Speak the language
- DPI
- How far the cursor moves when you move the mouse. Higher means faster. Most people sit between 800 and 1600. You can change it anytime in software.
- Polling rate
- How often the mouse reports its position, measured in Hz. 1000Hz is smooth and plenty for almost everyone. Higher numbers are a luxury.
- Switch type
- What's under each key and how it feels to press. Linear is smooth and quiet-ish, tactile has a bump, clicky is loud. Pick by feel.
- Panel type
- The screen technology in a monitor: IPS, VA, TN, or OLED. IPS is the safe all-rounder for color and viewing angles. OLED is premium.
- Refresh rate
- How many times per second the screen updates, in Hz. 144Hz is the sweet spot for gaming. 60Hz is fine for everyday use.
- Polar pattern
- The directions a microphone listens from. Cardioid (picks up the front) is what you want for solo talking or streaming.
