noblechairs Memory Foam Pillow Set Fallout Nuka-Cola Special Edition (NBL-SP-PST-017)
Are you the type of gamer that likes to wander round? Us neither, and that’s why we love the EPIC Gaming Chair Fallout Nuka-Cola Edition from noblechairs. This gaming chair features the eye-catching design of everyone’s favourite post-apocalyptic beverage brand, comfortable PU leather, and dense cold foam padding, as well as the superior ergonomics of 4D armrests, 11-degree tilt rocker, and more. Then it gets even better with the matching Memory Foam Pillow Set. This adds plenty of head and lumbar support to see you through epic gaming sessions or just gives you a style statement to show off online. Either way, two ghoul thumbs up from us!
Are You Sitting Comfortably?
If you’re looking for a budget-friendly option to fill the gaming chair-sized space at your desk, then look no further. Rocking a fresh, esports-inspired design, the ThunderX3 EC1 makes it possible to get the look of a pro gamer without breaking the bank to do it. Its ergonomically-friendly design is complimented by AIR Tech, creating a breathable pinhole surface. For the monochromatic fanatics, there’s an all-black version, but if you fancy a splash of colour there’s a red and black edition that might just satisfy your palate.
EPOS H3 Pro Hybrid Bluetooth and Wired Gaming Headset
Are you trying to find the ultimate gaming headset? Maybe still making your mind up between wired and wireless? With the EPOS H3 Pro Hybrid Gaming Headset you won’t have to. This gaming headset delivers secure and lag-free performance with multiple connection options – both wireless and wired! When using it with Bluetooth you can enjoy up to 19 hours of wireless gaming. Not only have you got the sleek and stylish white option available, but also the gorgeous green and gold for you to choose.
Ducky One 3 Mechanical RGB Gaming Keyboard
Next up we have not one, not two, not three, but four awesome gaming keyboards for you to choose from. The Ducky One 3 Keyboard comes in four, gorgeous, vivid colour schemes – the bold and blue Daybreak, the funky mix of Fuji, the retro style of Matcha, and the vibrant Yellow Mini. Whichever takes your fancy, you’ll get to enjoy the all-new Quack Mechanics. This is Ducky’s core design philosophy, with every keyboard built around the ideas of a solid stance, authentic acoustics, balanced tuning, and true PBT keys.
Not only that, but every Ducky One 3 Gaming Keyboard has hot-swappable Kailh sockets in the PCB that allow you to effortlessly remove and replace the switches. Every colour keyboard comes with a wide variety of options for you to start with, like the FPS-focused Cherry Silent Red, and they are all available in four different sizes too. If that’s not enough, dazzling RGB lighting illuminates every key and can be controlled through Ducky Macro 2.0. Who can say no to so much customisation?
Some Glorious Gaming Accessories
No setup is right without one of your most faithful tools – your gaming mouse. To really level up, the Glorious Model I USB RGB Lightweight Gaming Mouse has to be the way to go. It’s available in both Matte Black (GLO-MS-I-MB) and Matte White (GLO-MS-I-MW) so you can get the model to suit your style. Both of these ultra-lightweight wired models come equipped with the BAMF sensor. This cutting-edge optical sensor provides a maximum adjustable DPI of 19,000. That kind of control is a real game-changer.
If control is really what you’re after, then make sure you also grab yourself the Glorious Model I Gaming Mouse Grip Tape (GLO-ACC-GRP-I). Pre-cut to fit the gaming mouse like a glove and easy to apply with a 3M adhesive backing, it’ll add an edge to long gaming sessions with its slip-resistant design and sweat-wicking properties. Ever been told to get a grip during a challenging game? Now you can.
Gaming Accessories for Your Desk
Of course, a great mouse deserves a proper surface to do its best work. Show your battle station you care with these gaming accessories that will take things to the next level.
First up is the OcUK Mega Mat XXL Premium Elite Tactical Gaming Surface (GS-001-OE). This mouse mat has space to spare at a roomy 890mm x 450mm. Use it to cover up your whole desk and add a slice of premium feel to your entire configuration. Its soft surface is made from woven fibre technology and is perfectly complemented by a rubberised base that provides an outstanding grip.
If you like gaming accessories with some razzle-dazzle for your setup, then the Corsair Gaming MM800C RGB POLARIS Cloth Edition Mouse Pad (CH-9440021-EU) could be for you. The textile-weave cloth design provides pixel-precise tracking and has ample surface area at 350mm x 260mm, but that’s not why it’s caught your eye. The 15 zone RGB LED customisable lighting and the built-in USB pass-through port are what you are looking at. Frankly, we cannot blame you.
Built for desk domination, the Nitro Concepts Desk Mat (NC-GP-MP-006) measures a gargantuan 1600 x 800mm. The black and red colour scheme offers a dynamic yet smart design that can give your gaming setup a uniform look. The desk mat dwarfs a typical mouse mat, giving you a soft, firm, and tactile surface to ready all your gaming accessories on.
Share the Joy of Streaming
What better accessory to gaming is there than streaming? The Streamplify brand has all the tools you need to discover the joy of streaming in 2022. Kick things off with the Streamplify STARTER Bundle, which includes a microphone, webcam, and ring light. The Streamplify MIC TRIPOD Microphone offers great flexibility with its adjustable tripod, excellent style with RGB lighting, and a streaming suitable sound with the integrated pop filter. Capture crisp, high-quality video to share with your community on the Streamplify CAM FHD 60FPS Webcam, which will look even better with the Streamplify LIGHT 10” Ring Light boosting your production values.
If you want to up your game more, Streamplify has you covered. Upgrade your lighting with the larger Streamplify LIGHT 14” Ring Light and stay organised with the Streamplify HUB CTRL 7 Deck. The latter is a great way to manage your setup, especially when you’re just getting started as the customisable acrylic icons will help you track all your devices. You can really go big with the Streamplify SCREEN LIFT, a green screen measuring 1.5 x 2m that you can easily collapse to store away in between streams.
