Lbabinz Top Xbox Series X / S Accessory Picks

During the latter half of 2021 the Xbox Series X was nearly impossible to obtain. Terrible stock shortages + the Halo Infinite Special Edition console caused something of a frenzy.  Thankfully, that time is (at least currently) in a much better state. And of course, there is always the Xbox Series S which has always been readily available and is an excellent entry level next-gen console, especially when paired with Game Pass!

So now you have an Xbox Series X / S console, and I get asked all the time, what else do I need?  What are the top accessories?  Well, having some experience with this myself, I’m going to give you a list of must-haves, nice-to-haves, and REALLY-nice-to-haves courtesy of our friends at Best Buy Canada!

Must Haves

Play & Charge Kit

Play & Charge Kit

Price: $29.99

Description:

Keep the game going with the Xbox Play & Charge Kit. This rechargeable battery and USB-C cable lets you recharge your Xbox Wireless Controller with a USB-C port while you’re playing or afterwards, even when your Xbox is in standby mode. The durable, long-lasting rechargeable battery fully charges in less than 4 hours so you can keep the action going.

Lbabinz sayz – “If you have kids like I do, this is a must have.  Rather than going through AA batteries like crazy, a trail of used battery mess all over the family room, get a couple of these and never look at another order of AA batteries again.  It honestly still surprises me that Xbox controllers still ship without this, I would happily pay more to have it built in, but luckily they have this must have necessity readily available.”

Headphones

Xbox Stereo Headset

Price: $74.99 – $79.99

Options: Standard, 20th Anniversary Special Edition

Description:

Enhance the audio while going on marathon gaming sessions with this Xbox Stereo headset for Xbox Series X and S, Xbox One and Windows 10. Boasting a compact and lightweight design, they come with soft-to-the touch large earcups and on-ear controls for enhanced comfort. They feature spatial sound capabilities such as Windows Sonic, Dolby Atmos and DTS Headphone”X for an immersive audio experience.

Buy Now

Lbabinz sayz – “If you are going to be playing online at all, you need a good headset.  The Xbox Wireless headset is pretty great at $129.99, but I feel like the wired ones are a steal.  At a very reasonable $74.99 you are getting all the great sounds / mic of the wireless headset at a fraction of the price.  Add in the very cool looks of the 20th Anniversary Special Edition and you can’t go wrong.  A very reasonable, high quality headset at an amazing price.”

Nice to Haves

Extra Controller

Extra Xbox Wireless Controller

Price: $74.99 – $79.99

Options: Carbon Black, Shock Blue, Canada Red, Robot White, Electric Volt, Aqua Shift, Deep Pink

Description:

The future is in your hands with the Xbox Wireless Controller. A modernized design features enhanced ergonomics, a new hybrid D-pad, and textured grip. Remap buttons and create custom controller profiles for your favourite games, and share magic moments with the new Share button. It’s compatible with Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One, Windows 10 PC, and Android (iOS support coming in the future).

Buy Now

Lbabinz sayz – “Technically you don’t “need” another controller, but the different color offerings that Microsoft has available are so vibrant and nice, it’s hard not to. If you have kids as well, knowing whose controller is whose (and which one is Dads) is crucial.  I’m partial to the Pulse Red controller mainly because it looks like a Canadian flag :P.  Don’t forget you can use these on PC as well, they are a fair bit less expensive than the PS5 DualSense and they occasionally even go on sale!”

Phone Mount

PowerA MOGA Hybrid Gaming Clip for Xbox Wireless Controller

Price: $19.99

Description:

Enhance your mobile gaming experience with the PowerA MOGA Hybrid gaming clip for Xbox controllers. You can easily attach your Bluetooth-enabled Xbox controller and smartphone (up to 79mm wide) to play on-the-go. Claw-shaped holder with rubberised accents will securely hold your phone in place. The clip is compatible with PowerA Play and Charger batteries.

Lbabinz sayz – “Somewhat unexpectedly, Xbox Cloud gaming actually works surprisingly well! If you have a decent router with some good wifi speeds, it’s actually a very nice experience to play Xbox games on your phone.  More and more games are being announced for Cloud every day and I only expect the service to get better.  If you are interested in Cloud gaming at all, having a mount for the Xbox Wireless controller is really nice to have.   The PowerA MOGA Gaming Clip comes from a trusted brand and reviews well.”

