PC Gamer Hardware Awards_ The best of the rest of 2023

Meta Quest 3
The new and improved version of our favourite VR headset, the Quest 3 comes with a few major improvements.

If you're looking at this headset from a purely PC gamer perspective, meaning you'll be using it tethered somehow to your PC, then you'll care most about the new, higher resolution panels. This headset delivers 2064 x 2208, which is a decent improvement on the already pretty good Quest 2.

The Quest 3 is also quite a bit smaller for its pancake lenses. This stack of compact lenses offers a wider FoV than the Quest 2, and it allows the headset to shrink quite drastically in size so it doesn't stick out from your face anywhere near as much.

For non-PC users or anyone looking to use it as a standalone design, the Quest 3 also offers a better XR2 processor, more RAM, and new AR features through better cameras.

Corsair TC100 Relaxed
A gaming chair. Yes, it might seem bland or boring next to a VR headset that gobbled up billions in development, but you have to understand something: a cheap gaming chair that's actually good is a rare thing. A rare thing indeed.

You'll find an overwhelming number huc99สล็อตฟรี of cheap chairs on the internet, often from brands you've never heard of. I've come into contact with a few of them, and I'm usually left reeling at the quality. This Corsair, however, is cheap and actually built well.

It might not come with the high-end features of some other premium chairs, and it doesn't have any gimmicks, but it's a solid, comfy, and reliable chair from a reputable brand. It's tough to find that, it really is.

Thrustmaster T128
The T128 delivers a genuinely great feeling wheel that redefines what a budget-friendly racing setup should look like.

The wheel portion shares a surprising amount with this wheel's more expensive sibling, the T248. The hybrid belt + geared drive offers a lot dafabet of force feedback in this price range, and it's accurate enough to help you build up genuine race craft.

The only let down are the pedals, which are quite measly. There's only two of them, and they're really not much fun, but you can upgrade to another set in the Thrustmaster lineup easily enough. Personally, I'd put up with them as long as I could while saving up for the much improved T3PM.
