Anything you need for gaming
Drop your controller on it after a session and it's full by the time you're back. No more dead controller mid-match, and it's way cheaper than buying a second pad.
Nyko Charge Block Solo for Xbox One, 86130, 00743840861300
Wired means zero lag and zero dead batteries. The back paddles are a cheat code for shooters, and the purple fade looks clean on stream.
PDP REMATCH Advanced Wired Controller: Purple Fade For Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One, & Windows 10/11 PC
Eight custom keys for scenes, mute, clips and music, all one tap away. If you stream even casually, this makes you look like a pro without touching a menu mid-game.
Stream Deck Neo
If you game on PC, this is the mouse to start with. Accurate, comfy for long sessions, and the extra buttons are clutch for binds.
G502 HERO High Performance Gaming Mouse

The games I keep coming back to on stream
My favorite game of all time. Squad up with friends, clear missions, chase better loot. The kind of game where one more mission turns into three hours.
Tom Clancy's: The Division 2 - Day 1 Edition, Ubisoft, Xbox One, 887256036362
My number two. A massive open world, a wild story, and GTA Online means there's always something new to get into with friends.
Grand Theft Auto V, Rockstar Games, Xbox One
The absolute best FPS ever. Fast matches, Zombies with the squad, and the cross-gen bundle plays on both Xbox Series X and Xbox One.
Call of Duty®: Black Ops 7 - Cross-Gen Bundle - Xbox Series X and Xbox One
Flying, tanks, and guns, what more could a gamer want. Huge maps and buildings that crumble around you make every match feel different.
BATTLEFIELD 6, Xbox Series X
favorite chairs
Long sessions need real back support. These are the chairs I'd trust for a six hour stream.
My comfy spot. Swivel, recline and a high back for the long nights when you're locked in.
Costway Gaming Chair Swivel Computer Office Chair w/ Adjustable Mesh Back
Built-in lumbar pillow, a footrest that slides out, and a headrest you can adjust. Great pick if your back hates you after a long session.
GTRACING Gaming Chair, Ergonomic Office Desk Chair with Lumbar Support, PU Leather, Footrest & Adjustable Headrest, Red - Walmart.com
favorite headset
Can't play without it. Good audio means hearing footsteps before they hear you.
Best headphones ever. Wireless with no lag, a super clear mic for squad chat and stream, and comfy enough to wear for hours.
PRO X 2 LIGHTSPEED LIGHTSPEED Wireless Gaming Headset
Light, comfy for long sessions and the mic is clear on stream. Easy pick if you want great sound without spending a ton.
Esports Gaming Headset - Razer BlackShark V2 X
Desk recommendations
Room for a monitor, a console, the Stream Deck and snacks. A good desk is the base of the whole setup.
My desk. The L shape gives you room for a monitor on one side and your console and Stream Deck on the other, plus a built-in charging station so cables stay tidy.
Casacomoda L Shaped Computer Desk with Charging Station, 53 inch PC Table Study Desk 4 Tier Drawers, Modern Simple Style Laptop Desk for Bedroom, Black - Walmart.com
A legend for a reason. 11 programmable buttons, adjustable weights and a super accurate sensor, great for shooters and MMOs.
G502 HERO High Performance Gaming Mouse
Tiny 60% board that frees up a ton of desk space for your mouse. Snappy optical switches and Razer Chroma lighting.
