What do you buy a gamer who has everything?

A better version of a thing they use for hours a day: a mechanical keyboard, a controller with a proper d-pad, a second controller for the friend on the sofa. Peripherals wear out and get upgraded; that is the gap.

Can I gift a PC game?

Yes — Steam lets you buy a game as a gift and send it to a friend's account, or you can add funds. It arrives immediately, which makes it the one genuinely last-minute option.

Does a controller work on a PC and a console?

Many third-party controllers pair with PC, Switch and Android; PlayStation and Xbox are pickier. Check the listing's platform line, or — the honest answer — ask which they play on.

Gifts for gamers

Gamers are easy to buy for and hard to buy well for: the thing they want is specific, and the thing you guess is usually the thing they already have.

This list stays on the side of the hobby that survives guessing — controllers and keyboards that work on any setup, and PC games that arrive as a code the same minute, which is also the only proper last-minute gift in this whole site. Real UK prices, in stock.

For anything platform-specific, ask. A gamer's wishlist is the most detailed list you will ever receive.
