If you’re in search of some new gaming accessories to compliment your setup then you’ve come to the right place.
Innovation has always been an important part of gaming, and with so many advanced tools flooding the market each year, you might be surprised on what you’re missing.
In this list, we will cover all of the latest hardware ranging from skins to stands, and cables to cradles that you can use to enhance your battle station.
These items not only serve to meet a function, but also the overall aesthetic appeal.
What are the best accessories for my gaming setup?
1. VR Headset
VR Headsets are the latest way to engage in a virtual space that appears realistic. The technology has finally become more affordable for the mass market, and the number of compatible games is rapidly increasing.
If you think you don’t need a virtual reality headset then think twice, using a VR headset will allow you to experience games in a whole new light than you’re used to. They particularly focus on interaction with all the details in the environment, and require much more concentration of movement.
There are several types of VR headsets to choose from. We recommend picking up a portable device (like this one from Oculus Rift) so you don’t run the risk of tripping over wires. It comes with two touch controllers, and features “Insight” tracking, allowing you to freely move around with no limits.
Immerse yourself in new worlds with a VR headset.
- All-in-one VR: Simply set up the device with your Oculus mobile app and Oculus Quest has everything you need to explore VR, right out of the box
- Insight tracking: Oculus Insight tracking system instantly reflects your movements in VR without the need for any external accessories
- Touch controllers: Oculus Touch controllers precisely recreate your hands, their gestures and interactions, so every game is real enough to reach out and touch
- Beyond room-scale: Oculus Quest works with your environment, so you can play standing or sitting, in spaces big or small
2. Steering Wheel Kit
If you’re a big fan of racing games and want to experience racing games to the highest level; then you’re going to need a steering wheel/ pedal combo.
The Logitech “G” steering wheel comes in two models: the G29, which is compatible with the PlayStation 4 and PC, and the G920 which is compatible with Xbox and PC.
The G29 has some outstanding features like RPM lights that indicate when you should shift into a new gear, and a control knob to make internal adjustments to the vehicle. Aside from this, both models are the same, so it’s up to you to choose which one is compatible with your system.
Why go to the arcade when you could bring the best bits to your home.

4. One-Handed Keyboard
One-handed keyboards are an awesome choice for Laptop gamers who are looking for a way to protect their keys. Just like a Laptop, they are compact and lightweight so you can take them anywhere.
The curved keys are ergonomically closer together than a standard keyboard, a preference suited to a variety of different people. If you are suffering from a hand injury or have small hands in general, then this could be a worthwhile investment.
The Razer Tartarus V2 is one of the best examples of excellent one-handed keyboards. It offers a quick response and transmission for an affordable price. Unlike most other similar products, the V2 has a thumbstick and a choice of three different kinds of key switches.

5. Monitor Mount
A Monitor Mount is a supportive arm or bracket for holding up your monitor. Monitors tend to take up a lot of desk space that could be used for other gaming accessories, which is why utilizing a mount effectively can make your overall setup look so much better.
The majority of monitor mounts allow you to adjust the height, angle, and position of the monitor. As a result, you can install the monitor in the most preferential position to help with neck strain.
Premium models come with spring-loaded rising mechanism, and integrated cable management for mastering the organization. Other mounts use a clamp-style attachment that saves space without requiring permanent or semi-permanent installation.
Depending upon how many monitors you use, there are different products available to lift several screens. VIVO is one of the most reputable brands used by gamers.

Stands
11. Headset Cradle
A good headset needs to be displayed and kept in a secure place at all times.
Fortunately, there are multiple ways to store your headset, so you won’t have to leave them lying around where they can pick up dust for much longer.
These options range from; a Headset Hanger that clips to the back of your monitor, a Headset Hook that clamps to the underside of your desk, or even a desktop tower Magnet (NZXT Puck) that mounts to the side PC tower case.
Most of these products just use hooks, but If you worry about the headset losing its shape over time, then perhaps an ergonomic design like this laminated Alikeke Classic is better.
A headset stand doesn’t just have to hold the headset either. Some have additional power so they can feature as a USB charging port, an extra 3.5mm analog input, plus RGB lighting!
