Gaming Accessories Guide: PS5 and Xbox Controllers, Gaming Headsets and Gaming Chairs

Before buying, confirm which console the accessory is made for — a PS5 controller, an Xbox controller and a Nintendo Switch controller are not interchangeable, and some headsets only work fully on one platform.

PS5 controllers, Xbox controllers and Switch controllers

What to check:

• Platform: official or officially licensed controllers work with every feature.
• Battery: rechargeable vs AA, and how long it runs.
• Extras: back paddles, trigger stops and remappable buttons for competitive play.

Gaming headsets

A gaming headset lets players hear footsteps and talk to friends. Wireless is tidier; wired never needs charging. Look for a clear boom microphone, soft ear cushions for long sessions and volume-limiting for younger players.
