Out Of This World: Lightspeed FPS

One of what we think is one of the best gaming monitors around, this Alienware display boasts a 240hz refresh rate, 1ms response time, and a stunning IPS display.

The Alienware line is also super distinctive when it comes to design and features advanced ergonomics so you can adjust it into the best position for you.

A cracking monitor if we ever saw one, and one to watch out for in the sales too!

Hear Ye, Hear Ye: The King Of Headsets

Astro deliver the goods when it comes to serious audio, hence while you'll find them a frequent addition in our top headset picks for PS5 and Xbox Series X.

The Astro A40 has all the traits you'd expect from a quality headset - it's lightweight which comes in handy for longer gaming sessions and it's also quite rugged in design.

Where it comes into its own is its Audio V2 tuning though, which was made in collaboration with Pro Gamers themselves.

Impact: Go For Gold With This Alternative Option

Nick Mercs uses a pretty epic controller from Scuf gaming, that comes into its own thanks to its unique build.

The main feature with this Scuf Impact controller is that there are 4 paddles at the back of the controller which you can map on to different buttons. This allows you to keep your thumbs on the thumbsticks without losing valuable milliseconds when switching over to the usual buttons.

It's expensive sure...and a little weird to get used to we imagine, but well worth it in the long run.
