Wireless accessories, including the Logitech G Pro X Superlight mouse, offer freedom of movement, making them more convenient. This is elevating the gaming accessories market price.
Online sales channels, such as Amazon and Best Buy, have gained popularity for gaming accessories due to their product diversity, reasonable pricing, and home delivery.
