CS:GO is a game that allows for nearly unlimited amounts of customization, leading players to having vastly different display settings and ingame settings through the use of personal configs. As any self respecting PC game it also allows you to change key bindings but in typical CS:GO fashion you can go crazy here too. Doing something such as […]

We get a lot of questions about what sensitivity people should use in order to play at their best, and the answer is usually quite short: it’s up to you. Of course that’s not a very useful answer if you’re completely new to (competitive) gaming so in this article we’ll go over some ‘best practices’ […]

Diving into the world of mechanical keyboards can definitely be a confusing journey. For starters there’s the massive variety of keyboard switches that are available, and once you get the hang of that there are a bunch of abbreviations and uncommon terms to get to know. In order to help people out as best as we can […]

CS:GO is a game that offers a lot of customization options. Players are constantly experimenting with their resolution, crosshairs, video settings, and so on. A lot of these finer adjustments are made in the console of the game (which you can access by pressing the ~ key by default) but the annoying thing is that they often reset upon […]

When Nvidia released their RTX 20 series line of GPUS they also announced two exciting new technological improvements: their GPUs would form then on be able to perform real time ray tracing and would feature Deep Learning Super Sampling (DLSS). We’ve already explained what ray tracing is in a separate article, but what exactly is this DLSS […]

In this article we’ll be talking about the main differences between Nvidia’s G-Sync and AMD’s FreeSync technology. If you want to know more about how these technologies work you can always visit their respective library pages by clicking on the links. In short: G-Sync and FreeSync are both adaptive sync technologies. When your system is pushing more frames than […]

Almost all peripheral manufacturers release software suites these days. These allow you to configure your gear (DPI, RGB lighting, …) to your liking. How expansive these possibilities are depends on the equipment you’re using, as well as the software itself, so in this article we’ll go over the possibilities that Razer’s Synapse offers. Razer’s Configuration […]

Ray tracing is a completely different way to render 3D graphics in games. It recreates reality by tracing individual rays of light coming from the ‘camera’ (or in the case of gaming; the player’s point of view) and simulating how each individual ray of light interacts with different ingame objects. This means that each ray of light […]

We all know it doesn’t sound good, but what exactly is mouse jitter? Simply put it’s when your mouse cursor jumps around and makes sudden, unexpected movements on the screen without you having made those movements. This is not to be confused with angle snapping or mouse smoothing, since these are deliberate attempts (from either the software side […]

When we talk about the polling rate of a mouse or other peripheral we’re talking about how often the mouse reports its position to the PC it’s connected to. This is measured in Hertz (Hz) and not to be confused with DPI. Polling rate in practice When you’re gaming it’s of critical importance to have your […]

Mouse smoothing is much like angle snapping in the sense that it alters the raw input of a user in favor of ‘predicting’ what said user wanted to do with the mouse. What is mouse smoothing Modern (gaming) mice are very accurate when it comes to reporting where their users are moving the mouse, but older sensors […]

When reading mouse reviews or press packages for mice you’re bound to encounter some terms which can be difficult to understand if no one has explained to you what they mean. ‘Angle snapping’ is one of them. You’ve probably heard that it’s bad, but what is it exactly, and why is it bad? Angle snapping […]

eDPI stands for ‘effective Dots Per Inch,’ which is a formula used to calculate the effective sensitivity of any given player, regardless of hardware or software settings. The formula is DPI * ingame sens. In gaming, users can use many different hardware/software settings combinations. One user might have his mouse set to be extremely sensitive […]
