Here in the Search nav, you can.... SEARCH. Start typing a game or gamer, it will autosuggest. Press one to go, or hit Enter to get the full search results.
Below the searchbox, you'll see recent games, gamers, clubs, events, and quests you've visited.
Below that is the full site map with all of the different pages on this platform. Most of these are accessible in the other navs too. But here they're all in one place, if you're into that sort of thing.
Jump in a virtual or IRL event, tournament, or league. Participate in a Quest (a gaming challenge that you can do any time). Channel 3 has something for all skill levels, including gaming-focused daily minigames.
Go to Events below to search for real-time tournaments or other events. Quests will show you offline challenges you can complete at any time.
Channel 3 has a subscription called Turbo that costs $5/month. THIS IS COMPLETELY OPTIONAL. Turbo helps support the platform, and gives you access to special features and the ability to unlock certain prizes.
You may have friends here already, or you may meet your next lifelong squadmate here. Either way, Channel 3 is most fun when you find your people and can have friendly competitions and participate in challenges together.
Below you can navigate all the gamers, clubs, and causes on Channel 3.
If you'd like to create and run a Club, submit an New Club Request.
Whether it's 1 to 2, or 99 to 100, leveling up is the best feeling in the world. On Channel 3, when you participate in quests, when your post gets 1Up'd, when you crush a daily minigame, you get XP. Get 1k XP, and you level up and unlock rewards. Rewards can be custom reaction GIFs, cool backgrounds, or prize wheel spins for IRL gaming gear or in game currency.
Turbo is an optional subscription for superusers. You don't need Turbo to enjoy Channel 3. Turbo users get early access to new features, and are able to unlock more levels in a season.
On Channel 3, seasons last 3 months. They will always run January 1 - April 1, April 1 - July 1, July 1 - October 1, and October 1 - January 1.
Open channel3.gg in Chrome. Click the Install icon in the right side of the address bar:
Click Install when you get this prompt.
After installation, you can pin to the Windows taskbar alongside your other favorite apps.
Open channel3.gg in Safari. It has to be Safari.
Tap the Share button in the middle of the footer.
Tap Add to Home Screen.
Tap Add on the prompt.
BOOM. You're done. iPhones try to act like it's "just a website bookmark" because they want everyone to go through the App Store but really it functions just like an app... Full screen, moveable icon on your home screen. All of it.
Enjoy.
Install the Channel 3 app from the Google Play Store.

Some things need wires, some don't. I don't want to mess with recharging mid game. While I do enjoy having a less cluttered desk with wireless, having controls stop working mid fight is unacceptable
It depends on what I’m playing and how I feel that day. I generally used wired devices (headset and mouse/controller) when playing GTA V RP, World of Warcraft and Rocket League. In GTA and WOW, if m...more
I didn’t play with wired controllers for 15-20 years just to not use wireless when the tech finally came around. I would hardwire my console if I had Ethernet handy though.
I have to agree with @dantucker not having to untangle is the best feeling wired is like when you put wired headphones in your pocket then you will have to waste 10 minutes of your day untangling them...more
my mouse and keyboard are always wired, however wireless tech has come along way and logitech makes wireless peripherals that are just as good as wired.
Wireless controllers, but I do have wired headsets. All my gaming stuff is currently in our living room, and with two kids running around playing in there wired stuff is dangerous.
When playing Kart or Fall Guys, it's wireless controller & AirPods for discord. I also like to toss my controller in the air (see comments) & it's harder to do with a cord.
when playing xbox, still...more
I'm currently mostly wired. But thinking of making the leap to wireless for some peripherals, especially keyboard and mouse, but i may keep the controllers wired. So (most of) the back and forth here ...more
I barely remember to plug-in my phone and now you want me to plug-in my controller, headset, charging dock, backup controller, backup headset, random battery pack that hasn't been unplugged since I op...more
Ok this is a complicated one:
Controllers - wired
Headset - wired
Mouse - wireless
Keyboard - wireless
When playing keyboard mouse, the way I like to set everything up requires a wireless keyboar...more
Well…it’s all based on the game/competitiveness of what I’m playing. My Xbox elite controller is always wired since I’m playing PvP games on that. Headset is wireless since I use it for all 3...more
I am sure this is going to split between console and PC users. I am OG and play games on the 65 inch screen TV with my feet raised in the recliner. I have to many memories of face planting on SNES cor...more
I have a solid mix of wired/wireless stuff, but I think I have to go wired here. And it's not even because it's "optimal performance". Though this may be true, I'm too Aggressively Mediocre for it to ...more
You can't have one without the other. Both are worthy and I use both in specific situations. Sitting at my computer desk, wired. Sitting on the couch, wireless.
I'll choose wired for everything except a mouse if I could. Controller/Headset/Keyboard/Etc.. I'm getting old and I'll take every opportunity to cut response time down if I can. Even if it's a fractio...more
I’ll have to agree with @elrey on this one.
Don’t get me wrong, wireless is definitely more convenient (and with modern consoles I often play wirelessly).
But if I’m playing anything competiti...more
Tough choice with @dantucker looking like he's going to beat me up and @elrey looking like he's not mad at me, he's just really disappointed. That said, I'll go wireless. Mostly because wired would be...more
With the exception of my keyboard, I have made the move to Wireless and will never look back. Especially with the advent of Logitech lightspeed which charges the mouse right on the pad, it's glorious
Wireless for most things because I like to lay across the couch when I play. Plus I have the wireless NES controllers for the Switch. But I've got an old school NES set up in the basement that has all...more
I get the microseconds that make a difference, but the convenience of wireless trumps the fact that I'm not good enough at gaming for nanoseconds to matter. This was perfectly timed after I just had t...more
Wireless is king! But if I was trying to get really serious about gaming, I wouldn't hesitate to wire it up or do anything possible to shave off those milliseconds!
All wireless to keep out tripping hazards, plus my couch is pretty far away from the TV. I don’t think I own any wired controllers/keyboards/mouse at this point except for on my older consoles
Yes, wired is better, but considering I game in my living room, and have 5 crazy pets and a kid that's fixing to be 3, wireless is just the way to go for me.
