Components and accessories for gamers are characterized by increased requirements for quality and performance due to the high voltage that falls on the equipment. Mouse and keyboard are no exception, which must meet certain characteristics for both the professional and the amateur.
Choosing a gaming mouse
A mouse for a gamer must have such qualities as reliability, convenience, accuracy and speed. Compliance with these parameters is necessary for a gamer, since the reaction to events on the screen may depend on the device used. At a moment that requires a quick reaction, the mouse should not let the owner down and properly respond as accurately as possible to a quick movement of the hand.
The shape of the device will also become an important component. Ideally, the mouse should repeat the grip of the player's palm, and therefore the device should not only meet certain technical characteristics, but also fit the owner.
The best option for a gamer would be a wired laser mouse, since it is precisely such a device that can provide maximum pointer accuracy. The optical laser sensors are equipped with an LED and a scanner that accurately respond to the position of the pointer.
An important characteristic when choosing will be the sensor resolution (about 2000 dpi). But it is worth noting that mice with a resolution of more than 2600 dpi are unlikely to improve the game even for a professional gamer, and therefore you should not purchase expensive devices with characteristics higher than this value.
Selection of the keyboard for the gamer
Keyboard selection should be based on usability, button travel, and button placement. Gaming keyboards are distinguished by the presence of a separate section, on which special buttons are displayed, used in most games. These devices have rubberized keys that are pressed more tightly than others, providing greater precision and making it possible to distribute the force of pressing the keys to provide more precise movements of the game character.
Additional keys for the gaming keyboard should be placed outside the main block.
Remember that the most convenient device will have the buttons you need, but don't buy keyboards that have a lot of extra keys. During play, they can interfere with quick reactions and cause confusion.
The most expensive devices are wireless keyboards that connect to a computer via a Bluetooth transmitter. It should be noted that they are not always easy to use, and therefore you should choose a device based on your playing style and the habit of placing your fingers on the keyboard. A good plus for the keyboard for the gamer will be the presence of additional USB ports and headphone jacks. The backlighting of the buttons will also be a useful feature for the player, which, however, will significantly increase the cost of the device.
