Arctis Nova Pro Wireless Gaming Headset
If you're looking for the absolute best gift, look no further than the Arctis Nova Pro Wireless gaming headset. This is the ultimate wireless gaming headset that combines a classy, premium look with vegan leather ear cushions for total comfort alongside a multitude of top features and best-quality audio.
This headset uses our best hardware: the Nova Pro Acoustic System with Premium High Fidelity Drivers which work together to deliver unrivaled audio quality. When paired with our Sonar Software, which allows total audio customization, they'll not only be able to tune various effects, but also hear in 3D as well as highlight important sounds, such as the sound of enemy footsteps. It's the headset for the ultimate gamer.
Other great features include Active Noise Cancellation to improve that feel of total immersion, Multi-System Connect, which allows the headset's base to be hooked up to two gaming systems for easy switching, and the Infinity Power System. Charging can be a concern with wireless headsets, but with the Arctis Nova Pro Wireless, there's no need to worry. It utilizes a dual battery system, so while you're using one of them, the other one is always charging in the included GameDAC station. Almighty Audio never stops.
Oh yes, and let's not forget the ability to connect to a second device with Bluetooth at the same time, so they can take a phone call while gaming, or the ability to listen to your phone on the go. It's the future of gaming audio with wireless freedom.
Lauded with a 10/10 from IGN, the reviewer said "this new version revises one of our favorite gaming headsets with a sleeker and more adjustable design while also adding active noise-canceling, longer battery life, and improved audio. And even more impressive, it offers a plethora of ways to tweak your game and chat audio on a per-game basis."
"Personally, I think it’s worth every dollar."

Apex Pro TKL Gaming Keyboard
For the gamer who wants to win more, the Apex Pro TKL (2023) will be an absolute edge, whether they're lightly competitive in Overwatch or are trying to up their rank in Valorant. With our OmniPoint 2.0 tech, we've designed the fastest-responding keyboard in the world. Expect an 11x quicker response and 10x swifter actuation with these keys, in comparison to a typical mechanical keyboard.
Another huge asset for the Apex Pro TKL is the ability to customize the actuation of every switch, individually. The depth of the presses can vary anywhere from a quick and shallow 0.2mm to emphasize speed, or a deeper and more deliberate 3.8mm (or anywhere in between). It's a perfect gift for the gamer who likes to tinker with their equipment and customize it. Also, that makes this keyboard great not just for gaming, but also for work.
On top of that, the Apex Pro TKL has an OLED Smart Display to view a variety of information at a glance, with buttons to change settings on the fly, or to control media without ever leaving the game screen. With an esports-ready tenkeyless design that saves space on the desk and a steel frame of the same quality as used in combat jets, this is a top-performance keyboard designed for longevity.
There's also a wireless version of the Apex Pro TKL gaming keyboard to have even fewer wires on the desk.
