The current market is flooded with a plethora of gaming accessories that do everything and anything you could think of. The problem is finding high quality accessories that are also efficient. With yesterday’s console release of Diablo III, we decided to search high and low to compile a list that highlights some of the best gaming accessories available right now.
Logitech PS3 Driving Force GT
The Logitech PS3 Driving Force GT is a must-have accessory for all serious racing game fans. If a realistic driving experience is what you are looking for, look no further than this epic driving wheel. The Logitech PS3 Driving Force GT is packed with an advanced force feedback feature, that translates every bump and motion of your on-screen vehicle. And if that’s not enough to pique your interest, the leather and rubber grips feel fabulous on your hands. The super slick steering wheel is also compatible with your old PS2, Windows XP, Windows Vista, and Windows 7, making it a completely versatile pick-up.
ASTRO Gaming A50 Wireless Headset
The ASTRO Gaming A50 Wireless Headset is for serious gamers only. The Dolby 7.1 Surround Sound will allow you to hear the tiniest details, including those sounds you didn’t even know were audible to the human ear. (Yes, even those tormenting screams from the pits of Hell.) These headsets will arm you with the audio power required to leave your demon foes in awe after they’ve attempted to take your soul.
Nyko Charge Base 360 S for Xbox 360
For all you social gamers out there, the Nyko Charge Base 360 S for Xbox 360 will prove to come in quite handy. With magical batteries that give you 25 hours of battery life and charge in only two hours, time is definitely on your side. The base also loads up to two controllers at a time, allowing you to juice up all your controllers at once. It’s time to get your friends on the phone and make it a game night.
Sony PlayStation 3 Blu-ray Disc Remote
Some might ask what is the point of having a separate remote when you can just use the PS3’s controller. Those people have clearly never used the Sony PlayStation 3 Blu-ray Disc Remote. An awesomely useful tool when watching movies, surfing the web, and browsing the PSN store, there are even a couple of games that are compatible with the remote if you’re charging your controllers and don’t want to get up from your comfortable spot on the couch.
Hori Tactical Assault Commander 3 Keypad and Mouse
Feeling like you need to give your precision in first-person shooters a boost? Try the Hori Tactical Assault Commander 3 Keypad and Mouse, which will give you a PC-style feel and accuracy on your PS3. And if you’re wondering, the keypad is a scaled-down version of a typical gaming keyboard that allows you to create macros for repetitive keystrokes. Thank us later.
Penguin United Eagle Eye Mouse and Keyboard Converter for Xbox 360
Transitioning from a PC to a console can be a difficult life experience. Thankfully, Penguin United thought about all the features that would make a PC gamer long for a keyboard and mouse and created a converter for them. The Eagle Eye allows you to plug in your traditional tools directly to your Xbox 360 for the full PC experience.
Circle Pad Pro for Nintendo 3DS
If you want more control while playing action games on Nintendo 3DS, the Circle Pad Pro is an accessory you should look into immediately. The CPP adds an additional analog circle pad on the right side of the 3DS, giving it a more traditional double analog stick controller feel. Now you have no one else to blame for those missed points other than yourself.
Xbox 360 Wireless Headset with Bluetooth
Big, professional headsets aren’t for everyone. If you are looking for a lightweight solution for multiplayer communication, the Xbox 360 Wireless Headset with Bluetooth is a great buy. With a comfortable, slick, and sexy design, it can also be used with your Bluetooth-enabled cell phone when you step away from the game.
PowerA - GlowFX Stylus for Nintendo DS, DS Lite, DSi, DSi XL, 3DS and 3DS XL
Sometimes we feel standard styli don’t give us the support we need. We have yearned for something more with a better grip and style. The PowerA - GlowFX Stylus offers this and much more. This customizable glowing stylus has the sturdy grip we have been looking for, and allows for color customization of up to five colors for totally unique style.
CTA Digital Carrying Case for Xbox 360 Slim / Xbox 360 E and Kinect
The release of Diablo III will surely force some of you out of the house to get your multiplayer on. This carrying case is perfect for such events. The case holds everything including the console, power brick, controllers, and a Kinect pack. And while it allows you to carry up to four games, we all know which one you will really be playing.
