Is Wireless Gaming An Option For Dedicated Gamers In 2019?

January 11, 2019 Posted by Jane Smith Editorial No Comments

It used to be the case you needed a cable connection to access the internet. The wireless revolution, however, changed all that. It’s hard to find a public place that doesn’t have wifi or a home appliance that isn’t smart tech. And with the advent of 5G mobile internet, that revolution isn’t slowing up. For dedicated gamers, it has also opened up the world of wireless gaming. But is it right for you?

The Freedom of Wireless Gaming?

One of the benefits of wireless gaming is that you don’t have to stay in the same place. To do battle in the online realm, wifi and mobile connections let you game anywhere in your room, house, street or town! The train to work can be your battleground; your morning coffee your strategic inspiration!

Wireless Gaming: A Convenient Option

Going wireless with your gaming is nice and simple for two main reasons. First, it’s pretty easy to get online as long as your router or hub is hooked up to a modem. Second, you don’t have to make sure all those trailing wires are kept neat and tidy so no-one trips over them… because there aren’t any!

Is Gaming Wirelessly Holding You Back?

Sure, there are advantages to wireless gaming. But there are also disadvantages too, which means a wired option may still be best for dedicated gamers. The connection speed that network cables from RS Components can hit is much faster than wireless – and that’s crucial for avoiding the dreaded lag.

Reliability and Wireless Gaming

The speed of your connection is one factor that can affect your wireless gaming experience. Another is the reliability of your network. Is it free from interference from other devices or connections? Are there any walls or doors in your home that could make a seamless connection harder to guarantee?

And don’t forget the battery life in wireless accessories like your mouse, headphones or control pad!

For dedicated gaming enthusiasts, the idea of going wireless can prove a tempting one. But there are many factors to consider. If you can’t be sure of your connection won’t be interrupted, then wireless gaming may not be for you. After all, what can be more frustrating than being about to complete the final level only for the game to lag or your connection drop out entirely. It won’t be much fun, will it?
