Allthough he bowed out of the pro-Fortnite scene in April 2020, Chap is still recognized for his insane mechanical and shooting skills, so it might be worth considering the equipment that forms part of Chap’s gaming setup. We have therefore provided you with an overview of his peripherals.
Chap is the embodiment of a new streamer’s dream, as his rise as a twenty-something streamer was relatively rapid. He only started streaming Fortnite in January 2018, and yet was still able to make his mark in the community by climbing the leaderboard rankings and online tournaments consistently enough to attract the attention of Team Liquid by June 2018.

It has eight programmable buttons, namely the clickers, scroll wheel, and five buttons on the right side. These comprise of 3 DPI buttons and back and forward buttons. The dpi buttons are preset with values of 400, 800, 1600 and 3200, with a dpi shift of 400. It only has a blue LED lighting option.
This mouse has dimensions of 4.1 x 7.2 x 13.6cm (1.67 x 2.83 x 5.35”), weighs 108g (3.68oz) and has a 2.1m (82.68”) cable. It is compatible with Windows 7 or later.

These adjustments can be made directly through the keyboard by means of the OLED screen and controls on the top right corner of the keyboard. Furthermore, these switches have an actuation force is 45cN (45.9G) and their response time is 0.7ms. The keys are also set with RGB backlighting, with colors and effects that can be set on a per-key basis through the SteelSeries Engine software.
It is constructed on a Series 5000 metal frame and has a soft-such removable magnetic wrist-rest. It requires either the Mac OSX 10.11 or Windows 7 as the earliest operating systems in order to function.

Additionally, it has a Signal-to-Noise ratio of 71dB and has a maximum input sound level of 136 dB SPL.
The casing comprises of solid metal and it is powered with an XLR cable and requires +48V of phantom power to run, so you will need to invest in an XLR cable and audio-interface in order to use it. It does, however, come with a shock mount, stand nut and pleather carry case.
