes with every order.
The saving is honest rather than dramatic: these are small-margin devices sold by the security firm that deploys them, not a box-shifter clearing stock. If you are not sure which key fits, the buying guides say when the cheaper one is the right answer.

SaleYubiKey 5 Nano
$105- USB-A

SaleOn back orderYubiKey C Bio (FIDO Edition)
$154- USB-C
- no NFC
- Firmware 5.8
Fingerprint instead of a PIN, over USB-C. FIDO2 and WebAuthn only, so it does not carry the 5 Series' other protocols.

Buying for a team
The sale price applies at any quantity
Microsoft retires SMS and voice MFA on 1 February 2027, so most of the orders in this sale are two keys per person for a whole office. Order the keys here, or ask us to run the rollout: enrolment, Conditional Access, break-glass accounts.
Frequently asked questions
Are these genuine YubiKeys?
Yes. IronSights is an authorised Yubico reseller and every key ships from Yubico's Australian distributor, with the local warranty. There is no grey stock and no refurbished stock in the sale.
Is the struck-through price real?
It is the price each key sold at in the store immediately before the sale, and the price it goes back to afterwards. The sale price is a second price on the same product; the regular one is never edited to make the saving look bigger.
Why do the FIPS keys show a smaller saving?
The FIPS 140-3 models carry less margin to begin with, so the cut on them is around $2 rather than $7 to $15. They are in the sale so a regulated buyer still gets the lower price, but the headline saving applies to the standard 5 Series and Security Key range.
Will there be a Cyber Monday deal?
The sale price applies until 30 Nov. If it is extended through Black Friday weekend and Cyber Monday the dates on this page and on every product update at the same time, so what you see here is current.
Does the sale price apply to bulk and business orders?
Yes, at any quantity, and every order comes with a GST tax invoice. For a staff rollout of 15 or more keys, contact us for a quote: we can bundle the keys with the enrolment work and Conditional Access setup.
