Gift guide / WoW: Forever
If you are buying a Christmas gift for a husband or boyfriend who plays MMOs, start with the setup he already uses. These are familiar picks from our guides, grouped loosely by gift size; the groupings are not current price promises.

Take a quiet look at the setup he already uses. A model name on the underside of a mouse or keyboard, a device name in its settings, and the game on screen can narrow the field. Notice what is already working, what looks worn, and what he reaches for. If you cannot identify the exact device or preference, avoid replacing it.
A monitor, chair, or other replacement peripheral is personal: check the existing setup, desk space, fit, connections, and preferred layout first. A gift should fit around what he has, not require him to rebuild it.
A desk mic with USB and XLR connections, for someone who wants a separate microphone rather than a headset mic. Skip it if he already likes his mic or would rather keep his desk clear.

Its fixed 12-button thumb grid suits someone who already wants more mouse buttons and has a map for them. Skip it if he prefers a simple mouse or you are unsure whether that layout fits his hand.

This open-back headset has an attached boom mic. It lets room sound in, so skip it if he needs more isolation, wants wireless, or plays beside a noisy room.

A tenkeyless keyboard for someone who wants that layout; SteelSeries lists adjustable actuation for this model. Skip it if he relies on a number pad or is happy with his current keyboard.

A 34-inch, 21:9 IPS monitor for someone who wants a wider display and has room for one. Skip it if you have not checked his desk, current monitor, connections, and preferred screen layout. Do not replace a display blind.
