Gaming peripherals

Great concept for mouse-and-keyboard mobile gaming, but fiddly setup and patchy game support.

Affordable, not premium, but can be pressed on either side to suit any orientation.

Gaming-focused in-ears with fast charging, noise cancellation, 3D audio and customisable lighting, which he calls unusual for earphones.

The standout package: versatile across USB and 3.5mm, with head-tracking audio, lighting and a fingerprint-resistant coating he appreciates.

Detachable cooler that comes in the box and lets you game while charging.

Wireless version of the desktop dock with no real latency problem, though frame rate is lower than wired.

The most over-the-top phone gadget he has seen, adding a second screen, shoulder buttons and extra battery.

Overkill for showing photos on a TV, but sensible if you use the phone as a workstation.

Dock with USB-C, USB-A, full-size HDMI and Ethernet, shown without a verdict.

Cheaper than expected and a fun novelty with built-in games, but not polished or deep.

Lighting-synced PC speaker system with a big 240W peak output that adds immersion to gaming.

A wireless mechanical keyboard that drops the LED excess and claims 18 months of battery life.

A bland but clean backlit mechanical keyboard with quiet Cherry MX Reds and a very useful volume slider.

A huge, smooth mouse mat with rubber grips, though he thinks Logitech's naming is confusing.

Wireless gaming mouse with very low lag and claimed 18 months of battery life, comfortable but a bit bland.
