From custom mice to jerseys to game systems, practically everything pro gamers use today can be yours for Christmas. The ESPN esports team has assembled some of our favorite items to help you play and look like a pro this season. There are only a few shopping days left for Christmas, so you better hurry. Or you can use this guide for how to spend your post-Christmas gift certificates.
Team jerseys
The easiest way to look like a pro is to buy a jersey. From Cloud9 to Team SoloMid to Dignitas, every major team has jerseys to buy on its site or a third-party vendor, often with the pro players' names and sometimes even signed. This example is Immortals, but it's not hard to track down your favorite team or player.

Overwatch gear
2016's hottest new esport, Overwatch, also features some of the most sought-after gear around. Just ask anyone who stood in line in the merch area at BlizzCon. From statues to hoodies, the store has it all. Just be careful of those Tracer tights in public.

League of Legends prepaid cards
Yeah, gift certificates can be a lame present, but you know a League of Legends gift certificate will go to good use for anyone who plays. They can be spent on champions, skins and other items for League of Legends. The loot also helps newer players acquire cool things faster.

Gaming monitor
Every decent home PC setup needs a solid monitor for high-end gaming. The BenQ XL2430T has a 144hz refresh rate, 1ms response time -- perfect for those fast-paced games. There is a variety of monitors and brands out there, so pick the one that matches your PC best.
Price: $359 | Benq
Mechanical keyboard (with LEDs)
Many gamers prefer mechanical keyboards because it takes less time for a key press to register and you can really feel it when you've pressed hard enough to complete the keystroke. Mechanical keyboards are also more durable than regular ones. Ducky is one example, plus the LEDs look cool.
Price: $139 | Ducky
Hand warmers
Cold hands can definitely inhibit speed and accuracy. Hand warmers are key to getting your fingers in sync with your mind. Practically every pro has these on hand.
Price: $24/box | HotHands
Gaming chair
For extended sessions and practice, a couch isn't going to cut it. You need an ergonomic chair designed to give you support in all the right places. Higher-end chairs also boast features such as wireless transmission for audio, stereo speakers and syncing with other chairs.
Price: $239-500 | DXRacer
Gaming PC
Here's where you unload all your gift cards. Every pro needs a decent setup for scrims at home and inside team houses. You'll see a lot of Acer PCs at pro matches because Acer is an active sponsor of many esports competitions, but spend time getting your own rig to your personal preferences.
Price: Varies | Acer predator
Customizable mouse
Like a baseball bat or a golf club, your mouse is the key piece of equipment you'll be using to solo kill at a frenetic pace. The right fit is most important as long sessions can be murder on your wrist. Mad Catz RAT8 optical mouse has more configurations than you thought possible.
Price: $100 | Mad Catz RAT8
