TIPS TO SET UP YOUR HOME GAMING STATION
Choose Your Location
The location in your home of your gaming cockpit is central to the details of your gaming station. For starters, you’ll need to know how big of a space you have in order to know which monitors to invest in, best custom gaming chair to purchase, and gaming desk to dominate from. If you have a small space, you may want to consider a small home gaming setup so it fits and so it doesn’t overwhelm the space. If you have a large room or you’re using your living room, you can probably invest in bigger equipment. You’ll also want to consider lighting, ambiance, and more for the location of your gaming station. These can play a big role in your enjoyment and ease of play as well.
Choose Your Desk
You probably already have the best gaming computer on the market, with the best monitors and peripherals. Now, you need a place for them to live so to speak, which means investing in a gaming desk. There are many great gaming desks on the market today from which to choose. You’ll want a desk with a flat surface that is big enough to accommodate all your gaming pieces. A desk with drawers or shelves can be nice because you can hide and store your joystick, games, controllers, and more when not in use, yielding a tidier area. This is also helpful when your gaming station is set up in the living room for when guests arrive.
Overall, you probably want to look for comfort above all else. It is the right height for your body and is it comfortable to rest your arms on for an extended period of time. Depending on what type of games you like to play, you may want to consider an ergonomic gaming cockpit. A gaming cockpit contains the foundations of what you will need for a home gaming station, including mounts for your screens, keyboard trays, and a chair. Obutto specializes in offering the best ergonomic gaming cockpits. Browse our selection on our website today!
Choose Your Gaming Chair
Your gaming chair will probably be the most important purchase you make outside or your gaming computer itself, so you’ll want to be sure you do your research. Don’t be tempted to buy a cheaper chair just to save money as, trust us, the aches and pains you will have in the morning from sitting in a horrible gaming chair will not be worth it. Instead, you’ll want to look for three main features in a top-notch adult gaming chair:
- Ergonomics
- Material
- Size
An ergonomic gaming chair can make all the difference in your gaming experience. You’ll want one that has superb lumbar support as well as foot rests. This will help relieve pressure off your back from sitting. Material is important as well. Some people prefer leather because they like the feel of it or vinyl because it is easy to clean. However, if you’re an adult who tends not to have messes, then we highly recommend cloth. It’s warm in the winter and soft to sit on for hours all day long. Breathable material is nice as well, such as cotton or microfiber so you don’t get too hot while sitting. You may want to consider a gaming chair with speakers as well. Obutto’s gaming seats are real race car seats and made of cloth for added comfort. Our racing cockpits are fully-adjustable and hands-down the best in the business. Order yours online today!
Choose Your Gaming Accessories
Once you have the larger pieces of your gaming station set up, now you will have a big picture view of your gaming room. You may still have room for the gaming speakers you’ve been eyeing so the sound on your games is out of this world. You may want to consider some way to hide all of the cords to your gaming system. You may want to invest in plant life to provide you with the extra oxygen you will need when your game gets super exciting, or a mini-fridge so you don’t have to trek up or down the stairs for whatever you need. Now you’ll have room for extra graphics cards and memory cards as well. And if you have a smartphone, you can order and pay for pizza and train your dog to answer the door when it arrives. Who never said gaming wasn’t about convenience?
Don’t Forget the Lights!
Any cool gaming setup has to have colored gaming lights if you want to have the full effects of a world-class gaming experience. Your lights will set the mood and provide just enough light for you to see items you may need, like your headsets, without making your screens too hard to read at night. You can get creative with the placement, from along your ceiling, underneath your desk, or around a favored object, like a painting. You can even put lighting around your gaming recliner for a cool effect. RGB (red, blue and green) LED lighting also goes well from behind screens in order to have the uplighting effect. Let’s face it, you do want to awe all of your friends who cover over to visit, even if they aren’t gamers because there is a little friendly competition with who does have the best gaming setup.
