Controller
DualSense Wireless Controller
The pad in the box. Haptics and adaptive triggers are the same parts the Edge uses, so the thing GTA VI will actually be built around costs a third of the price.
Xbox Wireless Controller
The standard Xbox pad, and the longest-running battery on this page. Two AAs get up to 40 hours, which is the opposite trade to every rechargeable pro controller here.
DualSense Edge
Sony's own pro pad. Swappable sticks and back buttons, and the only pro controller that keeps full adaptive-trigger support on PS5.
Elite Wireless Controller Series 2
The long-standing Xbox pro pad: adjustable tension sticks, four paddles, and hair-trigger locks.
Headset
TV
Monitor
Capture card
Streaming equipment
Stream Deck MK.2
Fifteen physical keys for scene switches, clip markers and mutes. It runs on the streaming PC, not the console.
MV7+
A dynamic broadcast microphone over USB-C. Dynamic is the point: it hears your voice and not the room, the fan or the keyboard.
PS5 accessory
WD_BLACK SN850P 2TB
An officially licensed PS5 drive with the heatsink already fitted, so there is no compatibility guesswork.
PlayStation Portal
An 8 inch screen with a DualSense split around it, for streaming your own PS5 over Wi-Fi. It is a second screen for one console, not a handheld.
Xbox accessory
Storage Expansion Card 2TB
The only way to add full-speed storage to an Xbox Series console. No alternative exists, which is reflected in the price.
Rechargeable Battery + USB-C Cable
The one accessory every Xbox owner ends up buying. Xbox controllers still ship with AA batteries; this is the first-party fix.
