The right PC
Recommended by Frédéric Müller, Product Manager PC Systems
For beginners
For enthusiasts
The right monitor
Recommended by Martin Kunz, Teamleader Peripherals
For beginners
Smooth gameplay with up to 144Hz refresh rate and 1ms response time, making it perfect for first-person shooters. The display is large enough at 27 inches and offers Full HD resolution. Various adjustment options for ergonomic preferences. Solid workmanship, many connection options and a good price-performance ratio. Some compromises have to be made with the TN panel. For gamers, the display is still a clear recommendation, says Martin.
For enthusiasts
The right mouse
Recommended by Yves Sahli, Junior Product Manager Peripherals
For beginners
Whether left- or right-handed, the Zowie Gear FK1 suits everyone. It has a special coating for increased grip and does not slip even with sweaty hands. The sensor is great, but can't quite keep up with that of a Logitech G502, says Yves.
For enthusiasts
The Logitech G502 is the first choice for demanding gamers. The weight and therefore the handling can be customised with five 3.6 g tuning weights to suit every taste. Thanks to its extremely high sampling rate (up to 12,000 DPI), it is also suitable for the most experienced sniper. Finally, the RGB lighting is the icing on the cake.
The right keyboard
Recommended by Yves Sahli, Junior Product Manager Peripherals
For beginners
The Logitech G610 is simple and stylish. The lighting is only monochrome, but that's enough to help you find your way around in the dark. The MX Brown switches are known for their durability and thanks to the various media keys, the most important functions are just a finger's reach away. However, you have to make do without a palm rest, but that's not everyone's cup of tea anyway.
For enthusiasts
In the First World War, most things were still mechanical, so what could be more fitting than playing "Battlefield 1" with a mechanical keyboard? With the Corsair Gaming K70, you have faster key actuation and can even choose between different switches. The palm rest is easy on the joints and the RGB lighting creates a party atmosphere in your gaming room.
The right headset
Recommended by Dimitri Pfluger, Junior Product Manager
For beginners
The Cave XTD 5.1 offers true surround sound thanks to two driver units per ear cup. Simply plug in the USB cable, select Surround in the game settings and head into battle!
For enthusiasts
The Elite Pro is designed for hours of gaming in every respect and offers extremely good wearing comfort thanks to cooling ear pads.
The right mousepad
Recommended by Yves Sahli, Junior Product Manager Peripherals
For beginners
Because the opponents in "Battlefield 1" rarely stand still, the mouse is constantly on the move. You need a proper mouse pad for that crucial precision. The Steelseries QcK is made of fabric, is inexpensive and has a non-slip underside so that nothing slips even during hectic movements.
For enthusiasts
The Logitech G640 is also made of fabric, the underside is rubberised and therefore also non-slip. The huge surface is for all those who don't like to be restricted.

Philipp.Rueegg@digitecgalaxus.chAs a child, I wasn't allowed to have any consoles. It was only with the arrival of the family's 486 PC that the magical world of gaming opened up to me. Today, I'm overcompensating accordingly. Only a lack of time and money prevents me from trying out every game there is and decorating my shelf with rare retro consoles.
