The best-selling gaming accessories 

  • Wired headsets and mice are more popular than wireless models, in terms of sales last year 
  • Based on Currys sales figures, PC gaming accessories are higher in demand than console gaming gadgets  

With wired gaming headsets and mice topping the list of the best-selling gaming accessories of 2020, it’s apparent that the wired editions are more popular than wireless devices. This is likely because gamers feel the USB provides a more stable and responsive connection. On the other hand, wireless models can offer more freedom of movement without tangled wires in the way. PC gaming gadgets are also in higher demand than console accessories, potentially due to the more customisable nature of a PC gaming setup.  

 

Top 10 best-selling gaming accessories 
Type of accessory  Total orders in 2020 
Wired Gaming Headsets  57,848 
Wired Gaming Mice  37,333 
PC Gaming Chairs  22,655 
Gaming Keyboards  21,083 
Mechanical Gaming Keyboards  19,103 
Wireless Gaming Headsets  17,907 
Gaming Wheels  13,583 
Console Headsets  12,435 
Wireless Gaming Mice  8,833 
Xbox Console Headsets  7,800
