How to build a gaming setup in 2026? Step-by-step guide

In 2026, a gaming setup is more than just a fast computer. It is an ecosystem where ergonomics meets RGB technology, and user comfort directly translates into in-game performance. If you want to create a workstation that will last for years, you need to start with the fundamentals.

The foundation of success: Height-adjustable gaming desks

The days of static desktops are gone. Today’s standard is electric desks, which allow dynamic switching from a sitting to a standing position.

• Frames and drive: Modern Spacetronik frames offer smooth and quiet adjustment. The soft position-change function ensures that the monitor does not shake while setting the height, and the memory panel allows you to return to your favorite setting with one click.
• Desktops with an edge: In Spacetronik gaming models, you will find desktops measuring from 120x60 cm to spacious 140x70 cm. Equipped with cable cutouts and integrated RGB lighting, they transform an ordinary piece of furniture into a futuristic command center.

Gaming chairs: Ergonomics that saves your back

Long gaming sessions require support. Models such as Doris 11 or Aron are the foundations of a healthy spine.

• Doris 11 chair: The perfect balance between design and comfort. It has adjustable armrests and lumbar support.
• Aron chair: This is a design for the most demanding users. The bucket shape keeps your posture in check, and the soft finish lets you forget about fatigue even after several hours of raiding.

Must-have accessories: Mounts and mats

The devil is in the details. They make the difference between a “room with a computer” and a “professional setup.”

• Monitor mounts: They free up desk space and allow the screen to be positioned perfectly at eye level. Thanks to them, you regain space under the monitor for speakers or controllers.
• Chair mats:Special Spacetronik protective mats not only protect the floor from scratches caused by wheels, but often also feature their own RGB lighting, which “completes” the aesthetics of the entire room.

FAQ – The most common questions about a gaming setup in 2026

1. Which gaming desk should you choose: electric or static?

In 2026, the best choice is an electric desk that allows dynamic position changes during long sessions. It enables the desktop height to be ideally adjusted to the user’s height, which significantly improves ergonomics and gaming comfort.

2. How many lux should a gamer’s desk lighting have?

According to ergonomic principles, there should be about 500 lux of light on a gaming desk surface. It is worth using wide drafting lamps that illuminate the keyboard without generating tiring glare on the screen.

3. Does RGB lighting in a gaming setup strain the eyes?

RGB lighting itself does not strain the eyes if it is treated as mood lighting and is not the only source of brightness in the room. Properly diffused LED diodes behind the screen or on the desktop reduce the contrast between the monitor and a dark wall, which can even bring relief to the eyes.

4. How do you hide cables on a gaming desk?

The best way to manage cables is to use horizontal trays mounted under the desktop and flexible vertical guides attached to the desk legs.

5. Why is it worth buying a monitor mount for your setup?

A monitor mount frees up a significant amount of desktop space that is normally occupied by the screen’s factory stand. It also allows smooth adjustment of height, tilt, and rotation (pivot function), which is crucial for maintaining proper posture.

6. Which desk power sockets should you choose for a gaming desk?

The most convenient solution is recessed desktop sockets, which offer not only classic 230V outlets but also fast USB-A and USB-C ports. This allows you to charge a smartphone, headphones, or controllers directly within reach, without unnecessary extension cords on the floor.
