Logitech G Pro X Superlight 2c
The Logitech G Pro X Superlight 2c weighs a mere 51 grams and lasts up to 95 hours from a single charge. Its compact size is ideal for those who want a smaller mouse that fits their hand size or grip style.
Logitech G Pro X Superlight 2c at Amazon - $149.99
The Logitech G Pro X Superlight 2c uses Logitechās trusted LIGHTSPEED wireless technology to deliver up to 8kHz polling rate and a reliable connection, even in environments that may be prone to interference. With a maximum sensitivity of 44,000 DPI and 5 programmable buttons, the Superlight 2c is a fantastic gaming mouse.
Viture Luma Ultra
The Viture Luma Ultra lets you enjoy your favorite content on a private 152-inch screen with a 4K-like 1200p resolution, and 1500 nits of brightness. The glasses also accommodate nearsighted users with myopia adjustments.
Viture Luma Ultra at Amazon - $599
Viture Luma Ultra at Viture - $599
What makes the Luma a step up from the Pro model is the front-facing RGB camera and dual grayscale depth cameras for full spatial computing, hand controls, 6DoF, plus a microphone. Add in Harman audio in the stems, and you might never take the Viture Luma Ultra glasses off.
Logitech G RS50 System
An all-in-one package that is ideal for those who are interested in starting their racing sim journey, the Logitech G RS50 System includes a powerful Direct Drive motor that delivers 8 Nm of torque and Trueforce feedback.
It also comes with the RS50 Base, Wheel Hub, Round Wheel, and table mount which gives you practically everything you need.
Viture Pro Mobile Dock
The Viture Pro Mobile Dock lets you make any HDMI or USB-C device usable in XR, including the Nintendo Switch and Nintendo Switch 2. Instead or playing on the Switch 2ās 7.9-inch LCD display, you can enjoy your games on a massive, resizable OLED display instead.
The Viture Pro Mobile Dock also supports 3D content, adds up to 20 hours of battery life on some devices, and if you have two pairs of XR glasses, you can share your display with a friend.
Metroid Prime 4: Beyond - Nintendo Switch 2 Edition
Itās been an eight-year wait since Metroid Prime 4 was first revealed, but thankfully Samus Aranās return was worth it. The Nintendo Switch 2 Edition of the game delivers stunning visuals, with spectacular HDR, along with 120fps support and mouse controls.
Metroid Prime 4: Beyond at Walmart - $69.99
Metroid Prime 4: Beyond at Best Buy - $69.99
Metroid Prime 4: Beyond at GameStop - $69.99
Metroid Prime 4: Beyond at Amazon - $69.99
Metroid Prime 4: Beyond captures the essence of what the series is renowned for, and Retro Studios has delivered an engrossing single-player experience thatās perfect to sink into during the holidays. You can find out more in our Metroid Prime 4: Beyond review.
Nex Playground
The Nex Playground quietly outsold the PS5 in the lead up to Black Friday, and continues to be a popular purchase with parents who are looking for a family-friendly gaming console thatās ideal for active children. It features a motion-sensing camera that lets you use your body as the controller.
Nex Playground at Best Buy - $249
Nex Playground at Amazon - $249
Nex Playground includes five motion-sensing games for its $249 asking price, but you can access a growing library of titles via an Xbox Game Pass-like subscription model ($49 for three months, $89 for 12 months). Thereās some big, kid-friendly games included too, like Kung Fu Panda, Bluey, Peppa Pig and Barbie.
Mechanism Gaming Pillow
It may look a little silly, but the Mechanism Gaming Pillow is one of my favorite purchases in recent years. The way it works it super simple: you attach your handheld of choice to the arm, and rest the pillow on your chest or lap. You can then game for hours without getting hand cramps or dead arms.
Mechanism Gaming Pillow - $59 to $69
As someone who suffers from Cubital Tunnel Syndrome, which leads to numbness in my ring and pinky fingers when my elbows are bent for long periods, the Mechanism Gaming Pillow has been a game changer. Donāt knock it until youāve tried it.
Astro A20 X Gaming Headset
The Astro A20 X Gaming Headset lets you connect to two consoles, letting you easily swap between systems by pressing a button. The 40mm biocellulose drives deliver fantastic spatial audio, allowing you pinpoint exactly where an enemy is and also deliver a more immersive, cinematic experience in single-player titles.
Your teammates will also be able to hear you loud and clear as the Astro A20 X comes with a 48kHz bandwidth microphone designed for better voice capture quality. You can tweak the EQ and profiles to dial in even better sound. Check out our Astro A20 X review for more.
Nintendo Switch 2 Pro Controller
In my Nintendo Switch 2 Pro Controller review, I said that Nintendoās new gamepad āreally feels like the pinnacle of video game controllersā, and I stand by that assessment today. This is the most ergonomically designed controller Iāve ever held, and it practically fades away in your hands as you play.
It also keeps all the features I loved about the previous Switch Pro Controller. You still get 40 hours of battery life, the chunky face buttons, and gyro and amiibo support. However, it now also includes a headphone jack, two additional remappable back buttons, a D-pad that doesnāt register false inputs, and improved HD Rumble 2.
Lenovo Legion Go S with SteamOS
The portable PC gaming market has exploded in recent years thanks to Valveās Steam Deck paving the way. However, Valveās console-like operating system, SteamOS, is always been the star of the show, and itās now available on more powerful hardware.
Lenovo Legion Go S at Amazon - $699
The Lenovo Legion Go S has several advantages over the Steam Deck OLED. Its larger 8-inch, 1200p screen is the most obvious feature, but itās more capable under the hood, too. It means you can play more games natively and enjoy higher frame rates and resolutions. Itās why I called it the Steam Deck 2 in all but name.
