This Compact Mechanical Gaming Keyboard is GORGEOUS

  via Amazon  

RGB mechanical keyboards can be so pricey! I’m amazed how budget-friendly this beauty is. If you’re interested in modding, reviewer Hunter S. DiCicco gets right to the specs you need: “This is a great hotswap 60% option for getting into the hobby of mechanical keyboards. I’ve been modding mine heavily and it looks, feels and sounds exactly as I had imagined my 60% keyboard when I first decided I wanted one. The lighting effects are superb. Definitely invest in some switches with transparent top housings to let that beautiful light shine through. It comes with Outemu Reds, which are pretty good if you like linear switches, and they do have transparent top housings.” You can also buy it as is and enjoy one of four sleek designs!

The Cutest Joy-Con Thumb Grips for Your Switch

  via Amazon  

I’m obsessed with all things Kawaii, so you know I love these little joy-con caps! They look super cute and they’ll protect your joysticks from scratches. Reviewer Lucky Geckos says they’re easy to put back on, even if you accidentally pop them off: “If you’re playing a slightly more active game like super smash or Mario Kart, you may accidentally pop one of the caps off 😅 But over all the times I’ve used them for the past month, that’s only happened one time. And it’s easy to just put it back on anyway, so it’s all good! Highly recommend, especially if you have the ACNH switch! Makes it look like the frog is in the grass and the axolotl is in the water hahaha. Super adorable and durable! Worth it!”

This Laptop Stand Comes with RGB Lights!

  via Amazon  

We really don’t talk about gaming laptops enough. I only just got a full tower setup going myself, but I’ve been using gaming laptops for years and they never let me down (except for once with GTA 5 when it was new). If you prefer the laptop style or you’re saving up for that hefty RTX 4090, why not enjoy some RGB with the rest of us? You deserve it!

Overpower the Competition with These Turbo Enabled Joy-Cons

  via Amazon  

If you want all of the perks of a Switch pro controller in handheld mode, this is the product for you. Buyer Jacq says these extra grippy joy-cons really changed the whole gaming experience for the better: “They’re nice, thick joy-cons that make the Switch feel more like a ‘Pro’ type of console in handheld mode. I do most of my gaming in handheld anyway, so it’s nice to up the quality of the handheld joy-cons, while still having the ability to have a wireless controller if I need one. In addition – that means you can have a turbo on your handheld switch! I love using turbo in a lot of my games, but especially Animal Crossing. It makes crafting and diving so much easier! It’s really a quality of life adjustment. Skilled games where response times are crucial make the beefy size of the controllers another useful add-on as well.”
