Ludwig’s Setup and Streaming Gear

Ludwig uses the Finalmouse Ninja Air58. This sleek mouse was designed to be lightweight, tactile, and perfect for competitive sports players. The cord doesn’t get hung up and the settings are customizable to meet your specific style of play. The Ninja Air58 was a limited edition, so they can no longer be purchased from Finalmouse, though you can find them on Amazon or eBay for 3-4 times its original price.

Ludwig uses the Ducky One 2 Mini RGB keyboard while he is gaming. Many gamers find that using a smaller board with just a few keys is more efficient and lightweight, allowing them to just use the keys necessary for the game. The Ducky One 2 Mini has 61 keys and comes at 60% of the size of a traditional keyboard. It comes in a black and white shell that is stylish and modern and has PBT seamless double-shot keycaps.

Ludwig uses the Alienware – AW2518H gaming monitor. This monitor has a 240Hz native refresh rate for lightning-fast graphics to give you an edge over your competition. There is a 1ms response time that minimized lag and keeps things moving quickly. The monitor adjusts in height and will swivel or pivot to allow you to view the screen from the perfect angle for you.

Ludwig uses the Beyerdynamic DT 990 Pro studio headphone. These German headphones are handcrafted from high-quality materials. They are reliable and durable and they have 3-dimensional sound to alert you to gameplay that is happening behind your character. The headphones fit securely and comfortably due to the robust spring steel headband design.

While it isn’t known for certain which chair Ludwig uses, based on a Tweet he sent in December 2019, it can be assumed that he uses one designed by Herman Miller. He has also stated that he finds gaming chairs to be uncomfortable and he prefers the feel of office chairs.

Many of the top streamers use Herman Miller Embody chair. The chair comes with six ergonomic functions that allow you to properly maintain your posture while you work or play at your computer. It helps you to keep your blood and oxygen stimulated, allowing you to relax while maintaining your focus. The Herman Miller Embody chair comes with a 12-year warranty. Here are a few of Herman Miller’s best features:

• Customizable positioning – you can adjust the seat depth and adjust the arms to find the most comfortable position for you.
• 4 Different layers of support – while they are each created individually, they all work together with your shape that allow you to stay comfortable and cool with the in-designed airflow.
• Designed for people who work and play for long hours at a time, the chair comes with a spine and flexible ribs to align with your natural body shape.

Ludwig’s voice is picked up with the Shure SM7B cardioid dynamic microphone. The mic is used by many of the top streamers as well as by thousands of other streamers on Twitch and YouTube. It has a pop filter that eliminated many backgrounds and breathing sounds, a bass roll-off, and improved rejection of electromagnetic humming. It uses yoke mounting with a captive stand that gives you full control of how it is positioned in front of you. Some of the features include the following:

• Design and build quality – the SM7B is constructed of metal and both heavy and durable. The company designed it to last for years, making it a timeless piece in any studio.
• EQ Frequencies – you can manually change the frequencies to meet your specific needs and to produce crisp sound for your audience.
• 2 Windscreens – you will receive two different styles of windscreens. Try both and use the one that fits your style best.
