The best gaming accessories gifts
Corsair Ironclaw
The Ironclaw is a great all-around gaming mouse with both wired and wireless versions. The mouse is well balanced and has a very high DPI with programmable sensitivity profiles. It’s extremely precise and has long-lasting buttons. The sensitivity profiles can be changed on the fly to match any playstyle you want. The mouse also has a comfortable grip that makes long periods of play a breeze.
Corsair K70 MK.2 keyboard
If your gamer is in the market for a new mouse, you might as well look to pair it up with one of the top keyboards out there right there. The Corsair K70 MK.2 is built to last and has a ton of customization options.
DualSense charging station
While we love almost everything about the DualSense controller, the one drawback to it is it doesn’t have the greatest battery life. Instead of having to constantly plug it in, your gamer can just set it on this charging station so it is good to go for next time.
Elgato Wave:3 microphone
The Elgato Wave:3 is our favorite PC microphone available on the market. It is perfect for anyone who likes to stream or record their gameplay as it can filter a lot of unwanted background sound which can be made even better with software downloads.
Elite Series 2 Controller
For the hardcore Xbox gamer, the Elite Series 2 is the best controller you can get from Microsoft. Its sticks and d-pad can be swapped out and there is a suite of customizable settings they can use to make them more comfortable or get the edge on their opponents in games. It’s a bit pricey, but definitely worth it.
J+S Vision Blue Light Shield Gaming Glasses
Blue light filter settings are becoming more common on smart devices, but some gaming PCs haven’t caught up yet. These glasses filter out blue light without altering your vision. This allows you to play for longer periods while keeping your eyes protected and reducing strain.
Nintendo Switch Pro Controller
While the joy-con on the Nintendo Switch is very convenient for portable play, the Pro Controller is truly the best way to play your Nintendo games. It feels great and has all of the same technology built into it as its smaller companions, but much more comfortable for people with bigger hands who prefer playing on the TV.
PlayStation 5 Pulse 3D wireless headset
If the person you are buying for has a PlayStation 5, there is no better headset we recommend buying than the Pulse 3D. It’s comfortable for long gaming sessions, has a respectable battery, and sounds great.
Razer Kishi Mobile Controller
Streaming your games to your phone is finally getting to a point that isn’t just bearable, but is actually a good time for certain games. This controller hooks onto your phone and essentially gives you an easily transportable Xbox controller without needing to buy a mount. This version works on Android, but iPhone users can get their own version.
SteelSeries Arctis 9X
SteelSeries has a lot of good gaming accessories, but their headsets are what sets them apart from their competitors. The Arctis series of headsets are among the most popular available and the Arctis 9X may be their best yet. The headset features an excellent mic designed for use both in-game and on Discord. The headband is very comfortable for long hours of gameplay. Best of all, the sound quality is incredible regardless of what device you use it on.
