Our Story

The genesis of Nexgen Peripherals is a story born from shared frustration around a local gaming cafe. Our founders, a tight-knit group of competitive FPS and strategy players, constantly struggled with the inconsistency of mainstream gaming peripherals. They encountered everything from sensors that failed during crucial flick-shots to keyboards that registered multiple keypresses at once. This recurring hurdle sparked a simple, yet powerful idea: what if someone curated equipment based solely on proven performance and unwavering reliability?

This idea started small. The founders began sourcing individual components and modifying existing hardware for their friends and local teammates, focusing on enhancing sensor performance and switch reliability. Word of their expertise spread quickly through the regional tournament scene. What began as a passion project in a cluttered garage soon evolved into a bustling community service, with gamers traveling from neighboring cities to have their gear "ApexTuned." This hands-on period was our most valuable education, providing deep, practical insight into what truly matters in gaming hardware.

The decision to formalize into Nexgen Peripherals in 2015 was a natural progression. The team secured a small commercial unit on Silicon Drive, transforming their grassroots operation into a professional venture. The early days were fueled by an unwavering commitment to their core values: no flashy gimmicks, only proven performance. They personally tested every model from emerging manufacturers, building a curated inventory that was small but exceptionally trustworthy. Their reputation grew not through massive marketing, but through the consistent victories and endorsements of their satisfied customers.

From that single storefront, Nexgen Peripherals has expanded to serve a national community of dedicated gamers. While our reach has grown, our foundational spirit remains unchanged. We still operate on the principle that if a product doesn't meet our own standards for competitive play, it doesn't belong on our virtual shelves. Our story is still being written, driven by the same passion that filled that garage—a relentless pursuit to provide every gamer with the tools for victory.
