Reddit mentions of VicTsing [30% Larger] Extended Gaming Mouse Pad with Stitched Edges, Long XXL Mousepad (31.5x15.7In), Desk Pad Keyboard Mat, Non-Slip Base, Water-Resistant, for Work & Gaming, Office & Home, Black

Everyone loves this thing, but I'm going to be contrary and say that mine did not hold up well at all. After less than 2 years it was very worn and noticeably thinner where my wrist tended to rest. I also found the size and shape annoying when I wanted my keyboard centered for extended typing. I ultimately ended up buying one of those truly giant mousepads that goes under the keyboard too (this one to be specific, though I got it on a sale for $11) and so far (I've had it about a year or so) it's both more convenient and holding up better.

Here is the monitor I recommend:

Here is the mousepad I recommend:

https://www.amazon.com/VicTsing-Extended-31-5×15-75×0-12-Computer-Water-Resistant/dp/B0794WBPHK/ref=mp_s_a_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1542777401&sr=8-3&pi=AC_SX236_SY340_QL65&keywords=gaming+mousepad

So this should all be plenty for his intentions.

AMD’s Ryzen lineup has more cores than intel and tends to be a much better “bang for the buck”

8GB of high speed ram

Instead of a GTX 1060 or 1070, I went with an RX580 to save money. It has very equivalent performance as the 1060, and even better in some areas.

I added a WiFi card to allow for wireless connectivity, which isn’t necessary if you plan to wire your connection.

A nice CherryMX Switch keyboard.

A 2TB Hard Drive for games and a 240GB SSD for Windows. (Allows for faster boot times and a smoother experience overall.)

A good looking case that has a glass side panel on one end.

And a 75hz monitor that is a steal at the moment. I actually have one of these myself and it is amazing for its price, I’m very satisfied. Only downside is it doesn’t ship with an HDMI cable, only VGA so make sure you have a spare.

And of course a large mousepad, not necessary but helps.

If your son plans on using a mic, he needs a USB splitter which is super cheap and you can get off of Amazon for ~$10.

This build should get the job done for your son;)
I know it’s a little out of budget, but the extra money is worth it.

Edit: I also recommend purchasing another case fan for $5-10 as this only comes with 1 preinstalled.

Mouse sens is all around how much real-estate you have. Overall the rule for PC shooters is the lower sens you can get away with, the better off you'll be.

​

Ideally you want your middle poa (point of aim) to your left and right edges of your real estate to reflect a 180 in each direction.

​

Call of duty being a bit of a faster title you may have to over rotate some times so maybe give yourself a little more of a buffer zone. That being said though this is a basic idea ive applied to every shooter for the last 10 years and it's worked great.

​

My mousepad - as a PC gamer. I'm not sure as a console user what sort of space you have to work with so use your judgement when figuring all that out. Good luck OP!

Why is your DPI so high?

For the mousepad I am using a Corsair MM300 Extended which I got for $15 (currently $20) from amazon.

I would highly recommend getting any extended mousepad with a stitched edge (to prevent fraying). This one has some really good reviews, is completely huge, and scores an A on fakespot for $11.

Anything this size or larger should be good. It’s extremely nice to have lots of mouse space. The rgb version will add to the bling

My front mouse feet are a bit "worn" as you can see here.

This is my pad then, I know it's not the best, but my old pad was to small and I needed something bigger but didn't want to spend alot but I still had the sluggish feeling on my old pad which was a QCK large.

I'll go do that scenario and then edit this with my scores.

Game 1 - 25

Game 2 - 25.4

Game 3 - 25.2

Any chance you could sell long-sleeved shirts and gaming mats?

I'm not a fan of T-shirts or hoodies.

When I say expensive I am referring to the purpose of the item for the price. You’re correct, 34 isn’t a lot of money but when I can get an extended pad off of amazon for 14 just not all fancy that’s what I’m referring to.

Don’t get me wrong they are nice looking mouse pads but I’m just the no frills type of person, aka boring I suppose. Lmao

Edit: link to my example.

I have this Victsing at home and its soft and comfy

However, I use a Logitech G440 Hard Surface Pad at work and it's like a miracle. With my Logitech G602 mouse, it honestly feels comparable to sliding around an Air Hockey Puck.

As always your milage may vary!

Sure thing. I would look into getting a cheap larger mouse pad if you’re committed. This one is 12 bucks on amazonVicTsing Extended Gaming Mouse... https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0794WBPHK?ref=yo_pop_ma_swf is the first one I got and it works great. I ended up getting the enormous one from glorious for my whole desk but tbh it’s completely overkill.

Employing your whole arm will make it much easier to make those minute flicks. Instead of trying to only move your mouse half centimeter you have 3 or more to work with.

The bigger the better. It isn't strictly necessary with a laser mouse, but it helps to demonstrate the optimal configuration.

Also, the 2 feet part isn't strictly necessary for MWO, since it limits pitch so much already, but it helps tremendously for other games that require more vertical movement.
