New gaming hardware purchases no longer entail compromise in terms of quality and performance.
Weekly Narrative:
Hey there, pal! I've been a busy beaver this week, transforming my office space into a cozy gaming den. First, I cleared out the mess, built a badass new desk, and now I'm in the midst of moving all the gadgets back – all while avoiding actually doing it. But, you know, procrastination is part of the fun, right?
While lounging on the Lenovo Legion Go S the other day, I couldn't help but appreciate how comfy it felt. Although it falls short on power, its comfort compensates and makes it an excellent choice for my gaming sessions. In fact, I've started using it exclusively, saving the original Legion Go for some light reading. It's not just the ergonomics, the clicks and triggers are downright satisfying too, and let's face it – it looks better, too.
Feeling motivated, I jumped back to my work setup and started typing away on the Keychron Q5 HE. This Hall effect keyboard brings the best of both worlds, blending high-quality gaming performance with a comfortable and satisfying typing experience, even for non-gamers like me. In fact, my Varmilo keyboard is gathering dust these days because I can't get enough of the Keychron's action.
This revelation got me thinking about the evolution of PC gaming gear. I remember falling in love with my first Razer BlackWidow keyboard way back in 2010, but the truth is, modern options completely outshine it. Today's peripherals offer a perfect blend of comfort, quality, and performance, making it harder to deny that we're not missing out on anything by using PC gear for gaming.
Take, for example, my Logitech G Pro X Superlight mouse – light, powerful, and inconspicuous in any setting, even the office. Or how about the EarFun Air Pro 4 earbuds, not designed for gaming but perfect for it, thanks to features like Game Mode that reduce latency.
It seems the industry is catching on: gaming has become so mainstream that peripheral manufacturers are creating high-quality products that cater to both work and play. And that's a win for us gamers – no more deciding between gaming performance and office aesthetics, or sacrificing ergonomics for raw power.
Jacob FoxJacob stumbled upon his first gaming PC at the ripe age of 12 and quickly realized he'd been ripped off by the local PC repair store. Since then, he's become a self-proclaimed hardware junkie. Jacob's eclectic life includes dabbling as a hardware writer for PCGamesN, pursuing a Philosophy Ph.D., and freelancing for tech sites like TechRadar, Pocket-lint, and PC Gamer. Eventually, he traded in his mercenary ways for a full-time gig as part of PC Gamer's esteemed team – but he's quick to assure us it's got nothing to do with ego.
