Top 10 best gaming desks

We are going to review the different models that we think are the most relevant in your search for a gaming desk.

1. Eureka Ergonomic Bureau Gaming P55

The Eureka Ergonomic P55 is a slightly larger than average gaming desk. Its length of 148 cm allows you to align up to three screens ! It is then easy to imagine also a portable, an external screen, a printer or a console posed in addition on this desk. It is equipped with all the accessories like a double helmet holder , a drink holder and an ultra-large mouse pad. You obviously have a cable tidy and a little extra for the controller holder which also acts as a USB charging hub.

The design of the P55 is neat with its sturdy and compact steel legs , a carbon coating and 7-color RGB! A slight downside to the cable management support which is screwed just below the place usually used to fix the screen holder and the somewhat cheap gamer decorations. The foot is adjustable only on 1 cm, this to adapt to the roughness of the ground. It is reputed to be easy to assemble, even alone, and is very robust for a fair price.

2. Sanodesk GD01

With the Sanodesk GD01 you will see big, very big! Its dimensions of 160 x 60 x 79.3 cm make it a titan capable of carrying up to 80 kg of equipment and three 27-inch screens in length! It is also equipped with a height adjustment of 70 to 80 cm . Lots of accessories are included, a full-surface silicone mouse pad, cup holder and headphone holder. Cable management is included via a fairly discreet net under the desk. This model is heavy and super robust, so it will ensure excellent stability for your equipment in game if you tend to be a little “extreme” in your gameplay.

Despite its size, it remains simple to assemble, everything is provided, you will not need additional tools, no hassle in anticipation. Its design is more sober for the gaming office, it may also be suitable for a more conventional environment or telecommuting. Users generally praise its stable and sturdy appearance, perfect for intensive use.

3. Spirit Of Gamer HeadQuarter 300

The Spirit of Gamer HeadQuarter 300 is a compact gaming desk capable of sneaking into a space of 120 cm. It is no less discreet or shy with its superb RGB decoration adjustable via the remote control . The appearance of the HeadQuarter 300 is even sleek with its Black-Red colors, slanted legs, carbon coating and U-shaped cutout that will accentuate immersion during play. It is smaller and therefore naturally lighter than the others, but it retains good stability of the board . Cable grommets are present without being the most effective.

Keep in mind that for this rather low price, you will have a solid, well thought out and appropriate gaming desk for your interior. It is unfortunately not adjustable in height, but on the other hand the assembly is very quick and easy . The two holes for passing the cables are very practical for saving space on the surface while having the possibility of sticking the desk to the wall. To conclude, the Spirit of Gamer HeadQuarter 300 is ideal for a compact gaming desk that is very good value for money.

4. Arozzi Arena

Features & Reviews

For the first place in our ranking, we have chosen the office of Arozzi Arena. Its sleek and smooth design gives a great class to this gaming desk. The dimensions of this product are: 160 cm wide, 75 cm high and 82 cm deep . This is a very large surface that can accommodate up to three monitors at the same time. The height is adjustable over 10 cm (between 70 and 80). The table is made of MDF (Medium Density Fiberboard), wood fibers with a rather resistant synthetic binder.

It comes with a large 5mm thick mouse pad that covers the entire table. It is waterproof, washable and sewn in microfiber for good resistance. Three holes are provided for the passage of cables: two on the sides and one in the center. Under the table, you will find a net to receive all the connectors lying around and thus organize your cable management as well as possible . This desktop model is available in several colors.

5. Trust Gaming GXT 711 Dominus

Features & Reviews

With dimensions a little smaller than average, the Trust Gaming GTX711 Dominus is an excellent desk for those who have a smaller space ( 115 x 73.5 x 76 cm ). It is a model with a simple and sober design with Y-shaped legs , slightly adjustable , as well as a crossbar to ensure the solidity of the whole. The top is in MDF , therefore quite resistant, the rest of the structure is in steel. The PU (leatherette) finishes are very appreciable and add a pleasant touch to the design of the object. Its dimensions are quite respectable and can accommodate up to two medium-sized monitors.

A little extra for this model: the front of the desk is slightly inclined so that the wrists can rest without pain. You will only find one grommet . As an option, it is possible to have a cup holder and a helmet holder . This desktop model is specially dedicated to long gaming sessions .

6. Robas Lund Bureau Gamer DX Racer 2

Features & Reviews

The Robas Lund DX Racer 2 is an excellent mid-size gaming desk, 120(W)x77(H)x64(D ). With its dimensions, it is possible to install a monitor and still have a good space on the sides to add a console or install its accessories (microphone, controllers, etc.). It comes with a drink holder and a helmet hook . Regarding the cable management, a cable pass is provided in the tray with a metal box to receive all your wires .

Visually, this product is quite sober . Mounted on a steel structure with a carbon look top , the whole thing is quite solid . A giant microfiber mouse pad is provided and covers the entire tray. It is washable and replaceable by contacting the brand’s spare parts service. A small downside should be noted: the absence of removable feet . If you are tall or short compared to average, this product could be a problem for you.

7. Arozzi Lightweight

Features & Reviews

The Arozzi Leggero is a gaming desk of the same bill as its big brother the Arena. Composed of a steel structure with an MDF top , it comes with a water-resistant, washable microfiber mouse pad that covers the entire surface of the desk. The carpet is quite messy, do not hesitate to wash it cold and dry it in the open air. On this model, you will have three cutouts to pass your cables or connect a monitor. On the bottom you will find a storage net.

