Trying to find the best gaming gift for the teen gamer you know? SteelSeries has an awesome selection in just about every category you'd want, from top gaming keyboards, amazing headsets, to award-winning gaming mice.
Here are our top picks for gaming gifts for teens in your life:
Apex 9 TKL Gaming Keyboard
Power their gameplay with the speed of light. The Apex 9 TKL shines with incredible optical switches. Called OptiPoint, these utilize light detection to register keypresses 33% faster, with 0.2ms response time, and with zero debounce, versus other leading optical keyboards.
The existing switches also have toggles for actuation, either at 1.0mm or 1.5mm. This lets the user select between faster, shallower presses, or deeper and more decisive ones.
A really attractive feature of the keyboard for any teen is the swappability of the switches. This means they can upgrade or change their switches for aesthetic reasons in the future, to make their specific dream setup come true. We have some great options in our Stocking Stuffers gift guide section, too.

Arctis Nova 7 Wireless Gaming Headset
Wireless is king among teens, and the Arctis Nova 7 Wireless is the key to royalty. This stylish headset untethers its user with innovative wireless technology; it allows to be connected to two different devices at the same time. This means the user can be connected to a game with powerful 2.4GHz technology, and also Bluetooth-connected to another device, such as a phone or tablet, to listen to music, podcasts, or to take calls at the same time. It's total wireless freedom.
That's just the start with the Arctis Nova 7; even more importantly, the superior sound quality is made possible by the excellent, custom-made High Fidelity Drivers. With top-notch audio quality across the highs, mids, and bass, the Nova 7 gets even better with the SteelSeries Sonar Audio Software Suite. It enables total customization of the headset and adds powerful features such as 360° Spatial Audio, pro-grade Parametric EQ customization, and incredible noise cancellation.
It's the most comfortable headset from SteelSeries yet. With the ComfortMAX system, there are 4 ways of adjusting the headset, which is lightweight and features a PVD-coated steel headband. The AirWeave memory foam cushion earcups are breathable and comfortable, and a stretch overhead band eases tension even over long sessions. The microphone also completely retracts for a sleek look, great when taking the headset on the go with a phone.
