The best keyboard for Counter Strike 2
Choosing a suitable keyboard for CS2 is crucial if you want to play under optimal conditions! If you're searching for a sturdy and efficient keyboard that has proven itself on the esports stage under the hands of the greatest players, the K2 is THE keyboard for you. The Xtrfy K2 esports keyboard is a full-size mechanical keyboard with built-in memory for software-free macro management, which is incredibly handy for LAN parties.
Of course, its younger sibling, the K4 TKL, is a best-seller for obvious reasons: it's compact, super-efficient, and available in three colors for a unique setup.
Last but not least, how could we not mention the remarkable Xtrfy K5 esports keyboard, the newest member of the family, a 65% format, hot-swappable for unlimited longevity, and available in a custom edition through our configurator! More than 60 mechanical switches to choose from, 7 keycap colors, 11 unique frames, not to forget the custom coiled USB-C cables for a tantalizing custom look.
Another TKL keyboard perfectly suited for the intense and demanding gameplay of Counter Strike 2? Let me introduce you to the fantastic Berserker by DESIGNED BY GG, a unique French brand offering high-end keyboards with a value-for-money proposition that's hard to beat. The Berserker is a hot-swappable keyboard featuring a gasket mount structure for optimized sound isolation and lubricated switches. This gaming keyboard, available in two colors, also manages to offer 100% PBT keycaps, despite its reasonable price, a higher-end plastic than the ABS usually reserved for premium custom keyboards.

The best mouse for Counter Strike 2
We mentioned it in our introduction; it is absolutely crucial to choose an esports mouse if one hopes to climb the ranks in CS2.
CS2, like CS:GO, offers gameplay that's straightforward but exceedingly demanding. Therefore, there's no need for a mouse littered with buttons or gimmicky features. Instead, one should prioritize an ultra-lightweight mouse with a top-of-the-line sensor like the legendary Pixart 3395 found in the Xtrfy M8.
Today, wireless mice perform just as well as their wired counterparts, so there's no reason to deny oneself the freedom of movement they offer. The Xtrfy M8 boasts a 75-hour battery life and a weight of just 55 grams, even with its non-perforated shell.
If you prefer a non-symmetrical ergonomic shape (geared toward right-handed users), the legendary design of the Xtrfy M4 Wireless is probably my favorite.
For a perfect grip, and to permanently rid your gaming sessions of sweaty palm issues during intense clutch moments, I recommend optimizing the ergonomics of your mouse with Lizard Skins grips. These are high-quality mouse grips made of Polymer Durasoft, pre-cut to fit the Xtrfy M4, M42, and MZ1. They are also available in 10x15 cm strips that can be trimmed to fit any mouse on the market. These customizable grips will make all the difference.
It's also worth noting that Xtrfy has recently introduced the Glass Skates, glass mouse feet for smoother gliding of your gaming mouse. These too are available for the M8, as well as the M4, M42, and Rocket Jump Ninja's MZ1.

The best mouse pad for Counter Strike 2
Let's talk quickly about mouse pads; we'll keep it simple: choose a large-sized pad, like the GP5 from Xtrfy. The XL desk-sized pads (92 x 40 cm) ensure that you have enough space to play, even with low sensitivity and a full-size keyboard. The GP5 is available in over 10 colors and patterns, so you're bound to find one that will match your setup.
The best headset for Counter Strike 2
If you've ever played Counter Strike, you know how vital sound is. Playing with an unsuitable headset simply deprives you of a ridiculous amount of information about the position and behavior of your opponents.
It's essential to choose a high-performance gaming headset that is also comfortable. The H2 from Xtrfy is perfect for CS2: it was designed in collaboration with the players from the prestigious Counter Strike team NIP.
Looking for another option, especially for players seeking studio-quality sound? Head over to the Beyerdynamic section to pick up the MMX 300, a premium gaming headset that offers players incredibly clear and powerful sound and a high-quality microphone.
In terms of comfort, there's no need to worry with its padded headband, and its longevity is ensured by the use of detachable cables!
There you have it; with this info, you should be all set to RUSH B under the best conditions—if only Valve decides to reactivate DUST 2 in competitive mode. Cyka blyat!
