The love of video games is, like all tech-based pastimes, one that makes us want to acquire and keep acquiring. For PC gamers, this is no issue - there are always some things that can be tweaked, upgraded or rebuilt. For those who prefer to play from the sofa, video game consoles offer little to scratch that unpacking itch post-purchase. Or, so you may think.
While it’s true that players of PlayStation, Nintendo and Xbox don’t have graphics cards, keyboards and mice to help itch that gear-hungry itch, there are plenty of smaller options: gaming accessories. Of course, while gaming accessories make a wonderful present to yourself, the world just as well as a gift for the video gamer in your life.
From headsets to Cable Guys, racing and arcade boards, there’s something out there for everyone. We’ve rounded up the best gaming accessories below, including a few premium picks, such as a soundbar, console-suitable monitor and gaming chair.
