Holiday 2023 gift guide: Best last-minute gifts for gamers
GTRACING Ergonomic Gaming Chair
There are tons of gaming chairs on the market, but most of them aren’t good for your back. If you know a gamer who has back issues and plays games at a desk, consider the GTRACING Ergonomic Gaming Chair.
Made of soft fabric, this chair can recline 135 degrees, and it even has a footrest. Any gaming chair should be ergonomic to help with back support, alongside padding for neck and leg support. It even comes in black, cream, and grey colors.
EASEMO RGB Mouse Pad
It’s hard to find a good mouse pad with enough space and a unique design. What I like about the EASEMO TGB Mouse Pad is how long it is, and how it has a cool RGB light tracing the edges. You can even customize the colors yourself!
The black color allows it to fit with nearly any PC setup’s aesthetic, especially with the customizable RGB colors. Upgrade your favorite gamer’s setup with this sleek desk pad that comes in two different sizes.
J-Tech Digital Ergonomic Mouse
Did you know that there are ergonomic mice as well? They look a little strange, but these types of mice have been starting to gain popularity online.
The J-Tech Digital Ergonomic Mouse is wireless, has a removable palm rest, and can help a gamer experiencing wrist pain. The design allows your hand to sit in a natural position to reduce strain, and the design would fit perfectly with that EASEMO RGB Mouse Pad.
KDD RGB Headphone and Controller Stand
I don’t mean to pick items on this list that would look great together, it happened naturally! This KDD RGB Headphone and Controller Stand kills two birds with one stone. It has a spot for controllers, as well as your headset.
Like other items in this list, it has cool controllable RGB lights at the base. This even has rotatable hangers that you can move around to your liking, and it comes in black, white, and pink.
Miyoo Mini Plus Handheld Game Console
The Miyoo Mini Plus Handheld Game Console is a retro emulation device that will bring any older gamer nostalgia. It comes with over 10,000 games, has a seven-hour battery life, and is tiny enough to travel with.
It includes a 64 GB card including games from consoles like the PlayStation 1, Game Boy Advanced, Super Famicom, and more. If you’re looking for a one-of-a-kind gift, this is the one you choose.

CORSAIR K65 RGB Mini Keyboard
There are tons of boring keyboards that don’t stick out, and this isn’t one of them. The CORSAIR K65 RGB Mini Keyboard is wired, mechanical, and compressed to fit into tight spaces.
You should get this keyboard for a gamer with a tiny desk area. It has Cherry MX SPEED RGB mechanical key switches, and it would look stunning in any setup. The main white color just really makes the RGB colors pop.
SteelSeries Aerox 3 Honeycomb Mouse
I’m putting this mouse right below the CORSAIR keyboard because they look made for each other. I see way too many boring black mice on the market, but this mouse is super unique with the honeycomb design.
The SteelSeries Aerox 3 Honeycomb Mouse can come in black, but I love the white color and the RGB lights that shine from the inside. If you’re worried about it getting dirty, the mouse interior is shielded from any dust and dirt.
Logitech G335 Wired Gaming Headset
If you want a headset that stands out, just like most items in this list, try the Logitech G335 Wired Gaming Headset. While you can get it in black or white, my favorite is the mint color.
It’s compatible with PC, Xbox, PlayStation, and even Nintendo Switch. With a flexible and comfortable fit, I think any gamer would be happy to unwrap this as a gift.
Quntis Monitor RGB Backlight
Many gamers now are starting to decorate their monitors and TVs with LED lights to make their setup shine. The Quntis Monitor RGB Backlight can add soft lighting for work mode, then turn to leisure mode for enhanced lighting.
It sits at the top of your monitor and can create an immersive gaming environment with customizable RGB lighting. The light can also help with eye comfort and can minimize screen glare.
PowerA Spectra Infinity Enhanced Xbox Controller
Know anyone who likes to collect unique controllers? This Amazon Exclusive PowerA Spectra Infinity Enhanced Xbox Controller doesn’t look like any controller I’ve seen before.
It comes in black and white, but the buttons are backed by vivid lights. There are 20 different colors and combinations, and two LED modes called “Breathing” and “Solid.” Although it’s wired, I think this would make for a very special gift.
