Gaming is a great way to have fun, relax and train your hand-eye coordination. Whether you are just starting out in gaming or consider yourself a pro, having the right equipment is important and ensures maximum gaming fun. From the right chair to the right technology and equipment, there are certain things you need if you want to have the ultimate gaming room at home. Read on for some great tips and suggestions to help you create a playroom you'll never want to leave!
Protect your back with the right gaming chair
As a gamer, you need a comfortable and supportive chair with the right features. Here are some things to look for when choosing the right gaming chair.
Gaming chair with good back support
A good back support is the most important element of a gaming chair as it aligns your spine and keeps your body in the right position. Prefer chairs that have lumbar support and an adjustable design so you can adjust the angle of the backrest as needed. With the right back support, you will feel more comfortable, have more energy and can avoid pain or injury when sitting for long periods of time.
Gaming chair with adjustable armrests
Adjustable armrests give you more control over your arm and hand position. Look for a gaming chair with movable armrests that you can move up, down, forward and back for optimal support.
Ergonomic gaming chair
An ergonomic gaming chair gives you all the support you need to stay comfortable. Ergonomic chairs should have features such as a headrest, lumbar support and adjustable height so you sit in the right position while gaming. Your chair should offer you a combination of support, comfort and posture improvement all in one!
Gaming chair with adjustable cushions
Gaming chairs with adjustable cushions allow you to be more comfortable while gaming. Most chairs with adjustable cushions have a lumbar "pillow" attached to the backrest, as well as seat, back and headrest pads that you can move to best fit your body.
Material of the gaming chair
Don't forget to choose the right fabric or cover for your new gaming chair. Mesh is ideal for warmer environments as it is breathable and cool. Fabric or leather is a good option if you live in a colder place and need your chair to keep you warm.
Go all out with RGB / LED
In the gaming world, RGB / LED refers to red, green and blue. Let RGB inspire your lighting and colour design. Here are some tips and gaming accessories that will help you create a great LED-lit gaming room.
RGB / LED Gaming Chair
There are many futuristic gaming chairs that have built-in RGB/LED lighting. These chairs need to be comfortable, but they also need to have the right lighting around the backrest, seat and headrest to create the look you want.

The perfect gamer desk
In addition to your gaming chair, gaming webcam and gaming headset, make sure you have the right desk for your needs. Here are some tips to help you find the perfect desk for your gaming set-up.
Gamer desk size
As with other furniture, make sure your gaming desk fits well in the room. Decide whether you need a tall or long desk, depending on your console type and gaming habits. A tall desk will provide more vertical storage space, while a wider desk will give you more elbow room and space for a larger keyboard or mousepad. Measure the desk space before you invest to make sure it will fit.

Of course, no gamer setup is complete without the right gaming computer, so take a look at these features to complete your gamer PC.
Gaming mouse
A gaming mouse has a faster response time than a standard mouse. Look for a gamer mouse with the right DPI (dots per inch) depending on whether you use fast or "normal" hand movements. Your mouse should be comfortable and have a good grip to keep your hand and wrist stable.

Gaming keyboard
Look for a keyboard made of durable ABS plastic so it will last and not scratch. A backlight is standard on most gamer keyboards, which also offer a variety of colours and patterns to make gaming more interactive. A one-handed keyboard allows you to type with one hand while leaving the other hand free for the mouse.
