A raid leader’s headset shorts out. They can no longer hear his commands, so they miss a critical mechanic and wipe. In just a few seconds, hours of progress and practice go down the toilet.

She’s on her last match in her promo series. If she wins this, she moves up to diamond. It all comes down to one final team fight. At a critical moment, her keyboard fails to register her input, and the match is over as soon as it began.

One headshot is all he needs to win. Unfortunately for him, his mouse has other ideas. He can’t line up his shot quickly enough, but his opponent can---he’s forced to watch helplessly as his near-victory is torn from his grasp.

We’ve all experienced something similar at one point or another. A faulty scroll wheel, a dead key, a shorted USB cable, and suddenly, we’re staring down the specter of defeat. It’s an experience that speaks to an important immutable truth.

Where gaming is concerned, it isn’t just your rig that matters. It’s the peripherals you attach to it. Your mouse and keyboard. Your headset, microphone, and monitors. Your desk, your chair, your speakers.

Everything.

Especially if you intend to game competitively, every piece of gear makes a difference. Each peripheral can be the difference between victory and defeat. You must make the right choice in your purchases, buying equipment you can count on---but more importantly, equipment that looks good and feels good to use.

You don’t need to break the bank to do so, either. You can shop smart. Look for the right offers. To that end, digital marketplace BZfuture has some great deals going on several top-tier peripherals.
