Did you get any awesome gaming gear this holiday season — a PS4 or Xbox One under your tree? Or maybe Aunt Marge and Grandpa Smithers made your day with a pile of gift cards instead. Regardless of your platform of preference

Today, let’s take a look at eight of the very best ways to enhance your time spent gaming in 2015. Whether you have $5 or $500 to spend, there’s something here for everyone. Even if you’re still playing on a PS3 or Xbox 360, you’re still bound to find something here that catches your eye.

Now, let’s jump in, and find the perfect accessory to fit your needs.

I like the DualShock 4 a lot, but my rubber grips are falling apart one measly year into the PS4’s lifespan. Instead of buying a new controller or tearing up my thumbs on plastic, I invested in some analog stick covers for less than $5. They work like a charm, and fit just about any controller on the market. I whole-heartedly recommend picking up a few of these for any well-loved controller in your life — especially the controllers for older consoles.

Recently, I wrote up a post showing off how to capture and stream video from the PS4. Sony’s built-in solution is nothing to sneeze at, but you’re definitely going to want some dedicated gear if you want to output high-quality video. Personally, I use Elgato’s Game Capture HD60 for 1080p60 game capture, and it works seamlessly. It will work with any unencrypted HDMI signal, so Xbox One and Xbox 360 users can join in the fun as well. PS3 and legacy console users should stick with the older Game Capture HD for the analog ports, though.

Remote Play has been an incredible bullet point for the PS4, and it’s the number one reason why I continue to invest in Sony’s ecosystem. With a $80 PlayStation TV or $200Vita, you can play full-fledged console games wherever you are. Whether you’re in front of the big screen, curled up in bed, or playing some Peggle at the office, Remote Play is worth investing in for the convenience factor alone.

If you’re playing an online multiplayer game, you need a headset. Communication is key for strategy and tactics, and nobody wants to be the only one without the ability to chat. This HyperX headset from Kingston is a superb cross-platform solution, but there are countless high-quality headsets available on every major platform. Sony’s PlayStation Gold headset is excellent for the PS4 and PS3, and Microsoft’s Xbox One headset works perfectly for voice chat — no need for Kinect.

If long load times drive you crazy, you should definitely consider installing an SSD. Regular spinning disks are still much cheaper for the time being, but SSD prices continue to plummet quickly. This 500GB SSD from Samsung is currently available for less than $240, so it’s finally practical to make the jump to solid state.

It’s easy as pie to make a storage upgrade on a PS4 and the PC, but upgrading the drive on the Xbox One requires you to void your warranty. Alternately, you can slap in an SSD in a USB 3.0 enclosure, and still see load time improvements. It all depends on how comfortable you are cracking open your console, though.

If you’re gaming on a PC, it’s definitely worth investing in a nice gaming mouse. Sure, you can get away with using a cheap-o generic mouse or a trackpad, but your experience will suffer. The Venus from UtechSmart combines incredible 16,400 DPI precision with 18 programmable buttons, and it’s only $40. Whether you’re playing a competitive first-person shooter or a participating in a 40-person raid in an MMO, this mouse will give you the edge you need.

A standard keyboard works fine for most games, but if you’re playing competitively, you’ll want every advantage you can get. The Logitech G13 gameboard offers 25 programmable keys laid out in an ergonomic design. It also sports customizable backlighting and an LCD display, so you can configure this gameboard to look and function precisely how you want it. It even stores five separate profiles, so once you set it up for your favorite games, you can easily switch on the fly.

The consoles and the PC are increasingly similar from a technical perspective, and that means a lot of crossover. Genres once considered console-exclusive are frequently seeing PC releases now, but many of them don’t control very well with a keyboard and mouse. Thankfully, it’s trivial to use a controller on the PC these days. Simply buy an Xbox One or wired Xbox 360 controller, and plug it in. Most modern games will detect the controller, and work seamlessly. With a little work, you can even use a DualShock 4 to play PC games. Whichever controller you prefer, it’s worth the investment — even for diehard PC gamers.

After all of the stress and hubbub surrounding the holidays, now is the perfect time to sit back, and play some games. Grab a new controller, upgrade your drive, or maybe just slap on some rubber grips. Now that the new year has begun, don’t you deserve a little time for yourself?
