CES 2025 is concluding, yet this year’s influx of gaming accessories is just beginning.
A variety of thrilling new technological items debuted at CES, including Lenovo’s newest handheld gaming PC and an innovative gaming chair from Razer, along with numerous new laptops.
Although many fascinating items were introduced, five particularly captured my interest. If you’re in the market for a new gaming keyboard, an adjustable mouse, or the perfect gaming chair, these five gaming accessories from CES 2025 are definitely noteworthy.
HyperX Pulsefire Saga Pro modular gaming mouse
Possibly the most groundbreaking accessory revealed at CES 2025 is the HyperX Pulsefire Saga Pro. This is the most adaptable gaming mouse I’ve encountered. The casing is modular, enabling you to create up to 16 varied configurations using different magnetic casing components and buttons. This essentially makes the Pulsefire Saga Pro a versatile gaming mouse tailored to your individual preferences, whether regarding hand size or gaming style.
As an individual with smaller hands, I recognize how difficult it can be to locate a gaming mouse that fits perfectly. It becomes even trickier for left-handed players. A modular structure like the one in the Pulsefire Saga Pro could serve as an ideal solution for countless gamers. It’s a welcome change from mouse designs that default to accommodate only the most common demographic: right-handed gamers with larger hands.
The Pulsefire Saga Pro is a wireless gaming mouse with a weight of 72 grams and a maximum polling rate of 4K. Additionally, there is a wired variant, the Pulsefire Saga, which weighs 69 grams and offers an 8K polling rate. Both are set to launch in March 2025 priced at $119 and $79, respectively.
Keychron K2 HE mechanical keyboard
Hall effect keyboards are rapidly becoming trendy, so I wasn’t surprised to observe Keychron expanding its HE model range at CES 2025.
Among the most striking of the group is the Keychron K2 HE. The Special Edition variant appears particularly chic, showcasing a matte black casing with rosewood trim. It exhibits the sleek, minimalist design that Keychron is recognized for, yet the wooden details offer a distinct, appealing accent.
Although Keychron keyboards may not be specifically designed for gaming, with magnetic switches being integrated into an increasing number of mainstream keyboards, that distinction is becoming vaguer each year.
The Keychron K2 HE might be an excellent option for someone seeking a keyboard that can match the pace of intense games without resembling a conventional gaming keyboard (picture clichéd tech typefaces and abundant RGB lighting). Additionally, as a Keychron product, the K2 HE will likely deliver superior sound quality compared to most gaming keyboards.
Cherry XTRFY MX 8.3 TKL gaming keyboard
I recognize Cherry primarily for its mechanical keyboard switches, but it also manufacturers its own keyboards, including the new Cherry XTRFY MX 8.3 TKL gaming keyboard. This elegant keyboard highlights a refined design with a uniquely rounded upper edge. It additionally features a knob and a mini display along with complete RGB backlighting and a gasket structure. To top it off, it boasts an 8K polling rate.
With all these attributes, the XTRFY MX 8.3 TKL is hard to overlook. It will face strong competition, but if its specifications indicate anything, it could be a strong competitor for our best gaming keyboards list.
MSI Strike 700 and Forge GK600 gaming keyboards
The MSI Strike 700 could very well be the keyboard that excites me the most this year. It boasts a more elegant design compared to what I’ve observed from most other prominent gaming manufacturers, while still retaining a hint of a cyberpunk aesthetic that distinctly represents MSI. The blue, white, and indigo keycaps are visually appealing and seem to follow XDA or MDA profiles, both of which I greatly appreciate.
MSI appears to be welcoming the keyboard enthusiast community with this model, too. The Strike 700 is entirely hot-swappable and includes a gasket-mounted structure with several sound-dampening layers.
The Strike 700 isn’t the only recent MSI keyboard influenced by the keyboard enthusiast market. MSI also introduced the Forge GK600 TKL at CES 2025, and it equally looks impressive. It’s available in two color options, “sky” blue and “violet” (which resembles pink). Each model is equipped with KTT HiFi linear switches, a surprising addition for a gaming keyboard. Similar to the Strike 700, the Forge GK600 TKL is completely hot-swappable and gasket-mounted.
I’m enthusiastic about seeing gaming keyboards evolve beyond simple matte-black designs, so I will be closely monitoring the release of both of these innovative keyboards from MSI.
Razer Iskur V2 X gaming chair
Among my top gaming accessories that I reviewed last year was the Noblechairs Epic Compact, which continues to be my preferred gaming chair. While I truly enjoy the Epic Compact, as a vertically challenged gamer, I always search for new gaming chairs that have low minimum seat heights. That’s why I’m cautiously hopeful about trying Razer’s latest gaming chair, the Iskur V2 X.
The Iskur V2 X presents a more economical successor to the original Iskur V2, selling at a reasonable $299. That’s nearly half the cost of my Epic Compact and even lower than the Razer Enki X, another budget-friendly gaming chair.
The Iskur features a sleeker, more cushioned design compared to the Enki, but there is one characteristic I hope Razer emulated: the minimum seat height. The Enki X boasts the lowest minimum seat height of Razer’s gaming chairs at a mere 400mm or 15.7 inches, which is below my ideal minimum of 16 inches.
According to recommendations, the Iskur V2 X is suited for individuals at least 5’2″ tall, but I still remain hopeful it will have a sufficiently low seat height for me to give it a test ride. I would love to see the premium iterations of gaming chairs like the Iskur V2 X incorporate more height-inclusive designs (and not solely at the top end), although lower seat heights on budget options are a positive beginning.
