Gaming headset with boom mic
(paid link)
Support and shotcaller roles live on comms quality. A cardioid boom mic cuts background noise better than inline mics.
USB condenser microphone
(paid link)
If you already own good headphones, a dedicated mic is the single biggest upgrade for teammate clarity.
Tenkeyless gaming keyboard

Shorter boards bring your mouse closer to home row, reducing shoulder fatigue over long support sessions.
