Want to make the switch to PC but don't want to learn full keyboard controls or use a controller ?

A little background about me, I was a console gamer since I was around 7 years old until the age of 31. During lockdown 2020 i made the jump over to PC due to wanting to be able to stream, now don't get me wrong consoles can offer streaming but have limmited capabilities.

I did spend about a month learning Keyboad and Mouse just so I had it in my armory if I ever needed it. But if this dose not intrest you and all the keys put you off i may have the perfect solution for you.

Now you will have to learn some of the keys and use the keyboard for mobility but I highly suggest the Logitech G G502 Hero mouse.

The G502 is a high quality mouse with customizable RGB lighting, an advanced optical sensor for accriate tracking, DPI range from 100 to 16,000 and repositional weights as everyone has their own preference if they like a heavy mouse or light weight one, on the mouse there is 11 fully programmable buttons.

Now the buttons are where you will be able to avoid learning full keyboard controls, from my personal experience using a controller for sooooo many years using these buttons makes my hands feels so much more at home, having the buttons all in one had is as close to the controller as you can get with out using one.

For FPS games I have my scroll wheel as change weapon, flick the scroll wheel left to reload and right to use a object, the two buttons next to the right click are set as leathal and tacital, the two buttons on the side where your thumb sits are crouch and prone finally the last button on the side is the sniper button while held its cuts my dpi sensitivity in half for a more persission aim.

With the use of the Ghub softwear you can make multiple profiles for different games so your mouse set up will not have to be the same for each game, eg. what works for call of duty will not work for world of warcraft ect.

Now what you set these to are totally up to you and what you feel comfortable with but the Logitech G502 Hero will help your switch to PC easier.

There are a few variations of the mouse there is the standard one ( that I own ), a SE edition the same as standard but white and black colour scheme, and finally the lightspeed version giving you possibly the best wireless mouse experience out currently with such low input lag you wouldn't notice a difference between this and a wired version.

Prices ?

The standard G502 hero retails for around £50 although prices do fluctuate.

The SE Edition retails for around £60 again with deals to be found online.

The Lightspeed version retails for around £100.

Now in Second hand market the standard G502 can be found for as cheap as £20.

All in all no matter what you budget is you will be able to find one of these mouses to suit.

Happy Gaming ⌨🖱

Sneak Energy is it worth it ? . I was sceptical at first I honestly thought this was going to be like one of those energy drinks that are just rebranded to take a slice of the gaming sector.

Man was I wrong what a sorce of energy this gives you.

Being a flat juice type drink unlike the other carbonated ones it makes this energy drink plesent to drink and its so smooth. Bundled with lots of vitamins and everything you need to have a healthier kick from a energy drink compare to most of the market.

I highly reccomend you try the starter pack with a range of flavours and a shaker alowing you find your perfect flavour before you purchase one of the more expensive tubs that work out about £0.88 each drink you make from the tub. BARGIN.

From my personal experience I found drinking this around 45 minuites before my streaming gave me the best results. The extra kick of energy lasted long after my streaming had ended. I certainly felt more awake and alert.

Sneak I take my hat off to you keep up the good work and I'm looking forward to trying more flavours, this is now my go to energy drink. 🥳

Can gaming help with your mental health ?

There is conflicted thoughts on this agenda some people say how can being alone in front of a screen be any good for your mental health ? But are you ever really alone while gaming ?
I believe from my personal experience gaming can help you with your mental health issues.

Since the age of 16 I'm now 32 I have struggled with various mental health issues including PTSD, Depression and Anxiety.
These were caused by two major accidents i had, one was in 2004 which was a crush injury while at work and the second happened in 2006 this was a motorbike crash. Both of these accidents and the aftermath caused my mental health to deteriorate quickly.
I have still not recovered from these and struggle daily, I have tried medication and counselling but for me these did not have the required impact to help me progress back to what people see as regular mental health as if there is such a thing as I'm sure everyone has a little something they need support with.

I have been a gamer ever since my accidents as I was incapacitated and was very limited to what I could do, Years later came lockdown 2020 I was worried how I was going to cope, stuck indoors everyday for months and not being able to see my loved ones and friends. But this was my saving grace I set up my Streaming pages and thought if I enjoy the games I'm sure others would do also.
For me this has gained me many more friends than I thought i would have and also loneliness is near to disappeared as there is always people to chat to.

The games help me as i can be a footballer, solider, farmer, explorer or anything i want to be in a digital world i can zone out my daily struggles and be anyone or anything i want to be in a different ever changing world, just from the time i start the game up and pull on my headphones the world and my worries change and disappear.

My streaming pages are a little different to the others though as i want my streams to be a safe place for people with mental health issues to drop by have a chat and just try and relax a bit, I have a camera on my stream so you can see me so its not like talking to someone u can't see and there forth can not feel that connection.

Is gaming for everyone ?

NO it indeed is not but I believe for most people this could help your recovery.
I hope my speech has helped you understand a little more into what gaming could do for you and what it has helped me achieve.
Mental health illness is a long and ever changing road and I wish u the best of luck on your journey.

So here it is my first ever gameplay of Dying Light. I must say it was quite fun although the falling off building a few times and nearly breaking my legs was a set back 😂😂. Thank you to everyone who showed their support when I was live last night. Just realised I asked someone to feed the zombies a tesco meal deal 😂😂😂😂😜 My Stream of Dying Light will be continuing next week. Be there or be square. 🧟‍♂️🧟‍♀️🧟‍♂️🧟‍♀️
