Introduction:
There
are two types of games: die-hard gamers and non-gamers. Die hard gamers are
people who use a particular game for so many years that they can’t imagine a
life without it. They may even have multiple copies of the same game on their
shelves. Non-gamers are people who don’t play games (unless they happen to like
one).
There
is a huge market of people playing games. But here’s the problem: only a tiny
percentage of them are using the proper accessories. The rest are using things
that aren’t even effective at all — or worse, things that make the game worse.
We have
more than 30 years of experience in the gaming business, making and selling
high quality gaming accessories for over 20 years. We know what works, what is
worth its weight in gold, and what will do more damage than good when used
incorrectly or too often.
Our
products range from bumper stickers for your car to computer keyboards and
controllers, to mousepads and wristbands with unique designs that show your
commitment to gaming at a promotional price. Our products include keychains and
buttons, mouse pads and wristbands, mouse mats and wrist rests with mousepads
(that move!), mouse stands with or without wheels (for those who don’t like
table-top mice), laser pointers – but we can also make you an original custom
item!
Our
goal is to make gaming accessories affordable so everyone has access to quality
products at low prices – regardless of whether they love video games or not! If
you want something like a custom-made gamer headband that says “GOD” on it (or
anything else you can think up) – go ahead! We guarantee it will look amazing!
The
best gaming accessories for PC gamers.
We all
like PC gaming. It’s a seductive market with a wide variety of options, and the
best accessories for your gaming needs. In this post, we’ll look at the best gaming CPU peripherals for 2018 that are guaranteed to help you get the most out of
your games.
When it
comes to buying a new set of PC peripherals, we should start by looking at what
type of game you are playing. There is no point in spending more money on a
mouse if you are playing World of Warcraft or Diablo III, so do some research
before you buy and see what types of games require specific types of
accessories. For example, if you want to play Call of Duty or Battlefield,
investing in a mouse with an optical sensor will help with accuracy and
movement speed. On the other hand, if you want to play Counter-Strike: Global
Offensive (CS: GO), an ergonomic keyboard will be required in order to reach
your full potential.
Next, let's take a look at the cheapest and best mice for each type of game (and note
what games these two mice are most suited for). We'll also go over which
keyboards offer the best bang for the buck as well as which headsets offer support
for multiple devices including mice and keyboards. We'll consider people who
have small wrists/hands but still want/need support as well as people who have huge
wrists/hands but don't need anything (such as gamers).

this helpful guide helps readers decide which gaming accessories they need and
saves them money! At TechRaptor we sacrifice everything to make our readers

The
best gaming accessories for console gamers.
There
are many different components that go into buying a gaming console. The gaming graphics card, the CPU, the motherboard, the memory, and so on. These are all
important aspects of the console; but there is one component that doesn’t get
enough attention — and that is the headphones.
The
reason we hardly mention them is that they can often be an afterthought to
other components. They don’t need to be anything fancy (unless you want
“fancy”) or show-offy (unless you want a “show-offy” look), just decent enough
to listen to sound content without having your ears bleed.
But
there is one kind of headphone that can make all the difference: for
audiophiles that want something with great fidelity and high quality bass
response in their headphones, there are some headsets available that go under
a similar name as “headphones” but do not fall under this category. They tend
to be marketed towards PC gamers who prefer PC gaming headsets over audio/mic
peripherals or even regular computer speakers.
I
consider myself an audiophile who likes gaming on consoles more than PC; I have
played many games on various platforms, mostly PS4 and Xbox One, though
recently I got back into playing games on my Wii U. I use a handful of wireless
headphones from Logitech G3 series which are excellent for gaming (and even my
MP3 player). Those for PS4 and Xbox One tend to be aimed at people who want
high fidelity audio rather than those who want something cheap enough for
casual gaming like me.
These
days I am considering upgrading my set due to its age, but let me also note two
things about headphones:
1.)
These devices tend to be very sensitive and will break down if you do not give
them ample care or continue using them after they become damaged or worn out.
It is best to buy a decent set at least once in their lifetime (or when your
budget allows it) so you don’t have any issues later on down the line. 2.) If
you are serious about listening to music in your headphones, then try playing
around with some new earbuds while watching movies or TV shows – try getting
surround sound effects out of your TV! :)
The
best gaming accessories for mobile gamers.
Mobile
gaming has become a multi-billion dollar industry in the last few years. The
growth and success of mobile gaming have been driven by a number of key factors:
1.
Features (e.g. mini-games, social features)
2.
Accessibility (e.g. low cost devices)
3.
Content (e.g., free or premium games)
4.
Popularity in terms of users (e.g., Instagram/Twitter and games based on
free-to-play model)
5.
Products with high quality, durability, and ergonomic design – "Made for
mobile" brand name is synonymous with a solid performance in terms of
hardware and software quality
The
best gaming accessories for hardcore gamers.
This is
an attempt to list the best gaming accessories, and explore what makes them so
good. For the sake of brevity, we’ll only cover a handful of the most popular
types.
1)
Mouse Pad – A mouse pad is something that sits between your mouse and your
desktop. The shape, size, and material all play a role in how well it works.
The idea here is that you aren’t just slapping a surface on your desk to get
some more space to play with — you’re actually using it as a platform for any
number of things:
a) To
facilitate movement (and thus accuracy)
b) To
make sure your mouse doesn’t slip when you are moving around
c) To
enhance (or even provide visual feedback from) key elements of gameplay
d) To
provide extra padding so that you don’t have to worry about any glancing blows
e) To
create friction so that the mouse movements won’t feel like they are happening
too fast or too slow
f) To
simply improve your life by making typing/mouse control easier and more
comfortable. If you are buying a mouse pad for someone else, be sure to
consider:
a)
Whether they need it as an accessory or whether they already have one on their
desk (even if it is just in their hand). Seriously consider this before buying
one for yourself!
b) How
often do they use their computer (there will be times when they will need extra
support). For example: if they go out to play video games during the day, then
there may not be enough time for them to use a separate surface every single
day. Or if they do lots of video editing at work during the day, for example,
then there may not be appropriate surface protection available at work. Many
people prefer using an office product with a minimal amount of visual clutter
around them (for example: “I prefer my keyboard/mouse combo with minimal
distractions from other stuff on my desk than I do without it).
c) What
kind of gamer typically uses their monitor? Is it primarily FPS players? Is it
primarily MMO players? Is it primarily RTS players? Are these types of gamers who
spend lots of time playing solo or do these gamers like playing with others?

The
best gaming accessories for casual gamers.
Why are
the best gaming accessories on this list? Because they’re advertised as being
great for gaming, and they work well. They’re also marketed in a way that
caters to the interests of casual gamers.
Some
gaming accessories are better than others, but many don’t do what they say on
the tin — or worse, do what you want them to do. In fact, if you want a gamer
to be happy with his or her setup, then you need to work a little bit harder
than most other industries.
That’s
why we made this list: because we think that the very best gaming accessories
for casual gamers should not be overpriced or overhyped — and should be easy
enough for anyone to use.
We felt
like even some of the more obvious “best” products were still missing from our
list (Razer Mamba speakers and Logitech G9x headsets), so we took a look at
some of the lesser-known products that are top-rated by just about every review
site out there. We then ranked them based on ease of use (they had to perform
above average), value (they have to offer advanced features at low prices),
quality (they have to last during extended play), and design (they have to have
interesting shapes).
The
result is the best gaming accessories for casual gamers. They deserve an
honorable mention because they aren’t quite as good as they could be (or even
as good as your joints will allow), but they are still fantastic products that
can make major improvements in your gaming setup.
