Here, we take a look at some of the most exciting gaming gadgets currently on the market in 2022. Each pushes the limits of their relative sectors and aims to provide the best possible gaming experience money can buy.
Razer Huntsman V2 Mechanical Keyboard
For PC gaming there is no single gadget more valuable to a serious gamer than a good, preferably mechanical, keyboard. A good keyboard can mean the difference between success or failure in competitive gaming. This is due to the fact that the keyboard is your primary input device which not only takes care of movement controls but lets you access additional game functions quickly. Most gaming keyboards also offer the ability to map hot-keys and button sequences onto the keyboard’s layout, letting you execute combinations of in-game actions in the shortest possible time. Without a doubt, the best gaming keyboard on the market today is Razer’s Huntsman V2. This mechanical keyboard confers all the advantages people have come to expect from a true mechanical keyboard, with tactile feedback and rapid input times. In typical Razer fashion, this keyboard has a series of unique innovations in its design that lead it to stand out from the pack.
The Huntsman V2’s keys all have 360 degree actuation, which means that they can register unique inputs from multiple directions, as if each key was its own d-pad or controller thumb-stick. Not only does this increase the number of options available to players for movement input, but it lets each distinct direction be mapped to a specific function. Similarly, the Huntsman V2 has two stepped levels of actuation on each key which can also be mapped to distinct commands. This enables you to switch between, or move through, a sequence of commands all with the press of the same button. This is all rounded off with Razer’s impressive Chroma RGB lighting system and comprehensive configuration software, making it the final word in competitive gaming keyboards.
Humanscale Freedom Chair
A good chair is an essential component for your set up, whether you’re playing DOTA or a round of poker. There are plenty of impressive gaming chairs on the market, but if you’re after ideal ergonomics you should look no further than Humanscale’s new Freedom Chair. In bringing smart technology into the realm of reclining, the Humanscale eschews the need for the various gears and levels we’ve come to associate with ergonomic seating solutions. Instead, the Freedom Chair uses a series of motorized servos to dynamically adjust its shape to suit the ideal ergonomic profile of your body. This bespoke comfort comes with a price however, with the Freedom Chair creeping in at a little over $1000.
Asus ROG Phone 5S Pro
Smartphone gaming has quietly come of age over the past few years thanks to the hardware efforts of popular computer gaming manufacturers like Lenovo, Razer and Asus, who have each been putting out specialized high performance gaming phones. The latest from Asus, under their legendary “Republic of Gamers” sub-brand, is the ROG Phone 5S Pro. This phone features all the latest and greatest smartphone hardware including Qualcomm’s immense Snapdragon 888 Plus, the most powerful mobile processor currently on the market. The ROG Phone 5S Pro also leads the pack with a huge 6000mAh battery for marathon gaming sessions that, thanks to its 65w fast charging, can recharge to 70% in only 30 minutes, and 100% in just over 50. This monster battery has resulted in over 28 hours of continuous video playback in tests.
The 5S Pro also hosts dual front-facing speakers, 18GB of RAM and a 6.78 inch AMOLED display. As is increasingly common among flagship devices, this display has a high refresh rate that comes in at 144hz, significantly faster than business devices like the Samsung S21 Ultra, with its 120hz display. Asus rounds this package off with a range of innovative and exciting after-market peripherals such as attachable game-pads, cooling fans and battery packs, which places this device more in competition with the likes of the Nintendo Switch Lite than the iPhone.
