Secretlab TITAN Evo 2022
If you’re not comfortable, you’re not happy. But that will no longer be a concern because the Secretlab TITAN Evo 2022 will fit you like a glove and make sitting down for hours on end a problem your posterior will never endure again. Many of us suffer from cramping, aches, back problems, and general discomfort when sitting for even a short length of time but that’s because we don’t have the right equipment underneath us.
If you’re passionate about esports or even a recreational gamer this chair is a must. Many of the professionals use this chair as well and, unlike the rest of us, they have a vested financial interest in their comfort because the stakes are high. For instance, the Dota 2 TI10 tournament will be offering over $40 million in prize money with $15 million going to the winner! Even the best online sportsbooks are offering odds on esports tournaments like the TI10.
Wide rubber casters make this chair easy to roll and the adjustable lumbar support eases you into the comfort zone of your choice. This cloud cushion will set you back about $450-$500 but its durability will make you glad that you spent the dough for years to come.

Size matters when it comes to monitors and so too does the resolution and refresh rate, to name but a few. And while there are thousands of monitors to choose from, with many of them indistinguishable from one another, this one is often discussed when the conversation turns to the best gaming monitors.
At anywhere from $1700 to $2000 this little piece of avant-garde technology doesn’t come cheap but if you want the best, you better be prepared to pay for it. It’s got all the bells and whistles that you would want from a monitor that will be hitched to a wagon like the water-cooled PC above that produces sizzling gaming performance and an undeniably amazing experience.
HyperX Cloud II Wireless
Wireless: Yes
Drivers: 53mm, Dynamic, neodymium magnets
Connectivity: USB Dongle
Frequency response: 15Hz – 20,000Hz
Features: Detachable mic
Weight: 300g
Battery Life: 30 hours
We would be remiss if we didn’t include gaming headsets on this list. Without a seamless audio experience, the game can still be good but it wouldn’t be immersive nor complete. If you want the whole enchilada and are willing to pay for the best of the best then why stop at your headset? Besides, in the grand scheme of things, this is one of the more inexpensive items on the have-to-have gaming list.
The Hyper X Cloud II Wireless is not only comfortable (you’ll forget you’re wearing it within a minute of putting it on) but the audio delivery is sublime. The mic is also crystal clear and the battery lasts 30 hours according to the manufacturer’s specs. There are others on the market that can rival the HyperX Cloud II but none that can beat it.
