It's hard to cater to a gamer's tastes. Many games have ongoing service, and some gamers really stick to just a few of their favorite games, whether that's GTA V, World of Warcraft, Minecraft, or FIFA. Sometimes, they don't want a new game, but if you can get them something that makes their favorite hobby even more fun, you'll hit the gift jackpot easily.
Our top-of-the-line headset has received numerous accolades and is considered one of the best out there. Now in a brand-new White edition, this stylish gaming headset features leatherette earcups to keep the ears cool and comfortable during sessions, and a metallic, adjustable headband.
It's more about just the premium look and a stand-out color; the audio experience is nothing short of incredible, with premium Hi-Res Capable Neodymium Magnetic Drivers (read: super good quality). It truly makes a difference while gaming. Additionally, the headset features Active Noise Cancellation, perfect for your giftee to focus into their world.
The headset is multi-platform, so whether your giftee plays on console or PC, this gift is a hit. If they use Xbox though, make sure to get the Xbox version (which also works with PC). This headset can even be hooked up to two platforms at once, making it easy to switch between without any rewiring. All that is done with a handy Wireless Base Station that's included. This works with PC, consoles, Mac, Switch, VR, and more.
Speaking of wireless, this headset is capable of two simultaneous wireless connections: via 2.4GHz (which is with the Base Station, that's better for gaming) and your classic Bluetooth (that always works, is great with the phone or other devices). Having these at the same time means your giftee can both be on a phone call and game, be alerted when a call is incoming and take it on the headset without losing a beat. It's just that cool and simple.
The new hotness is our Arctis Nova 5 Wireless, a great headset with powerful app support. With this, your giftee can use the app to configure audio with ease for their favorite game and enhance their experience. We've prepared special settings that are game-specific; these presets are specifically curated for ideal audio for popular games, such as Fortnite, Apex Legends, Call of Duty, Minecraft, and so on. All they have to do is pick out a preset from the app while using their headset.
No one else offers so many presets like that for specific games to be used while gaming on console. This is a really unique proposition you can only get from SteelSeries.
Couple that with a 60-hour battery life for truly long-lasting action (game for up to a week!). With Quick-Switch Wireless, easily go from gaming on the console to convenient Bluetooth on your phone. And with cross-platform functionality, this headset is truly a win-win. It's a great gift for any gamer.
Nothing is a bolder statement of style than a classy, black mousepad that encompasses the whole desk. With the QcK XXL, your gamer friend can cover their whole battle station in a safe and stylish surface.
All their precious gaming elements can be put on a safe, tried-and-tested surface: their monitor, keyboard, mouse, and any other desk elements. It can really bring a whole theme together.
What's more, this is a best-selling surface for gamers, as SteelSeries mousepads are trusted around the world to be the best. With our legendary micro-woven cloth, achieve pinpoint mouse accuracy thanks to a high thread count and a supremely smooth surface. Note that there are different size options as well!
For an even more unique gamer gift, opt for the QcK Prism; it's the same, incredible-quality mousepad, but it comes with a brilliant 2-zone RGB dynamic illumination along the edges.
Configure the lighting to your favorite colors, match up to your station, or set up reactive lighting that lets you know when your health is low in particular games or when you get a Discord notification! Possibilities are endless, just like the RGB color choices.
A gaming keyboard is really the centerpiece for any PC gamer, so why not make it the best one? Speed matters greatly in gaming, so let's pick up the world's fastest keyboard with the Apex Pro TKL Gen 3. We have cutting-edge OmniPoint 3.0 Adjustable HyperMagnetic Switches, which respond insanely fast to your presses. It's time to gain an edge in the games your giftee plays. More wins, more satisfaction.
There are so many ways to customize the Apex Pro -- it's a tinker's paradise. Each key is separately adjustable to make them trigger with either deeper or shallower presses; completely up to the preference of your giftee. This way, they can have important buttons require deeper presses, which will make it less likely to accidentally press them. Blowing an important cooldown too early can be disastrous. There are also a ton of special features, such as Protection Mode, which makes it less likely to press keys you don't want to while nearby ones are activated, and GG QuickSet, which has ready-game configurations set up for them.
The Gen 3 version completely reimagines the feel and build of the keyboard, too. Typing is a ton smoother and more satisfying on the Gen 3; it feels incredibly smooth and has a great sound. The TKL format saves space, making it really convenient on their desk. Furthermore, a handy OLED Smart Display window provides a ton of shortcuts and utility, especially in the form of media controls.
Oh, and don't forget the incredible, fully customizable RGB lightning. A gamer's dream.
A great alternative choice is to get the Apex 3 TKL, which is a water-resistant TKL keyboard also featuring tons of customizable RGB lighting.
These whisper-quiet gaming switches have a really low sound profile, so if your giftee is sensitive to sound, this is an awesome option. These are long-lasting and durable, working for over 20 million keypresses, which should be enough to last a lifetime. The water-resistance is a nice bonus in case they are klutzy.
Hope that you feel a lot more confident in picking a great gamer gift now! It's tough to go wrong with these best selections, but if you're looking for something else, go ahead and browse other SteelSeries gear!
