Our team of experts has tested and reviewed the latest console, handheld and gaming accessories for Tom’s Guide Awards 2025. Below, we highlight gaming devices and accessories, which have continued our play session in the last 12 months and even made the best game more fun to play.
Best console
Ps5 slim
The table actually has only two candidates when it comes to selecting the best console that you can buy in 2025: PS5 and Nintendo Switch 2. While the latter is a luxurious hybrid and may be the recipients of this award in the future, its launch library is currently very high to win, and therefore Sony’s flagship Kansol, Ps5 slim The variant keeps its crown for another year.
With about five years in your life cycle, and with two fresh models (PS5 Slim and PS5 Pro) on the market, this console is hitting its strid after a slow start for the generation at the end. The slim chunky launch reduces the huge size of the model, and it currently distributes all-around console experience. While the supporter is a great pick for performance.
The Best PS5 game now includes some true unprecedented titles, including exclusion such as Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 and Astro Bot. And we cannot forget how impressive SSD is. This has been re -established for a long loading screen for one thing of the past. Dualsense is also the best console controller on the market, its unique characteristics such as Haptic feedback and adaptive trigger still novels. The PS5 slim also offers great value at $ 499 (often bundle with a game), and it decreases even more during major sales events.
Best Handheld Gaming Console
Lenovo Legion Go S
Lenovo Legion Go S The hand we are dreaming is. It combines the effective glasses of ROG Elli X with a smooth experience of steamos. As long as another steamos device with an AMD ryzen Z2 extreme chip shows somehow this year, Lenovo Legion Go with Stemos is easily the best handheld gaming console of 2025.
This device is a very big step for gaming handheld, but it is also fantastic in itself. If you have thought of getting a handheld, it is definitely going to grab. Of course, if you are happy with your current steam deck or limit the steamos slightly, the Windows 11 version of this handhald may exceed your street. When you cannot do wrong with any version of Legion GoS, the steamos version is best for most people.
Best VR Headset
Meta Quest 3S A premium at an affordable price offers VR experience, which has outstanding AR abilities and access to hundreds of quest 3 games and apps. It is the best VR headset thanks to its Snapdragon XR2 Gen2 processor and 8GB RAM, which ensures smooth performance with a variable 90–120Hz refresh rate that is comparable to Quest 3.
He said, it is different from Quest 3 using the Fresnell lens of Quest 2, resulting in a small area of view, low resolution and bulkier design. Despite these differences, Quest 3S is a great, low-cost option for Quest 3 that is great for VR newcomers, looking for an inexpensive entry-level device, opposite to expensive Apple Vision Pro.
Best gaming monitor
Alienware 34 QD-Old
Alienware 34 QD-Old Starting significant reforms maintains the excellent characteristics of its predecessor. The new flat stands conservation of desk desk space, and the elegant “interester indigo” chassis ensures that it looks fitting in both a gaming setup and a professional office environment.
The performance retains its impressive 1800R winding panel and ultravide 21: 9 aspect ratio, providing a deep immersive gaming experience. Performance-wise, it claims a fast 240Hz refreshing rate and low 0.03MS response time. These glasses, combined with its sharp 1440p resolution and vivid colors, provide a visually stunning and incredibly smooth gaming experience, with virtually no input interval.
Best Gaming Keyboard
Lemokey l5 he
Therefore, Lemoki finally showed to the party. And this means that in 2025 it means that ultimately a gaming keyboard made it worthy of mixing it with big boys and it is a board Lemokey l5 he – Best Gaming Keyboard since 2025.
Lemokey is a sub-brand of cycron, which creates some best mechanical keyboards for productivity. But lemoces are usually rebranded to Kycron with gaming-centered cakep and some “gamer” branding.
L5 He changed everyone: hall effect switch, 8K voting, tons of gaming facilities, as much modeing capacity as possible, as much as possible you may need, and beautiful construction quality. It is fully adapable with epic lemke launcher software, where you can accommodate activism, key binds and advanced features such as rapid trigger and last priority (aka ‘Snap tap’). L5 He is also an 8,000 Hz Polling Board, which is suitable for challenging boards such as Elite-Tier Gaming and Vooting 80he. Lemoki can be late for the party, but never better than never.
Best gaming mouse
Corsair M75
Finally with the title AAA, MACOS is running easily on machines, Corsair M75 Today is the most capable gaming mouse for Apple. Sporting a minimum design that makes it almost elegant as Mac, M75 comes in a beautiful glacier blue colorway.
But if it is not enough to win you, then we love this mouse with 26,000 DPIs and 1,000 Hz Polling Rate, causing it to a stellar artist in cyberpank, which is a lie of P and others. Its optical switches are extremely sensitive and comfortable for long -term use. It is the easiest mouse to customize, and we do not mean that in the context of its software. The side button can be replaced with people with different textures as they are magnetic, causing M75 to walk in the park.
Best gaming headset
Stalsariur Arctis Nova 3 Wireless
Stalasariur Arctis Nova 3 This year received a wireless update, and as soon as we tested it, we knew it would be difficult to defeat it. It is thanks to its highly comfortable design and fit, luxurious and huge earcips, and elastic headband that lends a mild experience to the headset.
It also excels in the sound department. 40 mm NEODYMIM driver and 200 game-tuned presets ensure that you listen to each sound, regardless of the title you are playing. This makes the thanksgiving soundscape thanks to directional and spatial audio. In fact, we love it so much that when we stopped using the headset, real life began to look boring.
Its multi-platform compatibility is cherry at the top, as it has a loud and clear mike that ensures that when you fail to lockpick, everyone can hear you with joy in frustration at an enemy or lukewarm at the bottom of your breath.
Best gaming chair
DX racer martian
Dxracer martian Immediately stands out of other gaming chairs that we have reviewed in the past. For the beginning, it has a strong seat, less aggressively decreases and only comes in a very smooth all-black design. When it comes to adaptation, you only need to make a real option whether you want a chair with leather sugar or fabric finish. While Dxracer Martian may look simple at first glance, it is packed with innovative technology that we have yet seen on any other gaming or office chair for the case.
Which Martian feels about one out-of-the-world, although it is that DXRCER has equipped this gaming chair with 5,000 mAh batteries. For what purpose you must be thinking? Well, Martian has an electric adjustable backrest.
With a push of a button, you can immediately replace its reclin angle from 90 ° to 135 °. However, this is not all because Martian also comes with the underlying airbag which depends on how much lumbar you need. They are powered by the same internal batteries and when combined, Martian’s airbags and electric backrest really feel that you are sitting in your car instead of your desk.
Best sports membership service
Nvidia geforce now
The Xbox Cloud can be a matter of the city of gaming (I am still leaving an existent crisis whether I am an Xbox after that advertising campaign). but really, Nvidia geforce now The game is a clear leader in streaming for three major reasons.
First, NVIDIA has adapted the service at the point that you will not feel any delayed by your control as to what is on-screen, while the views are crispy without any mess, which you get with bandwidth, and the demand for network connections is relatively modest on 35 Mbps.
Second, the way you can play, it is ever expanding-recently breathing new life in my steam deck, as well as Mac, Meta Quest and even with apps available on TV. Wherever you are important, looking at this service how good looks on the game remote gaming PC!
And finally, it comes down to the games you can play. Beyond being able to play game pass games through streaming, you can connect other game library such as steams and also play titles that you also have.
There is a condition that Nvidia Geforce now has to support the game. But looking at service Supports over 2,000 gamesI have a lot of doubt that you will ever participate in a problem!
