Charging your controllers can be a real pain, but this nifty little charging dock is a great solution. It’ll let you charge two gamepads at once, which means that you can swap them out when needed.

We like to use a dock to charge our controllers easily between sessions, though, which makes that not even necessary.

Sometimes, though, you will need to charge your controller while you play, though, despite your best efforts.

If you’ve ever tried a racing game using a proper wheel and pedal combo like this set from Logitech, you’ll know what a huge difference it can make to your immersion and control.

It’s built for compatibility with Sony’s console, and the build quality is second to none, making it a great pick if you fancy some more driving fun.

Sony changed the game with its own back button attachment for the DualShock 4, a superb little device that plugs into the bottom of the controller.

It gives you two back paddles for added control and precision, which can be hugely helpful in multiplayer games. It’s also impressively affordable, although stock is somewhat limited now.

The PS4’s controller is really solid and comfortable, but over years of use, its thumbsticks can start to show some wear and tear.

These replacements from KontrolFreek give you some added grip and height (depending on how much you want) to get a great bonus bit of control.

If you’re getting more into fighting games, you’ll soon discover that a standard gamepad just isn’t enough for your needs.

This pad from Razer is a real doozy, with the company’s trademark jazzy finish and sky-high build quality coming together to make for an excellent proposition.

It doesn’t come cheap, but a tool that could be used all the way to up to professional levels is worth the price of entry.
