Gaming peripherals can make or break your experience. In 2025, the market is flooded with options at every price point. Here's what actually matters and which products deliver.
Gaming Mouse
For competitive gaming, prioritise sensor accuracy, polling rate, and weight. Optical sensors (like the PixArt PAW3395) are now universally excellent. Wireless mice have closed the gap with wired — latency is no longer a concern.
Top Picks
- Logitech G Pro X Superlight 2: The benchmark for competitive mice. 60g, flawless sensor
- Razer DeathAdder V3: Ergonomic shape, great for palm grip
- Pulsar X2H: Budget performance pick under £60
Gaming Headset
Surround sound matters less than microphone quality and comfort for long sessions. 7.1 virtual surround is mostly marketing — good stereo imaging is more important for hearing footsteps in competitive games.
Top Picks
- SteelSeries Arctis Nova Pro: Best overall with active noise cancellation
- HyperX Cloud Alpha: Reliable, comfortable, and affordable
Gaming Mousepad
Larger is almost always better. A desk-covering XL pad (900x400mm) gives your mouse room to move and protects your desk. Speed vs control cloth is a personal preference — try both if you can.
Gaming Controller
For console-style gaming on PC, the Xbox Wireless Controller remains the most compatible and comfortable option. The PlayStation DualSense offers haptic feedback for supported games.
Budget vs Premium: Is It Worth It?
At the entry level, you'll get 90% of the performance for 30% of the price. Diminishing returns kick in hard above £100 per peripheral. Spend wisely.
