Currently, more and more users dedicate a small space in their home as a place where they can fully enjoy any activity related to video games. The increase in these spaces has grown, especially due to the number of people who are dedicated to streaming, but also by those players who want to have a space in which they feel comfortable, given the number of hours they can spend in it. . Therefore, from SomosXbox, We tell you how to set up your first gaming setupand adapt a place in your house to fully enjoy the hours of play.
How to set up your first Gaming Setup
Chairs
The first element that you must take into account when setting up your first gaming setup is comfort. of the space where you will remain seated for many hours. Therefore, it is essential that when creating our space for games we opt for a ergonomic chair, able to maintain the comfort necessary to adopt a good posture. Therefore, it is necessary to take into account some important aspects when choosing one chair or another, such as the following:
- That its height is adjustable, allowing us to maintain an adequate posture of our legs and torso.
- Adjustable tilt.
- Adjustable armrests.
- Have lumbar support.
Once these elements are taken care of, there are a multitude of chairs that we can choose from, especially in the range of gaming chairs. Therefore, we show you some examples that would be good for your setup, depending on the price range.
Secretlab TITAN Evo (series 2022)
If we talk about a gaming chair, without a doubt we have to talk about the premium chair brand par excellence: Secretlab. Famous for being the brand of streamers like Ibai Llanos, offers fantastic quality and level of comfortallowing long game sessions without suffering at any time.
Although it is true that it has a somewhat high price, the construction and aspects such as the micro-perforated surface to maintain an ideal thermal sensation, make this chair a completely recommended product for those who want to start setting up their first gaming setup.
In the coming weeks we will bring you a review of this chair, which we anticipate that we have fallen in love with.
Corsair T3 Rush
This Corsair brand chair is built entirely with a breathable fabric, providing long cool sessions. In addition, we will be able to adjust both the height and the inclination of it with great ease, which, together with the possibility of adjusting the armrests in different positions and heights, will guarantee us the desired comfort.
desks
Once seen the section of the chairs, Another element that is essential when setting up your first gaming setup is the desk or table. that we will use to support all the elements of our configuration. As in the previous case, ergonomics is a fundamental aspect when selecting a desk, especially taking into account aspects such as its depth (so as not to have the screen too close) and the height, so that our chair fit perfectly under it.
Another aspect to take into account is the possible accessories that the desk brings with it, such as a stand to support our headphones, or a space that allows the proper management of the cables that we will have to order once we assemble our setup.
KLIM K140 Gaming Desk
The KLIM K140 table has some of the aspects that we have previously mentioned. With a dimension of 140 x 60, it is positioned as an ideal desk to mount your first gaming setup. In addition, it has elements such as a projection where we can rest our headphones, as well as a space where we can place all the cables that are necessary to go to the desk without them being visible or disturbing.

Drift Gaming -DRDZ200- Gaming Table
As in the previous case, this Drift brand table will provide us with everything we need to set up a good setup. With a larger size than the previous case (130 x 65 cm), this table will provide us with plenty of space to have our screen or screens, and elements such as consoles, keyboard and mouse and much more.
On the other hand, the Drift DRDZ200 has the possibility of adjusting its height, something that we mentioned as an element of great importance. Likewise, we also find a section dedicated to cable management on the back, so this table is an option to take into account for players who want to have a clean and tidy space.
webcam
thinking of those users who wish to set up their gaming setup to stream on platforms like Twitch, a good webcam is something completely fundamental when creating our space. Although there are recommendations of all kinds and of all prices, our recommendation will be focused on those who are new to this world, leaving aside more professional options.
Razer Kyo
The Razer webcam is, without a doubt, one of the best options to start streaming. We will have the possibility to choose between a resolution of 720p 60fps, or choose to reduce the refresh rate to obtain a higher resolution, offering an image of 1080p 30fps.
In addition, the Razer Kyo has a ring of light throughout its chassis, which will allow us to adjust the lighting we want to give our streaming to our liking, an element that is very important when offering content of this type.
Logitech Brio Ultra HD Pro
If before we talked about a webcam whose strong point was the lighting of the device, this time we opted for one that “does the rest” in its resolution. Unlike the previous option, the Logitech Brio Ultra HD Pro has a maximum resolution of 4K 30fps, offering a recording quality superior to that seen in the Razer Kyo.
In addition, the device has additions such as Righltlight 3 with HDR, infrared facial recognition support and background blending technology, as well as a wide field of view and the ability to zoom x5.
Lightning
An aspect that has become fundamental among gamers in recent years has been the RGB lighting of their setups. While this usually translates to lights on products like keyboards, mice, mousepads, or many other items, in this case we want to focus on the lighting that will be directly on the back of our setup, thus giving a higher level of immersion when setting up your first gaming setup.
Philips Hue Lightstrip Plus Basic
These LED strips are the closest option to Ambilight from the Philips brand itself. With them, and unlike the common LED strips, their colors will vary depending on what we see on our screen, adapting precisely and offering great immersion.
The negative point of these strips is not only their high price, but it will also be necessary to buy other products, such as the Philip Bridge and the Hue Syn Box.
govee led strips
This product has strips of 5 x 5 meters in length, which allows us to cover a large amount of space with them. Unlike the previous strips, these can only be controlled through the mobile phone through its application, achieving a slightly lower immersion than in the previous case.
Miscellaneous (mats, stands, etc.)
The last point we want to talk about to set up your first gaming setup is all those elements that are necessary within a gaming area, especially if it is the place where we have both our computer and our consoles. If so, it will be necessary to have basic elements such as keyboard mats, support for controllers, etc.
Although there are many elements that can be important, in this case we will only give you a brushstroke about it, since this also has an important personal element when selecting products of this type.
Corsair MM200 Mouse Pad
Although RGB mats are the order of the day, our recommendation is to opt for one that does not have this type of technology. Many users have seen how the mats that come with LED strips end up wrinkling, losing the homogeneity that this type of product gives.
Cable guy Masterchief Halo Infinite
An element that cannot be missing when setting up your first gaming setup is a support for our controller. If you are an Xbox fan, there is no better support than the Master Chief’s Cable guy, with which we can support our Xbox controls while we are not using them.
BONTEC Monitor Stand
Finally, we would like to show you a support for our monitor or television, which will allow us to gain a few cm of space on our desk, thus giving us the option of having a much cleaner setup and with which we can easily adjust the position of our screen.
