Great gaming accessories for PC or consoles
By Andrew Koziara
You can find good controllers, headsets, or even specific genre items like flight sticks and arcade sticks, like the X-Arcade Solo Joystick, from Xgaming.com. No Cash Back deals, but definitely a great item to start with. It’s really buzzing at the moment. If you’re a fan of fighting games like Street Fighter, or want to play classic arcade games from the good old days, you’ll probably want to pick up an arcade cabinet style tournament stick.
If you want a more traditional controller, Microsoft’s own Wired Xbox 360 Controller lets you easily play games on your Xbox or PC, and beats out 3rd party brands in almost all cases. The Xbox 360 Controller has always had a nice ergonomic feel and just the right amount of heft, and it generally works great in any genre, except fighting games, to be honest. Shooters like Call of Duty and the rest, though? This is gold. You can nab it at stores like Target (2 percent Cash Back).
Get immersed in your games like never before
Sticking with controllers; Standard controllers work pretty well for flight simulators and combat games like Ace Combat, but nothing will ever beat the immersive feel of playing with an actual flight stick controller. One example is the Thrustmaster – T-Flight HOTAS X Flight Stick for PlayStation 3 and Windows. You can grab it at Best Buy for 2 percent Cash Back.
While we’re talking about immersion. One great way to get sucked into your games is with an excellent headphones/headset combo. Especially for horror games. There are plenty of great places to look for these, but a popular brand are the massive Turtle Beach headphones. You can find these in various stores, including Turtle Beaches own site, though Cash Back may not apply. They have headsets for every console as well as PC, and they’re all pretty high quality.
Keep your hands carpal tunnel free with the right items
Finally, if you play to play World of Warcraft or League of Legends for hours and hours on end, you’ll want a quality set of Mouse, Keyboard, and Mouse Pad. Razer puts out fantastic products for all three, as does Logitech. For wrist support you can get something fancy like the Razer Vespula Double Sided Gaming Mouse Mat With Wrist Pad. ThinkGeek offers such items (3.5 percent Cash Back), though their selection is limited. ThinkGeek also has more creative items, like retro USB controllers. You can enjoy a larger selection of Logitech items from their site though with 2.5 percent Cash Back.
