1. LED Strip Lights
For the LED Strip Lights, We recommend getting the Tenmiro Led Lights which are easy to setup, easy to use and they have a music syncing function. This product also comes with remote and app control. LED Strip Lights are a good way of setting the ambience of your desk space and even your room.
2. LED Wall Light Panels
Nanoleaf Rhythm Edition Smarter Kit
- Rhythm Edition has sound sensors to automatically pick up audio
- Customizable colors & animations
- Voice control (Siri, OK Google or Amazon Alexa)
These panels can be used to create colorful atmosphere in your room just like the LED strip lights. In fact, I think this would go very well when paired with the LED Strip lights. Another reason why the panels are a good choice is that you can make some eye-catching art based on how you arrange the geometric shaped-panels on the wall. You position the panels to your liking so have at it.
3. Stereo Speakers
- Great overall sound
- Great bass sound & Integrated DTS:X Ultra surround sound
- Bluetooth connectivity
- Built-in LIGHTSYNC RGB lighting
Having a gaming setup means you’ll want to have a loud and crisp sound. Getting yourself some stereo speakers will improve your gaming experience or even listen to music. Who doesn’t want to play games or listen to their music from speakers with a robust sound? The Logitech G560 Speaker’s subwoofer adds to the experience alongside the speaker’s LED lights. The speakers are also Bluetooth compatible.
If you are looking for something more minimalistic with really good sound, I’d recommend the Creative Pebble V3.
4. Cable Management Tray
Yecaye 94in J Channel Cable Raceway
- Desk Messy Cable is Solved
- Opening Design on Top for Easy Cable Access
- Hassle-free 5-Minute Tape Installation
Having your cables neatly placed makes your setup more attractive. For this you will need a cable management channel/tray to hold the cables of your devices giving your setup a clean look. The cable management channel can be placed on the underside of your desk which helps to manage cable clutter and leaves very little cable being seen while you use your desk.
5. Desk Lamp
- RGB Color & Random Pattern
- Dimmable Inline Cord Switch
- USB Power Port
An alternative to LED Strip Lights would be getting yourself a desk lamp. We highly recommend the TACAHE Compact Corner Lamp. Pointing it to your wall will give the same aesthetic effect as the LED Strip Lights. The lamp serves both for aesthetic purposes or setting the mood.
6. Headphone Stand
- Durable aluminum construction
- Dynamic RGB lighting
- Built-in 3.5mm analog input enables full range Stereo or 7.1 Surround sound for an immersive, multi-channel Audio experience
With gaming headphones becoming bigger, you’ll need somewhere to place your headphones when you’re not using. Plus it would be awesome if you’re able to get cool headphone stand that’s durable. The Corsair ST100 RGB Premium Headset Stand would be an excellent choice.
7. Mouse Pad
- Moderate surface friction for low-DPI gaming
- Consistent surface texture
- Stable, comfortable base
- Strong, flexible construction
A proper gaming mouse pad will go a long way in protecting both your mouse and desk. Of course, you want to keep the top of your desk smooth and in pristine condition, free from wear. The Logitech G240 is one of the best gaming mouse pads out there.
8. Figurines
Nothing says superfan more than having a set of figurines from your favorite game, TV show, movie or comic. Wouldn’t you feel safer with a mini Master Chief watching over your setup? You can click here to view figurines from Amiibo on Amazon.
9. Charging station/USB dock
- SuperSpeed Data
- Big Expansion
- Extra Tough: Precision-designed for heat resistance and incredible durability
You’ll probably have all your USB ports on your PC occupied and still have some more devices to connect to it. You should therefore consider getting a USB Dock and get more USB ports to connect all your devices.
10. Monitor arm
Ergotron – LX Single Monitor Arm
- Broad compatibility: Fits single screens up to 34 inches diagonal and 25 pounds; compatible with VESA patterns 75x75mm and 100x100mm
- Improved comfort
- Sleek and modular design
- Built to last
Replacing the stand that came with your monitor with a monitor arm creates more room on your desk. Plus you’re able to get more angles for tilt & swivel and more heights using the monitor arms. This also enhances the look of your setup. Plus it’s ergonomic meaning it enhances efficiency and comfort.
