Gaming has come a long way in India, where the concept has turned into a cultural trend thanks to social media, smartphone applications and interactive entertainment. The country's only organised team, Aggressive Teamwork Experience (ATE) Gaming, has qualified for both Indian and global events and made its mark.


BenQ 3D Monitor

Considered the world's best at Counter Strike, the duo have developed a 23.6"W LED screen that offers a 1920x1080 resolution. Thanks to a 2 mili second response time and a 120Hz refresh rate, you can track your opponents and plan your moves without the lag of a millisecond. The display hotkey allows you to scale the screen size from 17" to 23" such that your avatar's expectations correspond to your control's movements sharply. For best effects, you can also save the contrast and brightness settings suited to each game genre and colour tint your enemy; maintaining the distinct realism in each frame. Put on Nvidia 3D glasses and you're ready to hit a parallel universe.

Cooler Master CM Storm Keyboards

The average gamer isn't looking to boost his skills at QWERTY, but for precision and speed. Once the window keys are disabled and you turn on its game mode, Cooler Master's CM Storm keyboards do justice to its name as they blizzards through the rough-and-tumble of your advanced games. The Trigger, Quick Fire Rapid and Pro feature a response time of 1000Hz/1ms, and work wonders in games like the Starcraft and World of War Craft, which require multiple shots every second.

Cool Master Spawn Mouse 

The ergonomic claw-shaped mouse adheres to the cultural trend that most gamers begin young, and offers an exact grip to all palm-sizes. Cloaked in glossy crimson, the weapon's angle snapping option maximises kill rates. There's also an anti-drift system which takes you impeccably through lifts and drops, especially in First Person Shooter and Real Time Strategy games.  

Razer Orca Headset

Taking a cue from real life warfare, where sound discloses the location of the enemy and directs gunshots, its speakers help you take note of the opponent's position and action. The thumping quality is enhanced to clarify gaming sounds and the response time is set to 15 to 21,000 Hz, making sure every sound wave strains out in an animated yet precise tone. The Orca weighs a minimal 207 gm.