REALLY Nice to Haves

Storage Expansion

Seagate Storage Expansion

Price: $179.99 – $519.99

Options: 512 GB, 1TB, 2TB

Description:

Expand the storage space on your Xbox Series X or Xbox Series S console with this Seagate Storage Expansion Card. Compatible with the Xbox Velocity Architecture for faster load times, richer environments, and more immersive gameplay, this proprietary card’s storage gives you loads of space and easy plug-in play capabilities.

Buy Now

Lbabinz sayz – “Now we are getting into some of the really nice to have items.  If you don’t want to keep constantly deleting games off of your console (particularly if you are on the Series S digital only system), some extra storage is really, really useful. Sadly it’s still pretty expensive, and there is really only the Seagate option if you want to play Series X / S games off of it, but at least the plug-in-play works extremely well and could not be any easier to install.  Would love to see the price come down a bit, but with game sizes only increasing, it’s almost a requirement.”

Razer Star Wars Wireless Controller & Charging Stand

Razer Star Wars Wireless Controller & Charging Stand

Price: $249.99 $219.99 (on sale)

Options: Mandalorian, Boba Fett

Description:

Precision control and fast charging combine in this Razer Star Wars wireless controller and charging stand bundle.

Lbabinz Top PlayStation 5 Accessory Picks

So you’ve managed to find yourself a PlayStation 5 console? Congrats!! Despite us being well over a year after launch, PlayStation 5 consoles are just as hard to come by as they have been in the past, hopefully I’ve helped a fair number of you with this issue :).

Now that you have a console, I get asked all the time, what else do I need?  What are the top accessories?  Well, having some experience with this myself, I’m going to give you a list of must-haves, nice-to-haves, and REALLY-nice-to-haves courtesy of our friends at Best Buy Canada!

Must Haves

Headphones

Sony’s Pulse 3D Wireless Gaming Headset

Price: $129.99

Options: White or Midnight Black

Description:

Get the perfect sound for your gaming and entertainment experience with the PULSE 3D wireless gaming headset for PlayStation 5. You’ll enjoy a seamless, wireless audio experience with a headset fine-tuned for 3D Audio on PS5 consoles. The headset boasts a sleek, comfy design with dual noise-cancelling microphones, a built-in rechargeable battery, easy-access controls, and more.

SteelSeries Arctis 7P Wireless Gaming Headset

MSRP: $219.99

Description:

The SteelSeries Arctis 7P wireless headset is designed specifically for PlayStation 5 with backwards compatibility on PlayStation 4 and other platforms. It has 24-hour battery life for nonstop gaming, easy on-headset controls, a durable and adjustable build, and lossless ultra-low latency wireless connectivity.

Buy Now

Lbabinz says – “Having a set of headphones that include a mic is pretty much a required accessory to play any type of online game on the PlayStation 5.  There are tons of aftermarket headphones available and some sold directly by Sony.

I’m presently using Sony’s Pulse 3D Wireless Gaming Headset and, for the most part, am very happy with it. The sound is rich and deep and makes great use of the PlayStation 5’s 3D audio.  This can create very cool effects such as hearing sounds in the distance, or from the sides. It really works well and is one of my favorite new features on the PS5.

My only true complaint with them is they fit a little snug around the ears, so this can sometimes create some minor discomfort during extended gaming sessions. I feel like the more I wear them, this seems to become better, but that is my only minor complaint.

The SteelSeries Arctis 7P Wireless Gaming Headset retails for a bit more but I have heard plenty of amazing things about it and it seems to fix the issues I have with the tight feeling over the head.  A bit more luxury, but may be a better fit.”

Controller Charger

DualSense Controller Charging Dock

MSRP: $39.99

Description:

Charge up to two DualSense wireless controllers (sold separately) at the same time with the PlayStation 5 DualSense Wireless Controller Charging Station. With the charging station’s click-in design, you can dock your controllers quickly and easily. They’ll charge as quickly as when they’re connected to your PS5 console, so you can free up USB ports without sacrificing performance.

Buy Now

Lbabinz sayz – “The DualSense Controller Charging Dock is a no brainer if you have multiple controllers, and even if you don’t! It’s really nice to not have the USB cable hanging out from your console and the aesthetics are very nice. It also charges the controllers faster than the standard USB cable. Add a reasonable price point ($39.99) and the Sony quality we all know and love and you have a no-brainer.”

