Around $100 on Prime Day: a mouse, keyboard and earbuds for competitive gaming

If you're into competitive online games, gear can make a difference. Prime Day discounts let me pick three upgrades—a mouse, keyboard, and earbuds—for about $106.28 combined. The mouse is a lightweight model I reviewed and rated highly, offering the kind of quality found in much more expensive brand-name gaming mice but at a fraction of the cost.

The earbuds are my favorite recent upgrade: after swapping a pricier gaming headset for these inexpensive IEMs I haven't had a single complaint and can place enemies in Counter-Strike maps much more easily. I haven't personally tried the keyboard here, but Reece rated it highly.

Its Hall effect switches enable super-light actuation and rapid trigger, which can make techniques like counter-strafing feel snappier once you get used to them. If your current peripherals aren't tailored to competitive play, this three-part combo for around $100 could noticeably improve your esports experience.
