Best Gaming Accessories for Streamers 2025

Elevate your audio game with the MV7X, a microphone that shines through its excellent voice isolation technology, ranking it at a 7/10. Although it requires an XLR cable and audio interface, raising the entry cost for beginners, its sound quality matches that of higher-end models. Without on-device gain or mute adjustments, it's less user-friendly for novices, but for those with existing audio equipment, it provides a sophisticated touch to any streaming setup.

Elevate your audio setup with the Wave:3 microphone, blending style with function for a 7.5/10 experience. It impresses with its excellent audio quality and robust build, complemented by a built-in limiter for distortion-free streaming. Although the mute button placement might occasionally frustrate, this microphone seamlessly integrates with Elgato's software suite, making it a top pick for those seeking a blend of performance and aesthetic appeal in their streaming toolkit.

Get impressive audio for your budget with the Razer Seiren V3 Mini, earning a solid 7/10 score. Its exceptional audio clarity outshines many of its competitors at this price point, although being USB-only might limit flexibility if you're expanding your audio gear. While sensitivity to plosives is a potential issue, its compact design and easy setup are perfect for solo streamers or those new to enhancing their streaming audio.

The FIFINE AmpliGame AM8 microphone offers a great balance of versatility and price with USB and XLR connectivity. Our review found its RGB lighting and zero-latency monitoring appealing, although noise handling isn't the best in chaotic spaces. Despite small usability issues, like hard-to-see volume markings, its budget-friendly price and solid sound quality earn it an 8/10, making it ideal for streamers looking to upgrade their audio setup.

Elevate your audio game with the HyperX QuadCast S, scoring 8.5/10 for its remarkable sound quality and stunning RGB lighting. We appreciated the tap-to-mute sensor and multiple polar patterns, though its build feels less premium. Perfect for streamers seeking both functionality and aesthetic appeal, it's a great choice for those wanting high-quality audio with an eye-catching design, despite some software limitations.

During our review, the Logitech Yeti GX delivered strong background-noise rejection and shockingly clean keyboard isolation, landing a 7/10 overall. Onboard limiter and auto-gain help prevent clipping during hype moments, and the LIGHTSYNC RGB looks great in themed rigs. However, there's no zero-latency monitoring via headphone jack, G Hub can glitch, and pushing gain too high introduces harshness. At $169.99, it's a solid pick if you prioritize noise control, though the Elgato Wave:3 (7.5/10) edged it in overall polish.

For streamers seeking straightforward audio solutions, the DGM20S Gamerwave USB Microphone shines in usability with its plug-and-play design and customizable RGB lighting. It delivers clear sound but scored 6/10 due to its limited volume output and build quality. Despite these challenges, it's a good entry-level choice providing essential microphone capabilities for those just starting their streaming journey.

For plug-and-play clarity, the HyperX QuadCast 2 delivered impressively clean vocals with solid background-noise rejection in cardioid during our review. USB-C setup is painless, and the included adapter made mounting to boom arms like the Rode PSA1+ quick, helping it earn a 7.5/10. That said, the base model’s red-only lighting and relatively limited software tuning trail some competitors, and the $149.99 price isn’t ideal for tight budgets. If you want strong sound without tinkering, it’s a reliable pick; power users may prefer mics with deeper EQ and RGB customization.

The Logitech Webcam is a solid choice for streamers looking for reliable 1080p HD quality. It offers crisp image performance, even though its built-in stereo microphone might prompt the need for an external solution for professional-grade audio. Its fixed 78-degree FOV serves well for close-up shots, though it could limit those wanting more background included. If you're upgrading from integrated webcam solutions, this device's consistent color reproduction and lighting boost make it a smart step forward.

In our tests, the Insta360 Link shone with exceptional 4K video quality and vibrant color reproduction, making it a top contender for streamers seeking outstanding visuals. Its fully motorized swivel adds convenience, though you'll want to pair it with an external mic due to its overly processed built-in audio. While it's on the pricier side and runs hot with extended use, its sharpness and excellent autofocus are undeniable benefits, earning it an 8.5/10 score.

