Simply put, this is the best gaming keyboard of the year that also happens to be on the quieter side. Razer has a reputation in gaming for a reason.

It also comes with dedicated macro keys, a wrist rest, and traditionally cool Razer RGB lighting that even extends to the wrist rest. You can adjust all features via the Razer Synapse software.

When it comes to Super Mario Bros., the Piranha Plant might be as iconic as Mario and Luigi themselves. This LEGO Super Mario Piranha Plant set commemorates the villain with 540 pieces. Pose the head, mouth, stalk, and leaves to personalize your plant. Two coins are also included as a small bonus. A great pick for any Super Mario Bros. fan!

1. SteelSeries Arctis Nova Pro Wireless Headset

The SteelSeries Arctis Nova Pro Wireless clears as our top pick for the best gaming headset of 2024. By far the most unique high-tier feature you’ll find here is the ability to listen and communicate with two different outputs. You can, for example, talk to your buddies in Discord on your phone while gaming on your console at the same time. It’s the type of magical technology that even Santa’s workshop is still trying to replicate.

And that’s it for our list of the best gaming Christmas gifts. Whether you add these items to your list or not, we hope it at least gave you some ideas for Santa later this year!