Here we have a desk with more modest dimensions but with a good depth: 114 X 72 X 75.5 cm . Its height is fixed, only four screws located on the feet , make it possible to modify the balance of the whole so that it can adapt to any type of environment. A small downside should be noted on the Leggero, during very fast (or brutal) movements of the mouse on the surface, the desk may move a little at the same time. You will undoubtedly appreciate the ergonomic design for everyday use.

8. SyberDesk

Features & Reviews

The SyberDesk is an excellent product where we find all the characteristics that make a good gaming desk: a metal structure and an MDF top . The trapeze legs are very stable. Each of them has a screw to adjust the balance of the whole according to your environment. This desk is a nice anvil once assembled. This model has only one cable pass , quite wide all the same and its dimensions make it a fairly large model ( 132 X 65 X 73 ).

A two-part LED strip is installed on the back of the desk. Controlled by remote control, the rendering is very pleasant and aesthetic when the light is reflected outwards. On the other hand, a certain number of users deplore its fragility . One of the two parts breaks regularly so be careful not to stick the desk too tightly against your wall. The assembly instructions will not necessarily be in French and expect to have to screw into the wood. No need to be Hulk, but a good grip will not be too much. Overall it’s a simple and effective model . Despite some less good points, this desk will work perfectly for a gamer.

9. Eureka Ergonomic R1-S

Features & Reviews

This model is 110 cm wide, 67.5 cm high and 77.5 cm deep . This model is one of the narrowest but has a very nice gaming finish. The Eureka Ergonomics R1-S is built on a metal structure and an MDF top with a carbon fiber effect finish. The edges of the tray are raised and give the impression of being installed in a cockpit of the future . Design-wise, this desk is built in an R-shape . The set is designed to offer good solidity , but above all to limit the movements of the desk in the event of intense practice. Each foot is equipped with a screw to adjust the balance .

Below the object you will find a cable tidy . Small less to specify: the keyboard holder visible on the promotional photos is not supplied with the object. A little extra to note: presence of a cup holder , a helmet hook and storage for controllers and video games . On the back of the desk there are LED barswithout memory, the configurations must be redone at each launch. They work perfectly and give a very pleasant atmosphere for night sessions. Regarding the assembly, no difficulty is to be expected. In the box you will find all the necessary tools, even the screwdriver. The Eureka Ergonomics R1-S will satisfy a gamer who wants a modestly sized object, but who still throws some away.

Gaming desk buying guide

Welcome to our gaming desk buying guide . Together we will see what features and details you will need to check before embarking on such a purchase. There are products with sometimes crucial variants to establish the best possible set up.

Dimensions and space available

First, you need to determine how much space you have . A good old tape measure does the trick. Take some leeway! If you want to add a multi-socket, a trash can or any object, it will be better to take it into account. Don’t forget to leave some space at the back for the cables to run smoothly. Once the available space has been determined, start listing the objects you want to install on your future desk based on the calculated space.

Regarding the height now, you will have to take into account your height . The desks are all ergonomic, but you will need a good position to take full advantage of them. Studies on this subject suggest a particular position for working or playing in front of a screen with:

• an angle of: 90 to 120° for the hips,
• 90 to 130° for the knees,
• 100 to 120° for the ankles.

Depending on your size and your morphology, try to find a gaming chair that will provide you with the ideal lumbar support, inclination and depth to stay within the proposed range. The desk you choose must be of a height that allows this installation. Otherwise, joint complications will quickly set in. Models with height adjustment are ideal to overcome this difficulty.

Wiring, mounting and mousepad

In terms of cable management (or cable management ), most gaming desks have an installation provided under the main plate . It is found in the form of a closed shell , a net or a mesh . The closed hull is the most aesthetic, but may be more difficult to access in the event of a problem. The net is rather pretty at the start and offers the advantage of being able to accommodate a large number of cables. Obviously, over time, it may relax and dangle a little. The fence is not very beautiful and gives an impression of fragility. The cables are easily accessible but can sometimes hang down. Each offers pros and cons, Up to you. You might as well take it all apart and do something yourself .

The assembly can be more or less complex depending on the model you choose. Take a look at what’s in the box. You will find some tools, but not all. If you’re not too handy, some models could cause you to lose some hair. Many models come with a surface that can act as a mouse pad. You are free to use it or not, but it is generally welcome if you are in the habit of accidentally spilling the contents of your glass or can.

Gaming Desks FAQ

How to make a beautiful cable management?

Wiring management is more aesthetic than technical. The return is always worth it. It is also a question of security and increased protection. To start, get some essential accessories: clamps, cable ties and straps. Gaming desks often come with grommets, nets, or boxes to accommodate cabling. This can already help to store the multi-sockets and make the set up cleaner. Try not to group all your cables together, but rather to separate them between power cables or video cables and then peripheral cables (which must be changed more regularly). Your worst enemy will undoubtedly be the length of the cables themselves. Do not hesitate to take the measurements you will need. There are USB extensions or peripheral connectors in a longer version.

What accessories to consider when buying?

When buying a gaming desk, you will need to consider several accessories that may interest you. The armchair forms an essential tandem with the desk . At least one of the two must be height adjustable for ergonomics . It is better to plan the number of necessary sockets and, consequently, the possible multi-sockets to buy. Do not forget to take into account a possible mouse pad , if you do not want to use the one supplied with it or if the product does not have one.

Is it absolutely necessary to have a gaming desk?

To this question we will of course answer no! But… When you spend time and invest good sums in a passion, you are tempted to go to the maximum. It is a pleasure to see a beautiful object well installed ; and it is a pleasure to use it to the fullest of its capabilities. A gaming desk will not make you stronger. On the other hand, it can save you from severe back, lumbar and cervical pain .
