Battlefield 6's open beta has returned, and the game already looks like one of the strongest series entries in years. If you're planning to play the full game when it's released in a few weeks' time, you should take a look at our PC gear recommendations to help you excel - including battle-tested picks for mice, headsets, keyboards and monitors.

Fun fact: you can also use our recommendations for console gaming, as the game supports mouse and keyboard inputs on PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X/S. If you don't have a modern-ish gaming PC that meets the requirements, then playing on console could be the best way to go!

Without further ado, here are our top peripheral recommendations for Battlefield 6.

Best Battlefield 6 mouse: Mchose L7 Ultra

The best budget wireless mouse for FPS.

The Mchose L7 Ultra is an exceptional wireless mouse for FPS gaming, delivering both the ultra-light design, high-end PixArt PAW3950 sensor and 8K polling rates used by esports pros - while costing a fraction of similar mice from the likes of Razer and Logitech. Sure, the design is a little derivative, but you can't argue with the comfort, responsiveness and precision that the L7 Ultra gives you. There aren't noticeable sacrifices to sensor quality, build quality or battery life either - though the 8K mode does drain it much faster - and the symmetric, small-to-medium design works for a wide range of hand sizes and claw or fingertip grip styles.

I'm lucky enough to spend a lot of time testing high-end mice for my job, and the L7 Ultra performed better than many competitors that cost twice or even three times the price. If you're coming from a bog-standard gaming mouse, like the Logitech G502 or Razer Basilisk, you'll find the L7 Ultra to be an absolute revelation, and even if you already have a decent ultra-light, the extremely lightweight (46g) design and 8K polling rate offer further advantages.

  • Pro: Extremely cheap for an 8K wireless mouse.
  • Pro: Great shape, good optical clicks and extremely lightweight.
  • Con: Relatively slim battery life in 8K mode.

Best Battlefield 6 headset: Razer BlackShark V3 X Hyperspeed

Great sound isolation and a better mic than the £250 V3 Pro.

Battlefield 6 offers a much more crowded soundscape than competitors like Counter-Strike or Valorant, so choosing a headset with plenty of detail, good directionality and a solid microphone can offer a big advantage when it comes to locating marauding enemies and communicating with your squad. One I've been enjoying recently is the Razer BlackShark V3 X Hyperspeed, a very long-winded product name that simply denotes that this is the cheapest of Razer's three third-gen BlarkShark wireless headsets. For the money, you get a headset that ticks all the boxes above, as well as delivering a comfortable, relatively lightweight design and excellent passive noise isolation so you can fully focus on the game at hand.

Note that there are three different variants of the V3 X Hyperspeed, all of which work on PC, PS5 and Switch 2, but canny multi-platform players will get the Xbox-branded version - as it adds support for the Microsoft boxes while still working everywhere the other ones do too. Whichever variant you go for though, this is a great headset for Battlefield 6 that I've found myself turning to over the more expensive members of the same family.

  • Pro: Great noise isolation and directionality helps you hear foes.
  • Pro: Comfy design with a solid mic and reliable wireless.
  • Pro: Xbox version is compatible with all consoles plus PC.
  • Con: The BlackShark V3 Pro is better overall, but 2.5x the price.

Best Battlefield 6 keyboard: Wooting 80HE

This keyboard does what others can't.

The Wooting 80HE isn't the cheapest keyboard going, but it is the best for FPS - including BF6. You get the normal mechanical gaming keyboard niceties, including a pleasant typing experience, easy repairability and impactful customisation options, but what sets it appart are its magnetic (Hall Effect) switches and Wooting's excellent software. With these, your inputs can be recognised more swiftly (rapid trigger), your lateral movement can change in an instant (SOCD), and you can even use a key as a completely analogue input (giving you a joystick-like input). There are plenty of magnetic switch keyboards on the market that can offer similar features, but Wooting pioneered most of them - and they therefore benefit from top-tier performance figures and a much more intuitive software experience than those competing boards. The 80HE is also a good form factor for Battlefield 6, with the F keys needed to change positions in vehicles, for example.

We've linked to Wooting's worldwide store above, but if you prefer to shop on Amazon (eg you've got free next-day delivery), then we've also linked to Keychron's K2 HE. This is one of the better Wooting alternatives, with reasonably good software and a unique wooden look, though I'd still recommend the Wooting board as our overall pick.

  • Pro: Rapid trigger, SOCD and quick inputs give you a leg up.
  • Pro: Well-built, customisable and great for typing too.
  • Con: Cheaper alternatives exist, albeit with worse software.

Best Battlefield 6 monitor: AOC Agon AG276QZD2 OLED

Incredible motion clarity, even at low frame-rates.

Even at its lowest settings and with a high-end graphics card like the RTX 4090, Battlefield 6 is a challenging game to run at the high frame-rates that you'd like for a competitive shooter. Most powerful gaming PCs will operate between 120 to 240fps, versus double that for games like Counter-Strike 2. Therefore, for our monitor pick we've chosen one that'll provide excellent motion clarity even at (relatively) low frame-rates: a 1440p 240Hz OLED.

The AOC Agon AG276QZD2 is one of the cheapest ways to get that spec list, and a great monitor in its own right, delivering the near-instant pixel response times that OLED is known for as well as great colour reproduction, wide viewing angles and a great HDR experience. Critically for Battlefield, that means fast-moving objects will appear clearer, with less ghosting or smearing then you'd find on competing panel types like VA or IPS, and the monitor sports extremely low input lag too.

If you're able to plump for an OLED like this one, you'll reap the benefits in plenty of games besides Battlefield, so we're happy to recommend one here. I'm not worried about burn-in on my OLED - and you shouldn't be either given normal mixed usage - but AOC do offer a three-year warranty that includes burn-in, and there are plenty of the usual countermeasures, like automatic screen dimming and logo detection. Overall, an excellent monitor for the money, and one that will excel in both gaming and media consumption alike.

  • Pro: OLED's fast pixel response times are great for BF6.
  • Pro: Amazing HDR highlights and colour reproduction.
  • Con: More expensive than LCD equivalents, can burn-in with extended use of static content.

That just about does it for now, but if you have any questions, want to make your own suggestions or are interested in any more gear recommendations for Battlefield 6, feel free to leave them in the comments below or contact me on Bluesky @wsjudd.
