Up Your In-game Performance By Upgrading Your Peripherals

The right gaming gear can be the difference between prodigy or pwned.

Games are a serious matter. A split-second delay or imprecise input can be a matter of life or death—or at least severely impact your KD ratio. Standard keyboards and mice, like the ones that come packed-in with PCs, are designed to be jacks of all trades—and masters of none. They’re fine for opening emails and Internet browsing, but if you’re lining up a headshot in Battlefield 1, dealing with World of Warcraft cool-down times, or hammering multiple commands in League of Legends, you’re playing at a major disadvantage.

Three Barriers to Brilliance

There’s a laundry list of factors that can impact in-game performance, ranging from PC hardware components to the quality of an Internet connection. Many of these factors may be beyond many gamers’ ability to immediately or inexpensively address, but three common performance issues can be remedied by simply upgrading the keyboard, mouse, and headset.

The G213’s anti-ghosting capability means that essential key inputs don’t disappear.

Do you frequently find yourself missing split-second grenade-tosses or weapon switches? The performance problem might not be you; it could be ghosting. Standard keyboards can’t cope with many simultaneous button-press combos and simply “ghost” commands away into the ether. Your command inputs never even register. Logitech’s recently released Prodigy series G213 Gaming Keyboard addresses this issue with an anti-ghosting matrix that allows command inputs four times faster than a standard keyboard.

The G403 delivers response times up to 8 times faster than a standard mouse.

It’s the same story with mice. Entry-level mice have low cost sensors with slow response times, which is fine for most PC uses but a serious problem in the heat of competition. The Prodigy series G403 Gaming Mouse features a one-millisecond response time and is a whopping eight times faster than standard mice. The G403’s sensor is so fast and precise that it is used by some of the best professional eSports players on the planet.

The competitive advantage of the G231 headset comes through crystal clear.

Sound is just as important as visuals when playing today’s advanced games. Audio acuity can mean the difference between picking up the footsteps of an approaching Call of Duty enemy or getting a knife in the back. The Logitech G231 Prodigy Gaming Headset uses 40mm Neodymium drivers to deliver clear, precise sound without the Unobtainium-level price tag.

The Path to Prodigy

PC games are more fast-paced and intense than ever. Each input and reaction can mean the difference between survival and victory or doom and defeat. Logitech’s Prodigy series of gaming peripherals offers advanced performance technologies and advantageous design at a competitive price. It’s the perfect solution for enthusiast gamers looking to take their in-game performance to the next level.
