If you are looking for specialized PCs and peripherals for gaming and streaming, this is the place for you! Report on "GALLERIA esports Lounge" (Shun Gori's 18th visit to Akiba)

⇒ Click here to see the visit to DOSPAREA Akihabara Main Store.

This time, we visited "GALLERIA esports lounge", which is also a member of the DOSPARA family but specializes in e-sports and streamers (live games).

Please note that the lineups and prices in the photos in this article are current at the time of the interview, and may have changed due to product shortages, replacements, price revisions, etc.

An exclusive visit to the "GALLERIA esports Lounge"!

GALLERIA esports Lounge is located a four-minute walk from the Electric Town North Exit of JR Akihabara Station, a short walk from the intersection of Daikokuya and Bellesalle Akihabara on Chuo-dori Avenue. The store is located on the basement and first floors of the building, with gaming and streamer BTO (build-to-order) PCs as well as headsets essential for live gaming on the first floor, and peripherals such as keyboards and mice on the basement floor.

Visitors can actually touch and feel PCs for gaming and streamers!

On the first floor, in addition to the lineup of BTO PCs synonymous with the company, PCs with specialized configurations for gaming and streaming are sold. Of course, you can also order your own combination of PCs at the store. If the specs of the PC you want are not too special, we have some stock available so you can buy it and take it home with you.

The PC lineup includes models collaborating with famous VTubers, streamers (video game players), and e-sports teams, making it a coveted selection for e-sports players, their fans, and aspiring players.

The headsets that fill an entire wall on the first floor are an impressive selection! Visitors can choose the size, weight, comfort, color, etc., which are difficult to find on mail order, while viewing the actual products. With the recent increase in the number of female video game players, headsets have become a part of fashion, so it was nice to see an exhibit where visitors could actually hold one in their hands and check it out.

Can you play with the mouse and keyboard to see for yourself?

On the landing of the stairs leading down to the basement floor, there is a display that simulates a situation in which streamers and VTubers are delivering videos, making it easy to imagine yourself operating the device.

On the wall of the dance floor, there is an assortment of mouse pads, which are indispensable for games such as FPS, where the slightest movement of the mouse can determine the outcome of the game. Nearby are exhibits that you can actually touch. There is a wide variety of mousepads to choose from in terms of size, slipperiness, and actually holding them in one's hands.

Inside the store on the first basement floor, PCs are lined up under subdued lighting. Here, dospara members can play on high-performance PCs for 350 yen per hour. Most popular game titles are already installed and ready to play with your own ID. Reservations can be made on line up to the day before, and if there is space available on the day, you can play without a reservation.

To become a DOSPARA member on the spot, all you need is an ID card, and you can also connect your mouse and keyboard in the store to actually play the games. Since the actual feel and fit of the gaming keyboard, mouse, and headset are important, you can try them out here and choose the one that best fits you. Of course, you can also test the compatibility of the mouse and mouse pad. It is not an inexpensive purchase, so it is really helpful to be able to test the playing environment before purchasing.

All of the mice and keyboards on display in the store can actually be held and touched. Many people consider the touch sound of a keyboard important, so more and more stores are offering this kind of display these days, but being able to try out almost all products in such a large selection is a unique attraction of this store.

When choosing a mouse, weight is a concern! At this store, the weight is also listed on the price tag, which can be used as a reference when making a purchase. It would be nice if we could actually hold and check everything, but it would be difficult to test everything in such a large selection, so this kind of attention is a nice touch.

And so, for the 18th installment of Shun Gori's Akiba Exploration, we visited the "GALLERIA esports Lounge.

The store is small for a PC store in Akihabara, but it is a store with a lot of attention to detail, with a product lineup focused on e-sports players and streamers, and displays from the customer's point of view.

If you want to become an e-sports player or streamer, or if you want to improve your game-playing environment to professional specifications, why not pay a visit?

Finally, a quick snapshot of the store manager, Mr. Matsumoto, who gave us a detailed and easy-to-understand tour of the store.

We will continue to add more Akiba information in the future, so please look forward to it!
