Gamers love to gear up and snatch any piece of equipment that will help them beat a final boss or in online competition. The problem gift buyers face is that there is a dizzying array of controllers, headsets and gadgets on the market.
Here’s a guide to help you navigate the extensive options and find the perfect gift for the gamer in your life.
1. DualSense Edge
Sony finally jumped on the elite-style controller bandwagon and introduced its DualSense Edge controller this year. It feels luxurious, with a sturdier weight and inner grips that are reminiscent of the leather on a new basketball.
This device has two big selling points. The first is that the analogue sticks can be switched out if they break, meaning you can save money by not needing to buy another controller. The second is that the controller has two back paddle buttons that can act as other inputs.
It also comes with a carrying case and other customisable options, making it good value for US$199 (HK$1,550).
2. Victrix Pro FS Arcade Fight Stick
