Your gaming experience is determined by not only your skills in getting the most headshots but also your gaming setup. Having a comfy, adaptable gaming room or desk setup is essential to the enjoyment of gaming. We don’t want to see you “ragequit” from feeling cramped or not being agile enough to angle the controller properly.
Whether you’re lucky enough to have a whole room dedicated to the game or you have a corner of the room devoted to your favorite pastime, we’ve found some pretty epic gaming setup ideas to suit everyone’s needs. Check them out!
1. The Right Gaming Chair
Comfort is key in gaming. Often, us gamers overlook the importance of making sure we’re looking after ourselves in order to focus on winning. If we’re in the midst of an hours-long session and we’re sitting on an unsupportive chair, we can damage our backs. The solution? We need an ergonomic gaming chair – and there are some amazing choices out there for us.
Having a game chair means we are comfortable, supported and in the best position to become the GOAT at Halo. There are so many ones to choose from; different colors to match your space, ones that have your favorite game on it, to the enviable LANGTAOSHA Scorpion Gaming Chair – where you have the screen hanging over your head – like your own gaming pod!
2. Immersive Headsets and Speakers
Want to add an extra level to your gaming experience? Gaming tech has become so advanced nowadays that we can have a nearly life-like, immersive experience inside our games. Virtual reality headsets and speakers with 8D audio provides us with an enchanting experience that is incomparable to anything else.
If you want to up your gaming setup, amplifying your sensory experience will add a whole new layer to your gaming experience. Having immersive accessories will also give you a competitive advantage as they often allow the gamer more spatial awareness and a sense of presence within the kingdom or dystopian setting they are playing in.
There are plenty of amazing options for VR headsets and immersive speakers to suit all budgets and styles.
3. RGB Lighting
With RGB lighting, your gaming room will be lit up to compliment the amazing animations of your game – even when you’re not gaming the lighting is a great way to light up your room.
You can get strip lighting to put around your setup or you can add RGB lights behind your monitors that change color to match the hues and gradients of your game as you’re playing! These lights are often more energy efficient and durable than your regular lighting, so you can create the right mood and atmosphere while being more eco-friendly. Win-win!
4. Multi-Monitor Arrangement
What’s better than just one monitor to play your games? Multiple, of course! Having multiple monitors is an incredible feature for your gaming setup, whether you want a wider FOV (field of view), want to monitor your mates or have the chat open on a different screen – having more than one screen will transform your experience.
Whilst there is no maximum to how many monitors you can have, it is important to note that there will only be so many your computer’s graphics card and motherboard will be able to accommodate. Just make sure you check your computer’s limits to have the best gaming experience!
5. Fuel for the Games
Sometimes when we’re in the midst of a really important game, it’s almost an out of body experience and we forget we also need fuel. As real-life 3D beings, we also need some XP so we can be the best player possible.
If you have the space for it, why not keep a mini fridge if your gaming room setup? Filled with water or your favorite soda, also keep some good snacks in there such as fruit to keep you energized!
6. Wireless Accessories
There is nothing more frustrating than getting tangled up with wires and cables when you’ve got some duals to win. The simplest solution to this inconvenience is wireless accessories! Keyboards, headsets and speakers are just some of the essential gaming accessories that we no longer have to find ourselves tied to.
The charge of most of these devices last way longer than the average gaming session, just make sure to monitor the charge so they don’t flat line at the most inconvenient time!
As these games are more portable, another benefit is that if you’re planning to go to your friend’s house for a gaming and pizza session, it’s super easy to transport your devices to their house.
7. Gaming Decor
Decorating your room with homages to your favorite games is an excellent way to level up your gaming setup.
We’re thinking neon lighting, figurines of all of your favorite characters and prints. Having gaming decor will add to the atmosphere of your gaming room or zone, it will also add a personal touch with memorabilia to all of the games you like to play.
