Gaming on a PC can be an awesome way to spend time, if you have the right stuff. Many times, gamers looking to take their skills to the next level find themselves plateauing and unable to make that next leap. The good news it, it might not be your fault.
You may be short-changing yourself because you just don’t have the right accessories to help your game out. Hopefully you have all of the hardware you need to keep up with today’s gaming experiences, but you may still need a few things to help you out. Here are three important PC accessories that you may want to look into.
Multiple Monitors
If you are big into first-person shooters, then having two or three monitors may help your gaming out tremendously.
By having multiple monitors, you will have a greater field of virtual vision, meaning that you will be able to see more of the board you are on at any given time. This can help prevent another player from sneaking up on you and may help you spot something you would’ve missed otherwise.
A multiple monitor setup can be a little expensive, however, so make sure that you will benefit from having one. If you don’t think that a wider field of vision will help you all that much, then there are still other things you should consider to help out.
The Right Mouse
Having the right mouse is crucial for serious gamers. Not only does a true computer gaming mouse put all of the important buttons and features at your fingertips for quick reaction, but it can also help fight hand and wrist fatigue.
The last thing you’d want during a game is to find your reaction time slowing down because your wrists are sore. A good gaming mouse will be ergonomic and fit nicely into your hand, making it easy to call commands while keeping your hand and wrist feeling great. This will help you keep your edge against other gamers and help prevent typical gaming injuries like carpal tunnel.

Gaming Glasses
Eye strain from staring at a monitor for too long can also be a real problem for serious gamers. Not only can this give you headaches, it can cause you pain even when your aren’t gaming because the muscles in your eyes remain tense.
Gaming glasses are a great way to fight eye strain and fatigue. They are lightweight and resemble sports sunglasses, but they have a protective tinting on the lenses that help filter out excess light. They are also coated with a film that reduces glare. They will help keep your eyes feeling fresh and relaxed and prevent any strain-related headaches that can derail your game in a hurry.
Gaming glasses can be found in many different styles and colors as well as price range, so you can try a cheap set out first before going for the expensive sets.

I don’t like multiple monitors, I hate the small space between the monitors, so I personally don’t use them. I would prefer to use a big monitor that use multiple monitors.
For gaming mouses, you are absolutely right. Especially since a good gaming mouse, not only is more comfortable and reactive, it is also more solid compared to a cheap mouse. Also, the grip and the size of your hands is a crucial factor for choosing the right one.
I have never heard about gaming glasses. I didn’t even know they existed. I’m using glasses (I have myopia) and they have protection against blue light, so I think gaming mouses do the same, right?
when it comes to consistency in performance, infrared is better at that too along with its ability to function on most surfaces, unlike laser, which requires a mouse pad. The only redeeming characteristic of the laser sensor mouse is its high DPI.
