It can be challenging to buy gifts for the gamers in the family who already have the latest gear. Many gamers also prefer to stick to specific brands or models and might be hesitant to try anything different when it comes to their main gaming gear. 

Gaming accessories are the ideal gift for gamers who already have most of their equipment set in stone. While they don’t add anything to the direct gaming experience, gaming accessories can enhance the functionality of other equipment or just make life simpler with a comfortable or user-friendly design. Some popular gaming accessories include headset holders, docking stations, and laptops stands.

Here are the best gaming accessories for gifting in 2021.

The Asus ROG Throne Qi headset stand gives users a safe place to store their headset while saving desk space. It has a clean design with a square base and long plastic neck to accommodate most headsets. There’s an RGB strip lining the base and another on the transparent shard on the stand with 18 lighting zones in total.

Users also get other nifty functions on the ROG Throne Qi. The base has a built-in fast charger for mobile phones, and it also acts as a hub with a pair of USB 3.1 ports. One of the unexpected features of the ROG Throne Qi is the built-in digital-to-analog converter (DAC) that offers 7.1 virtual surround sound when users plug in their headsets.

Razer’s Laptop Stand Chroma stand is a relatively simple accessory that can improve a laptop’s ergonomics. This device elevates the laptop and tilts it to an 18-degree angle. Having the screen placed higher up can reduce slouching and promotes a healthier upright sitting position. Some users also find that the higher angle of the keyboard reduces stress on the wrists.

The Laptop Stand Chroma is sturdy and can accommodate most laptops. It’s made from aluminum and can support laptops between 14 and 17 inches. Some of the extra features include a built-in USB hub with two USB-A ports, a USB-C port, and an HDMI port.

Users can add RGB lighting to their setup with the Corsair iCUE LS100 LED Smart Lighting Strip Starter Kit. The kit contains two 17.71-inch LED strips with 27 individually addressable LEDs and two short 250-millimeter strips with an external power adapter, a USB cable, and a lighting controller.

While the strips can be daisy-chained together, they can’t be cut and joined. Each strip is enclosed in thick plastic that can’t twist or fold but is solid enough to protect the lighting. The plastic bases have a dual-mounting system with magnets and an adhesive backing for a secure fit.
