Mad Bomber's Picks
Here's the problem with most gear guides: they're paid placements dressed up as opinions. These aren't. This is what I actually use or would actually buy.
Top Picks
Featured Gear
SteelSeries Arctis Nova Pro
Dual-wireless, active noise cancellation, and a hot-swap battery system. This is the headset I actually use. The audio positioning in Squad is genuinely better with this thing.

Logitech G Pro X Superlight 2
60 grams. HERO 2 sensor. Zero drag cable (because there is no cable). If you're still using a wired mouse in 2024, here's the problem.

LG 27GP850-B 27" 1440p 165Hz
1440p at 165Hz is the sweet spot for tactical gaming. High enough resolution to see threats at distance, fast enough refresh to track movement. This is what I run.

HyperX Cloud Alpha
Budget pick that doesn't feel budget. Dual-chamber drivers give it better audio separation than headsets twice the price. Good entry point.

Razer DeathAdder V3
Ergonomic shape, Focus Pro 30K sensor, 59g. If you have larger hands and want a wired option that won't break the bank, this is the call.
Check Price →Keyboards
Corsair K70 RGB Pro
Cherry MX Red switches, aluminum frame, dedicated media controls. Solid tactical keyboard. The RGB is there if you want it, ignorable if you don't.
Check Price →Monitors
LG 27GP850-B 27" 1440p 165Hz
1440p at 165Hz is the sweet spot for tactical gaming. High enough resolution to see threats at distance, fast enough refresh to track movement. This is what I run.
Check Price →Chairs
Secretlab TITAN Evo
I've had mine for three years. Still holds up. The lumbar support is adjustable and actually works. Worth the price if you're spending serious hours in the chair.
Check Price →Games
Squad (Steam)
The most realistic military FPS available. If you haven't played it, you're missing out. Buy it on sale if you can — it goes on sale regularly.
