But there are still many games and gamers that do just fine with a controller for both the hands. If you belong to that tribe, the Xbox One Elite Controller is the best that you can buy with money.

The Elite Controller can connect directly with the PC with a USB cable. You can also connect it wirelessly with the help of an Xbox Wireless Adapter Dongle.

You get swappable exterior parts that allow you to test different feels. There are different analog sticks of varying lengths that give you a precise aim. The trigger locks help you with rapid firing and the paddle buttons on the back of the controller are thoroughly programmable.

2. Logitech G920

Arcade gaming might not have seen the end yet. But with gaming accessories like the Logitech G920 racing wheel, we might well be somewhere near the end. The G920 is a punchy force feedback wheel. You get two motors loaded on the wheel to power you through the race. The helical gearing of the wheel facilitates traction loss.

We can’t stress enough on how much we liked this wheel. Combined with the right in-game effects, this wheel makes you feel like you are actually driving a race car. There are six-speed shifters that give you the real ‘click’ sound and feel. Plus, there is push-down gear reverse that gives you a quick option for reversing gears.

Everything about the wheel – the wheel, steel, clutch, brake – give you a perfect race simulation experience. On full throttle, you just might feel the wind outside the car, too! Much of that is also achieved with the help of the real-car leather material that the wheel uses, or at least emulates. While the wheel itself is compatible with both Xbox and PC, there’s a PS-only model too.

3. Razer Mamba

Here’s the catch – most mice (gaming or otherwise) look the same. So there is every chance on earth that you will overlook this sober looking mouse. Who can anyway tell apart just about any plastic mouse from this ergonomic piece of wonder, right? The Razer Mamba has custom-tailored buttons with an ergonomic design that just fits your hand like a glove.

The gaming mouse from Razer makes your gaming experience come to life. You might have to pay some extra cash for this mouse. But once start using it, you feel that you have made the best decision. The Mamba has a 16,000 DPI sensor that is capable of reading every nuance of the surface as you go through.

You can add and remove weights from the buttons so you feel just the right kind of weight when shifting through quick movements. The two customizable buttons rest right under the right thumb. You can basically program them to the tune of functions you like. And of course, there are two standard left and right buttons.

4. SteelSeries Arctis 7

Gaming desktops are made to delight the optic senses. They have all the advancements you will need to create a spectacular visual delight. The rich details of the gaming worlds make you feel that you belong right there. But gaming rigs are also designed to engineer great sound. And i.e what justifies the purchase of a good pair of gaming headsets.

5. Corsair Gaming K55 RGB

If you have ever been serious about PC gaming, you must have thought about a kickass (or at least decent) gaming keyboard. The Corsair K 55 RGB keyboard is one gaming accessory that is so close to perfection that we had some major blues even writing about it. The highly responsive layout of the keyboard takes support from multi-key anti-ghost so you can get key presses that are at once simultaneous and accurate.

Six programmable keys let you define dynamic functions for each of them. These are also slightly bigger in size so you can tell them apart during intense gaming sessions. You also get dedicated volume and multimedia controls which you can adjust and access without affecting the gaming experience. The best part is that you get all these functions and features for less than $50.

There’s also a slight inward curve to the keys so that it assimilates with the shape of your fingers when pressed. For added comfort, there’s a detachable soft rubber mat that doubles up as a palm rest. You can easily snap it in and out of the bottom of the keyboard without a glitch.

6. Corsair MM800 Polaris

For many of us, gaming is about the glitz it adds to our otherwise regular time. If you are a fan of lights, you are in for having some major fun while making the entire gaming experience more attractive than ever before.  You also get some fluorescent colors that help you keep on top of your game.

There’s a 15-zone RGB customized lighting with LED and a built-in USB port that makes way for your mouse, too. The micro-textured surface with very low friction gives quick tracking ability to the user. The anti-slip rubber base of the pad makes sure it holds tightly to the surface of the desk.

On the whole, the mouse pad is a hardened and determined accessory that holds your mouse tightly throughout. With this thing below your mouse, the chances of making a mistake are truly minimal. The 1.8-meter long braided cable gives you enough flexibility to connect the pad to your gaming rig. Furthermore, the durable construction is one of the best that we have seen on a mouse pad.
