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.
