5 Essential Gaming Accessories That Every PC Gamer Needs

Gaming is definitely a great hit  in young people’s world. Various new games show up everydaysuch as Monster Hunted World, Gear 5, Borderland 3 and so on. Apart from the joy  gaming offers, we also seek for better performance and comfort nowadays. 

If you want to have excellent performance and help your team to win the game, just read on! In this article, I will introduce you to the 5 most important gaming accessories that every gamer needs. The performance of these accessories can directly determine your performance in the game. 

Gaming Monitor

A gaming monitor with a large screen and high pixel helps you feel more engaged in the game. It greatly satisfies us with awesome visions, which can enhance our passion and motivation. If you want to improve your performance, a high-quality professional gaming monitor is a great choice. 

If you are a Nintendo lover,  you might also want to use a tablet stand to hold your  device when playing with your gamepad. 

Keyboard

A better gaming keyboard can greatly upgrade your performance during the game. The key and switch are the two main factors to consider when choosing a gaming keyboard. For the key type, a mechanical keyboard is the most commonly used gaming keyboard, since it has a better tactile impression than a common keyboard. What’s more, in a mechanical, each key is controlled by an independent switch, so the operation of one key will never influence the other keys.

For the switch type, Cherry MX is the most popular switch among most gamers because of its fast responsiveness. Faster responsiveness means you don’t have to watch your game character die for being slow. 

Gaming mouse

In addition to the gaming keyboard, a gaming mouse is also an essential element that helps you defeat your enemies. A gaming mouse is different from a commonly used mouse. When you are in CF, a gaming mouse targets your enemy more precisely than a normal mouse. Besides, when you shoot your enemy (click the mouse), the gaming mouse can react faster. 

There are mainly two kinds of mice in the market: the mechanical mouse and the optical mouse. 

• Optical Mouse

An optical mouse uses a light source and a light detector to detect movement relative to a surface. It is more advanced in core technology than a mechanical mouse. It doesn’t need special maintenance since it is designed to be dust-proof. However, most optical mice might have a serious problem—frame dropping. Frame dropping can cause a severe impact on your performance during the game. An optical mouse has high demands for a mouse pad.

• Mechanical Mouse 

A mechanical uses the rubber ball inside to control the sensors to detect motions. Compared to the optical mouse, the mechanical mouse needs regular cleaning since dust may influence its sensibility. Although it requires regular cleaning, most gamers prefer a mechanical mouse to an optical mouse, because there will be no frame dropping when using the mechanical mouse. Besides, the workmanship, material and tactile impression of a mechanical mouse is better than an optical at the same price. 

Mouse Pad

Most gamers pay attention to choose a nice mouse and easily ignore the importance of a mouse pad. A mouse pad can directly influence the performance of the mouse. Different types of mouse you choose require mouse pads with different materials and texture. 

For a mechanical mouse, a mouse pad with enough frictional force and elasticity is needed, so the cloth pad or plastic pad will be suitable. For optical mouse, mouse pads in light colors will influence light reflection, so the mouse pad should be in deep color like black, blue.

Headsets

Lots of video games now need players’ communication with each other. Headsets are the key to teamwork. Headsets with great sound quality can not only help you communicate with your teammates easily but also help you identify what is going on around you in the game. Also, headsets that are well sound-proof can greatly reduce the interference out of the game. You can concentrate on the game with nice headsets.

Controller

A controller has the same function as the keyboard when you are playing games, so, responsiveness is the most vital factor to consider. A controller is more convenient to operate. You can play games in any comfortable way you like holding a controller such as sitting, lying on the sofa, standing up, etc. Most controllers can be connected with the laptop using Bluetooth, which is quite intelligent.

A nice controller can have meticulous vibrations for different buttons and in different situations in the game. The ways of vibration when the player is driving should be different from when he is shooting. That is a unique experience that you can’t get from a keyboard.

Conclusion

With all those gaming accessories mentioned above, even though you are a freshman in video gaming, you have made a big step for your victory in the game. Gaming skills are important. However, if you want to be one of the best players and always lead your team to victory, high-quality gaming accessories are what you should consider in the primary. 

In addition to these gears I mentioned, there are other gaming accessories for gamers, such as a great cable system, gaming desk, gaming speaker, gaming chair, etc, each of which can help improve your performance in its own way.
