- Alright guys.
Today I'm going to be showing you
some of my favorite gaming gear,
that I use on a day-to-day basis
when I play games on a Mac.
So first of all,
we have my Blackmagic eGPU.
If you want to seriously game on a Mac computer,
investing in a eGPU is highly suggested in my opinion.
You will get an absolutely incredible amount
of performance gains depending on your type of eGPU.
They're very easy to connect,
you just plug in and play.
This one is also pretty quiet.
- [Game] Left four.
- Alright so hello, I'm bringing this to you
after we shot that previous video. (laughs)
You really have to concentrate when you're playing. (laughs)
We recently got this Logitech G920 Racing Wheel,
but this was after we shot all this video,
but I still wanted to show it to you guys.
So, it's gonna be a full in-depth review
of this coming next week or whatever.
But for now a brief overview.
This thing is pretty much plug in and play.
You have to install a driver and then it works,
but it's just a really good experience.
If you like playing racing games on your Mac
like Dirt 4, Dirt Rally, F1 2017
you need to get this thing because it really,
it's like driving a car.
If you add in the Logitech Driving Force Shifter,
you can drive a manual car and it's really fun.
It's one of the most fun gaming experience
I've ever had! (laughs)
Okay.
Alright up next here we have the AOC Gaming Monitor.
This isn't the most amazing monitor out there.
I'll be honest it's pretty cheap but it runs at 144 hertz.
It's a 10 AGP monitor so it's nothing fancy,
but I just wanted a monitor that could run at 144 hertz.
So that is why I invested in this one.
I don't know if you can get this overseas,
because I think it's only available in Australia,
but I might be wrong there.
It might, I don't know.
I don't know.
And next here we have the,
what do you call this the Velocifire keyboard.
This is a mechanical keyboard designed exclusively
for Mac computers.
It is quite small,
and it also is very nice to use on the fingers.
Now for obvious reasons,
I can't demonstrate to you very well.
Its a very nice keyboard.
You can also change the arrangements of light
to make them go in different directions.
To be honest I don't really use mechanical keyboards
for a day-to-day,
day-to-day task.
I only use this when I'm playing games,
because I like the feeling of the mechanical keys.
Moving on we have the Razer Mamba wireless mouse.
This is a pretty good mouse for gaming.
It's not the best out there,
but it's what I use and I really like it.
The only problem with this mouse,
and it's quite a big problem,
is that the Bluetooth
is kind of dodgy on Mac. So what you do is you just
connect it permanently with a cord straight
into the computer and it works fine.
So that's the only issue with this mouse.
Other than that works really well,
when it's connected via a cord.
Next we have my preferred gaming controller.
This is the DualShock 4 PlayStation 4 controller.
These controllers are so damn easy to set up on Mac.
You connect it via Bluetooth on the computer
and you're good to go.
It's so simple.
If for some reason that doesn't work,
you just connect it via USB connection,
and it just works.
Moving on, we have the, Bose Comfort 35.
This is noise-canceling headphones
that I use for video editing,
but also for gaming.
They're very expensive,
but they deliver great quality sound,
and they're just really solidly built.
There are lots of other
alternative gaming headsets out there.
This isn't the best this is just what I use,
and I love it.
So next we have an external hard drive.
It's the Western Digital My Passport for Mac.
Now this is a USB-C hard drive
so it will plug straight into a Mac,
that supports USB-C which is great.
The reason why I have this is I basically
backup games that I no longer use
on this hard drive.
So as you can see here all my games
that I've kind of stopped playing for a number of reasons.
Either I'm bored of them
or they're just taking up too much space,
but that's where I just pile them all.
You can get this hard drive
as a two terabyte hard drive or four terabyte.
Some games take up heaps of space.
Batman: Arkham City takes up 13 gigs
and Divinity: Original Sin II takes up like 20 gigabytes.
Moving on, we've got Blue microphone the Snowball iCE.
Now this is black,
it looks really nice in back in my opinion.
This is just a really cheap USB microphone
that delivers great quality sound,
and it is so much better
than the in-built microphone in a Mac.
You can use this for if you wanna
create let's plays, record your voice,
or if you just want to talk to your friends
when you're playing games.
Next, we have the Elgato Game Capture HD60
which is a external screen capturing device
that I use every single day for my work
here on YouTube to record the screen of my Mac.
It delivers 1080p 60 frames per second.
It outdoes any Mac in-built screen recorder
such as QuickTime or ScreenFlow.
This is what you need if you want
to record gameplay on your Mac.
It's a little bit complicated to set up,
but after a while you get the hang of it.
You get used to the setup and it's great.
Over here we have the Apple TV.
Now you may be saying, what why is that?
What does that have to do with Mac gaming?
I actually have this downstairs in my TV room.
I screen mirror my Mac to the TV.
Then I can sit back and
just play some games on the TV,
like as if I was just playing my PlayStation.
So, that is all the gaming gear
that I use on a day-to-day basis to
make my Mac gaming experience
that much better or somewhat better than it already is.
