Is your office dull, boring and standard? Would you even like to eradicate your work area? Do you want special effects not just in games, but all around your PC? Then my advice is for you!
Crime scene A: your office
And there was light! This transparent plastic bowl makes all the colours appear at your workstation so your colleagues can immediately recognise what mood you're in (tip #177: red = bad). The green, orange and red light system is very popular and often used. Out-of-the-ordinary lighting can also be used to break the ice and start an exciting discussion or even to kick off a spontaneous office party.
Take to the skies - with this drone, you not only transport your piles of sheets (after specialist work) to every printer, scanner or dechiqueuse, but also provide a welcome cool breeze to the heads of your colleagues; thrills following the drone's crash are not out of the question. Using the HD camera, you can review your excursions and operations.
Watch out for the killer turtle: so that your superiors can't put any more documents for you to proofread or - even worse - process on your desk, and so that they avoid any contact with this scary-looking yet completely harmless contemporary, this icon should be at all workstations. What's more, the tortoise, a natural predator of panic, heralds your peaceful pace of work. Fits like a glove!
Crime scene B: your private office
To cut a long story short: to find out if you're still alive. Are your vital functions okay? Then get back to work! No pulse? Call the boss and take sick leave - or ask for (paid) leave!
Do you live in a gigantic palace, but feel cooped up in a corner, like you're in prison? Then this super cool skateboard will take you wherever you want to go - you don't even have to move (unless you're too lazy to ride it). Just let yourself go and see where your personal driver takes you. Who knows, maybe you'll come up with a creative idea for your boss...
When I'm not stuffing my face with sweets, you'll catch me running around in the gym hall. I’m a passionate floorball player and coach. On rainy days, I tinker with my homebuilt PCs, robots or other gadgets. Music is always my trusted companion. I also enjoy tackling hilly terrain on my road bike and criss-crossing the country on my cross-country skis.
News + Trends
From the latest iPhone to the return of 80s fashion. The editorial team will help you make sense of it all.
The scenario: you arrive - obviously highly motivated and eager to work - early at the office and try your hand at your workstation... and bim, it's drama, the end and you want to set sail! The monotonous, dull, drab office utensils finish you off and make you feel like a rusty part of a system that works more or less well. You're looking forward to change, colour and action. Don't be afraid, relax and let yourself be seduced by the essentials around your desktop PC, in a world full of life joy and pleasure.
Cool, practical and fun: with this multifunction miracle a la MacGyver, you're equipped for every eventuality: touch pen if you don't want to leave any fingerprints, pen, in case someone has stolen them all from you, torch, as soon as the light goes out, because zombies are attacking and finally, a laser pointer, to annoy your work colleagues (or - killjoy version - to show important things from afar).
Unbearable situation number two: you're flexible, free and enjoying your daily home office 100% - if only there wasn't that dingy office setup you spend 8, 9, or even more hours in front of every day. Come on, it's your home and you still feel like you're on another planet? Do you really want to carry on like this? If you're fed up, pay close attention to the next section and take a good look at these gadgets - it's the only way to escape certain death by boredom.
Let's rock this sh**. With this air guitar, admittedly exorbitantly priced, you can step out of your daily routine, into the spotlight and even use it with your Wii U: let loose, jump around and let off some steam. Note from the fitness department: burn calories, prevent uncomfortable sitting positions and stiff joints included! Wow, where do you find free stuff these days?
Finally: you've done your hours for the day - this stylish alarm clock in walnut wood design helps you not miss the end of your working day. If that's the case, don't worry, because wherever you put it, it's stylish. So you can't go wrong buying it. Another plus: as Paco Rabanne, all you have to do is snap your fingers and the display changes!
Gamers' ABCs: you've no doubt tuned your PC to the max, installed components that are beyond our understanding and sending your electricity bills through the roof. But what does your PC's surroundings look like? Of course a sophisticated gaming mouse, an excellent keyboard that shines like an 80s disco ball and a huge 4K monitor as big as the wall behind it. And yet you're missing that little something to make all your neighbours jealous - not for long, because here you'll find the icing on the cake.
Your gaming headset has everything you need: 7.1 surround sound, great bass, powerful lows and crystal clear highs - wow, what more could you want? But can your enemies hear you? Does your family know what you're doing? Do your flatmates know when you're in a terrifying cave or on the battlefield? No, they shouldn't, hence the headset. So that your swearing, your disappointments or your cries of joy after a triumphant victory don't endanger the lives of your fellow human beings (whoever they may be), this radio covers all the noise. And, incidentally, invites you to dance.
Yes, the sun also shines in Switzerland, and sometimes even in summer. But your blinds are closed 90% of the day so that those dangerous rays don't put an end to your murder spree, you only know the fiery star from games and the fresh air hurts your lungs. But if you like to know from time to time what the weather is like outside, this weather station, which would sweep even Thomas Bucheli off the roof of Meteo, offers you everything your heart desires. So you'll always know what the right wind is bringing.
Many people are probably thinking: what a novel idea, why is this guy offering a gaming mouse as a must-have to brighten up his gaming kingdom? Because! Sorry, but this gem speaks for itself... there's nothing more to say. Sure, it's a little dusty with all those spaces between the keys and the interlocking elements, but let's be honest: look at this beast, it's an eye-catcher! For that, you don't need a gaming machine, or even a PC - this masterpiece should be on display, best in a museum. Dinosaur department, because this baby looks like the descendant of the mighty Tyrannosaurus Rex.

Last, but not least: who thinks to tidy up? Making a mess, especially during an intense gaming session, is very easy (I speak from experience). It's off to the next level and some poor bloke has to tidy up the whole mess. Who cares, the next enemy is already waiting. This sticky mass works miracles, clearing every little space of battle scars and food scraps... as if you'd never been there before, vanished without a trace, Monseur X - black magic, I'm afraid. To the chagrin of the entire gaming industry, I'm not aware (yet) of any title where the hero is equipped with such an accessory - what a shame! Anyway, this mace not only cleans, it also glows a neon yellow.
