DAY 7 – GAMING
PLANTRONICS RIG HEADSET – $129
The Plantronics Rigs headset can be used in a number of ways.
Being a stereo headset naturally you can listen to your music as well as link it to your smartphone to answer calls and wear them while you’re playing your games – usually all at the same time.
The onboard mixer lets users control what they’re listening to with the twin sliders and to take a call with one touch.
Plantronics Rig also has an interchangeable mic so you can switch from the noise-cancelling boom that you use for your gaming to the inline mic with mute, call and music control when you’re on the move.
And no matter how you play your games – it works with smartphones, tablets, Mac, PC, Xbox 360, PS3 and PS4 (with an optical cable – sold separately).

BenQ’s XL2430T 24-inch gaming screen is specially designed for gamers and multimedia enthusiasts to enjoy their content as it was meant to be seen.
The full high definition display has a high refresh rate of up to 144Hz and a blistering fast 1ms response time to deliver smooth graphics and no lag.
The XL2430T also has an Auto Game Mode to detect the type of game you’re playing and adjust the settings accordingly.
Also on board is Eye Care to reduce eye fatigue with flicker-free technology and low blue light modes.
LOGITECH G910 ORION SPARK GAMING KEYBOARD – $249.95
