How to choose a set of comfortable enough computer peripherals for your 3m³ gaming space?


Thanks to my kitten, my computer peripherals were finally replaced with new ones.

Here’s the thing. My cat’s cat morality has decreased recently, and it has learned two things at the same time: the first thing is to jump on the computer table from the flat ground, and the second thing is to search for things on the computer table that can be thrown and played.

There are not many things that can be dropped on the desktop, the monitor and keyboard can’t be pushed, the earphones are fixed on the earphone stand, and the microphone is not interested because of its unfriendly shape.

And the only small movable device, my wireless mouse, suffered, not surprisingly. After being dropped to the ground by cats maybe twenty or thirty times in just two weeks, his left button started double-clicking.

As a Logitech Family Bucket user, the mouse in my home is the G903 used by the university, and the mouse in the office is the G402 used by the university. The reason why I want to emphasize “used in university until now” is because the G903 has been bought for five years, and the G402 has been in service for nearly nine years. The two mice have not even been repaired. I thought I would use them Plastic aging, natural scrapping.

I thought about it for a while. It’s not easy to repair it when the Chinese New Year is approaching. I just wanted to upgrade the earphones that I’ve used for a long time. Shit king “GPW second generation, and G
Headphones and keyboards from the PRO series.

The reason for choosing the G PRO series is partly due to the path dependence of Logitech users. On the one hand, there are not many options for professional-level flagship peripherals. If you don’t change the brand, you can continue to share the software; on the other hand, refer to the performance parameters and Usage rate of professional e-sports players, G
PRO is now more or less the best.

In the field of mice, Logitech has also released many explosive models, such as the G703 that FPS players love to use, and the classic G502 nicknamed “for those who practice martial arts”. Users include “League of Legends” players Jackeylove, Rookie and so on. But in terms of the usage rate of the e-sports professional circle, they may not be able to compete with today’s G
PRO compared.

I believe that players who are interested in purchasing peripherals know the peripheral statistics website Prosettings for professional e-sports players. On Prosettings, G PRO series mice (that is, GPW and GPW second generation) have shown a trend of dominating the list.

Taking CS:GO as an example, among the top five mice used by professional players, the first and fourth are both GPW, one is the second generation and the other is the first generation. You must know that GPW2 is a mouse launched in 2021, which means that many players have not warmed up the first generation in their hands, and immediately replaced it with a new one after GPW2 came out.

Like the CS:GO giants NAVI, there are four GPW2s in the team, and Electronics is the only one who “doesn’t fit in”.

On the “League of Legends” e-sports side, more and more players are using GPW2, such as Doinb, Toothpaste, and Clid. The RNG club has become a partner of Logitech very early on, and GPW2 was also designed with the participation and feedback of many e-sports clubs and professional players around the world.

The reason why the choice of professional players can explain a change in the trend of peripherals is largely because e-sports PROs are not as “following the trend” as ordinary players. For example, in the past, many professional players still had doubts about the attitude of wireless devices in terms of delay and sensing. For example, when the G903 was just launched and became the flagship of Logitech, many players continued to use the heavy G502.

But now, more and more professional players are using wireless equipment with lightweight design. This is because compared with wired devices, today’s wireless keyboards and mice have no compromises in terms of experience and functional parameters. For example, the new generation of GPW2 is equipped with HERO
25K sensors, coupled with LIGHTSPEED wireless technology solutions, can hardly feel the constraints of delay at all.

Coupled with the ultimate lightweight design, the GPW2 with a total weight of less than 63 grams will hardly let the player feel the resistance encountered during operation without cables “holding back”, and can better position the details of the operation .

Such high-strength, low-weight hardware parameters make the experience of using GPW2 very “one size fits all”, so it has been widely loved by professional players.

After replacing the G903 with GPW2, I feel the same way. I can find a comfortable grip no matter whether it is a prone grip or a grip, unlike some heavier mice that can only be gripped prone. In addition, the weight is really very light, playing the game is like “like an arm”, and there is almost no hindrance during operation. If you’re a fan of “heavy” mice, take the time to get used to the GPW2 and you’ll feel like a Leo with the weight removed.

The same goes for headphones. After replacing the G431 that has been used for many years with the G PRO X headset, I also feel like I have found the “answer to the panacea version”. Because it adopts the same LIGHTSPEED wireless connection solution as GPW2, G
The listening experience of PRO X also does not feel the “sense of delay” at all. There is no “slow” feeling that you can only play games with noise-canceling beans when you go out and use your laptop, and the sound transmission will basically not be disconnected.

The G PRO X headset that supports the new generation of DTS Headphone:X 2.0 surround sound is also more accurate in terms of space than the previous 7.1-channel system, which helps to more accurately determine the enemy’s position when playing APEX or PUBG— —Of course, the bad news is that there is basically no reason to blame the equipment if no one can be found.

To put it bluntly, compared to the hard-core considerations on hardware parameters, after switching to the G PRO family barrel, I can feel more that after the current gaming peripherals tend to be wireless and lightweight design, for players Improvement of long game experience.

For example, for a game editor like me who lives alone, the bedroom is probably only a game area the size of a computer desk, which may be about 3m³. In such a play size, switching to a lightweight wireless device like G PRO has a very obvious optimization of the long-time play experience: it is more spacious and comfortable, and the device will not be tired after a long time.

Like the GPW2 mouse, it is already very “effort-saving”, and it will be more comfortable with the G PRO keyboard. The layout of the 87 keys of the G PRO keyboard is very “computer-friendly”, and it also reserves more room for the mouse to move. The stepped design with high surroundings and low middle, coupled with the low pressure of 45g, also slows down long-term use. Fatigue in the rear fingers.

Logitech has put forward a concept of “more than winning” before, and I think this is also the key to the reason why the G PRO series can be favored by ordinary players and e-sports players: the improvement of the performance parameters of peripherals naturally means for players Higher game winning rate; but in addition to winning or losing in the game, the advancement of peripheral technology should also significantly improve the player’s experience and physical experience in the game scene from the field to the home.

Perhaps, after getting off work and returning to the game nest at home, being able to have a comfortable enough 3m³ e-sports space is the most important purpose for everyone to buy peripherals.
