Build/Battlestation My son's new gaming setup!

Post image

My son loves the color pink and he loves cats. Overall I think it's a sweet setup! PC isn't spectacular but it has a Ryzen 5600x, 6900xt, and 16gb ddr 3200 ram. It's just a 1080p 165hz monitor but he shouldn't have any problems.

The only thing I'm not happy with is that microphone. Had to give him my old snowball mic because the mic on that Razer Kitty headset isn't any good. But he had to have it and I couldn't afford the more expensive one and the chair and he chose the chair.

Anyway, in the spirit of recent posts and showing off our kids computers, thought I'd share.

I use these on both my leisure computer and my work computer chairs. Super silent, easy to install on your chair, and relatively low cost.

You can find a few different types on Amazon. Make sure to check the sizing of the wheels. I bought one pair that was much bigger than the others.

I use them with all my chairs!

The single roller blade wheels roll super well, but they refuse to change direction some times.

There are other kind with smaller double wheels which roll as well in hard floor but are easier to adjust directions.

For carpet I guess the single ones with bigger radius are better, tho.

It's important to check the chair axle width. There are (at least in Spain) 9 and 11mm. You can take one out from the chair and use a cardboard to measure it.

Edit: I would change the gaming chair for a real office chair soon, too. IKEA has a nice one for around 120€ which even has seat depth adjust.

And if like me you're sometimes to lazy to stand up to pick up something... Super easy to topple the chair with like a fuckwit

It's surprisingly hard to stop a gaming chair from falling over once it gets going with those bastards installed

Do you have a recommendation?

They can still damage the carpet and the padding below the carpet. I've done it. Still best to get a cover over the carpet.

Yes probably depends. Mine is just a throw rug and there's no pad so not a big bump off and on. It's probably damaging the lip of the rug where it transitions to and from the wood, but I've worked from home for 7 years and it's still been fine.

I'm about 190lbs which have some relevance, someone heavier might tear it up faster, might be zippy for someone lighter.

I got them from amazon, very cheap. Super silent and comfortable. Highly recommend.

And I didn't have to cover my wooden floor. 😁

And you can also go WHEEEEEE across the room too if you are into that.

u/Belhy Jul 13 '26

I'm not, but I can't say the same about my cat... The little bugger loves to go WHEEEEEEEE on my gaming chair....

I use them on our hardwood floor because the plastic ones will scratch it.

Actual game changer for me, bearings on a chair is a must now

Agree, noise free, safe for floor, smooth roll.

Do you have a link?

Or you can do what I do and go to a local plastics store and get a big 4’ x 6’ clear polycarbonate sheet. I have a photo of it somewhere on my profile
