What equipment do players need?

Do you want to start your adventure with the virtual world of games and wonder what equipment is best for it? Or maybe you have already chosen your favorite platform and are looking for variety? This review of useful gaming gadgets will help you find out what equipment players of different skill levels need.

The gaming community is more than polarized when it comes to the types of platforms they play on. On the one hand, we have console fans, and on the other hand, we have avid gaming PC enthusiasts. If we take it one step further, we can see that console owners are mostly Xbox and Playstation owners. As for computer hardware, you can choose between PC and laptop. Adding fuel to the fire is the fact that the platform we choose will affect what games we can play and what hardware we need to do so.

What equipment does a console player need?

The absolute basis for starting your adventure with console gaming, whether you choose Xbox or Playstation, is to purchase a controller. This is an analogue of the TV remote control that you will control while using the application or the game itself. Manufacturers offer classic controllers and slightly tuned versions for those who appreciate the ability to personalize equipment. Recently, wireless controllers have become popular. Thanks to Bluetooth technology, the tablet connects to the console and guarantees low latency.

Sometimes the type of controller dictates the genre of the game. Among the unique controllers you will find:

• Keyboard Pad - if you are playing a game where you need to write something, this will be a huge help,
• Joysticks are modern versions of classics that allow you to play arcade and fighting games,
• Fighting Sticki - slightly smaller representatives of joysticks,
• Flightsticks - for those who love flight simulators or fighting games,
• Steering wheels - without them, racing games do not have this hint of realism.

There are also some useful gadgets that are not essential but will definitely make life easier for stock console gamers. The Wireless Controller Charger can hold up to two tablets and can look very aesthetically pleasing if placed in a place of honor. Gaming headphones with a microphone can be a valuable piece of equipment for fans of multiplayer entertainment.

The market for less popular consoles is also extremely rich. For Nintendo Switch, you can buy a ready-made set of useful accessories or a kit from a wide range of gadgets:

• Headphones,
• design cases,
• Alternative pads.

When choosing a mouse, you can be guided by aesthetic considerations - equipment manufacturers for players have long moved away from a simple design. However, I recommend looking at the parameters of our computer rodent. All shooters or stealth will require you to be fast and accurate, don't let this element be weakened by the wrong type of gear. An alternative to a mouse can be a mouse pad that you plug into your computer.

The second most important component of the player's kit is the keyboard. Well, if it is backlit, with height adjustment and elimination of the “double click” effect. You'll appreciate the first feature by leveling up at the end, and the rest during the intense part of the game. Some keyboards also have a separate panel with function keys that will make it easier for you to perform complex maneuvers. Remember that even the best and most expensive keyboard can't take too much hitting the keys, so be careful with it even if this lurking sniper kills you for the tenth time in the same place.

If you're planning on doing some online entertainment, you'll probably need headphones. Communication with other team members is not always necessary, but if you manage to build a team among friends or play matches with a fairly constant lineup on your favorite servers, invest in this gadget.
