Three Gadgets You Need for Better Gaming Right Now
These devices allow your gaming to be more accurate, more mobile, and even let you create better gaming content for your followers.
We’re all looking for an edge or more convenience and it’s no different in gaming. Whether you want to make better gaming video content for your audience, dock your portable console more easily at a friend’s house, or play mobile games with a keyboard, mouse, or controller, there’s a device that can help you out. In this article we’ll take a look at four easy-to-use devices to solve your gaming woes.
Aim Like A Pro
We’ve all felt the frustration of trying to play a first-person shooter (FPS) on a mobile device’s touch screen. Aiming, running, and gunning are all pretty hard without the tactile feedback offered by either a controller or a keyboard and mouse setup. What if there was a device to change that? Well, there is, and it’s called the IOGEAR KeyMander 2 Mobile.
KeyMander 2 Mobile lets you play your favorite mobile games with a keyboard, mouse, and even a monitor in conjunction with UH3235.
This simple device is an adapter that lets you play Android and iOS games with a keyboard and mouse and is compatible with Apple Arcade, Google Stadia, NVIDIA’s GeForce Now, and Xbox Game Pass Ultimate’s iOS. Play mobile games such as DOOM Eternal, Call of Duty: Modern Warfare, Minecraft and more with a keyboard and mouse and even a PC monitor, when used in conjunction with the UH3235, easily and watch your accuracy go through the roof.
As impressive as that is, KeyMander 2 actually comes in a series of models.
The KeyMander 2 is a keyboard/mouse adapter that features controller crossover. The KeyMander 2 Mobile is a keyboard/mouse adapter for mobile devices, and the KeyMander 2 3Play is a keyboard/mouse sharing switch for PC and game consoles.
The KeyMander 2 supports consoles such as Xbox One, PS4, and Nintendo Switch, so you can play games on those consoles with a keyboard and mouse as well. There’s even a crossover function that lets you swap controllers between consoles, so you can play a Switch game with a PS4 controller, for example. Firmware updates are being released all the time too for more added functionality.

Make Better Gaming Content
Gaming isn’t just about playing these days: there’s also plenty of gaming videos, from gameplay reaction videos to reviews, unboxings, livestreams, and more. Making great videos takes more than just a webcam though, so that’s where a device like the CAMLIVE PRO or UC3022. What this handy little device does is let one person effortlessly create dual camera livestreams with camera switching, scene presets, chroma keying, and more. Plus, you control the entire stream with the OnAir Lite smartphone app and a Bluetooth connection.
The CAMLIVE (UC3022) lets easily use your existing camera for livestreaming control the stream via smartphone.
Taking Your Console on the Road
Game consoles such as the Nintendo Switch are touted for their portability but taking them anywhere isn’t always as easy as advertised. One device that makes it easier, and gives you some new functionality to boot, is the UH3235, or USB-C 4K Ultra Mini Dock with Power Pass-through (try saying that three time fast!). The UH3235 works, as you guessed, like a USB-C mini dock, and in its case with devices that feature video output with DP ALT mode. That includes certain game consoles, MacBook, iPad Pro, and smartphones. You can use it to easily share your device’s content to a 4K TV or game with friends at their house or on the road.
The ATEN UH3235 is a smaller, lighter alternative to take with you and use to connect your Switch to a friend’s TV.
At just 1.5 cm wide, and weighing in 54.9 grams, the UH3235 is smaller and more lightweight than a console base station so it’s easier to take a friend’s place. Plus, it has 60W PD charging to keep your console powered on while you and your friends play. Just make sure to use your AC adapter for the Switch.
Whether you’re looking to take your portable console to a friend’s place and dock it to their TV for multiplayer games, create higher-quality gaming videos, or even play mobile and console games with a keyboard and mouse, there are products out there that can accomplish all this and more to give you a gaming edge.
