Surprise Your Gamer Dad With These Awesome Gaming Gifts This Father’s Day
Gamer dads tend to be easier to shop for than most, which can make Father's Day a whole lot simpler.
They usually have a game or two on their wish lists, and even when they don't, many are happy with T-shirts and merch repping their very favorite games. Of course, sometimes you don't just want to get stuff that'll remind them of their beloved titles, but that will improve their gaming experience, too. That's why we've collected a list of some of the best gaming gifts around to impress your gamer dad this holiday.
E-WIN Knight Series Ergonomic Gaming Chair: $229
No matter how your dad games, a great gamer chair is a must-have accessory that he can wheel in front of the TV or to his PC (and even keep it there as an office chair when he's not invested in a game). E-WIN's Knight Series Ergonomic Gaming Chairs are a great option because they're more affordable than most while looking sleek in various color schemes. Most importantly, they're comfy and supportive, with a foam head pillow and lumbar cushion to keep him going through long gaming sessions.

It's designed specifically so it'll never scratch the Switch or prevent airflow, and this Diablo Red Edition is eye-catching while also coming with RYZE Performance Thumb Grips to make it even comfier to play.

PS5 DualSense Charging Station: $29.99
Dads who love their PlayStation 5s will know that 12 to 15 hours of battery life on their DualSense controllers during gaming can feel like nothing when he's deep in the game. Plugging and unplugging via USB cable can be tedious, and there's only one front USB port, which is why we vastly prefer charging with the official DualSense Charging Station. It can wirelessly charge up to two controllers at a time and is small and sleek when it's not in use, making it a win-win.

PlayStation Icons Lights: $26.95
Few symbols are more iconic and instantly recognizable than PlayStation's triangle, circle, X and square, and if your dad's an OG PlayStation devotee, get him these cool lights to rep his love and make his gamer setup twice as cool.
