Why Gaming Peripherals Make Sense in a Business Environment
When your business is thinking of refreshing its peripherals, flashy gaming keyboards, mice, and headsets might not be the first choices to come to mind.
But perhaps they should be; here’s why.
But perhaps they should be; here’s why.
Gaming Peripherals: Designed to Last
Gaming peripherals, such as those offered by ASUS, are designed for some of the most intensive, high-performance usage a set of peripherals will endure. Persistent, high-end use, thousands of rapid clicks, taps, and adjustments mean that gaming peripherals have to stand up to the toughest use-cases. That makes them perfectly suited to be implemented in your business; instead of sourcing cheap, unreliable peripherals that are liable to fail at any time and leave some of your workstations out of commission, you can invest in high-quality peripherals that will stand the test of time and provide additional benefits not often considered by business users.Gaming Keyboards: Ready for countless key presses
Let’s start with the keyboard. A keyboard like the ROG Strix Scope RX offers a range of powerful features and design choices that deliver a work experience you’ll be pleasantly surprised by:- Industry-leading IP56 dust and water resistance, as well as being crafted with a durable aluminium alloy top plate for rigidity and long-lasting performance.
- The switches used for each key are created by ASUS ROG directly, and the Optical Mechanical Switches not only provide long-term reliability, but as gamers require fast response times from their key presses, ASUS ROG keyboards offer rapid actuation points, ensuring your keyboard isn’t the thing slowing work down.
- With the ability to map commonly-used commands and key presses on the fly using the macro functions that’re part of several of our ROG Strix keyboards, repetitive work tasks can be quickly bypassed with one simple press of a button, leaving your team to get the real work done.
- Per-key lighting might seem like a gaming gimmick, but it enables your team to personalise how they use their keyboard. Highlight commonly used macro keys with specific colours, or colour-code areas of the keyboard for easy touch-typing at a glance.
Mice: Click to complete your work
You may assume a mouse is just a mouse; a device with two buttons and a scroll wheel. What more is needed? Video games offer so many scenarios and use-cases that each require multiple buttons or remove the user’s need to move their hand from the mouse, mice have come a long way over previous years. Modern gaming mice like the ASUS ROG Gladius III Wireless gaming mice offer a variety of benefits you won’t usually find on more business-focused models:- Wireless functionality removes desk-cluttering wires from your workspace, while alternate connections like Bluetooth® connectivity and wired options ensure you’re never without a mouse to hand.
- DPI options up to 19,000 allow users to adjust how responsive and fast their mouse cursor moves. While this is excellent for adjusting mouse sensitivity in gaming, it also enables business users to increase their DPI to higher levels, meaning they can move their mouse from task-to-task even quicker.
- A lifespan of 70 million clicks ensures your ROG mouse isn’t going anywhere anytime soon, and delivers consistent, reliable performance day-to-day for years. If for whatever reason your ROG mouse does fail, push-fit switch sockets allow you to repair just the switches, not the entire mouse, saving your business money.
- Multi-device connectivity makes using multiple devices at the same time a breeze. Perfect for the designers, developers and more, who are used to working across several platforms and devices.
Headsets: All-day comfort and feature-complete
A headset is an important device in an office. When you’re on a conference call with either your team or a client, no one in the office wants to be party to your call, just as the client doesn’t want to hear the events taking place in the office. Gaming headsets are specifically designed to be worn for hours at a time, crafted with materials and features that make long-term wear easy on the ears and comfortable all day long. Gaming headsets like the ROG Theta 7.1 USB-C headset may not have been your first choice, but here’s why they should be:- Multiplatform compatibility ensures whether you’re working on a desktop, a laptop, or even your phone, your headset will support you throughout seamlessly.
- Metal ear cups and ROG Hybrid ear cushions are designed with comfort in mind; reducing pressure on eyewear, and featuring soft fast-cooling materials, heat around your ears is reduced by 25%, keeping you cool throughout the day. Not only that, but the cup design ensures sound isolation – perfect when you’re on a tricky client call, and need absolute concentration.
- An AI-powered noise-cancelling microphone eliminates over 50 million types of background noise while preserving the clarity of your voice. Say goodbye to keyboard clatters, noisy office neighbors, and distracting mouse clicks.
- Quick-access controls on the headset allow for quick volume adjustments, mic muting, and even disabling the ROG lighting if you’d prefer to opt for a more subtle look.
