What kind of mouse grip do you need?

Everyone has a different grip with their mouse, whether it be for gaming or working, everyone holds their mouse different.

Palm Grip

The base of your palm rests on the back of the mouse, with your fingers laying on top of it. This is the most common/basic grip that people have.

Claw Grip

When your finger tips are touching the buttons and edges of the mouse and your wrist is resting on your mouse mat while your palm is disconnected from the mouse.

Fingertip Grip

This is when you grip the mouse with only your fingertips. Your palm and wrist are elevated. It’s a very good grip for those who prefer to play precision games like League of Legends or DOTA 2. While not exclusive to those games, each to their own on how they prefer to handle their mouse.

Recognizing your grip style is important. In most cases, it depends on the size of your hands. A mouse designed for fingertip grip would generally be larger than a mouse designed for palm grip. So it may be something to consider when purchasing a mouse.

See your games in a whole new way

Upgrade your monitor to get an even better experience gaming, especially if visuals are important to you. You’ll want something with a high refresh rate, good panel and fast response time.

When seeking a gaming monitor, there are different panels such as: IPS, TN, VA and even OLED. Each with their own pros and cons. There are things to consider such as, screen size and aspect ratio, which affect the way you view everything and as well as desk space. You’ll want enough space on your desk for everything else. Of course there are other things to consider such as speakers, RGB features, DP vs HDMI, etc.

What keyboard switch suits you?

The best gaming keyboards use a number of different mechanical switch types that determine the feel and sound of each key press. The type of switch you choose depends on your personal preferences for typing and gaming. Each colour have a different resistance (when you press down) if they’re in the same category.

There are many different types of switch types so choosing one can be hard. On top of that, depending on which manufacturer you choose to go with, they may have different specifications that may be the same color as another brand.
