As the holiday season approaches, many gamers may be feeling the pressure of expensive gift giving. But fear not, as we have compiled a list of the best gaming headsets, keyboards, and peripherals that are sure to please both generous gift givers and those treating themselves this Christmas.
If you missed out on the PlayStation 30th Anniversary consoles, don't worry. Not every piece of gaming hardware has to cost an arm and a leg on eBay. However, it can still be a pretty penny, which is why many people wait for the Christmas season to upgrade their headset or controller.
While this year has been marked by the anticipation for the release date of the Switch 2, we have also seen virtual and augmented reality making strides in reaching a wider audience. The Meta Quest 3S has been leading the charge in terms of accessibility and game immersion.
There's something special about unwrapping hardware under the Christmas tree, compared to just receiving a digital game or subscription. That's why these items not only top the wish list for gamers, but also make for the perfect Christmas presents.
Trust Gaming GXT 719 RUYA RGB gaming chair is a must-have for any gamer. Who needs Rudolph to guide the sleigh at night when you can do it yourself with this cool RGB gaming chair? It boasts adjustable features such as battery-powered LED lights, freeing you from messy cables. Plus, the seat height and armrests can be fully adjusted. And the best part? It only takes about 40 minutes to assemble, with an extra set of hands, of course. And if you're feeling extra festive, you can even get Santa involved!
The Ruya provides excellent lumbar support with its adjustable straps and cushion. It also has a recline function that locks between 90 and 180 degrees, as well as 3D armrests for versatile positioning. The padding is softer than the noblechairs HERO, making it super comfortable for those long gaming sessions. And let's not forget about the LED bling that will light up those dark winter nights.
RRP: £269.99
While over-ear headphones may be the norm for gaming, the Steelseries Arctis GameBuds are the first gaming earbuds that have me completely sold. As someone who prefers low-profile and lightweight audio options for my long commute, I was thoroughly impressed with their design and functionality. Not to mention, the depth of sound and vibrant bass are outstanding.
Setting them up was a breeze; I simply paired them with my iPhone and adjusted the EQ using the companion app, which has a sleek sci-fi aesthetic and is perfect for mobile gaming on the go. The active noise cancellation also does a great job of muting background noise. And for an even more immersive experience, you can connect them to a PlayStation 5 via the 2.4GHz dongle for impressive virtual sound.

For the ultimate gaming set-up, look no further than the Corsair M75 wireless mouse and K70 PRO TKL mechanical keyboard. The M75 AIR FPS gaming mouse has an ultra-lightweight design, making it perfect for precise aiming and quick responses in fast-paced games. Its click latency is low and consistent, paired with excellent sensor accuracy. However, it does have a slightly lagging 2,000Hz polling rate, which could use some improvement. But overall, it's a good bet for dominating your friends in games like Black Ops 6.
The K70 RGB PRO keyboard is a full-size, wired model designed specifically for gaming. It features Corsair's signature double shot PBT keycaps, which resist fading over time. And for those of us who use our gaming computers for work as well, this is a crucial feature. With an 8,000Hz polling rate via the iCUE software, this keyboard offers impressive latency for high-end rigs. Its Cherry MX Red switches are light and responsive, making it the perfect choice for gamers who prefer linear keys. And for the ultimate gaming experience, the "Tournament Switch" disables macros and locks the RGB lighting to a single color for focused gameplay. Not to mention, these products have sleek aesthetics that will elevate any high-performance set-up.
