To get the most out of the game console, you should purchase additional accessories. They will expand the gaming experience and make the games more comfortable.

I have been working as a manager of an online store of game consoles for seven years now, and I know almost everything about consoles and add-ons to them. I'll tell you what accessories for consoles are and which ones are worth buying.

For complete control over the game - improved gamepads

A wireless controller is not only about convenience and freedom of movement around the room. With its help, you can more accurately control all game actions, minimize unsuccessful jumps and annoying misses of characters since conveniently located buttons will instantly respond to your presses.

The creators of the most famous consoles are constantly improving their gamepads and equipping them with new useful features.

The Xbox One manufacturer has equipped the Microsoft Xbox One S / X Wireless Controller with pulse triggers. They provide instant feedback in vibration, so the user experiences collisions, shaking when moving, and recoil when shooting - the game's realism will increase.

This controller can be used with Xbox One, computers, and tablets. All you need is an Xbox Wireless Adapter running Windows 10. A Bluetooth® interface provides interoperability. The 3.5mm jack allows you to connect to any gaming headset as long as it is compatible with the device.

The Xbox One controller is highly ergonomic. It is convenient to hold it in the hands of both a child and an adult. Two AA batteries are hidden in the case, so the grips are more comfortable.

The Sony PlayStation 5 Dual Sense Wireless Controller is an updated version of the popular PlayStation controller. The manufacturer has improved the mounting of the board, buttons, and vibration motors. The rest of the gamepad pleases with the same functions as its predecessor. 

It is equipped with powerful vibration motors, a touch panel, and motion sensors, allowing you to immerse yourself in the gameplay for several hours. The ergonomics of the joystick will not let you get tired, and the precise control will ensure the best results in the game.

The producers have not forgotten about social networks either. The Share button allows you to share your achievements, and the mono speaker and headset jack are for communication while playing online.

The Nintendo Switch Pro Controller is rated for 40 hours of continuous offline play. The A, B, X, Y buttons are quite large and spaced apart - you won't press one instead of the other.

Another interesting option for the Nintendo Switch is the Joy-Con gamepad. This controller can be divided into two independent parts. Each is equipped with an accelerometer, gyroscope, vibration motor and retains all its functions when separated.

For surround sound of the game - a good headset

The sound in the game is one of the integral components. To play at any time and not disturb others, stream and communicate with game partners, you need a headset. Leading console manufacturers produce these devices.

For Xbox One, you can buy the Xbox One Stereo Headset. It will provide a deep, clear sound. Power is supplied via a USB cable from an Xbox One controller. The microphone transmits speech with a high degree of accuracy. The ear cushions fit snugly around your ears but don't put pressure on them, so you can comfortably spend several hours in the headphones. This headset will work with other consoles as well.

Wireless headphones Sony Gold Wireless Stereo Headset 7.1 will not let the enemies catch you by surprise. Surround sound will convey the steps of the quietest opponents. A hidden dual microphone with noise-canceling lets your teammates hear your voice without the slightest distortion.

Headphones will allow you to hear sounds in their entire range. They are useful for those who like to play at night, make streams, communicates with other players right during the game.

For convenient charging of gamepads - charging stations.

Most gamepads operate on both batteries and rechargeable batteries. To quickly charge your gamepads, you should buy a charging station: it will save on disposable batteries.

The Play and Charge Kit provides 35 hours of battery life for Xbox controllers. The main plus of this model: you can charge your gamepad while playing.

For Sony gamepads, you can buy the Dualshock 4 Charging Station. It can energize two PlayStation 4 gamepads at once. It doesn't matter if the console is turned on. Boost Charge helps you get back to play as soon as possible.

Console storage - special stands

To make the set-top box and accessories look neat and take up a minimum of space, manufacturers offer special stands. Each of them can replace a whole set of accessories.

The Multi-Functional Stand for PlayStation 4 features mini coolers to keep your console from overheating while gaming. The charging station is designed for one DualShock 4 controller or two PS Move controllers. You can place a virtual reality helmet on the upper platform and in the side niche - an adapter for it and wires.

The Multi-Function Charging Stand for Xbox One is built for the true gamer. Everything is there: a charging station, 12 slots for games, a holder in which the console can be placed vertically. The stand provides cooling for the game console.

The cooling pad can hold the console itself and two gamepads at the same time. This is very convenient: not a single element of the set-top box will lie on the floor near the sofa.

What accessories for a game console will come in handy

1. Wireless gamepad. Provides convenience, accuracy, and realism of the game. Depending on which console you own, I recommend buying a Microsoft Xbox One S / X Wireless Controller or a Sony DualShock 4 Wireless Controller (v2). Nintendo Switch owners can choose between the Nintendo Switch Pro Controller and the  Joy-Con.
2. Headphones. A good headset will make it possible to enjoy the sound and catch the enemy's approach in time. I recommend opting for  Xbox One Stereo Headset or Sony Gold Wireless Stereo Headset 7.1.
3. Charging station for gamepads. To not waste money on disposable batteries, you need to charge the gamepads using special devices. Users speak well of the Play and Charge Kit and the Dualshock 4 Charging Station.
4. Stand. You can extend the lifespan of your consoles by using special stands. These stands are usually equipped with coolers and charging stations. It is convenient because all the elements of the set-top box are close at hand and take up little space. I recommend paying attention to the  Multi-Functional Stand for PlayStation 4 and  Multi-Function Charging Stand for Xbox One.
