Every week, the Men’s Folio Team shares the latest tech items that they desire, not limiting to whether these gadgets will actually end up in their possession. This week, it’s all about gaming devices and accessories.
Planning for year-end parties means finding activities to keep our guests entertained and busy when food is not the main event. Gaming devices have become more and more inclusive for group gatherings thanks to the pandemic and the rise of multiplayer games in general, so look on for a collation of what to get, beyond stuffing them with food and wine for good measure.

Asaph Low, Managing Editor: Sony PlayStation 5
I’m going to be boring and recommend the PlayStation 5 because I missed out on PlayStation 4 deliberately. Unfortunately, stock replenishments are still slow, so I can afford to wait a little longer.
Manfred Lu, Senior Fashion Stylist and Writer: Razer Kitty Ear USB Headset with Chroma
There isn’t anything more I’d rather need now than a headset. So, why not a wayward one?