Nice to Haves

Extra Controller

Extra DualSense Wireless Controllers

Price: $89.99 – $94.99

Options: White, Midnight Black, Cosmic Red, Galactic Purple, Starlight Blue, Nova Pink

Description:

Bring the action to life in the palms of your hands with the PlayStation 5 DualSense wireless controller. It offers immersive haptic feedback, dynamic adaptive triggers, a built-in microphone, and more, all integrated into an iconic comfortable design that’s sure to deliver a deeper, highly immersive gaming experience on your PS5.

Console Covers

Console Covers

Price: $69.99

Options: Disc Midnight Black, Disc Cosmic Red, Digital Midnight Black, Digital Cosmic Red

Description:

Protect your PlayStation 5 console from dust, scratches, damage and daily use with this cover. Made by PlayStation, its unique design allows easy access to all the buttons and lets you personalise your console with an easy to use cover and a matching DualSense wireless controller (sold separately) for a complete, vibrant look.

Buy Now

Lbabinz sayz – “The extra controllers / console covers are all about style.  Not everyone is fond of the default PS5 styling (I’m a fan personally) and Sony has heard and allowed you to trick out your PS5 however you want.  The final plan is to have the exact same console cover choice colors as the controllers, however some are releasing later this year, only Midnight Black and Cosmic Red have released presently.

Generic screenshots don’t really do them justice, if you have seen a console decked out in one, it looks really, really good with strong, vibrant colors.  Definitely an enjoyable way to show off your style through your console, if not exactly a requirement.”

Media Remote

Media Remote

Price: $39.99

Description:

Navigate your entertainment options with ease through your PS5 console with the PlayStation 5 Media Remote Control. Featuring an intuitive layout with easy-to-use media controls, you can simplify your set-up. Power on your PS5 console directly, adjust the volume and power settings of compatible TVs, and more.

Lbabinz sayz – “I personally use my PS5 as not just a gaming machine, but also as a family media center. It has access to Netflix, iTunes, YouTube, etc. PLUS it can play 4K discs (provided you have the Disc version).

The Media remote is a nice addition if you use your PS5 like I do, puts everything at the click of a button without having to break out the DualSense and navigate through menus. At $39.99, it’s not a requirement, but makes life easier.

REALLY Nice to Haves

Lbabinz sayz – “And finally we come to the REALLY nice to haves. I say this mostly because, while you need something to watch your gaming system on and you somewhere to sit, you can go really all out in these arenas!

First off, you need to decide; are you a “sit at a desk and game” sort of gamer, or are you a “lay on the couch and game” type of gamer. I typically fall into the latter segment but I know plenty of gamers that fall into the former, and that seems to be a growing trend.

Lbabinz sayz – “For a TV, you really need to consider where you will be playing the console. If you have a fair distance between yourself and the TV, you can go with something a bit larger. It seems text in games is only getting smaller and so when I’m on the couch and a fair distance away I like a big screen. I’m currently using an 85” Hisense and it looks great.

That being said, if you have a little less room and want something a little sharper with deep colors, the LG OLED TVs are really nice and you can frequently find them on sale lately. It all comes down to how you want to game and choosing the right option for your style.”

Lbabinz sayz – “For a gaming monitor, you would probably want something 27″ or larger (I like 32″ myself), and a lot of folks are suggesting a 4K monitor with HDMI 2.1 (which is starting to become more prevalent).  For a more future proof setup, it might be worth putting in some more dollars for the newer monitors, but you can certainly make do with something less. I’m currently using a 27″ ASUS monitor and it looks sharp when paired with the PS5.”

Lbabinz sayz – “If you fall into the “monitor at a desk” segment of gaming, then a good gaming chair can make a world of difference. You need something that’s comfy, and with good ergonomic support.  I like to look for chairs that will last as well, as you will be spending a good amount of time in them. I like the Razer chairs, but a good office chair is sometimes even better than a dedicated gaming chair.”

Logitech G Pro X Superlight 16000 DPI Wireless HERO Optical Gaming Mouse Review

Our friends at Best Buy Canada and Logitech were kind and generous enough to provide us with a Logitech G Pro X Superlight 16000 DPI Wireless HERO Optical Gaming Mouse to both review and also one to give away!

A winner has been drawn! Congrats to @followguga for winning!

