Top 5 High End Gaming Accessories
We’ve been stuck at home for almost half a year now, and if you’re like us at Esports Inquirer, you might be spending your days with your eyes glued to your monitor playing video games non-stop. Your decade-old home PC or trusty school laptop may satisfy your gaming needs just fine, but you probably can’t help but daydream about having the hottest gaming accessories at your disposal every once in a while.
We feel the same way, so here’s a list of the top 5 gaming peripherals we want to try.
Logitech G Pro Wireless

Arguably the lightest wireless gaming mouse on the market, it boasts a 1 ms report rate and 16,000 maximum DPI. If that isn’t enough to convince you, the Logitech G Pro Wireless is also the mouse of choice of popular Valorant streamers Spencer “Hiko” Martin and Michael “shroud” Grzesiek.

Corsair K95 RGB Platinum XT
The Corsair K95 RGB Platinum XT isn’t dubbed the Holy Grail of mechanical keyboards for nothing. Armed with a comfortable wrist rest, PBT Double-shot keycaps, and Elgato Stream Deck support, it’s a must-have piece of equipment for hardcore gamers and streamers alike.

Every single one of its keys is also programmable using dedicated software, with six macro keys thrown onto the leftmost side for good measure. If you still aren’t convinced, of course, the Corsair K95 RGB Platinum XT has customizable RGB lighting.

Oculus Rift S
If you want to take your gaming experience to a whole new level, the Oculus Rift S will open up a plethora of new worlds for you to explore. The virtual reality genre has steadily grown in the past few years and getting the Rift S is the perfect ticket to get you in on the hype train.

The Oculus Rift S is incredibly light and surprisingly easy to set up. It also has a single display resolution of 2,560 x 1,440 with a refresh rate of 80 Hz. And in case you weren’t aware, there are hundreds of VR games in the market, so you don’t have to worry about getting stuck with Beat Saber.

Predator Thronos Air
A throne fit for a king, the Predator Thronos Air looks like it was ripped off a spaceship command center. With three monitors hanging from a motorized arc covering your entire line of sight, the setup makes for truly a one-of-a-kind experience.

The motorized cockpit can also allow you to adjust your gaming position as you please (as far as a 130-degree recline), but the Thronos Air’s solid steel structure will make moving it around quite the struggle. If you’re getting body pains from the long gaming sessions, you can always count on the Thronos’ built-in massage function to ease some tension off your shoulders.
