Elgato Key Light – Professional Studio LED Panel

I use six of these in the studio. They’re not cheap and don’t do RGB colours, but they evenly emit a white light which can be accurately controlled from your PC, a Streamdeck or a mobile device. Set brightness and temperature and even script it as part of your streaming go-live with OBS plug-ins.

Sabrent 4-Port USB 2.0 Hub with Individual Power Switches and LEDs

Why use these instead of USB 3.0? Lots of devices such as throttle quadrants, shifters, throttles, HOTAS etc don’t need USB 3.0 so I use USB 2.0 to save taking up valuable/limited USB 3.0 resources.

A shock mount is essential to avoid your microphone picking up vibrations from your desk. This ingenious design is very compact and fits the SM58 perfectly.

SOULWIT® Cable Holder Clips, 3-Pack Cable Management

Available in a variety of colours these self-adhesive cable management holders are useful on top and underneath your desk and really help to hold and route cables. I have my keyboard and mouse cable run through one on my desk, whilst underneath I have my headset and usb cables routed through one.
