Want that flashy RGB Keyboard and Kraken headphones but don’t have the budget for it? In this article, we bring you the best gaming accessories for every budget.
Best gaming accessories under ₹5,000
- Cosmic Byte Solar Gaming Essentials Combo (₹2,999)
- Redgear Pro Wireless gamepad (₹1,299)
A bit of a personal affection with these.
The Cosmic Byte Solar Gaming Essentials combo contains an RGB Backlit keyboard, headphones, mouse and mousepad. Basically everything you need to jump in to ‘Gamer’ territory.
What’s great about this combo is the quality. The keyboard is membrane type, of course, but provides up to 7-key anti-ghosting. The mouse is also really good with DPI up to 2700. The headphones get a pass with good sound and average mic. Oh, and the included mousepad has RBG lighting effects too.
All this is available for only about ₹2,999 on Amazon.in. If you’re looking to spec out your new gamer world and are low on cash, this is the best you can get.
The Redgear Pro Wireless gamepad is as good as it gets. Don’t be fooled by the INR 1299 price tag. This controller is on par with the top of the line Xbox and PS controllers.

Best gaming accessories under ₹10,000
- Redgear MK881 Mechanical Keyboard (₹2,995)
- Logitech G300s (₹1,600)
- Kotion Each G5200 (₹4,299)
- Redgear Pro Wireless gamepad (₹1,299)
Personally speaking, this is my current gaming setup. Though I went a little overboard and bought a Dragon War GP-001 mouse pad (₹350) too.
The MK881 keyboard offers great value for the money. The switches are Kailh Blue, a Chinese clone of the Cherry MX blue switches but perform identically. There are custom lighting profiles, eight preset light modes, metal build and all that good stuff.
The Logitech G300s Mouse is as good as it gets in this price range. You get RGB lighting, macros, game-specific profiles and up to 3200 DPI.
The Kotion Each G5200 is a USB headset with 7.1 surround sound and haptic feedback. The headphone vibrates whenever there’s an explosion or heavy bass. The 7.1 surround is impressive. The USB input means that it can be used with virtually anything or any PC with or without a sound card.
The Redgear Pro Wireless, as always, beats every other controller in my experience.

Best gaming accessories under ₹15,000

- Logitech G402 Hyperion Fury Mouse (₹2,199)
- Razer Kraken Pro V2 (₹4,969)
- Redgear Pro Wireless gamepad (₹1,299)
- Cosmic Byte Volcano RGB Mousepad (₹1,099)
At this price point, you’re now entering the premium range.
Logitech G413 Mechanical Keyboard
There isn’t a lot to be said for these peripherals. The keyboard and mouse are both an upgrade regarding build quality and performance. The Razer Kraken Pro V2 is just as good as gaming headphones get, with an excellent mic. I’ve already talked enough about the Redgear Pro Wireless.
The highlight here is the Cosmic Byte Volcano RGB Mousepad. For just around a 1000 bucks you get an awesome fabric mouse pad that has a 7 colour RGB underglow built in. I mean, one can never have enough RGB right?

Best gaming accessories under ₹20,000
- Razor BlackWidow X Mechanical Keyboard (₹6,990)
- Razor Naga Chroma Gaming mouse (₹6,028)
- Corsair HS50 gaming headphones (₹4,815)
- Redgear Pro Wireless gamepad (₹1,299)
Sort of mid-premium range here.
The Razor Keyboard and mouse combo are probably the best in the world. Oh, and you get to sync the lighting on both the peripherals.
The headphones also offer a great value for money. You get fantastic sound along with full RGB and a beautiful design.
The gamepad, as usual, is still the Redgear Pro Wireless.

- Logitech g502 Proteus Gaming mouse (₹6,294)
- Xbox One Wireless controller (₹4,350)
- SteelSeries Arctic 5 Headphones (₹8,000)
At this point, there’s nothing but the best.
This combination works out in almost perfect sync due to the high amount of customizability these peripherals offer. From the choice of switches on the keyboard to toning down the mouse to the exact weight that you like, this setup is truly yours.
The RBG on all these peripherals can be customised to any aura you like. They beat everything else in performance too.
