Level up your setup
INSIDE THIS GUIDE
The accessories that will actually change how you play.
It started with a good chair. Then the right headset, and suddenly your old keyboard feels unbearable. We've rounded up the gear that pros swear by and accessories our users are obsessed with.
SECTION 01
Controllers & Input Devices
Four devices that every annoyingly good player is using right now.
1.1
Razer
Razer Viper V3 Pro Wireless Gaming Mouse
Valorant pros have switched to this gaming mouse and the internet noticed. It weighs basically nothing so going back to anything heavier feels like dragging a brick around.
1.2
Microsoft
Xbox Elite Wireless Controller Series 2
Streamers and competitive console players have been using this for years, so it's about time you switched as well. Once you perfect the thumbstick tension and remap the back paddles, your old one will feel like a toy afterward.
1.3
Corsair
Corsair K70 RGB MK.2 Mechanical Gaming Keyboard
The mechanical keyboard rabbit hole has four million people in it on Reddit alone. This is one of the products that keeps showing up in every subthread and our users love it.
1.4
Sony
PlayStation 5 DualSense Edge Wireless Controller
Sony's answer to the Elite Controller is this, and it holds up. The stick modules swap when they start drifting, the back buttons remap per game, and it stores sensitivity profiles per title.
SECTION 02
Audio & Headsets
From the headset streamers wear on camera to the one they use when no one is watching.
2.1
Corsair
Corsair Virtuoso RGB Wireless XT Headset
Top streamers run dual audio setups for a reason. This one connects to your PC and PlayStation simultaneously. The memory foam pads feel like they were made for a minimum four-hour long gaming session.
2.2
SteelSeries
SteelSeries Arctis Nova Pro Wireless
Streamers who go live for 12+ hours use this to avoid a mid-session dead battery disaster. The Nova Pro has a dual battery dock so one charges while the other runs.
2.3
Razer
Razer BlackShark V3 Pro
Esports pros who compete in loud arenas have been defaulting to closed-back headsets because they block everything out. This one especially seals out all noise and the detachable mic is cleaner than the in-line ones most people wear.
2.4
Logitech
Logitech G735 Wireless Gaming Headset
Logitech designed this headset with glasses wearers in mind. The earcup rotation reduces clamping pressure so your frames don't dig into your head after an hour of use. The white colorway is all over aesthetic desk setups on TikTok too.
SECTION 03
Displays & Visual Upgrades
Upgrades that make your setup look as good as it plays.
3.1
Govee
Govee Smart LED Light Bars
Just about every gaming setup on YouTube and Twitch seems to have one of these behind their monitor. And they're ridiculously easy to set up. All you have to do is pair them with the Govee app and set them to pulse with your game audio.
3.2
Nanoleaf
Nanoleaf Rhythm Edition Smarter Kit
These are slightly more aesthetically pleasing than the LED bar but most people just don't know they exist. The modular triangles connect however you want and pulse to whatever you're playing.
3.3
ASUS
ASUS TUF Gaming 31.5" HDR Monitor
Going from 60Hz to 170Hz is the upgrade that all gamers wish they had made sooner. At 31.5 inches and with QHD resolution, you'll be able to pick up on new details in games you've played for years.
3.4
Corsair
Elgato Stream Deck MK.2
This is the secret piece of equipment streamers have used for years to switch between scenes mid-stream. They can be programmed for literally anything. Volume, lighting, app shortcuts, you name it. Now it's a peak productivity tool.
SECTION 04
Comfort & Setup Essentials
The upgrades that make a huge difference.
4.1
Secretlab
Secretlab TITAN Evo NanoGen™ Edition
Secretlab is the brand that serious players have defaulted to for years. The NanoGen fabric is soft and has a magnetic cooling-gel head pillow that is the detail everyone loves when they use it.
4.2
Secretlab
Secretlab MAGNUS Pro Sit-to-Stand Metal Desk
Standing desks are the ultimate office upgrade for all people from WFHers to gamers. And this is the pinnacle of all standing desks. The built-in cable routing means you aren't staring at ugly cords so your setup will look even more aesthetic.
4.3
Razer
Razer Iskur V2 Gaming Chair
Razer built this gaming chair with one thing in mind. Lumbar support. The built-in adjustable lumbar system means no separate pillow is needed and the foam holds its shape through long nights of gaming.
4.4
AndaSeat
AndaSeat Kaiser 3 Ergonomic Chair
AndaSeat has been quietly competing with Secretlab for a couple years now. Their products are equally as good, but the Kaiser is their best chair to date. It has built-in 4D lumbar support, a magnetic neck pillow, and a frame rated for 440 lbs. Closer in quality than you'd expect.
