How to set up a great PC gaming cockpit - Future Shop Community ...

One of my favorite aspects of PC gaming is how extreme you can take things. You can really push the limits and create a setup thats amazingly immersive. Sure, you could just click away on the usual keyboard and mouse but if you really want to you can build yourself a complete, hardcore simulation cockpit battlestation. Theres really nothing like it, and can be as much fun to set up to your liking as it is to actually use to play games.

To start with, consider your chair. Sure you can use a generic office chair but come on, offices (and by extension, office chairs) are for work. You want a chair for play.Consider something like one of these Lumisource chairs. They?ve got built in speakers for a more visceral experience with added comfort for those extended gaming sessions.

With a rounded bottom for multi-direction tilt, the Stingray BoomChair will take your enjoyment of music, movies and games to a whole new level. Surround yourself with 2-way speakers and hook up to game consoles, MP3, CD and DVD players in the Stingray BoomChair for the ultimate experience.


You should also supplement your fancy gaming keyboard and gaming mouse with specialty controls. There are racing wheels featuring pedals and gear shifters for driving fans or a seemingly endless variety of joysticks, yokes, throttle controls, and control panels available if you prefer. It makes vehicle control much more nuanced and accurate, adding a hardcore edge to your overall experience.

A simulator-grade racing wheel for the PC and PlayStation 3, the Logitech G27 Racing Wheel features a powerful, dual-motor force feedback mechanism that smoothly, quietly, and accurately simulates traction loss, weight shift, and road feel.

Of course the more monitors you have, the better. Set up an immersive display zone with an array of monitors to give you a wonderful panoramic view. As your game extends into your peripheral vision it feels much more alive and draws you in. Once you try it, it will be tough to go back to the limitations of a single screen.

The Spacedec SD-FS-T is designed to mount three 24" monitors (up to 17.5lbs) on either a freestanding low footprint base or via a bolt through mounting option.


Lastly consider topping off your experience with performance gaming eyewear. These GUNNAR Optiks MLG Legend gaming glasses reduce glare, enhance contrast and details, and overall give you a more comfortable, sharper view of the game world. If you?ll be spending a lot of time in front of the screen, these make it a lot easier on the eyes.

SKU: 10178957

When there is no time to blink, you need GUNNAR performance optics. Fighter pilot inspired, this design delivers GUNNAR's i-AMP lens technology in a full coverage frame with headset compatible temples. If reduced reaction time, improved accuracy, and increased visual endurance are critical to your game then MLG Legend is your weapon of choice.


Add it up and you?ve got an amazing hardcore simulation machine. You?ll feel much more a part of the game experience than if you?re just poking around on a keyboard and mouse. There's more to gaming than what's on the screen after all. The things in front of you - the things you touch - thats what you?re interacting with at the end of the day. Thats what can truly transform the gaming experience into something special.
