Player, ready?

Level up your gaming experience with our pick of next level tech and accessories 

With British Esports on the lookout for new talent to take part in the British Esports Student Champs, a series of exciting competitive video gaming competitions for students aged 12+ in schools and colleges across the UK, we find the kit to help you level up. 

<1> Light it up
Too bright? Screen glare. Too dim? Eye strain. Get it just right, and your lighting will promote focus and enhance the immersive feel of your gaming experience. The Philips Hue Play Light Bar and Play Gradient Lightstrip provide soft, colourful light that changes in response to your in-game environment. 

<2> Listen up
When you’re battling it out in an online tournament, every footstep and pin pull counts. Designed with pro gamers, the Logitech G Pro X 2 Lightspeed Wireless Gaming Headset features 50mm graphene drivers for a truly immersive soundscape. With super-soft ear pads and up to 50 hours of battery life on its side, it’ll hold out until the battle’s won. 

<3> Rest up
If long stints at your rig leave you with mouse arm, a wrist rest could give you the support you need to game without pain. Available in two sizes, the Tecware TKL Keyboard Foam Wrist Rest features a smooth surface, comfy foam-filled interior and anti-slip rubber base. Gaming gloves can also improve comfort and ergonomics. 

<4> Refuel
When the munchies strike, you need a healthy snack you can grab without abandoning the action. Enter SIDES. Created by Wild West in partnership with Eatsides from the Sidemen, the creator collective brought together by online gaming, SIDES strips are a range of marinated beef and chicken strips inspired by the Sidemen’s favourite restaurant sauces – bursting with flavour and packed with protein to power you through.
