We’ve got a few more awesome gift-giving ideas for the gamer in your life.
RESPAWN-1048 Gaming Mouse Pad Desk
“I opted for the smaller of the two sizes, but I still find that there’s plenty of space for me to enjoy much more than my computer setup. For example, I drink a lot of Vanilla Coke. When I say a lot, I mean I can go through a twelve-pack (did anyone else notice the packaging changed design? I don’t like it) in three days singlehandedly. I can also fit all of those Vanilla Cokes onto one side of the desk next to my monitor.”
Perfect for: PC Gamers

PowerA Enhanced Wireless Controller for Nintendo Switch – Satin Blue Chrome Zelda
The PowerA Enhanced Wireless Controller is a very solid alternative to the Switch Pro Controller. It’s a bit lighter and feels a bit smaller than the Switch Pro Controller, but offers almost all the functionality of Nintendo’s premier controller. It’s not rechargeable, it requires 2 double-A batteries, which is a bit of a bummer. Even worse is that it doesn’t feature any force feedback/rumble. What it does include are two additional, programmable buttons that might come in handy for some gamers. Plus the Satin Blue Chrome Zelda version is just stunning.
Perfect for: Switch gamers.
Budget: Under $50
The Legend Of Zelda Protection Case Kit for Nintendo Switch Lite
“If you just got a brand new Nintendo Switch Lite that you would prefer to stay in pristine condition, I recommend taking a look at the Protection Case Kit from PowerA. Not only does the case feature a sweet Legend of Zelda design, it also comes with a screen protector and a microfiber cleaning cloth.”
Perfect for: Nintendo Switch Lite gamers
Budget: Under $25
ROCCAT Vulcan 122 AIMO Mechanical Keyboard
“The Roccat Vulcan 122 AIMO is without a doubt the most comfortable mechanical keyboard I have used. Setting aside the gorgeous RGB light effects, the keyboard itself is ergonomically low-profile while maintaining incredibly tactile precision control. Each keystroke feels firm but fluid, and I feel my typing speed has actually improved due to the 1.8mm actuation point of the 3.6mm travel distance. It’s incredibly satisfying to use whether writing a report or playing a game online.”
Perfect for: PC Gamers

Xbox Elite Wireless Controller – Series 2
“It’s quite clear Microsoft listened to the concerns raised about the original Elite controller. The Xbox Elite Wireless Controller Series 2 improves on the original in almost every conceivable way. Xbox has raised the bar yet again when it comes to delivering a high-end controller for those who take their Xbox One gaming seriously.”
Perfect for: Xbox One gamers.
