Keyboards And Mice

Most built-in or USB keyboards work fine.
We recommend a USB gaming mouse for PC and Mac. Mac users should look for a dedicated gaming mouse as the Apple Magic Mouse doesn’t have dedicated left/right buttons and a scroll wheel, which are usually needed for games. Logitech and Razer offer many different options. If you are using a mouse and experiencing stutters, you can try adjusting your mouse to a lower polling rate (125Hz) to eliminate stutters.

Most monitors work fine for all membership types. To unlock HDR benefits with the Ultimate membership tier, you must use a monitor that supports the HDR10 format.
