2022 Christmas Gadget Buying Guide

PowerA MOGA XP5-X

Mobile gaming is still largely a pile of hot trash, but honestly, it does seem to be improving drastically in recent years. More PC indie titles like Papers Please, Stardew Valley and Terraria are easily available now. Xbox has pushed Game Pass to mobile, allowing you to stream Xbox titles, and emulators like AetherSX2 have been allowing me to play PlayStation 2 games on my phone. However, ergonomics aren’t great for gaming on a touchscreen.

That’s where the PowerA MOGA XP5-X comes into play, literally. It’s a fantastic quality controller, much higher quality than I expected! It features button mapping, a built-in rechargeable battery, wireless Bluetooth connectivity, and most importantly of all, it has a removable mobile phone clip. The internal 3000 mAh battery can even be used as a powerbank to charge your phone, meaning you can game for even longer!

“MOGA XP5-X Plus Bluetooth Controller delivers the versatility to play games today and tomorrow on Android mobile, tablet or PC wherever and however you like. Play Xbox games from the cloud with the familiarity of an Xbox-style controller. Includes detachable phone clip, integrated Power Bank and mappable Advanced Gaming Buttons, plus cables to charge or play in wired mode.” – Xbox.com

PowerA PlayStation Ultra Certified HDMI Cable

The prevalence of low-quality and out right fake HDMI cables is still a big problem. I have had plenty over the years that failed within the first year, or didn’t offer the resolutions they promised at the range they should have. Honestly, I don’t buy cables from anything other than well-established brands now. Sure, I’m not dropping £100+ on a Monster cable, I’m not an idiot. However, you can get a quality certified cable from PowerA for a lot less.

It’s 3 meters long (10ft) and rated as an Ultra High-Speed HDMI cable. That means it can deliver 4K resolution at 120 Hz and 8k resolution at 60 Hz as specified in HDMI 2.1 with eARc, dynamic HDR, and more.

Features

  • Reliable high-performance Ultra High-Speed HDMI Cable
  • 10-foot (3 meters) length and included cable tie for ultimate setup flexibility
  • Uninterrupted speed and maximum visual performance
  • Transmits 4K resolution at 120 Hz and 8k resolution at 60 Hz as specified in HDMI 2.1
  • Supports up to 48 Gbps bandwidth
  • Supports dynamic HDR and eARC
  • Backwards compatible with earlier HDMI technology
  • Officially licensed by PlayStation, and includes a two-year limited warranty; visit PowerA.com/Support

As a child still in my 30's (but not for long), I spend my day combining my love of music and movies with a life-long passion for gaming, from arcade classics and retro consoles to the latest high-end PC and console games. So it's no wonder I write about tech and test the latest hardware while I enjoy my hobbies!
