Best White Gaming Setup and Accessories

White gaming setups bring an entirely different vibe compared to the more common RGB-themed setups. For starters, white gaming setups are entirely much cleaner in appearance compared to their RGB counterparts, and are eye candy to any gaming setup enthusiast. Getting started with the white gaming setup is easy. Just start with a white tabletop, then toss in a white gaming chair and PC case, and you have your foundation.

But what about peripherals? With the thousands of gaming peripherals out in the market these days, what are the best ones to get that will match your new white gaming setup? The accessories below will not only bolster that new clean white gaming setup you have, but they also happen to be some of the best overall peripherals in the market.

Razer Huntsman Mini - Mercury

For those extreme minimalists out there (along with any esports enthusiasts) the Razer Huntsman mini not only comes in a clean Mercury White model, it also happens to be one of the top 60-percent keyboards in the market. The Huntsman Mini has the same look and feel to the rest of the Huntsman family of keyboards except for being the smallest of the bunch. It features Razer’s optical switches for incredibly fast response time, PBT keycaps that will last you a while and a detachable USB-C cable.

The Mercury White model is the one we’re focusing on for this list. The white version of the keyboard is incredibly clean and its white frame helps showcase its RGB backlighting even better. If you want to really make this keyboard pop in both its clean look and RGB backlighting, throw on the white G. Skill Crystal Crown keycaps and set the backlighting to white to really make this keyboard pop on your desk.

SteelSeries Aerox 3 Wireless Ghost

The SteelSeries Aerox 3 Wireless Ghost is also no stranger to just about anybody. Pretty much, this is the same exact build as the original Aerox 3 Wireless mouse… mostly. While sharing many similarities to the original black standard version, the Aerox 3 Ghost not only changes a few things to its cleaner updated model, it actually updates it slightly for the better.

On the outside, the obvious big change with the Aerox 3 Ghost is the new translucent white honeycomb shell. The new somewhat clear shell allows for its RGB lighting to really shine through this time compared to how hidden it was with the original model. The Aerox 3 Ghost also features the smoother and wider “virgin grade” PTFE feet that will almost seem as if the mouse is floating across the mousepad. It still features the same TrueMove Air sensor as the original Aerox 3 does, which is a solid 18,000 CPI sensor in its own right with the standard 1,000Hz polling rate, all of which can be customized through SteelSeries’ Engine 3 software.

Alternate: Logitech G305

While not as visually showcased compared to the Aerox 3 Ghost, the Logitech G305 feels like a premium FPS mouse that can also fit in well at the office. For a battery powered mouse, it features incredibly low latency and feels very solid. Oh, it also costs about a fraction of the price of the Aerox 3 Ghost, as long as you're okay with using batteries instead of charging through USB.

Razer Seiren Mini - Mercury White

In a world where USB microphones under $50 are somewhat average at best, mics like the Razer Seiren Mini really stand out, along with other budget mics like the HyperX SoloCast and the Blue Snowball Ice. The Seiren Mini features a no-frills design to it, not having DSP (digital signal processing) nor a gain knob or headphone jack. Again, this is as basic as a plug-and-play mic as you can get. 

It includes a super-cardioid mic which allows it to filter out background noise and just focus on your voice and although it comes with a small mic stand, it can be detached and screwed on to your standard boom arm. It produces a solid sound, even from some distance, and, once again, coming in at under $50, you really can’t go wrong with this.

PlayStation 5 / Xbox Series S

For the non-PC gamers reading this, we didn't forget you. In fact, this may be the first console generation since the Xbox 360 generation, followed by the Nintendo and Super Nintendo generations, that we have white flagship consoles. The PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series S specifically should be highlighted well for any console gamer looking to create a white setup.

Starting with the PS55, what can be said that has not already been stated? This is a monster of a console in both performance and size, and it's meant to stand vertical. From next-gen graphics with 8K resolution coming soon, gameplay at 120 fps and incredibly quick load times, the PS5 dives head first into the next generation of gaming. Then there's the innovation of the DualSense controller that features haptic feedback and adaptive triggers immersing you more in a game than ever before. The DualSense also features a built-in mic and speaker allowing for in-game chat without the need for a headset.

Recommended Accessory:

PlayStation 5 DualSense Charging Stand: The PlayStation 5's own charging stand is an ideal accessory to have to charge your DualSense controllers, especially considering the battery on the DualSense controllers can wear out quick during longer gaming sessions. The charger comes with its own power supply which, in turn, allows you to free up a USB port on the PS5 that most users would use for the USB-C cable to charge the controller in most cases. It can fit up to two controllers with the DualSense easily laying on top of the charging ports to charge.

Then there's the Xbox Series S (specifially for this list). While it may be a small step behind the flagship Xbox Series X, the Series S holds its own when it comes to next-gen gaming and is a fantastic entry point for those looking to get a new console without having to spend over $500 immediately. Microsoft brings back the majority-white design for the first time since the Xbox 360 era and the new Robot White controller that comes with it makes for a perfect pairing. It features gaming 1440p gaming at 120 fps, the average resolution for a majority of gamers who play on a basic HDTV or a mid-range monitor. The Xbox Series S doesn't feature a ton of storage compared to the Series X, however for those with high-speed internet connections, it downloads games of Xbox Game Pass within a few minutes, allowing you to shuffle games in and out.

Recommended Accessory:

Razer Universal Xbox Controller Charging Stand: Considering that the Xbox controllers still use a pair of AA batteries, the Razer Xbox Controller charging stand makes for the ideal solution in both practicality and setup design. The stand comes with its own rechargeable battery that you plug right into the back of the controller. It also features a magnetic contact system that keeps the controller in place when its charging. Honestly, while charging stands are as optional an accessory as it comes, having a charging stand for your controller not only keeps things organized, but gives your clean setup and even more organized look.

SteelSeries Arctis 7P Wireless

While the Arctis 7P specifically is meant to be used on the PS5 (competing with Sony's 3D Pulse headset) the 7P gives that nice finishing touch for any white gaming setup. At the same time, the Arctis 7P is a high-quality wireless headset that sounds great, feels light on the head, and will last you a long while.

The Arctis 7P features 40mm drivers for solid sound quality in game. It could do a bit better when it comes to the lows, but the mids and highs come out fantastic with these drivers. For those using this on PC, you can adjust the audio levels on the SteelSeries Engine 3 software to level it to your liking. For those using this on the PlayStation 4 or 5, you're stuck with its out-of-box setting.
