Buying guide

This page is a gaming corner rather than a tidy category, so match each device to the platform you play on. The mice split two ways: the Porodo Gaming BlackHawk 8D Wired Gaming Mouse PWM3389 Sensor with TTC Switch is the enthusiast build, with a precise wired sensor and TTC switches for crisp clicks, at the cost of a cable, while the Porodo Gaming 8D RGB Wired Mouse DPI 7200 is the simpler wired option with a high DPI figure. Keyboards divide the same way. The Gaming Keyboard (Mechanical ) with Wired and Bluetooth gives mechanical switches and the freedom to move between desktop and laptop, and the Gaming Keyboard With powerful Metal Frame is sturdier, with a chassis that will not slide across the desk. Headsets and controllers fill the rest: the Porodo Gaming PC RGB ENC Gaming Headphones and the Gaming Headphone HD Sound With RGB are PC-first, the Porodo Gaming Nintendo Switch Joycon Controller fits a Switch, and the Gaming PS4 Gamepad Controller 600mAh and the M8 Pro Video Game Consoles 2.4G Wireless Cross Border Controllers 4K cover console and TV play, with 2.4G wireless needing a dongle in a USB port. The Porodo Gaming Arkos Retro Game Console 3.5 16G+128G 3500mAh is a retro handheld-style console with a built-in battery, and the Porodo Gaming Magsafe Condensing Charger 15W w/ Type-C Port plus the RGB Gaming Mouse Pad With 15W Fast Wireless Charger handle charging, where Type G sockets and USB-C cables come in.

Frequently asked questions

Which gaming mouse should I buy, the BlackHawk 8D or the 8D RGB DPI 7200?

The BlackHawk 8D if you play for hours and notice small differences. The Porodo Gaming BlackHawk 8D Wired Gaming Mouse PWM3389 Sensor with TTC Switch pairs a precise wired sensor with TTC mechanical switches, which means clicks stay sharp and the button does not develop the mushy double-click feel of a cheap office mouse. It is wired, so it never lags and it never needs charging. The Porodo Gaming 8D RGB Wired Mouse DPI 7200 is the simpler buy: also wired, also lit, with a high DPI figure that suits a large display, but it is the option to take if you want lighting and a comfortable shape without paying for premium switches.

Should I get the Bluetooth mechanical keyboard or the metal-frame wired one?

Take the Bluetooth one if your desk is shared or if you also work on a laptop. The Gaming Keyboard (Mechanical ) with Wired and Bluetooth gives you mechanical key switches and the option to move between two machines, so you can type on the desktop and switch to the laptop without swapping cables. The Gaming Keyboard With powerful Metal Frame is the better option for a fixed desk: the metal frame is rigid, it does not flex while you type, and it will not slide around during a fast match. Both are full-size style boards, so check that you have room, and remember that a wired board draws power straight from the USB port while the Bluetooth one needs a charge.

Which controller will work with my console, and can I play on the TV?

Match the controller to the console, and check the connection type. The Gaming PS4 Gamepad Controller 600mAh is built for PlayStation-style setups and carries a 600 mAh battery for untethered play. The Porodo Gaming Nintendo Switch Joycon Controller is the one for a Switch. The M8 Pro Video Game Consoles 2.4G Wireless Cross Border Controllers 4K use a 2.4G wireless link with a USB receiver, so they suit a PC or a TV box with a free USB port, and the receiver is the part people lose. The Porodo Gaming Arkos Retro Game Console 3.5 16G+128G 3500mAh is a different purchase again: a retro handheld-style console with 16G of games, 128G of storage and a 3500 mAh battery. For a child, the LeapFrog Leapmove Motion-Based Active Learning Video Game System - Black/Green turns movement into play, with the controller being your own body.

How do I power all this in the UAE, and what are the delivery and returns terms?

Plan the charging before you buy. The Porodo Gaming Magsafe Condensing Charger 15W w/ Type-C Port and the Porodo Gaming RGB Gaming Mouse Pad With 15W Fast Wireless Charger cover the charging side, and both work best with a USB-C cable and a 230 V Type G wall socket, the three-pin type standard across the UAE, so bring an adapter if your devices shipped with a two-pin plug. RGB lighting, mechanical switches and a console running hard all generate heat, and a 45-50 °C summer afternoon in a parked car will shorten the life of a controller battery, so keep the gear indoors. The Green Lion Digital Picture Frame Touch Screen Display 10.1 Inch - Wooden is the one non-gaming item here: a 10.1-inch touchscreen digital frame that works well as a second desk display. Delivery is a flat 12 AED on orders below 150 AED and free at 150 AED and above, arriving in 1-2 business days, and you can return an unused item in its original packaging within 7 calendar days, with return shipping at your cost in most cases. Pay by card, Tabby, Tamara or cash on delivery.
