As an eSports enthusiast I just came across some exciting news that I would like to share with you today. Logitech G is extending their relationship with top eSport Teams Cloud9 (C9) and Team SoloMid (TSM). These two teams are based in the U.S. and are going to exclusively use Logitech G hardware for the whole next year.

Computer peripheral hardware for eSports also offer a nice design, a good set of additional features and are very comfortable even on long sessions which makes them also a great fit for any office. Personally I also enjoy comfort enhancing equipment for work which is actually designed for eSports. I strongly recommend that even if you need to get your own gear.