During our review, the Razer Kiyo Pro Ultra impressed with its top-notch 4K video quality and vivid imaging. Despite its premium price and subpar built-in microphone, it offers an unrivaled visual experience for professional creators. It may not be the highest-scoring webcam, with a 7.5/10 rating, but for those prioritizing exceptional image clarity, it's a worthy investment.

In our testing, Elgato's Facecam 4K set the bar for stream webcams, scoring 9.5/10 with razor-sharp 4K/60 capture and onboard memory that carries your settings between PCs for $199.99. The 49mm filter mount lets you add CPL or diffusion for cinematic looks, and lighting compatibility plays nicely with RGB-driven setups. You'll need an external mic, and the fixed f/4.0 aperture benefits from a key light like the Godox ES45. Versus the Logitech StreamCam's 1080p, this is our best webcam option for 2025.

The Logitech MX Brio 960 brings native 4K/30 and 1080p/60 plus a dual beamforming mic array, privacy shutter, and sturdy aluminum build. In our testing, however, the image looked a bit flatter and less detailed than top 4K rivals, and there’s no Windows Hello—odd at $199.99. It lands at 6/10 in this guide: more dependable than the AVerMedia PW515 (4.5/10), but outclassed by standouts like the OBSBOT Tiny 2 Lite (8.5/10). A fine all-rounder if you value build and privacy, just not the best value for pure image quality.

On paper, the AVerMedia PW515 checks boxes with native 4K and a smooth 1080p60 option, plus basic dual mics. In our testing, though, persistent noise in low light—and even some well-lit scenes—made the image look grainier than we expect at $199.99. Requiring AVerMedia software and an account slows setup, and the flimsy monitor clip can slip on certain displays. With a 4.5/10, it trails top picks like the OBSBOT Tiny 2 Lite (8.5/10); skip it unless you’re locked into the ecosystem.

Illuminate your creativity with the Godox ES45 LED Light Panel, offering customizable lighting options that scored an 8/10 during our tests. Its adjustable brightness and color temperature create tailored lighting environments, perfect for enhancing skin tones. This AC-powered-only option is ideal for static setups, though less suited for portable needs. Despite its occasional remote responsiveness issues, its detachable magnetic controller allows for easy, real-time adjustments to suit your streaming preferences.

Elevate your streaming visuals with the Play Gradient Lightstrip, offering immersive ambient lighting. Our experience shows it's easy to install and integrates seamlessly with the Philips Hue system, aligning perfectly with your content's vibe. Scoring 7/10, the cost may be high and setup requires additional accessories, but it's an amazing way to add dynamic lighting effects to any streaming space.

Mobile streamers will love the Logitech Litra Glow’s compact, monitor-mounted design for quick setup and easy travel. In our testing, its adjustable color temperature, brightness, and G Hub presets let us nail a look fast, earning it a 6.5/10. But the small emitter can feel harsh and fatiguing, and G Hub occasionally failed to recognize the light. At $69.99, it’s a handy laptop or fill light; for a softer key, consider the Litra Beam (8/10) or other panel-style options.

For soft key light without a bulky panel, the Logitech G Litra Beam impressed us with even illumination and a wide 2700–6500K range. Flexible mounting and an adjustable arm made placement beside or above our camera simple, and G Hub helped fine-tune scenes—earning an 8/10 that tops the Elgato Key Light’s 6.5/10. Note it may need a 5V 1.4A power brick for max brightness, and we saw occasional G Hub/Bluetooth dropouts. The plastic stand isn’t premium, but at $119.99 it’s a strong value for streamers seeking soft, consistent light.

With a sturdy build and sleek design, the Key Light Solo impresses, but our review found its connectivity issues and high price to be obstacles. Scoring 6.5/10, it offers great lighting features and adjustability, however, the buggy Wi-Fi interface can be frustrating. Although it provides professional-grade illumination to enhance your stream's visual appeal, other options might provide better value for those on a tighter budget. Perfect if style is paramount, but not the top pick for economical choices.

