Gifts for gamers from $20 to $349: Meta Quest 3S, Switch 2 Pro Controller, headsets, keyboards and mice, prices checked at publish time.
Buying for a gamer is easy to get wrong. The trick is matching the platform they play on, and picking gear they'd never splurge on themselves. Here are nine picks from $20 to $349, from a VR headset to controllers, headsets, keyboards and mice. Every price was checked on the retailer's page today and is a price at publish time.
The skim
- Big gift: Meta Quest 3S (128GB), $349.
- For Switch 2 owners: Nintendo Switch 2 Pro Controller, $89.
- For PC gamers: AULA F75 Pro keyboard, $68.99, or Logitech G304X mouse, $39.98.
- Not sure what they play? Razer BlackShark V2 X wired headset, $49.98, works almost everywhere.
Before you buy: check the platform
Controllers and wireless headsets are usually tied to one console. Peek at what is under their TV (Xbox, PlayStation, Switch 2 or PC) before checking out. Wired 3.5mm headsets are the safest bet when you cannot ask.
The gifts
Meta Quest 3S (128GB): $349.00
