If you want to play more casual, you need special gaming hardware for it, because it enhances your skill immediatelly. With such an equipment you can do more under a very better control. This stuff really makes the difference!
In this article, we will show you how to get those equipment, that are good at all, but don't cost much.
What do you need for such a setup?
Good question! You need the following things:
Keyboard
An mechanical keyboard enhances your skills while playing, because you get a much better feedback and a much better / clearer pressure feedback.
And the best thing: No more not recognized key strokes. Mechanical keyboards offers an anti ghosting effect, which means every pressed key is recognized as such, without any doubt. This is, because the key recognization differs from rubberdome keyboards: They recognize the key strokes using an matrix and probability calculus. So, this means you do not have an own recognization on each key, instead, you have a few key section fields, which is then calculated, which key was exactly been pressed in this field. So, if you press many keys which are close to each other, it could happen, that the keyboard does not recognize all of it. That's called the ghosting effect. And this a no go in gaming. You need there every single key recognized each time you pressed it. That's why you need a mechanical keyboard: They do not have this effect, because every key is recognized there on its own, so no matrix section fields. Moreover this keyboard type offers also other advantages: You have a better and clearer pressure feedback, because of its mechanical character. You press a true feather, instead of rubber, which do not offer a clear pressure point. Also, in theory you could press all characters and all are recognized. Well, in theory. You can do this only using a PS/2 connection. If you use an USB connection to the computer you mostly have 10 keys, which can be recognized simultaniosly.
Well, yes, mechanical keyboards cost more than a rubberdome. But it lives also longer. So if you buy one mechinacal, it's like you buy 10 rubberdome keyboards. So, you don't waste more money, you just buy instead 10 at once. Seeing it from this side, it's a good investment.
Here are my buy tip (cheap, good and solid basic mechanical keyboard): https://amzn.to/2ITxM5c
Mouse
You need also a good gaming mouse, because you get a better adjustable feedback, which can be pixel exact. My tip is here a mouse at 1080p resolution with at least 1800 dpi at 50 Hz polling rate. Razer offers good products in this field.
If you want just to concrete on plain gaming, you don't need 20 extra keys. So take a look at this mouse: https://amzn.to/2xfUwep
Or this one, if you like a more modern version: https://amzn.to/2ISqfna
Mouse pad
As a true gamer, you need also a good and solid mouse pad, which helps you at pointing pixel exact.
Razer could help you at this point, too: https://amzn.to/2kumt9f
Or, if you want a cheeper one, this mouse pad from steel series is also a good choice: https://amzn.to/2IS4nII
Headset
A good Headset is especially important for fist person shooter games. Because there you need to exactly localize your enemies with your ears. So, a good sound is important. Also, your team mates need a clear voice. In most cases, a stereo headset for a maximium of 70 Euros is enough here.
If you are want to stay at a cheap price and if you are at a low to middle skill level, this is your headset: https://amzn.to/2xYN9Zf
If you want to spend a bit more money for a little bit better headset, this is your choice: https://amzn.to/2HEGZNA
If you are a Razer fan, or if you like this brand more, this is your headset: https://amzn.to/2JEtgvh
Headsets are a bit of personally feeling and flavors. So, it's up to you here. What matters at headsets are the sound quality (how high or deep can this headset go with the sound frequenzy), the ear pad finish (a better one could bring a better sound feeling and / or more noise canceling from outside noises) and of course the microphone quality: A better background noise isolation is better for team communicating while playing.
In my opinion, you should'nt waste money on dolby sorround headsets, since this would'nt work for you as you might expect it. Because as individual as human beings are, there ear canal is as well individual. That means, that a 70 Euro dolby sorround headset can't be optimized to your ear canal. So, it's just a fool. Your brain will learn that sorround sound and map it to the real feeling.
There are really expensive headsets, that offers a real surround sound as you feel it in real world. Of course they are adjustable to your ear canal, but as I said, really expensive. Not under 20000 Euros, including the adjusting device.

Note: You could also buy a display with low latency (black to white switching and back again) time, but as a usually gamer, you won't notice 5 ms latency. However, only professional gamers would recognize that. They usually play at a maxium of 3 ms. If it's possible, you should use display port connection over HDMI, because with using display port you could get better view results. It can do the same at a lower frequenzy rate, so there is room for improvement.
