Over 2,900 products across every platform. The first thing everyone looks for is a controller — a second pad or a replacement. Storage, headsets and charging follow.

What you actually need

  • A second controller — the purchase that changes how a console is used more than any other — it becomes a shared thing.
  • Storage — each platform wants something different: M.2 NVMe for PS5, an expansion card for Xbox Series, microSD for Switch.
  • Headsets — essential for team games and for playing late without disturbing anyone.
  • Charging — docks for two controllers — they solve the most common interruption of an evening.
  • Protection — cases for handhelds, where the screen is the vulnerable part.

Frequently asked questions

Do accessories work across consoles?
Not always. Xbox One controllers work on a Series X, but a DualShock 4 works on PS5 only for PS4 titles. Storage differs entirely by platform.
What storage does each console need?
The PS5 takes an M.2 NVMe Gen4 with a heatsink. The Xbox Series X|S takes a dedicated expansion card. The Switch takes microSD, and the Switch 2 microSD Express.
What is the first accessory worth buying?
A second controller. It turns the console into something shared, and it is the purchase with the biggest practical difference.
Do console controllers work on PC?
Xbox ones do, almost immediately. PlayStation ones also work, by cable or Bluetooth and through the distribution platform.
Do I need official accessories?
For controllers an official or recognised brand is worth it, since responsiveness matters. On cases, cables and protectors the difference is small.
How long do controller batteries last?
Usually four to six hours. A dock charging two pads solves it permanently.
Can I collect my order from the shop?
Yes, choose collection at checkout, with no shipping cost.
