Gaming mouse and keyboards are essential peripherals for any serious gamer.

They typically have a higher DPI (dots per inch) than regular mice, which means that they can track movement more accurately. They also have programmable buttons that can be used for macros or other in-game functions.

Some of the additional features of a gaming mouse include a significantly higher DPI and highly ergonomic designs, which favor precise grips and finger movement.

Wireless mice offer more freedom of movement, but they can also introduce latency (lag) into gaming experience. Wired mice are generally more responsive, but they can be tethered to the computer by a cable.

Gaming keyboards also have features like anti-ghosting, which means that multiple keys can be pressed simultaneously without registering errors.Mechanical keyboards come in a variety of switch types, each with its own unique feel and sound. Common switch types include Cherry MX Red, Cherry MX Blue, and Cherry MX Brown.

Gaming keyboards come in a variety of sizes, from full-size keyboards with a numeric keypad to ten keyless keyboards without a numeric keypad to compact keyboards that are designed for portability. Many gaming keyboards also have added backlighting, which can be helpful for gaming in low-light conditions.
