| − | * Monitor
| |
| − | IPS panel with 240Hz minimum is recommended.<br>
| |
| − | TN has bad colors and viewing angles, VA has slow response time and Oled has higher input lag.<br>
| |
| − | The pixels response time must stay inside de refresh cycle (1000/Hz) to avoid blur and take full advantage of the monitor's Hz.<br>
| |
| − | [https://www.rtings.com/monitor/tests/motion/motion-blur-and-response-time Rtings has some reviews]. Order them by rise/fall time.<br>
| |
| − | Some monitors have a fast enough response time but at the cost of ghosting. Take this into account.<br>
| |
| − | Asus VG279QM is an excellent monitor. [https://www.aperturegrille.com/reviews/ASUSVG279QM/ Aperture Grille's review].<br>

| − | * Mouse
| |
| − | Any modern mouse should be ok.<br>
| |
| − | The sensor must not have smoothing, angle snapping and jitter.<br>
| |
| − | 1000Hz and DPI of 1600 minimum is recommended. Use only native DPI values to avoid interpolation.<br>
| |
| − | Pixart 3389 sensor fills all these requirements.<br>

| |
| − | To save energy you can change Windows power plan to high performance while playing and restore to balanced when finished. Open cmdline and type powercfg -l to see their GUID. They should match the ones below.<br>
| |
| − | Devices interrupts go to cpu0 by default. Excluding it for ezQuake will improve fps and stabilize frametime. [https://bitsum.com/tools/cpu-affinity-calculator/ Cpu affinity calculator] shows you what hexadecimal value you need to set in the cmdline after the /affinity (replace the word HexVal with the value you got from the calculator).
