The best gaming accessories on a budget for 2025

You don’t need to spend a fortune to level up your gaming setup. The right budget-friendly gear can still deliver the comfort, performance and style you need whether you’re on Xbox, PlayStation, a gaming PC or a Nintendo handheld. Affordable doesn’t have to mean low quality — today’s peripherals often bring the same features as pricier gear, like RGB lighting, noise cancellation and even USB-C connectivity.

From headsets that double as work headphones to keyboards and mice built for fast reactions, there’s plenty of gaming gear that offers high-quality performance without emptying your wallet. The best picks make sense for students, casual players or any PC gamer who wants to save money for actual games instead of accessories.
