13 Things You ABSOLUTELY NEED For That Perfect Gaming Setup

[Music] so you've got your console or your PC your screen your games maybe a good sound system you have the essentials for your gaming setup but what else can you do to enhance your gaming experience though you can have a perfectly good time with just these things with just some more stuff you can have the gaming setup of your dreams in this feature we'll talk about a few things you can do to that end some essential others not so much a comfortable chair this is probably the most obvious choice unless you're playing VR you'll be doing most of your gaming sitting down so it goes without saying that you'll need a good comfortable chair there are lots of really great options out there for this purpose Cheers that have proper lumbar support or are comfortable enough for long gaming sessions maybe even looking to getting one with cup holders or other options good lighting lighting is quite important whenever you're spending time looking at a screen you want to ensure that you don't have any light that casts a glare on your TV or monitor but you also don't want to be sitting in a completely dark room for long stretches either unless you're playing a horror game of course make sure the room that you're playing in has good lighting that can complement your gaming experience LED strips let's stick with lighting for just a second good lighting is essential and while that is of course the bare minimum you can take things a step further because lighting can be a great tool for setting the mood to get some LED strips and put them on a wall behind your screen and voila you have even better mood lighting in your room maybe even look into getting strips that can change colors and change those colors to set the tone before getting into a long gaming session cable management this is something that can be quite essential for many people especially if you have multiple consoles or the dreaded hell of cables known as PlayStation VR you want your cables to be neat and organized not only to avoid the mess but also to be able to sort through them efficiently whenever you need to look into getting cable holders velcro cable sleeves and cable boxes if you can't get your hands on any of those maybe try using duct tape or strings cable management is essential so make sure you check that box controller grips these are by no means essential that can come in quite handy especially if you're really into the competitive gaming scene the best of the best controller and thumb stick grips out there do have an impact on performance but even if that's something that doesn't concern you these can still be pretty useful especially because they also help a great deal with making controllers much more comfortable to use keyboard brush if you're using a computer on a regular basis a keyboard brush is something that you should have and even use even if you don't play games too often keyboards are prone to getting dirty for obvious reasons and if you ignore cleaning them every now and then they can get well pretty nasty use a keyboard brush regularly and you can at least make sure that you keep them functioning well external HDD as games become larger and larger by the year having external storage for your gaming setup becomes more and more necessary especially if you're more into digital purchases you don't want to constantly be deleting downloading and redownload in games so having external memory can be a huge help especially if your console doesn't have too much internal memory also make sure that you do some research before buying a hard drive because you don't want to end up with one that runs at a snail's pace wall mounts again this is not as essential as some of the other entries on this list but having wall mounts can help you keep your gaming setup clean and organized placing your consoles and controllers and games and what-have-you on wall mounted shelves rather than cramming them all onto a single table is a great way to ensure that you don't end up with too much clutter to deal with art and posters any great gaming setup needs sprucing up and what better way to do that than by hanging up posters and art from your favorite games or even movies TV shows or books maybe even hang up some of those LED strips we talked about earlier around your favorite posters and art to give them an even better look and make them pop even more figures once more by no means a necessity but just like having art and posters having figures toys or collectables from your favorite games can be a great way to spruce up your gaming setup there's no shortage of ways to do that other than simply buying specific figures or collectibles deluxe editions of games also come with some really cool stuff well there's also things like amiibo that you can collect Foot hammock this one is all about comfort and maybe something that some really good chairs might preclude but if you find that you want something for the comfort of your feet as well you can look into buying a foot hammock and hang it up under your desk for particularly long gaming sessions these can be an absolute essential part and make those long gaming hours much more comfortable headsets stand a good gaming headset can be an essential part of your gaming experience especially if you're into multiplayer games so there's a pretty good chance you already have one of those but also make sure you have a proper dedicated headset stand it's better to have a place where you can neatly put your headset back when you're done rather than just throwing it back on your table plenty of room this one isn't something that applies to every single person out there and yes obviously it's something that may not be in your control and all but having plenty of room is basically a necessity if you're into VR gaming nearly every single VR headset out there hinges on users having a certain amount of space to move and look around that goes hand in hand with the very nature of the medium while some higher-end headsets like the valve index for instance make that even more of a requirement again this isn't something that's always in your control but if you are thinking of getting a VR headset make sure you have enough room for it in and around your gaming setup and that about does it for this video if you enjoyed what you watched and want to see more from gaming bolt you can
