Your desk setups, part 4: Joshua likes Monster Hunter, RGB and his sea of clouds
23.7.2024
Translation: Katherine Martin
Joshua’s gaming setup combines RGB with fluffy clouds. In keeping with his desire to live out his enjoyment of Monster Hunter, a fun-sized monster keeps him company during gaming sessions.
Joshua from Rotkreuz is a computer scientist, soon to begin a technical baccalaureate. By the looks of his home gaming setup, his technical skills haven’t just been put to use at work. As you can see, Joshua’s turned his gaming area into a heavenly RGB kingdom, complete with light-up ceiling.
This blanket of cloud is a feast for the eyes
Monster Hunter is Joshua’s favourite video game
Joshua built his gaming PC himself. A Corsair RGB case houses all of the components. In choosing it, Joshua’s top priority was finding as much space as possible for the cables. He says the case’s white insides make the colourful lighting really come into its own.
Joshua has an Asus ROG Azoth keyboard. He lubed each of its WS Morandi switches individually so that typing on it would feel just right, and is pleased with the keyboard’s velvety sound. To get the best of the RGB lighting, he opted for SteelSeries PrismCaps as keycaps.
More than seven years ago, Joshua set his heart on a Logitech G502 mouse. Once its days were over, there was a clear successor in line: a Logitech G502 X. Though heavier than his old mouse, Joshua enjoys using it – especially the buttons on the sides. They save him some time when he’s working.
Retro treasures and GameCube tournaments
Other pieces of retro hardware in Joshua’s collection include a PS2 and a Gameboy with a tribal design.
This is the equipment Joshua uses to fight nasty monsters like Anjanath and Barroth:
- Monitors: LG 27GL850-B, ASUS ROG Swift PG27VQ, Philips Ambilight TV
Peripherals:
- Keyboard: Asus ROG Azoth
- Mouse: Logitech G502 X
- RGB lighting for clouds: Govee LED smart strips
In my world, Super Mario chases Stormtroopers with a unicorn and Harley Quinn mixes cocktails for Eddie and Peter at the beach bar. Wherever I can live out my creativity, my fingers tingle. Or maybe it's because nothing flows through my veins but chocolate, glitter and coffee.
