Mouse: prioritize comfort and reachable buttons

An MMO mouse can help if you bind many abilities, but it isn't mandatory. Check hand size, button placement, weight, sensor reliability, and whether you can comfortably distinguish side buttons without looking. If you mostly quest casually, your existing mouse may be fine.

Keyboard: consistency beats flashy features

Look for a comfortable key layout, reliable key registration, and enough room to reach common movement and modifier keys. Mechanical switches are a preference—not a requirement for good play.

Headset: communication and comfort

For dungeon and raid groups, a clear microphone can matter more than surround-sound marketing. If you already own comfortable headphones and a working mic, you may not need an upgrade.

Monitor and ergonomics

Readable interface scaling, a stable frame rate, a comfortable viewing distance, and accessible keybinds tend to benefit everyday play. Adjust settings and your desk setup before assuming new hardware is the answer.

Buy only if you can name the problem

Before purchasing, ask: What is frustrating me? Does this product solve it? Is there a free settings or keybind change I can try first? Can I return it if it doesn't fit?
