What is a good gift for a brother who games?

An extra controller or a comfortable headset is almost always useful. Double-check his console first, and consider whether he plays online and would appreciate a good microphone.

Are sim racing setups worth it as a gift?

They can be a standout gift for someone who plays racing games regularly. Confirm compatibility with his system and make sure he has a desk or stand that can hold a wheel.

What do you get a brother who already has a gaming console?

Build around it. Quality headphones, a speaker for his room or a spare controller for guests all add to what he owns without doubling up on anything.

How to choose for your brother

Confirm which console or platform he uses before buying controllers, games or headsets, since many accessories only work with one system.
Look at what's missing from his setup, such as a second controller, a decent speaker or a comfortable headset with a clear mic.
If he's into racing games, check that a wheel and pedal set is compatible with his console and fits his desk or space.
For a brother who works out at home, a doorway pull up bar is compact, but measure his door frame first.

Usually safe to skip

Accessories for the wrong console are a common miss and often a hassle to exchange.
Joke gadgets tend to get a laugh and then sit in a drawer.
Big fitness equipment rarely fits a small apartment or a shared room.
