PC Gaming
Gaming as an activity is often used for playing computer games. PC gaming has existed since 1958 ("Tennis for Two" by William Higinbotham) and is more widespread today than ever before. In addition to playing on a PC, gaming on a smartphone or a game console is also very common. Technically, you can play with any computer, but to play current games, you need a suitable gaming computer.
Besides a gaming PC, you also need a monitor and other accessories. There is even a wide selection of special gaming monitors that offer unique features for gaming. Other accessories for a gaming computer include:
- A PC keyboard
- The computer mouse with a mousepad
- Headsets or speakers
- Gamepads and joysticks
- Steering wheels and pedals
Gaming Mice & Mousepads
The gaming mouse is a precision tool, especially in first-person shooters. Many pro gamers spend hours practicing their movements and aiming. A good gaming mouse with adjustable sensor resolution is a great help for professional gamers.
In terms of ergonomics, there are models designed for either claw, fingertip, or palm grip. Additionally, there are models optimized for specific types of games, featuring, for example, many programmable mouse buttons.
A good mouse also requires a suitable mousepad. The mouse sensor can optimally capture movements on the mousepad. XXL mousepads offer enough space to also place the keyboard on them, preventing it from slipping.
Another optional accessory is a mouse bungee. This cable holder secures the mouse cable to prevent it from getting caught, which is very helpful in heated gaming situations.
Gaming Keyboards with Mechanical Switches
Mechanical keyboards are very popular with gamers because they provide noticeable resistance when typing. Additionally, more keys can usually be pressed simultaneously than on a rubber dome keyboard. Mechanical switches are so popular that they can also be found in gaming notebooks. Another "must-have" is, of course, RGB LEDs, which illuminate individual keys and can be customized individually.
Headsets & Speakers for Gamers
Comprehensive sound systems with numerous speakers, surround sound, and digital sound enhancements provide the necessary acoustic backdrop for current blockbuster titles. To avoid disturbing neighbors, roommates, or parents, gamers use high-quality headsets and headphones—with classic stereo or modern multi-channel sound. The required high sound quality is provided by sound cards that deliver Dolby Digital, DTS, and THX sound in perfection.
Accessories for Gamers
To take your potent PC gaming equipment to friends or LAN parties, sophisticated transport and carrying systems are available. A variety of cables, adapters, or hubs and switches ensure you never lose connection. 3D glasses bring PC gaming to a new dimension of reality.
Gaming PCs: The Hardware
A graphics card is a must in a high-end gaming PC. Besides the GeForce RTX series from NVIDIA, the AMD Radeon RX series is also very popular. With these graphics cards, you can game beyond Full HD. As a processor for the gaming PC, an Intel Core i5 or a Ryzen 5 from AMD can be used, for example. In our PC configurator, you will find some suitable options to assemble a gaming PC.
