However, its not just about a good gaming mouse.

The right gaming mouse for an FPS player might be different for a MOBA or MMORPG player.

We suggest checking out some of thebest 165Hz monitors, though.

144Hz monitors are becoming a thing of the past and the new gaming baseline is 165Hz.

Besides the refresh rate of your monitor, you should also pay attention to the response times.

You should aim for a monitor with at least 5 ms or less response time.

A good gaming monitor goes hand in hand with a good gaming mouse because of hand-eye coordination.

Some Apex Legends players even prefer playing on a controller over a mouse and keyboard on PC.

If youre a controller or gamepad player, you already know that your inputs go through that one unit.

you could buy headphones with amazing sound while still having enough money to buy a good microphone.

Companies usually jack up prices with unnecessary gaming features that youre not likely to even use.

Open-backs and IEMs are some of the best gaming options as theyre lightweight.

Open-backs in particular can be worn for long sessions and don’t trap heat like closed-back headphones.

You dont need special “gamer” sound tuning on your headphones.

Youll find that gamers just buy a mechanical keyboard and call it a day.

A good keyboard is essential for games that require millisecond precision for movement inputs.

Hall-effect keyboards, on the other hand, are a beast of their own.

Maximizing your personal capacity should be your goal if you want to get good.

Getting the right gaming gear will give you space to improve more easily.
