I have linked to the store where I purchased all my gear for my custom build. This store is awesome, I have been doing business with PC Case Gear for over 20 years, trust worthy and reliable service all the time. They also do pre built machines if you aren’t comfortable building your own. Check out my build guide video for any tips and tricks.

Peripherals

Logitech G213 Prodigy RGB Wired Keyboard

This has been an awesome keyboard. Great support from Logitech as well. Even though it is not the newest out there, Logitech has kept drivers up to date even for Windows 11.

You can customize the RGB lighting on the keyboard. There is presets or you can choose your own. You can also create profiles, so when your gaming only your WSAD keys light up. You do however need to download the Logitech software to do so.

The keystrokes are nice, you don’t need to mash the keys down. But it still has responsive triggers which makes typing a breeze on it.

Ironclaw RGB Wireless Mouse

I had some kinks when I first got this mouse. It wouldn’t work wirelessly and wouldn’t charge. After a couple of resets of my PC, and driver redownloads it has worked ever since. Its very comfortable to use and doesn’t feel weird in my tiny hands. You do need to download the Corsair software to change the RGB color. The software isn’t great.

Microphones

Logitech G733 Lightspeed Wireless RGB Gaming Headset

These headset are the most comfortable headset I have ever used. They are light and I haven’t suffered from neck pains or fatigue when wearing them. They are wireless which is an awesome convenience with around a 15-step range in either direction from the USB router. Providing there are no walls blocking the signal. The sound quality coming out is very clear and crisp and has a good audio level range, these things can get pretty loud if you want them to. For storage or packing them in your bag, you can easily remove the Microphone, so this doesn’t get damaged. The Microphone is clear and works really well for discord or in OBS. I primarily use my headset while recording my gaming video content on my Cheetah Gaming YouTube channel and also some tutorials on How to I.T.

BOYA BY-M1 3.5mm Lavalier Microphone

This mic is the one I use to record all my videos in my studio. It is just as easy has plug and play. You can use it in your smart phone and a DSLR camera.
