Keyboards are a vital peripheral for PC users, and regardless of your budget it's important to pick the right one. The most important consideration is what sort of feel you want. For instance, most cheaper keyboards use dome switches mounted on top of a membrane, giving very little tactile feedback. You may want to consider choosing a keyboard with mechanical switches as these provide much greater tactile feedback. Mechanical switches are available in different grades, denoted by a colour - black, brown and blue for instances and each has its own set of characteristics.

These keyboards are not intended for specialist gaming use and are connected to your PC by Bluetooth wireless technology.

A gaming headsets is a must have item for every gamer, not only as an alternative to speakers for late night gaming sessions, but also the built in microphone enables you to coordinate with teammates or taunt enemies online. Not only that, but most headphones provide better positonal order than speakers, so you're better able to judge if somebody is on your own left or right.

Wireless gaming heasets connect to your PC using either WiFi or Bluetooth dongle. This means that unlike a wired gaming headset you don't need to worry about being tethered to your PC, although the batteries inside the headset will need charging from time to time.
