Many gamers attribute their low gaming productivity to their PC, and of course, this is very important, but it's not the only thing you have to take into account to improve your performance.
We'll assume you have a gaming PC with the minimum recommended settings for smooth gameplay. This way, we'll focus on improving other influential aspects that are rarely considered.

Improve your rest habits
Rest is essential for anyone who wants to perform better. And it's definitely our first piece of gamer advice. So measure the time you actually spend resting and the hours of deep sleep you're getting.
A good ally for this is having a smartwatch that includes sleep monitoring among its features. For example, the Samsung Galaxy Smart Watch 5 Pro has an advanced sleep coaching feature for better sleep. You can activate it to track your sleep patterns at different stages while you rest.
If you notice sleep problems, it's time to correct some bad habits, such as playing for long hours without stopping, playing late at night, or interrupting important hours of sleep to dedicate to gaming.

Use gaming keyboard and mouse
Using a traditional mouse and keyboard for gaming is not the same as using a special gaming mouse and keyboard, and this is due to their ergonomics.
Gaming keyboards and mice are made with the premise that the person will spend a lot of time using them and under pressure.
Gaming keyboards are mechanical (with physical switches), allowing for faster keystroke-to-reaction times. Seconds that can be crucial in winning a game.
Additionally, mechanical gaming keyboards come with wrist support to help prevent injuries. A wrist injury, even if undetectable, diminishes your gaming performance.

It causes total immersion in the game
Total immersion in the game is essential to activate the concentration you need to win. This may require the use of headphones that block out all surrounding noise.
Some gaming headsets go further, also providing microphones for clear conversations, RGB lighting to create a gaming atmosphere and contribute to total immersion.

Hydrate constantly and do physical activity
The constant body posture adopted by gamers can cause significant back pain, especially if an ergonomic chair is not used.
Furthermore, if you don't combine outdoor physical exercise with virtual exercise, you could start to suffer from stress. If you add to all of this skipping meals and not hydrating properly, you're headed for a physical breakdown that could keep you away from the game for some time.
And leaving the game for a long time always causes a decrease in performance that is not so easy to recover.
A professional virtual gamer can't afford long absences, so he keeps up with his physical activity and diet like any high-performance athlete.
We hope these gaming tips help improve your performance in the game!
