As a gaming gadget reviewer, there's a roster of gaming gear I rely on literally every day. So if you're looking for some recommendations for products to upgrade your gaming setup this Prime Day, I've got plenty of tips for you!
You might not be surprised to hear this but I'm a serious gaming nerd. As I write this, I have at least six gaming devices within 10 feet of me and more hidden away upstairs. I use at least one or two of these consoles every day — and that's totally ignoring my favorite accessories. So here's just a handful of the gadgets I currently couldn't game without.
Currently, my personal fave accessory in my home setup is the wonderfully engineered ASUS ROG Raikiri II controller. You can buy the ASUS ROG Raikiri II at Amazon for
When it comes to consoles, I'd definitely recommend the superb performance and graphical fidelity of the Xbox Series X Digital Edition, which you can currently get at Amazon for

Planning your next vacation? Get your handheld console ready with a bunch of my favorite accessories.
I've tried more Nintendo Switch 2 accessories than I can count, but these six are simply the best
The Nintendo Switch 2 is also well worth it, particularly before its price hike this September — and you can net yourself the Choose Your Game Bundle at Amazon for $499, which allows you to get it with a digital download of Mario Kart World, Donkey Kong Bananza, or Pokémon Pokopia into the bargain.
But while it's not purely a gaming device, my biggest tip this sale might be the fact you can grab the TCL QM8K 65-inch at Amazon for
Based in the UK? Don't worry! I've dug up the best equivalent UK deals and prices I could find for all of these items below. And if you want the drop on other top price reductions out there, I've got a pro-tip for you — check out our Amazon Prime Day UK deals roundup for the hottest bargains.
Not gonna lie: I legit love my ASUS ROG Raikiri II. As you can see from my 4.5 star review, I'm a big fan of its TMR thumbsticks and triggers and its low-latency 2.4GHz wireless connectivity. My only criticism is how much it costs but, thanks to this ace deal, you can save yourself a huge $46.
With the Nintendo Switch 2's price rising in September, I'd heartily recommend you grab yours soon. And with this great bundle, you can get it with a digital copy of either Mario Kart World, Donkey Kong Bananza, or Pokémon Pokopia for at least $20 less than any of the equivalent physical game bundles.
UK price (non-bundle): now £369.95 at Amazon (was £395.99)
Offering as great a performance as my mid-range gaming rig in a much smaller space, the Xbox Series X serves up stunning graphics and super smooth performance. And honestly, unless you're wedded to physical media, the Digital Edition is by far the best deal.
While the Xbox is a good console, to me, what makes it great is Xbox Game Pass. On the Ultimate tier, I've currently got access to over 400 games, all for far less than what I'd usually spend on games a month. While we're not yet seeing any discounts this Prime Day, this is a very decent price for a truly enormous amount of content.
Not only does my TCL QM8K (AKA the C8K in the UK) offer a vibrant, gorgeous picture, but I also love its gaming features like 4K at 144 Hz, AMD Free Sync Premium Pro, ALLM and Dolby Vision gaming. While it fell to $897.99 last Black Friday, if you can't wait till November to upgrade your TV, this is still a total bargain.
What I love about the Beyerdynamic MMX 150 is how versatile it is, with sound presets letting you tailor the audio to different genres while its fantastically spatial sound is great for detecting enemies in shooters. With this $50 discount, I heartily recommend checking it out.
