Mouse
You’ll need a good quality mouse if you want gaming on the computer to be comfortable and efficient. There are many out there varying in prices.
- Razer Mice (Naga, DeathAdder)
- R.A.T Mice
- Logitech Gaming Mice (G502)
Keep your eyes out for sales and promotions, as they often come out. You’ll be able to get these good quality mice for a cheaper price.
Keyboard
Most people prefer to play video games on a mechanical keyboard. They are generally higher quality and making gaming more enjoyable. The switches used in the keyboards increase reaction and it even sounds nice when you type. ;D
However, be prepared to shell out at least $100 for a good mechanical keyboard. There are many kinds out there and as the user, you have to decide which one fits you better. Some suggestions we have are:
- Razer Mechanical Keyboards
- Ducky Mechanical Keyboards
- Logitech Mechanical Keyboards
Headset
Since most games are multiplayer and online, a headset is almost always a requirement. It allows you to communicate with your team, as well as increasing your sound quality so you can hear the enemy! It also makes gaming much more comfortable, rather than using cheap $10 earphones that hurt your ears after a few hours, gaming headsets are meant to keep you comfortable. Some of the ones we suggest are:
- Razer Kraken
- SteelSeries Siberia V2
- Logitech G430
Mousepad
It’s necessary for you to purchase a mousepad, to be honest, this is the least important factor of your gaming set up. You can go for just about anything as long as you feel the mouse movement is smooth on it, and it’s comfortable for you. The brand name mousepads are relatively overpriced, and you could get the same effect from brandless ones.
Monitor
A large monitor with excellent color is what we look for. However, these are rather pricey, so we would recommend waiting for sales and always keeping a look out for flyers. Especially if you want to go with dual monitors, which really improves gaming.
