Mind you, I am not talking about streaming games over a mobile device. I mean playing with your console the old-fashioned way, as you would do in the mancave. Now, think about it, which is cooler, playing in your mancave all by yourself or with friends in the park or beach?

4 Rare Accessories That Changed My Gaming Culture
The rare accessories I am about to introduce to you range from redesigned controllers to screens. Some of them I knew existed but never cared to try out. On the other hand, I never knew others existed until a few weeks ago. Without boring you with my backstory, let’s dive right into this.
1. Xreal Air 2 Pro AR Glasses (Get it Here)
There are all sorts of smart glasses on the market—and some make unrealistic claims. However, this is one of the rare accessories that delivers on the promise. Imagine a situation where your glasses become your display and move with your field of view so that your neck is never strained while you are trying to stick with the traditional display.
It was more immersive than any AR glasses I have ever seen. With Xreal Air 2 Pro AR glasses, you no longer feel like you are watching the game on the screen, it feels like you are in the game. It is an experience that is better experienced than explained. It is an experience I wish every gamer would have, at least once in their lifetime.

In terms of specs, it features 3-level electrochromic dimming, allowing you to switch from total immersion where the glass blocks off everything in the background, and partial immersion where you can still see the environment around you.
At just 75g, it never at any time felt as if I was carrying a load on my face. Just plug it into your console and convert your display to 3D. It is as easy as that. This rare accessory will also come in handy when you want to binge on movies. You will need an Xreal Beam to connect this to PS5 or Xbox Series X.
The entire setup is a bit expensive. However, if you are desperate to change your gaming culture, you will find it a worthy investment. Get yours here.
2. PowerA Moga XP-Ultra multi-platform wireless controller (Get it Here)
If you are used to gaming with controllers, you may struggle when you want to play without controllers on a PC or mobile. You are not alone on this one. I hardly enjoy any game without controllers. I practiced playing on PC for a while but gave up. What if I told you that you can use one controller for your Xbox Series X|S, PC, and mobile?
The PowerA Moga XP-Ultra was designed to do just that. It eliminates the need to buy different controllers for different gaming platforms. What is even more interesting is that it has been licensed by Xbox.

This is one of the rare accessories that you never thought you need until you try it. It looks like a regular Xbox controller, except that the central portion is detachable. So, you can use it as a regular controller or detach the mini-pad and use it solo, whichever works best for you.
It comes with two remappable back buttons that can both increase accessibility and help you to carry out more complex moves in some games where you must mash different buttons together. The killer for me was the four adaptive rumble I get when I use the full controller. This is the game changer for those who want to spice up their gaming culture. Get yours here.
3. NYXI Gamecube controller for Nintendo Switch (Get it Here)
For a nostalgic gaming experience, the NYXI Gamecube controller for Nintendo Switch will shake you to your core—Gen Zs may not understand this. Besides the nostalgic experience that it brings, one use of this game controller and you will never want to have anything to do with the Joy-Con again.
One of the popular unpleasant experiences that Switch users frequently report with Joy-Con is stick drift. However, with the NYXI Gamecube controller, you will get a hall effect with precise on-screen control. Another cool feature of this controller is the remappable back buttons that allow you to customize your gameplay.

But in this case, you will get enhanced responsiveness.
This rare accessory succeeded in changing my gaming culture around Switch. That’s not all. You can slide the controllers together and use them like a regular controller. If you love your Joy-Con, then avoid the Gamecube controller because you will hate your Joy-Con afterward. Get yours here.
