First and foremost, a capture card. Everyone will say you need a high end one, that’s not true. A budget one works fine especially if you are just starting and learning the ropes.
Capture Card
Personally I love my MacBook for recording game clips because it has editing software built in. MacBook is also more user friendly and self explanatory versus other name brands. Plus if you’re already on iPhone everything links and is right there for...
MacBook Air 13-inch and MacBook Air 15-inch
Personally I prefer using this as more of a mini pc than having the typical pc set up. It’s space saving, but has all the power. Plus it’s portable making it easier for those that travel a lot or just want to use it as a handheld from time to time.
ROG Ally X (2024) | Gaming Handhelds｜ROG Global - ASUS
Next, my dock for my rog ally. Small, simple, convenient. It has all the ports I need, and look aesthetically pleasing when paired with the ally! It also doubles as a stand for the ally so no worries there either!
ROG Bulwark Dock (2025) DG300 | Gaming Docks, Dongles and Cables
Again, everyone will say you need a high end camera for streaming. And again, not true. Something budget friendly is your best friend especially for beginners. This one is small, and fits most monitors. I also like that it has a small range of colors...
Webcams - 4K, Full HD, 1080p | Logitech
Personally, this is my preference right now for headsets. I love the Bluetooth feature so no annoying cord is in my way, and I also like that I just simply have to plug in the dongle to either my Xbox or pc and I’m good to go! The color range is nice...
Stealth 700 Gen 3 Multiplatform Gaming Headset
When I do stream from Xbox and want a little better sound quality, I use this budget friendly mic! It’s not often I prefer to use one over my headset mic just for the convenience, but this one has great sound quality and also has the rgb lights to ma...
TCX3+ Gaming Microphone Compatible with Xbox
I love my steelseries keyboard! It’s simple but solid. The quality is great, and I love the customizable rgb features. They have budget friendly and professional keyboards at your disposal. I currently have the ten keyless and love it!
Gaming Keyboards
My steelseries mouse is also one of my favorites! They are light, smooth, and responsive. They again have a small rgb light feature that isn’t too overpowering, and can go with any setup vibe. I really love how light weight they are in comparison to ...
Gaming Mice
This one is technically an “essential” but it does level up the gaming atmosphere and I promise you will notice the difference between this and a standard mouse pad. However I must say don’t go “budget friendly” with them. This one id definitely reco...
Gaming Mouse Mats
This is also not an “essential” however it does make life easier some days when I really need someone/something to hold my phone while recording/making content. Or sometimes I have to use my phone as a webcam and this comes in handy as well!
