These 10 commandments you shall follow, a dream setup you will have.
-
1The light, thou shalt tame
Too dark, too bright... It's all about balance! RGB management is essential to create a gaming space that will not be agressive to your retina at any time of the day or night. Modular and indirect lighting is the best option: behind the screen, halfway up, in the background. If you are streaming, you can create your own light signature.

2Your peripherals, thou shalt value
Don't lie. You've spent so many hours poring over every detail, so take responsibility :) As well as protecting them from wear and tear, the stands will help you save space and keep your desk tidy. Most of them come with useful features: RGB system, Qi charger, audio controller, USB hub......

3Your space, thou shalt organise
Everything in its place and every mouse on its mat, XXL when possible. In addition to give your little hands a dose of selfcare, their main mission is to help you achieve precision, speed and fluidity. To choose the right one, look at its texture, thickness, and the presence of a anti-slip base...... Bonus point if it is RGB.

4Your cables, thou shalt tidy
Because you can never have too many USB ports, you absolutely NEED a hub (yes, we're going to force you to). Life is too short to waste time plugging and unplugging all your devices. As a general rule, 4 ports are enough for everyday use, but you can do more. The important thing is to choose the type (2.0, 3.0...) and the type of connection (A, B or C).

5Ergonomics, thou shalt improve
Maintaining a good posture during your long gaming sessions (or when working from home) is important. There's no secret about it, you need to position your screen at the right height to protect your back and neck. There are several types of arms for this purpose: free-standing or wall-mounted, for one screen or more, that swivel, tilt etc.

6The sound, thou shalt have
And a good one, if possible. Forget the small speakers, go for a complete and elaborate system for playing and watching movies. Adapt the power of your installation to the size and use of your room, but don't forget that a subwoofer will really make a difference in terms of immersion. And sorry for the neighbours :)

7Seating well, thou shalt be
That's BASIC. Gaming and ergonomic chairs have the advantage of combining style and comfort. Then, what comes next it's all a matter of taste and budget. Most models are reclining (up to 180°) and have adjustable armrests, headrests and various removable supports. Aluminium frames are the strongest (and therefore most lasting).

8A functional desk, thou shalt adopt
You need to choose a desk that is solid and spacious enough to hold your entire set-up, but compact enough to fit in with your surroundings. Nowadays, desks with adjustable height are popular and offer real comfort. For gaming, curved desks are very practical to be in the heart of the action.

10The cleaning, thou shalt not skip
Last but not least! Let's be honest, we all have some snacks in front of our screens while watching some videos or while working from home. Therefore, your gaming or work space can get dirty very quickly. Cleaning wipes or a complete cleaning kit, it's all that takes to make your desk and setup shiny as a new penny.
