Wired vs. wireless: The ultimate guide to buying peripherals

Wireless peripherals used to be miles behind their wired rivals when it came to competitive gaming. Wireless solutions were plagued by battery issues, and gamers always feared running out of power in an intense situation.

The batteries last for months, wireless mice are just as responsive as the wired ones, and keyboards have become more robust.

Best Streamlabs chatbot commands

Chatbot commands are one of the powerful tools that streamers and chat moderators can use to help inform viewers without forcing a content creator to repeat themselves over and over.
