The kit filter: We've tracked down the gear pro-gamers use to git gud

All the kit to help you game like a professional.

A bad workman always blames their tools, so reads the old adage. The same is true in gaming; how many times have you slapped your mouse down in frustration because you're sure it's just cost you the win in Counter Strike or Valorant? Well, let's take the tools out of the equation and look at what the leading esports players are using themselves.

Of course, using the same gear as Faker isn't going to suddenly make you too a four-times League of Legends World Champion, but at the very least if you're matching the gaming setups that the professionals use you can't use that as an excuse. You're just going to have to use them to git gud.

Dave has been gaming since the days of Zaxxon and Lady Bug on the Colecovision, and code books for the Commodore Vic 20 (Death Race 2000!). He built his first gaming PC at the tender age of 16, and finally finished bug-fixing the Cyrix-based system around a year later. When he dropped it out of the window. He first started writing for Official PlayStation Magazine and Xbox World many decades ago, then moved onto PC Format full-time, then PC Gamer, TechRadar, and T3 among others. Now he's back, writing about the nightmarish graphics card market, CPUs with more cores than sense, gaming laptops hotter than the sun, and SSDs more capacious than a Cybertruck.
