Arctis Pro
Give the best headset you can give with the Arctis Pro, which offers best-in-the-industry sound with lightweight construction, surround sound, and a mic that features ClearCast technology for some of the best sound you can get in the realm of PC gaming. Make sure your giftee has the best possible equipment to bring their A-game with this comfortable, reliable headset that will make sure they're equipped with the best goods possible for any game. Plus, it's super stylish, so if the PC gamer you have in mind is a streamer, they can rest easy knowing they're lookin' good.
Prime Wireless
The new Prime Wireless mouse is everything you love about the pro-centric Prime mouse, only wireless. That means you get lightning-fast Prestige optical magnetic switches--a first in gaming--that can deliver over 100M crispy clicks, so you'll be gaming with it for some time to come. Plus, with pro grade precision tracking with the TrueMove Pro gaming sensor, your movements will translate as quickly as you make them. It’s just 80g in terms of weight, with a textured matte design developed in tandem with some of the top pros in the esports industry. It also provides over 100 hours of high-performance 1000Hz gameplay, in addition to fast charge. This mouse is truly going to take you places.
Aerox 3 Wireless
If you have someone in mind who's all about the need for speed when gaming, you'll want to gift them the Aerox 3. It's an extremely lightweight mouse at just 57g, which means you get effortlessly fast movements with silky smooth glide skates. It features a pixel-perfect TrueMove Core optical gaming sensor for those minute movements, and AquaBarrier for water resistance as well as protection from dust and other invasive particles. Plus, having a mouse with holes in it is pretty awesome. They'll want to show your friends with all their awesome custom RGB lighting below the frame.
Apex Pro Keyboard
Just like any PC gamer can use a mouse, a keyboard is always an excellent choice. The Apex Pro is the biggest leap in mechanical keyboards since the invention of the mechanical switch over 35 years ago. Each key can be adjusted to meet your preferred sensitivity level, whether it’s for gaming, work, or anything else. What's more, you can customize its lighting effects to your liking, so anyone you gift it to can match it to their decor. That's a win for everyone.

Give the gift of plenty of space to glide a mouse around with the SteelSeries mousepad line. No matter if the PC gamer in your life has a small or massive desk, SteelSeries has the right size to keep them covered. Durable and washable to clean easily, crafted from micro-woven cloth for better control, and optimized for low and high CPI tracking, this is the Cadillac of mousepads. Surprise your gamer friend with nothing but the best.
Some of our other favorite PC gamer gifts out there:
Elgato Stream Deck
PC gamers almost inevitably stream their favorite titles on services like Twitch. For those who head online to share their favorite games with others, the Elgato Stream Deck is an awesome tool.

The wood and aluminum construction make it versatile for any office situation, and it should be able to handle just about any headset or pair of headphones.

GTRacing Gaming Chair
Everyone who games on PC or even sits at one for a good portion of the day needs a comfortable place for their butt (and their back). Give the ultimate gift of comfort with this GTRacing chair, which comes in several different colors. It comes packing a strong metal frame, lumbar and head support, PU leather, and a supportive frame to keep those who sit in it in prime gaming condition. It's a little pricey, but well worth the bigger price tag.
Xbox Wireless Controller
It might seem odd to recommend an Xbox One controller for PC gamers, but it's one of the best controllers you can use in PC games. Just connect this bad boy via Bluetooth and it'll automatically sync up with most Steam games with the proper setup. It feels great in the hands and is compatible with most titles. Plus, it has great, long-lasting battery life. If your giftee has an Xbox One, they can use it with the console as well.

PC gamers who stream need a reliable camera to show their face while gaming. This Aukey webcam is a cheap and reliable option for streaming, video calls, or Discord chats with PC gamers' friends.
