Not sure where to start? These are our favourite pieces of kit right now — tested, researched, and recommended without the fluff. Whether you’re building your first gaming setup or upgrading a specific weak link, these are the picks we’d confidently point anyone towards.


Best Gaming Mouse

Razer DeathAdder V4 Pro

The DeathAdder V4 Pro is the easiest premium mouse recommendation we can make. At just 56g it’s feather-light, the Focus Pro 45K sensor is among the best available, and the battery lasts up to 150 hours. The ergonomic right-hand shape has been refined over multiple generations and is immediately comfortable for palm and claw grip players. Available in black and white.

~£110 | Wireless | 56g

Best Gaming Keyboard

Razer Huntsman V3 Pro TKL

The Huntsman V3 Pro TKL earns its place as our top keyboard pick through genuinely next-generation switch technology. Analog optical switches with Rapid Trigger mode means the key resets the instant you release it — a meaningful advantage in competitive play. Premium aluminium build, excellent Chroma RGB, and a compact TKL layout that gives your mouse more room. Hard to beat at this price.

~£140–160 | Wired | TKL

Best Gaming Headset

HyperX Cloud III

The HyperX Cloud III is the headset we recommend to almost everyone. The 53mm angled drivers produce a wide, natural soundstage, the build quality is premium aluminium and solid plastic that feels noticeably more substantial than competitors at this price, and the detachable boom mic is Discord-certified and performs genuinely well. Comfortable enough for marathon sessions. Available in black and white.

~£70–80 | Wired | 53mm Drivers

Best Gaming Monitor

LG 27GP850-B

The LG 27GP850-B hits the sweet spot between performance and price that most gaming monitors miss. A 27-inch 1440p IPS panel with 165Hz refresh rate and 1ms response time gives you everything you need for competitive and casual gaming alike. Colours are vivid and accurate, the stand is fully adjustable, and it’s widely available on Amazon UK at a consistently fair price.

~£250–300 | 27″ 1440p | 165Hz | IPS

Best Budget Pick

Logitech G203 Lightsync Mouse

If budget is tight, the Logitech G203 is the single best-value gaming peripheral you can buy. Under £25, genuinely good 8,000 DPI optical sensor, six programmable buttons, LIGHTSYNC RGB, and available in multiple colours including black, white, blue and lilac. It’s the starting point we’d recommend to anyone building their first gaming setup.

~£24 | Wired | 8,000 DPI
