Global Sources Consumer Electronics Show in HK, April 2026
Gaming Peripherals Become Hot Purchases The esports section at Global Sources April Hong Kong Show 2026 was extremely popular. Gaming keyboards, gaming mice, tri-mode headsets and gaming stands became key purchasing categories for global buyers. Show data shows double-digit growth from North America, Europe, Latin America, Japan, South Korea and ASEAN, with a significant increase in cross-border e-commerce buyers, marking a strong growth cycle for the gaming peripheral track. This year’s gaming peripheral zone focused on four core trends: tri-mode wireless, lightweight, RGB lighting and ergonomics. A variety of 60%/65% compact mechanical keyboards, 58g ultra-light gaming mice, 2.4G+BT+Wired tri-mode ANC headsets were showcased. They gained favor from top international buyers like HAMA and BELKIN for low latency, long battery life, stable quality and cost-effectiveness. Buyers generally focused on CE/RoHS compliance, fast delivery and OEM/ODM customization, with rising demand for small-batch multi-category orders. As the global esports ecosystem expands, desktop peripherals are upgrading from single performance to “performance + experience + personalization”. Tri-mode wireless enables full-scenario adaptation, lightweight design reduces fatigue during long gaming sessions, ergonomics optimize grip and wear comfort, and RGB lighting with macros meet personalized needs. China’s gaming peripheral supply chain, with mature manufacturing, fast response and flexible customization, is the global sourcing choice. Supply-demand matching was efficient during the show, with 5,000+ precise meetings via Business Matching. Domestic manufacturers like us, SENIX reached cooperation intentions with overseas buyers for bulk orders, brand agency and factory visits, further consolidating China’s position as the world’s core manufacturing base for gaming peripherals.
