As a mom with a gamer kid, I’ve grown pretty hip to the PC gaming world and I’ve seen all the Pinterest boards for the best gaming setup ideas known to man. PC gaming has become a way to de-stress and pass time on hot or rainy days. Through connective technology, it has become a way to stay in touch with friends or family and interact in a host of online games.

 

Though I can purchase his games or send online gift cards through BilloCard, I can also use the site to update his gaming setup. This blog post contains affiliate links to products we own from Amazon at no cost to you.

Gaming Setup Ideas for When Your Kid is Ready to Level Up

 

Gift cards and direct purchases for game cards are an efficient way to get your kid’s gaming habit up-to-speed with their friends and the rest of the gaming community (or whatever the kids are calling it these days). There is nothing wrong with playing games through a standard mouse and keyboard, but let’s be honest, they aren’t the most comfortable or efficient for the fast-paced gameplay they want.

 

That’s why your kid is probably already asking for upgrades as he/she scours YouTube and Pinterest for the ultimate gaming setup ideas. With gaming accessories that are customized to their ideal experience, it creates a new layer of fun and comfort for their downtime excitement.

 

Perfect Laptop Stand for Gaming

 

My son is an enthusiastic gamer, and he barely leaves his seat while playing games on a PC. But before jumping into PC gaming, he used to play on a laptop. If your kid also plays on a laptop, it’s very important to keep his/her posture upright. For that, you should try an ergonomic adjustable laptop stand.

 

This stand has 6 adjustment levels and anti-slip padding to prevent sliding while he is vigorously tapping on the keyboard’s movement buttons. The design is foldable, so it can be carried anywhere. Moreover, it is lightweight and holds the devices with dimensions 7-15 inches easily.

 

You don’t want your kids to have a poor posture, so invest in this stand now.

 

The Right Headset for Your Gamer

 

When my son really started getting into the online multiplayer games with his friends, he wanted a good headset. He had a headset, but he wanted “a good headset.” Before you go any further with your mission to find all the gaming setup ideas understand this is the MOST important part of the gaming experience.

 

No one wants to play when they can’t hear and no one wants to play with them when they can’t mic up.

I found this baby on Amazon. His new headset the Turtle Beach Elite Pro 2 has superhuman hearing optimized for PC gaming. Combined with Waves MaxxMultiband technology, it gives a competitive advantage by being able to hear all the subtle yet game-changing sounds, like enemy footsteps and reloads. But wait, this thing is next level.

 

It has EQ audio presets, bass boost natural sound, treble boost, and vocal boost. This allows him to customize his audio experience by creating his own presets utilizing the 10-band equalizer. its Waves Nx 3D Audio gives an immersive experience with its 50mm Naniclear Speakers in 3D audio using pinpoint location accuracy and lifelike sound enabling.

 

Also, he never hears me calling him, so thankfully I have a Google Home next to his desk.

 

You can use your BilloCard Amazon gift card to purchase the headset and other accessories on Amazon.

 

A Supportive Chair Means Comfort and Wellness

 

While he’s busy navigating through the levels and chatting with fellow gamers, he often forgets about posture and the position his body has been sitting in for hours at a time. I didn’t want him to suffer from serious back pain being slumped over the computer desk without the right gaming chair.

This chair reclines to 170 degrees which is perfect for finding the most comfortable position.

 

Also, roller wheels make it easy to adjust to your perfect spot in front of the screen. 

 

Clear Speakers, Because Yes

 

Not all gamers enjoy the weight of a headset, and if this is the case with you, consider taking your BillowCard gift to purchase a 2.1 audio system like Logitech Z623 400 Watt Home Speaker System. These speakers are able to simulate surround sound and allow you to feel as if you are in the fame itself.

A Crystal-Clear Picture for Games and Art

 

You can’t really enjoy the games you accessed through BilloCard without viewing the graphics on a high-resolution monitor.  Long gone is a standard definition screen, with a 4K monitor like the Asus VP28UQG 28″ Monitor 4K/UHD 3840×2160 1ms DP HDMI with Adaptive-Sync/FreeSync and Eye Care, you might never leave your game cave again.

This monitor has a Display port, in addition to two HDMI ports, which lets your connect both a gaming console and gaming PC at the same time. The high quality reduces lag time, and the system has an ambient light sensor that automatically adjusts for lighting changes (and a whole lot more).

 

A Finger-Friendly Keyboard with Super Fun LED Lights

 

With any leftover money from your BilloCard gift card, you could head to Amazon for a Razer Cynosa Chroma Gaming Keyboard (remember how gamers love LED lights)?

The Razer Cynosa has 168 individually backlit RGB keys that you can program to be any color you like and its programmable macro functionality works flawlessly with the Razer Viper Mini Ultralight Gaming Mouse (which, you guessed it, has LED lights too).

The Razer PC app will let you program the colors to change while you are playing. 

 

If you’re on board with your kid’s PC gamer life then you may as well give him/her the environment that allows them the most enjoyment with a smart design that’s made with their posture, vision, and hand/wrists in mind. Remember, limit your kid’s screen time, encourage healthy eating habits, and lots of outdoor time as well.

 

They can’t live in their cave (even if it is a hot pink glowing into green Aurora Borealis level cave of magic and sonic boom).
