Wardogs is the hot new multiplayer shooter of the moment, haven't you heard? Probably, if you've clicked on this article. But while it's not exactly a twitch-fest, you'll still want a good gaming headset, mouse, keyboard, and mouse pad to help you succeed in this cutthroat world of mercenary mayhem.

Perhaps even a $200 flight stick, now I come to think of it. Okay, so that one's not strictly necessary, but who doesn't love a virtual helicopter? Anyway, I've rounded up nine of the very best gaming goodies from our guides into one handy post, so you can refresh your desk with the tools you need to make some sweet virtual cash.

Everything below has been thoroughly tested by the PC Gamer team, and we think highly enough of it that it's earned a place in our hallowed halls. There's the $159 Viper V4 Pro for example, the best gaming mouse we can think of right now. Too rich for your blood? Then you'll want to check out the Mchose G3 V2 Pro for $40 instead, which has earned it the best budget wireless gaming mouse spot.

The Razer BlackShark V3 is our pick for the best gaming headset, but if its $149 price tag puts you off, the $70 PowerA Lucidsound LS500 should have you covered on a budget. Or how about a couple of excellent keebs, the small-yet-highly-specced Gamakay X NaughShark NS68 (currently down to $37 for Amazon Prime members in white), and the mighty Asus ROG Strix Scope II 96 Wireless, also on discount at $129?

Or you could simply pick up an excellent mouse pad for $10. Whatever you go for, this is the best gaming gear you could stick on your desk right now. Time to let slip the dogs of war, don'tcha think?
