Gaming Gear - What to Upgrade First?

2016-10-27
what's up guys I'm Dimitri with our Canucks and a lot of gaming gear has passed through my hands and it's a privilege to be able to experience all the new mais all the keyboards all the new headsets and over time I've sort of compiled my perfect gaming set and that got me thinking out of the three which should receive most attention from your wallet the z9 neo-byzantine features on a budget with a large windowed side panel five included fans and the excellent interior layout with super simple cable management get it now link in the description below so my gaming setup consists of the large stick Pro Mouse really love the weight and the size is perfect then the keyboard is the corsair k70 RGB rapid-fire with MX speed switches this is primarily why I use this keyboard because that is one fine switch and by far the most precious product in this gaming lineup is the San Heiser HD 800 with their mod mic 4.0 attachment and this setup has evolved over time with tkl keyboards wireless mice that i've used in the past but my audio was almost always the more expensive piece of gear obviously as a conscious consumer you would prioritize on what matters to you the most in game I would prioritize on a gaming mouse and audio in my set having bad aim is extremely frustrating especially if it's caused by some hardware bad switches poor ergonomics and let alone a poor sensor for example that all sort of diminishes your gaming experience so you got to start with a good Mouse first and I have been very happy with the Logitech pro and the wire g4 two mice that are the same price at 69 bucks and if you cheap out on a mouse it will surely reflect how you aim and really if you're having a good time or not and interestingly our Gaming Mouse reviews have received quite the viewership and two of our mice videos remain in the top most of you content ever on our channel which is pretty incredible to to think about and makes me think that gaming mice are possibly the most crucial piece of gear in your gaming collection which also happens to be the least expensive because gaming mice usually cheaper than keyboards and cheaper than gaming headsets keyboards on the other hand are a little bit different and our obsession with mechanical switches promotes this huge demand and thoughts gaming is now very much tied to mechanical keyboards but from my experience would like a rubber dome keyboard you can still perform very well with keystrokes and be satisfied in game the more expensive keyboards you buy just personalize the experience a little bit more with different designs RGB lighting so many flavours of switches which is that crucial part for the keyboard but I feel that is one piece of gear that you can save money on or at least hold out until your mouse and audio pieces are the best for you and this is where I bring out the HD 800 and emphasize just how much OPD are but they give me a really good reference point for audio and after running them with my mod mic 4.0 set up having stellar audio is that next big thing for me to enjoy my games aside from having an awesome Mouse audio engines are becoming so good right now but like Battlefield one sound effects and engine is amazing you can hear every single little detail and it would be a shame to tame that sound signature with a poor headset so I would definitely prioritize on audio before I move on to a mechanical keyboard my recommendation right now lies with a game series from Sennheiser the game one in particular which is an open style design and is my go-to headset right now seriously it's the most comfortable pair of headsets that I have ever owned with an awesome sound signature that brings out any environment to life the microphone quality on this pair is fantastic it's almost like the industry-leading benchmark on how a microphone should sound on the gaming headset but what exactly do you sacrifice going with a more budget solution so here we have the new Logitech G 231 at $69 and from an audio perspective they actually sound pretty decent giving a bass lift while maintaining a detailed treble and nice resolution but you can feel their value-oriented through the creaky plastic construction totally distracting cable noise that travels directly into the left ear cup with I would say two distant inline remote or the washable but quiet unpleasant surface material on the cushions themselves this is that compromise you should avoid with budget gaming gear especially when it comes to headsets the microphone quality on the GT 31 is actually pretty decent that was so surprised to hear that it's clear it's not nasally in any way it doesn't cancel out much of the background noise but it's fine I guess it's not as boomy as the game one microphone but very very passable good job Logitech I hear the plastic argument quite often related to something that is cheap something that should be avoided but plastic is awesome because it's light and you can wear something that is light for many many hours on end without introducing any head fatigue it's the lower end headsets that are made of plastic that set the bad precedent for higher end quality plastic headsets and where is that balance it's unfortunate the g2 31 is comfortable to wear but it misses many of the align and underlying quality features that we are expected to see and this is actually quite the common trend for audio products which is why I encourage prioritization on Mouse and audio first for your gaming gear but there are actually a few outliers like the new $50 HyperX finger make sure to check out our review which sounds great and actually addresses the build quality concerns at such a low price so big thumbs up here and I hope this has been helpful for those wondering how to partition their budget for gaming gear and I'm curious to see if any of you are like me who prioritize on a good aim and excellent audio I'm Dimitri with how are Canucks thanks so much for watching we'll see you in the next video
