I've upgraded my moody cottagecore gaming setup with a few Prime Day deals on woodsy peripherals and lighting
Turn it green, orange, or brown, and we have a deal.
For someone who doesn't venture into nature very often, I sure do like recreating the feeling of being outdoors while I'm inside. Pretty much everything I buy is in a shade of green, brown, or orange, and that goes for fixtures in my gaming setup, too. I suppose it's what we're calling "cottagecore" these days, but I'm a little more moody with an aversion towards anything bright.
If you've ever searched for anything gaming related in green, then you'll see how the intolerance for bright colors could be a problem. Bright neon gamer green is enemy number one in my book— the exact opposite of my tastes—but I've slowly picked up a few earthy accessories that complement the wood tones and orange lights I've surrounded myself with.

If you're looking for a similar setup, some of those goodies are also discounted as part of Amazon Prime Day deals, so you can begin your nature-fueled transformation, too.
8BitDo Retro 87 Mechanical Keyboard
8BitDo Retro 87 Mechanical Keyboard (Xbox Edition) Bluetooth/2.4G / USB Type-C | $119.99 $99.99 at Amazon (save $20)
When I said I'm not into gamer green, that did not include anything in shades of transparent hardware nostalgia. I'm still a sucker for the old see-through console look, and while I wasn't totally sold on stock images, the 8Bitdo Retro 87 Mechanical Keyboard looks way better in-person. I keep the RGB dialed down low, but I've got an orangey lighting profile that's cute against the dark green.

8Bitdo Ultimate C Hall
8Bitdo Ultimate C Hall (Dark Green) / Hall Effect / Wired | $34.99 $27.99 on Amazon (save $7)
I'm notorious for using mouse and keyboard controls in situations where I shouldn't, but 8bitdo finally won me over. The Ultimate C was my first 8Bitdo controller in a spur-of-the-moment decision from another sale, and one that made me a little less of a nightmare gamer. No more Devil May Cry 3 with WASD.
Govee RGBIC Gaming Light Bars
Govee RGBIC Gaming Light Bars | $89.99 $59.99 on Amazon (save $30)
My most important piece of moody setup advice: turn off the overhead lights. I seriously did not realize how much the boring, centered recessed lighting fixtures in my room bothered me until I flipped the switch off and grabbed a few lamps. That was years ago, and I've added these Govee Light Bars to my setup since then.
Edifier R1280DBs
Edifier R1280DBs | 199.99 $149.99 on Amazon (save $50)
Usually I've got earbuds in, but when I don't, I've got my Edifiers going. The wood grain looks nice and fits right in beside my Fractal North XL—the same classy PC case Nick recommended. I'm always a little worried my fake wood accessories will look painfully plastic (as they are), but these fit right in alongside some of my real wooden knick-knacks.
