Gamers & researchers go the extra mile behind their PC to either improve their skills or improve their work. So, if you’re spending hours behind a screen, for whatever reason, here’s our round up of the accessories you need on your desk right now.
LED Strips
LED’s are now widely available and cheap to buy, which makes them a simple and cost effective way to transform your gaming space. LED’s are a great way to add atmosphere to your desk, monitor, or wall, and can help transform your gaming zone.
With many strips offering sound responsive displays that respond to in game noises, LED’s are a lot of fun. Even better, with a wide variety of color choices on offer, you can pick your teams favourite colour and turn your gaming zone into the ultimate fan zone.
LED’s do more than look cool, the addition of backlighting to your gaming rig can help lessen eye strain by reducing the contrast between your screen’s brightness and the rest of the room.
Mouse Mat
When we say mouse mat, we don’t mean your average, small, mouse mat that have been around since day one. No, we’re talking about a desk covering mouse mat that will not only give you more mouse mobility, but also provide another chance to change up your gaming experience. If you’re dealing with large spreadsheets while researching your online betting, this is a must have.
Large mouse mats provide coverage for the entire desk, which means no matter how much data you have stored you will still have plenty of space for your mouse. Larger mats also support different mouse grips and are perfect for low-sensitivity gamers. Those with higher sensitivity will appreciate the improved sensitivity of larger gaming mouse pads over conventional mats.
To help customise your mat, look at buying one with RGB illumination around the edges and light it up in your team colours.
Speakers
No gaming rig is complete without quality speakers. They play a crucial role in providing the immersive, atmospheric experience that makes gaming so much fun. Speakers come in all shapes and sizes, so there is guaranteed to something that will fit the space you have.
When it comes to customisation, take a look at the new breed of RGB speakers that respond to gameplay and provide an added layer of interest with their impressive light displays. Alternatively, choose your favourite colour and create the perfect gaming ambience.
Gaming Keyboard
A crucial part of any gaming rig is the keyboard. The best come with media controls, macro buttons, and the ability to program it according to your gaming preferences. Some keyboards, such as the Razer BlackWidow V4 Pro, come with a Command Dial. This feature allows you to easily switch between apps and games, adjust brightness, zoom, and much more. Impressively, it’s possible to store as many as five profiles on the keyboard.
The best boards will also allow you to tailor it to each game you play, and a polling rate of up to 1000Hz. That means the computer checks for keystrokes 1000 times each second, which can help give gamers a crucial edge. RGB lighting for customisation is also another option to consider.
Gaming Desk
Yes, this is a list of accessories you need on your desk, but have you thought about actually just changing your desk? It’s an essential part of any PC gaming rig, providing a secure, safe space that’s big enough for all of your gear.
Features to look out for include:
- Adjustable height
- Standing options
- Cable management
- Gaming mouse that covers the desk
- Sturdiness
- Lighting options
Water Bottle
Any good athlete will tell you the importance of staying hydrated. Lack of fluid can severely impact performance, both mentally and physically. That’s why it makes sense to have a water bottle to hand for those long, all-consuming gaming sessions. So, if you can’t drag yourself away from the onscreen action, a water bottle means you’ve got a drink to hand to keep you alert and focused.
There’s a huge choice of bottle colours to choose from too, so you can easily colour match your bottle to your gaming rig. Alternatively, why not have it personalised and add your favourite teams name to give it a sporting theme.
