If your boyfriend is a hardcore gamer, what better present to give him this Valentine’s day than something related to his hobby? Care to know what those things are? Here’s a list of the perfect Valentine’s gifts for your gamer boyfriend:
Gaming Mouse
Before you get one, know what type of games your boyfriend play. There are several kinds of gaming mouse in the market. If he loves playing FPS or first-person shooting games like Overwatch, Call of Duty, CS: Global Offensive, and Team Fortress, he’ll love a new FPS mouse. It is a mouse optimized for FPS play and features its own “sniper button.” There is also an MMO mouse for Warcraft and Star Wars: Old Republic players, and an RTS mouse for League of Legends and DotA players. However, if you’re not sure what type of mouse to buy, stick with an all-purpose gaming mouse.
Steam Cards
So you really want to make him happy this Valentine’s Day? Then give him Steam Gift Cards. These cards are used to purchase games on Steam, the biggest online gaming library. They are available in denominations of $20, $50, and $100. Get him to download the latest online games and in-game purchases such as costumes, weapons, gears, boosts, or cards. We guarantee that he’ll love this gift!

VR Gear
Virtual reality is all the rage. Thanks to the development of virtual reality headgear, it brought gamers a new level of gaming experience. Right now, there are two lead gaming headgears for PC — Oculus Rift, and HTC Vive. The Oculus Rift pioneered the development of these virtual reality headsets and has an introductory price of $599 in the market. HTC Vive, on the other hand, is the VR headset developed by HTC and Valve Corporation. That’s why it is mostly used by Steam users. Its price is currently set at $799.
Controller
Who says PC gamers don’t need a controller? Gone are the days when gamers thought controllers are only meant to be used on PlayStation and XBox console. Now, most prefer to use gamepads or console controllers to be able to play smoothly, especially when playing FPS, RPG, racing games and sports games. I’m sure he’ll appreciate it if he receives a brand new gaming controller this day of love.
Gaming Headset
Sounds is a crucial part of gaming. It adds up to the whole gaming experience, and SFX or Sound Effects do matter. It is one of the key elements that can distinguish a good game from a bad one. Although most PCs have speakers, gamers prefer the immersion gaming headset can bring to the game because it helps you clearly hear the sound design. Most RTS and FPS co-op players also prefer using gaming headset because of its built-in microphones, allowing them to easily communicate with their co-players.
And lastly, don’t forget bags of Doritos and Dr. Pepper!
