One key feature of this keyboard is that it has 26-key rollover and this means that you can press every single alphabetical key on the keyboard at the exact same time.

Mouse

The buttons offer custom-tensioning, so you can tune them to respond like a hair trigger, or to really require some weight behind each and every click. It comes with a lot of other features as well.

Headsets

Again there are a lots to choose from but what we suggest is that you go for a good one time investment in this category. So for this we have, Sennheiser GSP series headphones. Notably these are bit cheaper headsets compared to others from brands that are currently available in the market.

The headphones feature 7.1 Dolby surround sound, noise-cancelling microphone, and closed ear cup design with an adjustable split headband rather than the PC 373D's more solid and thicker continuous band. However, there is also headsets from Acer like the Acer Predator headset in the similar price range that is under Rs.10,000.

Controllers

Sometime there are games out there for which the best tool to use is the plain old controller. However, in such cases, it's important to have one of the best engineered controllers on the market. Thus Xbox One controller can be really handy.

The new controllers launched by Xbox One Recon Tech Special, dubbed as Xbox One controller can basically connect to your PC via a wired connection or over Bluetooth. The controller is comfortable to hold for long periods of time, and the soft tension behind the triggers offer the right amount of resistance so you can really make use of their pressure sensitivity.
