Game platform offers Alienware Aurora Photo: Alienware The Aurora R14 is an upgraded version of one of our favorite gaming desktops. It features Alienware’s sleek chassis, an RTX 3080 graphics card and 32 gigabytes of RAM, making it a beastly machine. Razer makes some of the best gaming laptops in the world, and the Razer Blade 14 is one of our favorites. It includes an RTX 3080 graphics card, 16 gigabytes of RAM and a 1 terabyte SSD for silky smooth gaming even when you’re away from home. Few manufacturers can give Razer a run for its money in the gaming laptop space, but Asus is one of those few. The Rog Zephyrus G15 is one of our top picks overall for gaming laptops in 2022, thanks to its RTX 3080 graphics card, 16:10 wide thin (edge) display, and AMD Ryzen 9 5900HS processor. TV and screen deals Photo: LG This OLED TV from LG (8/10, WIRED Recommends) supports gaming at up to 120 frames per second (fps) in 4K HDR, as well as Nvidia’s G-Sync or AMD’s FreeSync for the smoothest possible gaming in one of the nicest monitors we’ve tested. Ultrawide monitors like AOC’s provide much more peripheral vision coverage than standard monitors. Which is a great advantage to have while playing. If you want to be immersed in the games you’re playing, this monitor is one of our ultrawide favorites. For performance enthusiasts, this LG Ultragear monitor has a 1080p panel, but boasts up to 240 fps for the smoothest action from even fast-paced games. It’s compatible with both Nvidia G-Sync and AMD’s FreeSync, and the included stand is adjustable for height, tilt, and rotation. OK, technically Philips Hue lights aren’t specifically for gaming, but what gamer doesn’t need more RGB lights? This kit is our upgrade choice and is one of the most popular (and also most expensive) smart lighting systems. As long as you’re comfortable committing to a more expensive system for long distances, this is a good deal for a starter pack. Peripheral offers Photo: Razer It’s hard to find a perfect mouse, but the Razer Viper Ultimate comes close. It’s our top pick for a wireless mouse with a dock and has been among our top picks overall in the past thanks to its ambidextrous design, smart charging dock and convenient dongle storage. There aren’t too many buttons on a gaming mouse. That’s how I do it. That’s how Razer does it. And so far it’s worked out pretty well. This mouse is one of our favorites, in large part because it has 19 customizable buttons, making it a customizable swiss army knife for gamers and workers alike. Headphone deals Photo: Steelseries This handset was already one of our favorites under $50, but this deal makes it even sweeter. The wireless version of the Arctis 1 (8/10, WIRED Recommends) impressed us with its rich sound and clear microphone quality. This model is largely the same, but uses a wired connection. The Bluetooth version of the Arctis 3 is our top pick for Switch gamers who want to use voice chat. However, this wired option is still a great headset and can be connected to any platform, making it a versatile and inexpensive set of boxes. The Arctis Prime from SteelSeries (8/10, WIRED recommends) is our pick for mid-range gaming headsets under $100. However, it is currently well below $100. If you want a better-than-average pair of headphones without spending a ton on them, now is the time. Logitech’s G Pro X is currently our top pick for the best wireless gaming headset. It supports PC, PlayStation and has a solid battery life. DTX:S object-based surround sound makes it easy to hear exactly where enemies are in your game, and Logitech’s G Hub software allows for plenty of audio customization options.
