CORE Essentials to Take it EAZE-Y
ThunderX3 dropped two game-changing chair series: the CORE and EAZE. Both offer extensive adjustability, enhanced ergonomics, and – my favourite – a pocket on the back which definitely can be used for snacks.
CORE
The ThunderX3 CORE elevates your comfort levels with the SYNC6 mechanism, offering six-way adjustability. You can effortlessly configure this chair to fit your exact ergonomic needs. Better yet, the backrest includes a self-adjusting lumbar panel that will conform to your shape and position. Wrigglers rejoice!
This is the CORE Modern, with PU leather upholstery and a sleek black finish.
EAZE
The ThunderX3 EAZE is similar in style and design to the CORE, with a few minor changes. Better suited for shorter or younger gamers, this chair features a SYNC4 mechanism with four-way adjustability, 2D armrests, and a plush neck pillow contoured to provide unrivalled support.
This is the EAZE Loft, with breathable fabric upholstery and a subtle grey finish.
A three-in-one footrest launched with the ThunderX3 CORE. While one is included with every CORE, it can also be purchased separately and used with any chair – EAZE, Nitro, or even noble! It has a flat, solid base and a domed pillow with firm foam padding. As the “three-in-one” might suggest, it can be used in one of three ways. It functions as a footrest in two modes, Footrest and Rocker. In Footrest, you have the solid base on the ground and rest your feet on the padding, to stimulate blood circulation and maintain posture. For Rocker, you flip it round and rest your feet on the firm base, with the padded section providing a gentle rocking action to engage your leg muscles.
The third and final use is as a wrist rest. Simply bring the footrest onto your desk or lap and use it to rest your wrists as you game with a console controller.
I Need a HERO
It is no secret that we love us some noblechairs – and with their stunning special edition chairs, can you blame us?! Now, we could pick literally any two (preferably all) gaming chairs from their special edition range, but today we’re focusing on two iconic white chairs. The HERO Resident Evil Umbrella Edition and LEGEND Starfield Edition.
HERO Resident Evil Umbrella
A work of simple mastery, the HERO Resident Evil Umbrella chair sports white and black upholstery, using both PU and high-tech vinyl leather for enhanced breathability. What really gives us heart eyes is the subtle detail stitched onto the pronounced wings, forming a double-helix DNA-like pattern. Paired with the Umbrella Corporation branding, this chair would look right at home in the exec offices of Raccoon City.
Naturally, this gaming chair is also packed with the superior ergonomics that give noblechairs their rank. From adjustable integrated lumbar support to 4D armrests, comfort has never looked so good.
LEGEND Starfield Edition
Explore the stars in elevated comfort, with the LEGEND Starfield Edition. The LEGEND gaming chair draws inspiration from all the other noblechairs series, to form an elegant, comfortable shape. The Starfield design takes this to a whole new level. The front features star maps subtly stitched onto the white high-tech vinyl, whilst the back provides a pop of colour with the Starfield logo stitched onto black PU leather.
All this, and there are highly adjustable ergonomic features which allow you to configure this chair to best suit your needs?

In addition to this, noblechairs has updated their footrest, with the Footrest 2. Available in a range of materials, this has been engineered to enhance comfort levels, especially when used in tandem with a noblechairs gaming chair. The incline angle can be adjusted up to 45-degrees to facilitate better weight distribution and a more relaxed posture.
Bougie stuff.

Lights, Camera, Action!
Streamplify has a whole new bunch of goodies to simplify yet enhance our streaming. The CAM PRO brings 4K video to the table, with nifty enhancement features like a 5X digital zoom and auto-light adjustments. Showing its versatility, the MIC PRO has four individual condenser capsules, each with their own unique pick-up pattern. Choose between stereo, cardioid, omni-, and bi-directional polar patterns – whichever one matches your need at the time! Both of these can be affixed to the MOUNT LIFT, an innovative arm mount that boasts extensive adjustability and compatibility. For console streamers out there, the CAPTURE 4K offers pass-through video and audio in 4K resolutions at 60Hz. Smooth. Better yet, the incredibly low latency will keep your audio and visuals in sync.
Now, it may already be an established classic in the Streamplify range, but we’re still loving the efficiency and style the HUB DECK 5 brings to our set-ups. With five USB ports – one including power charging! – and interchangeable keycaps to denote function, this handy dandy deck keeps us organised and looking good.

Oh yes, you read that right. Fans of Fallout and DOOM are going to love these. Ducky has teamed up with both these iconic games to bring you the Ducky x Fallout and Ducky x DOOM One 3 keyboards. Marvel at their glory.
Fallout
Welcome to the wasteland. We have finely tuned gaming keyboards with impeccable style. Worth every last bottle cap. The Ducky x Fallout is a full-sized gaming keyboard that harnesses innovative Quack Mechanics to deliver an unrivalled typing experience. The white top plate is the perfect canvas for the yellow and blues, emulating the Vault-Tec branding perfectly. There are even novelty keycaps with Vault Boy pulling various faces which you can easily swap in.
There are a number of different models, each featuring a different genuine Cherry MX switch.
DOOM
Rip and tear! The Slayer has never looked better than standing astride five-side dye sub keycaps and bathed in an RGB glow. The black and red frame serves as the perfect backdrop to this stunning keycap design, with demonic sigils printed on the bottom for good measure. Utilising the compact SF (65%) form factor, this stunning keyboard saves on space but still boasts full, layered functionality. What’s more, this is a One 3 keyboard and features the Quack Mechanics for enhanced typing, too.
Once again, you have a choice between Cherry MX switches.
Tired of boring USB cables? Jazz things up with a Ducky Coiled Cable V2, available in a range of pastels.

Measuring 800mm by 350mm, this spacious mouse mat facilitates smooth, consistent gliding while boosting your aesthetics. With its incredible blue and yellow style, this gaming surface would look right at home in your Vault.

Mice, Glorious Mice!
The Glorious Model D is a classic among gaming mice. Well, now it is new and improved with the Model D 2, available in both wired and wireless editions. The Model D 2 is crafted to suit claw and palm grips, with its ultra-light weight actively reducing fatigue in your hand. Equipped with a proprietary Glorious BAMF 2.0 optical sensor, you can enjoy pixel-precise tracking with up to 26K DPI, 50G acceleration, and 650 IPS. Plus, the Glorious G-Skates offer near frictionless movement for the smoothest gliding action.

Cutting Edge Tech
If you’ve been counting, we are down to our last three accessories for 2024. Naturally, we had to round out this list with Endgame Gear, specifically the OP1 8K gaming mouse and its matching Universal Switch Kit.
The Endgame Gear OP1 8K is a wired gaming mouse with an incredible 8,000Hz polling rate. This means it sends signals from your mouse to your computer eight times faster than the standard polling rate. The more information sent, the more accurately the mouse is tracked. As a result, you can game with an incredible competitive edge and leave your opponents in the dust!
For enthusiasts out there, the OP1 8K is highly moddable, too. Which is where the universal switch kit comes in. The main buttons are installed with Kailh GX mechanical switches, offering a short, well-defined click with tactile feedback. If this isn’t your style, the Universal Switch Kit contains seven different pairs of mechanical switches, each with their own feedback, actuation force, and click profile. Two universal PCBs are included, too, making installation simple. Craft the OP1 8K to meet your playstyle like you’d mod your weapons in-game!
