the contenders

Nacon Revolution PAro

This thing isn’t cheap, but it is – hands down – the best PS4 controller in the world. The Revolution Pro offers unparalleled accuracy and performance, with the ability to tailor its setup exactly to your digits’ liking, making it ideal for serious gamers wanting to take their finesse to the next level.

Astro A50

It’s easy to see why the Astro A50 gaming headphones made the grade in this year’s awards: they’re dripping with high-end,

T3- worthy features. Totally wireless, they offer up to 15 hours of untethered gaming goodness. It’s the Dolby 7.1 surround sound that clinches it, though, giving great positional audio in any game.

Corsair lapdog

Any accessory that brings PC gaming out of the confines of the spare room and into the lounge is worth shouting about. Corsair’s lap-based control centre, with a generous mousepad built in, houses your keyboard and mouse, powering them via a single cable that attaches to your PC, giving you new TV gaming experiences.

LucidSound LS20

An affordable premium wireless gaming headset, the LucidSound LS20 offers astonishing audio performance considering its sensible price tag. It sounds stunning across the board, but it’s the positional audio that really stands out, with built-in DTS Headphone:X delivering an amazing immersive experience.

Logitech G413 Carbon

Glance at its lineup of gaming keyboards, and 2017’s runner-up from Logitech might seem like an odd choice, given the fact that it looks, well, ordinary. But performance fans will love its gimmick-free design featuring a super-thin frameless baseplate and Logitech’s luxurious Romer-G mechanical keys.