The Elgato Wave Mic Arm LP looks great on camera, keeping the arm below your shoulder line so your monitors stay unobstructed. We liked the magnetic cable routing and 2 kg load rating, but in testing the arm could sag under heavier mics if not tuned and cleaned, and the low-profile mount can block bottom ports. Plastic covers and joints also show wear on some units over time. At 5/10 and $99.99, it’s fine for space-limited desks, but the Rode PSA1+ (9.5/10) is the safer long-term bet.

The TC100 Gaming Chair by CORSAIR offers comfort and affordability, rated at 6/10 for those starting out. With a wide seat and soft cushioning, comfort is assured over long gaming or streaming sessions. Though its firm headrest cushion might not suit everyone, and its color options are limited, it’s a sensible choice for those prioritizing budget-friendly comfort, though attention to smooth caster movement might be needed with varied flooring.

If you want a boom arm you won’t outgrow, the Rode PSA1+ earned a stellar 9.5/10 in our testing. It supports a broad 94 g to 1.2 kg payload range, moves quietly thanks to neoprene sleeves, and keeps cables tidy with integrated management—ideal for a clean frame. Setup is quick out of the box, and it stayed put during long sessions. While pricier than some rivals and occasionally finicky with very thick cables or clamp tension, the build quality and stability are worth it for serious streamers.

For streamers prioritizing high-resolution quality, the 4K X capture card scores an impressive 9.5/10 in our testing. Its support for 4K resolution at 144Hz with HDR10 makes it a top-tier choice for exceptional visual standards, though its lightweight design might require careful cable management. While the included single HDMI cable requires an additional purchase for a complete setup, its compact nature and compatibility with multiple platforms make it an essential addition to a high-quality streaming arsenal.

The Elgato HD60 X, scoring 6.5/10, is a fantastic option for those focusing on 1080p60 capture with ultra-low latency. Ideal for streaming smooth and high-quality content, its plug-and-play setup simplifies the process. However, lacking 4K support makes it less appealing for top-tier streamers aiming for the highest resolution. It’s a great start for those prioritizing ease of use and immediate streaming without the complexity of high-end 4K devices.

We wanted to love the NZXT Signal 4K30 for its $109.98 price and true 4K passthrough that keeps gameplay latency low, but it only earned 4.5/10 in our testing. While it captures up to 4K30 and plays nicely with OBS and Streamlabs, we encountered intermittent audio dropouts and occasional stuttering or pixelation under load. Some setups also struggled to expose full advertised resolutions. Compared with Elgato's HD60 X (6.5/10) and our 4K X pick (9.5/10), its reliability just isn't there for streamers.

With a strong 9/10 score, the AVerMedia Live Gamer Ultra 2.1 capture card excels with its next-gen HDMI 2.1 tech for 4K60 recording and 4K144 passthrough. Ideal for professional streamers, its built-in features support cutting-edge gaming visuals, though configuration for high resolutions can be challenging. Perfect for those demanding high-quality capture and seamless game performance, it ensures a superior streaming experience.

The Razer Ripsaw X, scoring a solid 8/10 in our tests, offers ease with its plug-and-play setup, ensuring a smooth 4K streaming experience. Ideal for keeping your setup uncluttered, its compact size is a plus, although expect some warmth during extended use. While it excels in high-quality streaming, occasional freezing and limited frame rates at 4K are worth noting. For creators wanting strong performance in a capture card, this is a smart, no-fuss option.

The AVerMedia Live Gamer 2 Plus captures a great score of 9/10 for its effortless streaming capabilities, particularly with 4K passthrough and compact portability. Perfect for mobile content creation, its PC-Free Mode adds versatility in recording. Our experience shows minor drawbacks like a lack of HDR passthrough and slight latency due to USB 2.0. Nonetheless, its price-to-value ratio makes it a standout option for those seeking flexibility and quality streaming on the go.

For workflow control, the Stream Deck MK.2 proved a sweet spot in our review, earning 8.5/10 for its 15 customizable LCD keys and deep OBS/Twitch integration. We found the detachable USB-C cable and interchangeable faceplate handy for flexible setups, and it can even trigger lighting scenes in compatible ecosystems. Ergonomic support is present, but the fixed-angle stand isn't adjustable; it can slide on slick desks, and newcomers face a learning curve. At $129.99, it's a high-value upgrade for streamers refining their production flow.