To enter for your chance to win one:

  • Like + RT this tweet 
  • Comment below telling us what you look for most in a gaming mouse
  • Giveaway ends January 17, 2022
  • Entrants must be residents of Canada
  • Winner will be contacted via Twitter DM

For the purposes of this review, I’ll be focusing on using this mouse for two major purposes. First, from a gaming perspective. As some of you know, I don’t play a lot of games with a keyboard and mouse, but luckily my kids sure do and my two boys have been using this mouse extensively over the holidays for a variety of games and have given me their opinions on it.  Secondly, I’ve been using the same mouse from an office perspective. As you know, speed of posting to social media is a very important aspect of what I do and I feel that I really have an understanding of what this mouse can do.

From a gaming perspective, my kids focussed heavily on two games; Roblox and Fortnite. They played on an Xbox Series X and an Xbox One S. Having never played with a higher end mouse, this was quite a game changer for both of my sons (one 15, the other 10).  The mouse is extremely light and easy to plug in and get going with. With Roblox, this made things very easy to control and, given the platforming nature of a lot of the games, helped out dramatically by cutting down the possibility for mistakes.

Fortnite is where this mouse really seems to shine though. Anyone who has played Fortnite competitively will note that speed and accuracy are very important elements for success.  This mouse allows for very rapid movements and, perhaps more importantly, extreme accuracy.  Definitely the children’s ability to build / maneuver / make crucial shots were accelerated greatly.  Again, this comes from using a much more simplistic mouse in the past, but the Logitech G Pro X Superlight 16000 DPI Wireless HERO Optical Gaming Mouse made a tremendous difference for the kids.  It took me a while to wrangle it back out of their hands.

Now, as for office use, typically I use an Apple Magic Mouse so this was a quite a bit different for me.  Immediately of note is how light the Logitech mouse is.  It’s easily half the weight, if not less.  It actually took a bit of getting used to for me simply because of how light it is. It’s light which means you can move it around rapidly.  Once adjusted to it, you can do more, faster.

The biggest improvement I found however was the accuracy.  The Magic Mouse, perhaps due to its weight, I find that occasionally I will overshoot my target and have to go back for it.  The Logitech I found myself hitting whatever I was going for with greater ease and with a higher level of precision.  This would be a lovely mouse to use in the office.

If I had one complaint, and this may be a Mac specific complaint, it’s comparing the scroll wheel vs the Magic Mouse’s swipe to scroll.  The Magic Mouse has some momentum to it, which I’m used to and appreciate, while the scroll wheel on the Logitech is precise and accurate. How much you roll it equals how far it scrolls. This might actually be a bonus for some, however I’m so used to some momentum that it was difficult for me to get used to.  Further to this point is that using the scroll wheel wouldn’t trigger a “refresh” of application features such as pulling down to refresh my Twitter feed in Tweetbot.  Again, this is a fairly specific issue, but worth mentioning perhaps for Mac users.

Overall, the Logitech G Pro X Superlight 16000 DPI Wireless HERO Optical Gaming Mouse feels premium.  When used in a gaming setting, it’s incredibly light, accurate and produces far less errors than some mice I have used in the past. In the office, it’s a perfectly serviceable replacement for most mice but definitely this mouse was made for gaming.

If you would like to give it a try, you can pick it up at Best Buy Canada here (MSRP $199.99 CAD).

Additional Specifications:

  • Ambidextrous wireless gaming mouse is perfect for left-handers and right-handers alike
  • Designed in collaboration with some of the world’s top esports professionals for hardcore gamers who require the ultimate in precision
  • LIGHTSPEED wireless connectivity provides the dependable, millisecond-fast performance required for a lag-free experience at a range of up to 1.8 metres
  • HERO sensor gives precise, fast, and consistent control across the entire 16,000 dpi range, and can be updated to 25,600 max DPI via firmware update
  • Large zero-additive PTFE feet glide smoothly for a fluid connection
  • Five programmable buttons (including scroll wheel) let you set up to game your way
  • Customisable RGB lighting adds to the experience
  • Ultra-lightweight design weighs just 63 grams, using a minimal redesign that’s nearly 25% lighter than a standard Logitech Pro wireless mouse
  • Rechargeable design with a long battery life of up to 70 hours (depending on usage) to save you the hassle and cost of changing batteries
