This product is for those living in areas where the weather is hot. Just like the monitor light you can place it above the monitor. However, the light mounts on the table using clamps and this fan uses clip function to fit on the monitor.

So, it is possible to use both of these accessories at the same time. This monitor fan is also expensive but quite useful. It won’t let you sweat in those sweaty moments in competitive gaming sessions.

Just clip the fan on top of your monitor and enjoy the cool breeze. The clip is compatible with 0.2 to 0.8 inches (5mm-20mm) monitors. It is not chargeable but powered through a USB port.

I have seen many USB hubs but there is none like this one in the looks. This is a vertical RGB USB is very budget friendly and looks way cooler than most of the USB hubs in the market.

It comes integrated with RGB and the vertical design is a treat to look at. Kokovolta USB hub comes with a sticky bottom.

The sticky part is good and you can place it onto the desk so it won’t move when plugging in the USB. With the sticky part you can even place it under the desk. I have stuck and unstuck it multiple times and it still works.

It is a great way to charge or plug in your devices without having to go over your PC. There are fours USB 3.0 slots.

This Govee table lamp is one of my favorite new smart accessory for the desk. It is very budget friendly for what this product is. The colors are amazing and so far the best I have ever seen on any smart lamp.

The RGB looks great and is very consistent. You can choose any color you want from the Govee app again. Besides the RGB colors you can also do white and different color temperatures using the app.

It functions as a typical lamp as well as throwing RGB light everywhere in the room. The RGB colors are super bright unlike some other lamps. Overall its an awesome upgrade, which makes your setup way more cooler to look at.

A monitor arm is one of the best upgrade that you can make to your gaming desk setup. Here we are talking about HUANUO monitor arm. It is available in an affordable price coming and the quality is high.

I’ve tested many different monitor arms but in this price range HUANUO is my favorite. It can fit a monitor of 13-30 inch size. The weight capacity is 4.4lbs to 14.3 lbs but I would suggest you to keep it under 13 lbs.

There is also a pro version of this keypad that features pressure sensitive keys, which provides precise control over each movement. You can even set different functions for partial press or full keystroke. Isn’t it amazing?

Kensington Fingerprint USB Dongle

Fingerprint sensors are now a common thing. Most of the mobiles devices have built-in fingerprint sensor for unlocking the device.

If you are gaming on a laptop or you have a laptop other than your gaming PC then Kensington fingerprint device is surely a great thing to have because only a few laptops comes with built-in fingerprint sensor.

This little dongle looks just like a usual Bluetooth receiver for your mouse and connects via USB after a quick installation process it is ready to go. It works extremely fast with a 0.15 second recognition time.

You can add up to 10 fingerprints for your family, friends or colleagues at work. This device is not only for unlocking the device but you can also lock and unlock files or folders and protect any personal data you want.

I have tested this on my device and its a cool concept but not fully matured. I had difficulties putting protection on some of the applications. I hope future updates will resolve these issues.
