Hello gamers.
Couple months ago I started upgrading my gaming and streaming gear. I didn't want to make a post until it was fully complete, but now its time, finally I can share what I bought and share my honest opinion if it was worth the money. I invested into one of the best products which also resulted in me losing tons of money. Was it worth? I'm about to share it with you now!
Camera: Logitech StreamCam
I've spent 137 $ on it and I can say it was definitely worth its price. Once I turned this camera on, it blew my mind. I wasn't expecting such a high quality. Its basically as if I was looking at the mirror. Its so crazy. I'm really happy that now I can bring my content on a next level. I often stream/record at nights and even nights are not a big deal for this camera, it keeps insane quality no matter if its day or night. I definitely recommand it.
Microphone: HyperX Quadcast S
Here I spen't 135$ but my opinion is kinda mixed. I'm not saying its not good, people saying I sound really good now, but somehow I don't like a big object in front of my face. It kinda covers a little bit of space on the monitor and sometimes its annoying. If you don't like big objects that covers your screen - stick to the headset mic, however the quality difference between headset mic and HyperX Quadcast S makes a big difference. I glad I bought it for content, for streams and videos, its more upgrade for others than for myself, if not content creation. I would stick with poor quality but no big object in front of my face covering my screen.
Keyboard: LOGITECH G PRO X TKL Lightspeed
Here is a big money 247$. Honestly I bought it just because I wanted to have full wireless setup, but its not that big of a deal. With mouse it is, mouse feels a lot better without cable, but keyboard. I don't think that overpaying for wireless is a good choice.I went for brown switches, which ended up to fit my preferences. I really like this keyboard, its small, switches feel good and its wireless, buttons to stop/resume music and volume control are also in a good place. However I wouldn't recommand it for that price. If you can get it for a discount go ahead, if not just buy a cable version.
Mouse: Logitech G PRO X SuperLight 2
185$ was it worth this price? I would say if you play FPS games yes, cause if you play MMO maybe get something with more side buttons. Clicks feel very solid, scroll button is also solid, It offers wireless which is most important (its a huge upgrade, right now I feel like I couldn't use mouse that have cable, wireless is so comfortable) , 2000Hz pooling rate and the shape of mouse is insane. You wanna either go with SuperLight 2 or Razer Deathadder V3. There is not many choices. Those 2 are the best mices now. Both are wireless. Both are very light weight. You just have to decide what shape you like. I would say if you have big hands go with Razer, otherwise choose SuperLight 2.
Mousepad: Logitech G640
Atleast mousepads are cheap. 34$ spent here and so far I can say its nice. I used many mousepads and so far this one is my favorite. I don't know how to review it tho. It just feels great for me, its not getting dirty as fast as the SteelSeries mousepads. I think those 2 are the biggest yes for me.
Headset: Logitech G PRO X 2 Lightspeed
Next big thing 247$. I honestly think it was worth it. The most important thing here is wireless. Previously I used a cable ones and it annoyed me. Now I can go to toilet and still listen to my mates on discord. Its amazing. I really recommand those for wireless. The mic quality is also not bad if you don't want to invest into a separate microphone like I did. It has many cool options in Logitech Application, like voice changing, profiles etc and it fit my ears perfectly. It can adjust to any head shape.
Monitor: BenQ XL2566K 360Hz
620$ for this one. Was it worth? I would say no. In most cases you can't get a 360 FPS in games, unless you have insane PC. Even with insane PC its hard and even if you can get 360 fps, there is really no difference between 144 or 240hz. The thing I like about this monitor is the fact that you can adjust its height, you can move it left, right etc. The amount of angle customization is crazy and its base is very small, this way its not taking much space on the table. I would say if you like FPS games, go for BenQ monitor but not this one, not 360hz, just go for 240hz variant. It costs way less and offers everything the same except the fact its gonna be 240hz instead of 360 which is useless anyway. The 240hz variant is called 2540K and I would recommand this one instead of the one I bought it costs half the price and its basically the same. All that things are from a perspective of FPS player, if you like MMO games more I would say don't buy BenQ monitors and go for a 21:9 resolution monitor.
Additionally I love the fact that all my items are in one Application. Its easy to track the battery and all products charge battery very fast. I charge my stuff every 3-4 days by plugging it in for 1 hour while I'm doing my weight training. Overall I would say, except the monitor everything else was worth it. I think Logitech/Hyper X are the brands to go those days for gaming and content creating.
Definitely agree with having everything in one application. I had different brands for basically everything previously and having all those apps running is super annoying. Now I am Razer all the way although I can't say that I love Synapse since it's a super buggy piece of software.
The gear looks really good man and I am glad you are happy with most of it since it's quite a lot of money. Looking forward to seeing more content from you with the new gear! Sad to not see the knife in the post :( good luck dood! XD
Yea, too many weird apps can be definitely annoying. I never had a Razer stuff so I can't judge their app but yea.. sounds bad if its buggy :(
Thanks dood! I'm still thinking what single player games should I play, I lost Yakuza save files when doing windows reinstall so I have to find a new game. I think I'll stream some cs2 from time to time and maybe I'll make a video showcasing my skins since I already got full blue set :D So far I'm being extremly lazy lately to do anything
This setup is crazy, maybe some things are a bit overpriced as you say but everything looks with very good quality, I'm not that fan of wireless stuff, the only wireless thing I have is my mouse and it's very comfy, but I don't like that I have to replace the batteries, small details tbh.
I wish you the best with your new setup!
Thanks man! Yea wireless mouse is really comfy. The thing with batteries is, if you wanna be comfy with wireless you gotta pay a lot for the good quality stuff, cheap wireless things require to be careful with battery way more. I can charge mine stuff for 1 hour every 3-4 days and I'm fine.
The setup looks really nice bro! really good stuff nice to see! thanks for share.
Thanks man! I'm glad you like my setup.
Holy, 360 HZ, that's crazy haha. I agree with you, those high hz monitors have always seemed a bit unnecessary unless you play a lot of e-sports where it's relatively easy to get FPS, but that aside the monitor looks amazing and the fact that it can move and adjust to your liking is great. Congrats on everything bro.
yea man exactly, thanks !
