They will drag any ice rink: 5 gadgets for e-sportsmen

The Xtrfy M4 RGB Wireless is a wireless mouse from a Swedish brand that specializes in gaming, or rather eSports devices. In terms of a polling rate of 1000 Hz and a response time of 1 ms, it is not inferior to wired counterparts. It has a built-in battery for approximately 75 hours of play (the exact time depends on the intensity of the RGB backlight), while weighing only 71 grams.

The battery also acts as a balancer: with the help of a complete screwdriver, it can be moved back and forth. Also included are replaceable Teflon feet, a soft USB Type-C EZcord Pro cable for charging while playing, and an adapter to bring the 2.4 GHz radio adapter closer to the user.

In the box, there was also a place for a removable back - flat or humpbacked, to whom it is more familiar in the hand. If you wish, you can print the back of your own shape on a 3D printer; for this, a drawing has been published on the official Xtrfy website. The mouse is suitable only for right-handers, as it has an asymmetric shape with two additional customizable keys for the thumb of the right hand.

The Xtrfy M4 RGB Wireless is based on a Pixart 3370 optical sensor with a resolution of 19,000 DPI and Kailh GM 8.0 mechanical switches that can withstand up to 80 million clicks. You don't even need to install software on your computer to set up RGB lighting, sensor resolution, hertz and lift-off height. All this is done with separate buttons on the bottom of the mouse.

Vertux RaftPad-Qi is a huge gaming surface or, in common parlance, a rug, edged around the perimeter with multi-color LED backlighting with touch control. The dimensions are 80x26 centimeters, thanks to which not only the mouse is placed, but also the keyboard, and not a stripped-down TKL, but a full-size one. This keeps the computer desk from wear and tear, and the hands from fatigue.

The rug is very soft and thick (7.5 mm), and even made of three layers. Below is pimply rubber, which certainly will not allow the carpet to slide on the table. In the center there is a soft porous filler, and on top there is a smooth fabric that does not absorb moisture and is easy to clean.

The type of coverage, perhaps, can be called something in between Speed (sliding) and Control (accurate). Fans of MOBA games (Dota 2, League of Legends) who need a high speed of moving the cursor from one edge of the screen to the other to move around the map will also be pleased. And fans of shooters (CSGO, PUBG), who need the ability to instantly stop the cursor for aimed shooting.

The icing on the cake for the Vertux RaftPad-Qi is built-in wireless charging. Its power is 15 watts, but a little less is transmitted to a directly charged device "through the air" - 72 percent. A typical computer USB port can only deliver 5 watts of power. Therefore, if you plan to charge your smartphone, it is wiser to connect the gaming surface to a power supply with a fast charging function. For backlighting, a standard PC port is also enough.

Dream Machines DreamKey is a minimalist-looking, one might even say ascetic, series of mechanical keyboards from the Polish brand. Made in completely black and when viewed from above, it seems to be devoid of even the inscriptions on the buttons. In fact, the inscriptions are located on the front end of the keys, directed towards the user. This approach helps to quickly learn touch typing.

There are two formats to choose from: a full-sized DreamKey and a compact DreamKey TKL without a numeric keypad on the right. In addition, three types of Kailh mechanical switches are offered - White, Brown and Red. All three with the Box index, that is, with protection against dust, food crumbs and accidentally spilled liquids.

“White” Kailh switches are analogous to Cherry MX Blue, that is, with a tactile and audible response. They are best suited for printing text in a separate room. "Brown" switches also have a tactile response, but are devoid of sound. Thanks to this, they are well suited for work in the office, so as not to distract colleagues. In addition, the Browns are slightly tighter, which eliminates accidental clicks.

Finally, the "red" microswitches are considered the most playful - linear travel with no tactile or audible feedback. Unless you hear the hit of the keycap on the metal base of the keyboard. The DreamKey keyboard withstands over 80 million keystrokes per button, comes with a detachable USB Type-C cable and Dream Machines proprietary RGB lighting and macro programming app.

The Marvo HG9053 is a stereo headset with an eye for gamers, while also handling electronic music and action movies well. Large speakers with a diameter of 50 mm with a wide frequency range of 20 - 20,000 Hz are responsible for the musical orientation. And for movies - a built-in sound card with support for virtual 7.1-channel 3D sound.

A light steel headband with a wide eco-leather overlay will not tire your head, thanks to which you can sit in headphones for at least a whole day. Of course, to prevent hearing problems, you need to pause. The ear cushions are made of eco-leather with soft foam filling. The ear is placed completely, providing good noise isolation.

Externally, the bowls are decorated with the manufacturer's logo in the form of a scorpion tail glowing in red. The bowls rotate freely in three directions to adapt to the anatomy of each individual user. The microphone with a flexible stem and a foam pop filter is made removable. And the built-in audio card programmatically eliminates extraneous noise during negotiations in multiplayer games.

Connects to Marvo HG9053 computer via 2m USB cable. On the cable is a convenient volume control, 3D-sound and microphone. Surround sound is best manifested in shooter and horror games. In the first case, you can clearly hear from which side the enemy is attacking, and in the second case, the suspense intensifies.

GT Racer X-8007 is de jure a gaming chair, but de facto suitable for working on a PC. Due to the relatively high height of the seat in the raised position (57 cm, Eurostandard 4-class gas lift) and the high flat back (90 cm) without a protrusion under the neck, it is well suited even for tall users (up to 2 m). Able to withstand a load of up to 150 kg, which is achieved by the steel frame of the chair itself and the steel cross of the wheels.

The MultiBlock swing mechanism is one of the most reliable and durable, so it is often installed even in more expensive chairs. Instead of a rigid wood board, shock-absorbing fabric slings are used. And as a filler, high-density foam with a memory effect is used. All this is covered with three-layer eco-leather with a textured carbon look finish.

The backrest has both lumbar spine support for correct posture and lateral support for maximum user relaxation. Similar lateral support is present on the seat. Wide soft 4D armrests can be adjusted in several directions at once: height, width, reach back and forth and angle of rotation.

If desired, the backrest can be folded back 180 degrees, thereby turning the chair into an impromptu lying place. The GT Racer X-8007 weighs more than 20 kg, and the diameter of the cross is 70 cm, so you don’t have to worry that you accidentally roll over when you doze off. The wheels are, of course, rubberized to reduce noise and respect the laminate floor.
