A controller with all the extras
If your gift recipient has a competitive spirit or just likes to show off, then we have the controller for them. The Clutch Gladiate RGB, compatible with both PC and Xbox, is a wired RGB controller that'll light up their gaming life both literally and metaphorically. The clear plastic shell allows tech-lovers to peer at the controllers innards as they work. RGB lights have been dotted around the design and can be swapped between three different effects and seven different colors.
Like you, though, the Clutch Gladiate RGB isn't just a looker! Officially licensed by Xbox, the pad features programmable rear buttosn and dual trigger locks. Both features are immensely useful for competitive players, letting them tailor the controller to the response and input they need for each game. Immersion gets a boost too thanks to dual rumble motors and impulse triggers with variable force feedback.

A durable mechanical keyboard
Gaming can get intense, we know that all too well, and so do our regular buyers! The HyperX Alloy Origins Core PBT is a compact board that covers all bases elegantly. Satisfying mechanical switches? Check. Customizable RGB lighting? Yep. Durable PBT keys to withstand even the most ferocious tapping? You bet.
The Alloy Origins Core PBT is a tenkeyless model. That means it drops the numpad to become more portable and free up desk space while still delivering on functionality. Its RGB lights can be fully customized using HyperX's Ngenuity software – your gift recipient can even load up custom, game-themed profiles we've designed! Finally, there's those PBT keycaps. They offer a unique texture and increased level of durability, ensuring they'll be good to game with for countless sessions to come. If you want to add a dash of excitement to the gift, consider picking up some 3D-printed keycaps as an entertaining extra.
