Razer gear makes for some excellent holiday gifts. The RGB lighting is always on point, the build quality is high, and the prices are competitive. The BlackWidow V4 Tenkeyless Hyperspeed keyboard looks awesome, feels great to use, and it’s wireless. All that glow with no pesky cords tangling things up? Sold! Every click just feels right. Those orange switches are real game changers in action, it turns out. And if you’re not a big fan of the glow, the battery life will be significantly longer. You know, if you’re invested in that sort of thing.

Secretlab Titan EVO Gaming Chairs

You gotta put your butt somewhere while doing all this gaming. It might as well be somewhere super comfortable, right? If you’ve got a gamer on your list sitting on secondhand furniture or perching like a sleep-deprived gargoyle, why not gift them an upgrade? Secretlab’s chairs look good and feel great. They’ve also got a whole host of skins for gamers looking to show off a little more. There’s Cyberpunk, Overwatch, Demon Slayer, Star Wars, and a bunch more. Alternatively, they do have a lite line if you’d rather not drop a king’s ransom this holiday season.

A good mouse should feel like an extension of your arm. Light, form-fitting, perfectly sleek. The Cherry XTRFY M68 Wireless Mouse is like a glowing, clickable cloud. If you’ve never thought about the mouse in your life, now’s an excellent time to start. They can, and should, get better.

ASUS ROG Swift 27″ 4K Gaming Monitor

Speaking of monitors, they’ve been getting really good lately. If you want your textures crisp, vibrant, and clear, ASUS has your back. The ROG Swift line has some real heaters, including a 4K variant that will knock your socks right off your feet. After all, there’s no sense dropping thousands on a GPU if you can’t display the results properly. You won’t need quite that much for a good monitor, but they’re not cheap either. Extremely worth it though. Seeing something like Avowed on the right screen will make you feel like your eyes weren’t working properly before this specific moment.

Stocking Stuffers

I lied, none of this should go in anyone’s stocking. But definitely add some of these glittering PC treasures to your shopping list. For cooling needs, you can’t go wrong with NZXT’s Kraken Elite 360 RGB. They look incredible, work beautifully, and come with their own LCD screen. Why? Why not! Think of all the stuff you could display on that! If you need a good hard drive, the Samsung 990 Pro is both gigantic and tiny. A V-NAND SSD is perfect for ensuring your games load as fast as humanly possible. Plus it’s 4TB, so you can fit tons of games on there. If you need even your RAM to be RGB, consider the Trident Z5 RGB line. These sticks pair nicely with a glass case, something to show off every immaculate element of your PC. Finally, there’s the CPUs. You can’t go wrong with an AMD Ryzen, for example. The 7 7800X3D is an absolute beast, capable of running anything you boot up with surgical precision. Or if you’re more of an Intel person, the i7 processor 14700K is an equally impressive beast. GPUs are fine and good, but don’t skimp on the CPU!

A gift guide this robust will certainly hold some choice treasures for the gamer(s) in your life. Now that you’ve gotten said gamers taken care of, there’s just the rest of the holiday shopping to do. Good luck!
