Level up your PC with gaming accessories
A new gaming PC or laptop might be the big headline gadget you think about when you want to upgrade your setup.
But don’t forget about the humble gaming accessories. Think of them like the gear you take into battle with you in-game. Without a game changing keyboard, mouse, headset, and gaming chair, you’re going to be at a disadvantage when you charge into the arena.
So, let’s get you tooled up and ready for action…
Choose a comfy gaming chair
We’ve got your back here – in this case, literally. When you’re gaming, you’re probably going to be sat at your PC for hours at a time. Whether you’re getting lost in a massive RPG – just. One. More. Quest. – or starting a multiplayer marathon with your mates.
And that’s where a gaming chair comes into its own. It’ll help to support your posture (serious back problems really aren’t fun), letting you can kick back in comfort and focus on the match.
The ADX Ergonomic Y 24 is the best seat in the house. Its breathable mesh design helps you to keep your cool, especially when the fight really heats up. While with its handy flip-up footrest, you can put your feet up when you’re tinkering with your loadout between rounds.
A great gaming chair isn’t just practical though. They come in so many whacky designs and crazy colours, that they’re ace for adding a touch of style to your setup. So, find one you like and jazz up your gaming space a bit!
Find the perfect gaming keyboard
Your keyboard is the hub of your battle station. And if you want the best one for gaming, you’ll need to get yourself a mechanical keyboard. They’re the go-to for gamers thanks to their better feedback and customisable key switches. And if you fancy a bit of a lightshow, you could always bag one with customisable RGB lighting. Hopefully you don’t get too distracted from the game though!
Speaking of customisation, Razer’s Hunstman V3 Pro TKL is fitted with Gen-2 Analog Optical Switches – where you can tweak their actuation range anywhere between 0.1 and 4.0 mm to suit your playstyle. It means the level of sensitivity can be changed to match you, letting you trigger your in-game shortcuts quickly with barely a tap.
But if things need to be even faster, Rapid Trigger mode makes the keyboard as speedy as you. So, as long as you’re more rapid than the other team, you’ll come out on top. You could say it’s the keys to gaming greatness…
Wear the best gaming headset
Let’s be honest, audio is 50% of the gaming experience. With ace sound, you’ll be able to completely immerse yourself in the world, and really appreciate the bass of booming explosions, and the clash of swords. Oh, and those epic soundtracks that are starting to give Hans Zimmer a run for his money too.
Plus, you’ll always be able to tell where those gunshots are coming from. Or know if a sneaky opponent is trying to creep up behind you to take you out with a stealth attack. Look out for headsets with surround sound tech and comfy ear cups to keep you fully engaged without any distractions.
And of course, headsets are essential for multiplayer. Especially if you want to win and nail that top spot on the leaderboard. The SteelSeries Arctis Nova Pro comes equipped with an AI powered noise cancelling microphone, which’ll cut right through any annoying background noise (like that incredibly loud vacuum cleaner). So, your squad will hear your orders loud and clear while you set up an ambush for the enemy team. To get that victory, coordination is key!
There’s also the super handy Infinity Power System. With two hot-swap batteries, you can charge up one while you use the other. Meaning you’ll never run out of juice and can stay right in the action without having to dip out and wait for a top up. Sounds like a winner to us…
Upgrade your gaming mouse
With a super responsive and accurate gaming mouse, the enemy fighters really won’t know what hit them. You’ll be swapping weapons, healing up and taking them out before they can blink – kind of like a souped-up John Wick.
If we had to pick one, we’d go for the Logitech Pro X Superlight. It’s been made with the help of eSports pros, so it’ll definitely help you to reach the top of your game.
But how though? Well, part of the clue’s in the name. This thing only weighs 60 g, so you’ll literally glide across your mouse mat at lightning speeds. Ideal for when you need to quickly spin to line up a headshot at the last second. That goes hand in hand with the HERO 2 gaming sensor, giving you the precision and reaction times needed to completely dominate your opponents.
And you won’t have to reach for the charging cable anytime soon. It’ll last for up to 95 hours on just the one charge. That’s a whole lot of multiplayer rounds and days of adventuring!
Why choose an ergonomic mouse?
Those long gaming sessions we’ve mentioned can do a number on your wrists and hands if you’re not careful. That could just be a little bit of discomfort you notice here and there, or a full-on injury that puts your gaming on pause for a while.
Ergonomic gaming mice are specially designed to reduce the strain on your hand and wrist though. You’ll stay comfortable and pain-free when you play, and that goes for whether you’re zipping about on an intense first-person shooter or conquering the map in a real time strategy campaign. Because of that, you’ll be able to be in the game longer too. So, if you get really hooked on a certain level, you can see your objective right through to the end.
