If you’ve spent any time at all as Systems Alliance Commander Shepard, trying to exterminate a race of nearly unstoppable machines called the Reapers, then you’ll be all over the Mass Effect 3-branded Chimaera 5.1 wireless gaming headset (¥19,000) and heavy duty back-lit Black Widow Ultimate keyboard (¥13,800) for the Xbox 360. Even if you’re not into intergalactic shoot outs, both the headset and keyboard, provided by popular gaming peripherals company Razer, are PC-compatible for less violent activities like Skype or writing emails (boring…). The 5.1 Dolby Surround sound headset gets you a pinpoint drop on enemies as they close in all around you—but it’s also great for crankin’ up the movie soundtrack in your rice paper-walled apato.

Available at major electronic retailers, razerzone.com, and Amazon (headset and keyboard).
