Gaming is platform-agnostic. From your mobile device to a PC or console, most gadgets offers a satisfying gaming experience. There are countless titles out there to suit players of every age, taste and interest. No matter how good the game is though, if your equipment lets you down then you’re not going to have much fun.

To avoid those frustrating deaths, lag, and lack of control, make sure to check out these great gaming peripherals.

Roccat Isku FX Keyboard

The Roccat Isku FX is a surprisingly simple and well-designed piece of hardware. With spacious and comfortable keys, backlit with LEDs that can change colour when equipped with the driver software, this keyboard is not only impressive but brilliant to use as well. Considered the only non-mechanical keyboard worth using in gaming, it features various programmable vkeys. So whether you’re getting lost in Titanfall or just wanting to stay ahead in a game of Rush Poker, we won’t judge, this is the keyboard to give you that competitive edge.

That’s why you should opt for none other than the definitive gaming headset.

Debuting at CES this year, the SteelSeries Stratus is the first wireless controller to connect to devices running on iOS 7. Potentially changing the shape of mobile gaming, this controller delivers a console style playing experience to mobile and tablet devices, allowing you to get lost in your game no matter where you are. Along with a wonderfully classic design, the controller also has up to 10 hours of battery life and takes just two hours to fully charge, so you’ll never be left bored on that long commute again.

Xbox Gamepad for Windows

We’ve got to keep it OG and talk about the Xbox controller and it’s PC functionality. Microsoft hit the nail on the head in terms of comfort, reliability, feedback and durability. It is therefore no surprise that PC gamers want a taste of it too. Giving players complete control over big PC title releases, the gamepad is available in both wired and wireless designs. You don’t have to buy it twice either, as it’ll work on your Xbox 360 as well as your PC.

That does it for this list, but rest-assured we’ll be updating the list with our favorites throughout the year, so be sure you’re following us on Twitter and are subscribed to our blog!
