To be at the very top in the world of gaming you need some accessories to help you get there. Here is the Imp Zone thread about important gaming accessories for any true gamer.

My list:

I've been in no less than 14 situations where I would have been screwed without these

This one's a no-brainer for those of you that leave your Gamecube on a basement floor that's prone to 1" floods

This one's a must for any true gamer

Unlike the SP, the OG model has no way to protect the screen, making the pocket a no-no. Solve that issue with this accessory

Put a cup for quarters in front of this fuckin' thing and you've got yourself an arcade version of Shantae



Please post some essential gaming accessories I might have missed. Thanks!

My mom got this plastic case that snapped over an nes controller and turned the dpad into a thumbstick cause she thought it was more comfortable. I didn't really care for it but it snapped on really tightly and I couldn't remove it.

Having a good chair makes a big difference, I hosed up my back sitting on a lovely couch for a marathon gaming session.

The Gamer Gloves are a form-fitting, breathable glove that allows you to maintain the ultimate control over your gaming by offering strong grips.

The material of the glove was designed so you can play in cool and warm temperatures. The glove is designed so any sweat will be wicked away keeping you in full control, which would normally cause the controller to slip and slide in your hands. Additionally, the compression design of the gloves will keep blood flow moving throughout your hands increasing the feel and reaction time for cold handed gamers.

Overall, the gloves will offer you comfort, intense control, and can be used for different styles of gaming. It’s time to take your GAM3 to the next level.

Gloves on, GAME On!

I had a computer chair that was just shorter than it should have been and having to keep my shoulder raised just slightly for long periods of time to grip the mouse did horrible things to my shoulder and upper back. Sit comfortably imps

My chair at work won't stay up so I spend 8 hours a day sitting nearly shoulder level with my entirely too tall desk. The office manager is supposed to do things like order new chairs when that happens but since in the coming months they're remodeling the office she refuses. It's been loving my shoulder up for months now.

sorry but this is like some bartleby the scrivener poo poo . dont cripple yourself permanently just because youd rather shrink away from the smallest hurdles you encounter in life .. bring a chair from home or a cushion or something and tell your boss its because your chair doesnt work and you dont want to ruin your body

I had a computer chair when I was in junior high that I farted in for 17 hours a day to the point where it would still smell like farts hours after I had stopped farting and when my brother played Goldeneye with his friends the loser had to smell the seat
