DanTheGamer Posted June 13 Share Posted June 13 Anytime computer hardware is branded as "gaming" at all, I always get suspicious of 1.) Am I being overcharged for this now or 2.) is this going to be garbage. What's your experience been with this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
killamch89 Posted June 21 Share Posted June 21 Same. It's usually overhyped and overpriced and most times, not worth the premium cost. Take for instance, RGB chairs - What even is the purpose of such a piece of furniture and how much will it really improve your gaming performance or experience?

Lens Posted July 26 Share Posted July 26 The "gaming" label can be a bit of a red flag for me too. Basically, I just think that it's essential to look beyond the marketing and actaully try to focus on the actual specs and performance as well. .

Anders Posted July 26 Share Posted July 26 I think one of the only pieces of PC hardware that actually needs the "gaming" distinction is mice, as gaming mice will normally have features that a normal office mouse does not have. Sure, it is certainly possible to game with a normal mouse, but you will probably have a better experience using one that is designed for gaming. I believe my Ikea desk is also branded as a gaming desk, but that just means that it has built in cable management. No tacky RGB lights in sight.

The precision and ergonomic design is what I look for because it enhance my gaming experience. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lens Posted September 14 Share Posted September 14 (edited) @AndersYour Ikea desk sounds like a great example of a functional design. For me, the cable management is a must, no need for flashy RGB lights. Edited September 14 by Lens Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
