Smokey Posted January 4, 2023 Share Posted January 4, 2023 If you're looking for a "Pro" style controller and you have an xbox one or Series console then I'd recommend the Elite series 2. Perhaps with an extended warranty. I have this and i love it, It's my daily controller and works well for the most part. The extended warranty is just in case one of the paddles or buttons breaks.

Empire Posted January 7, 2023 Share Posted January 7, 2023 Monitor arms make a huge difference and under desk headphone hook is a nice quality of life addition. That's what I like get soon anyway another new stand. You don’t necessarily have to spend a fortune on arms. If you thought you were going to move them around a lot then by expensive ones that adjust easily. But reality is, once they’re set you won’t likely move them again. killamch89 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A Charging station is also recommended for both your wireless controllers and your other devices. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shortie Posted January 11, 2023 Share Posted January 11, 2023 Very much so a charging station for sure. I have a charging dock myself that I got with my controller a few months ago and if I am honest, it was the best thing I got as I haven't had any issues with my battery dying on me as I always keep it on the dock when I am not using it. Also, thumb grips as well are something else I would recommend. I have been using my thumb grips now since around May 2020 and now when I use a controller without thumb grips, I find it so uncomfortable and can never understand how I used to play without. killamch89 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
killamch89 Posted January 20, 2023 Share Posted January 20, 2023 To add to these: An ergonomic gaming keyboard Wireless Mouse (Logitech/Razer) Comfortable wired/wireless gaming headsets (HyperX) A snack stand to safely hold your drink/food so that it doesn't spill all over your setup.

Kane99 Posted January 20, 2023 Share Posted January 20, 2023 (edited) Depends on what your gaming preferences are. I think if you have a gaming PC, a good mouse and keyboard is a must. I use a HyperX keyboard. Not one of their expensive ones, was just like $40 or so. I forget. And I had a better mouse, but am currently using an Amazon Basics mouse. Nothing special. Probably not good for gaming. Which is why I use a gamepad. The gamepad I currently use is the Power A Fusion controller. I got it originally for Xbox, but it works for the PC as well, and aside from the analog sticks falling apart, it's a decent controller. Lasted me longer than most Xbox 360/One controllers have. Also if you're looking for a cheap budget mic for streaming maybe, I have a FIFINE Studio Condenser USB Mic, that came with an arm and everything, only spent $80 I think at the time, but it's currently going for $49.99 on Amazon right now. Works great in discord, but you may need to fiddle with audio settings in OBS or whatever streaming program you're using.

I personally use a Blue Yeti but it's so sensitive as it picks up every little disturbance in the room. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
