Having the right equipment is vital to any gamer’s success. Yes, you can have extra triggers, performance controllers and higher refresh rates but have you thought about the positioning of your battle station or console area?
Most of us have a simple system, but there are some hardcore gamers that are putting time into their build to make it the best it can be. From gaming desks, gaming chairs, monitor stands, mic booms and much more. Streamers can spend up to 6 hours at a time during a stream and you need to be comfortable. Spending a bit of cash can really help!
Have you thought about it carefully? Is your monitor at eye height this should be around one arm’s length away from your hand. One thing we have to realise with regards to this is that everyone is different, so if you don’t feel conformable please re adjust, you may need a few tries before you get it right. Have you seen our monitor stands which attach to your desk? They allow you to constantly change the height and angle of the monitor?
How is your chair positioned? Does it support your neck and back correctly for those long night gaming sessions? Making sure that the chair is angled between 90-120 degrees, with a lumbar support conforming to the NATURAL curvature of your lower back is vital. Get your hands on an awesome gaming chair from one of the brands we work with, they have multiple headsets, position settings and are super comfortable too!
