GameStop’s July 2019 broadcast makes the case that PC gaming isn’t just an alternative to consoles — it’s an upgrade path with no ceiling.

In the July 2019 edition of GameStop TV, the retailer’s in-store and online video series turned its attention away from console bundles and toward the accessories that make a gaming PC actually competitive. The segment walks through five pieces of hardware GameStop had on shelves that month, framing each one around a specific edge — sound, aim, tactile feedback, comfort, or motion clarity — that a stock console setup simply can’t match. It’s a retail pitch, but a specific one, with real model numbers and real spec sheets behind it.

  • The HyperX Cloud II Gaming Headset headlines the audio pitch, built around virtual 7.1 surround sound, a noise-cancelling microphone, and memory foam ear cushions.
  • The Logitech G Pro Wireless Gaming Mouse is positioned as the competitive-play centerpiece, with a 16,000 DPI sensor, customizable buttons, and a lightweight, latency-free wireless build.
  • The lineup also includes the CORSAIR K70 RGB MK.2 keyboard, the RESPAWN 110 gaming chair, and the ASUS VG279Q 144Hz monitor as supporting pieces of the same setup.

GameStop Focuses on Hardware Upgrades

The through-line of the segment is customization. A console is fixed the day you buy it; a gaming PC keeps taking new parts. GameStop TV leans into that by treating each accessory as a discrete performance upgrade rather than a bundled accessory pack — the pitch is that swapping in one piece, like a mouse or headset, can measurably change how a match feels. That’s a very different sales argument than “buy this console,” and it’s aimed squarely at the PC crowd browsing GameStop’s gaming accessories aisle rather than the console shelf.

The Audio and Aim Upgrades

The HyperX Cloud II gets the most screen time of any single product. Its virtual 7.1 surround sound is pitched as the difference between hearing footsteps and guessing at them, while the noise-cancelling mic and memory foam ear cushions are framed as comfort features for marathon sessions, not just spec-sheet bullet points.

The Logitech G Pro Wireless mouse gets the harder competitive framing. GameStop TV calls out its 16,000 DPI sensor for precision, its customizable buttons for quick access to secondary functions, and — critically for esports-minded buyers — a lightweight build that removes wireless lag as an excuse.

A gaming mouse allows for precise and accurate movements, which can make all the difference in competitive PC gaming.

Mechanical Feedback and the Rest of the Rig

Rounding out the input side, the CORSAIR K70 RGB MK.2 keyboard is highlighted for its Cherry MX RGB mechanical switches, customizable per-key lighting, and an aluminum frame built to survive the kind of use a competitive keyboard actually takes.

On comfort and display, the RESPAWN 110 Racing Style Gaming Chair — adjustable lumbar and headrest pillows, recline up to 155 degrees — gets paired with the ASUS VG279Q, a 27-inch 1080p IPS panel running 144Hz with 1ms MPRT response and ultra-low blue light tech. Together they’re the segment’s answer to the two things a headset and mouse can’t fix: how long you can sit there, and how smooth the picture looks while you do it. Readers building out a full setup around that chair-and-monitor pairing can find more on the comfort side in coverage of gaming chair setups and on the display side in looks at high-refresh gaming monitors.

None of this is framed as a one-time purchase. GameStop TV’s whole pitch is that PC gaming rewards buying the right piece now and the next piece later — headset this month, mouse next, keyboard after that — which is exactly the kind of incremental upgrade cycle that keeps players walking back into the store.
