Every gaming room needs a great gaming desk and traditionally, they have been geared toward PC gamers to house their mice, keyboards, monitors and other accessories.
Now that console gaming has reached its next generation, the performance of many titles has begun to rival that of high-end PCs and this means that many players are looking to optimize their gaming setup to be comfortable and competitive.
Part of this setup will be a gaming desk, of which there are many available. This vast number of available products can be very daunting since they all offer different features, dimensions and aesthetics. That being said, let’s break down some gaming desks ideal for console gaming.
Secretlab Magnus Gaming Desk
Secretlab has become perhaps the biggest name in the production of gaming chairs but many do not realize that they also manufacture a good line of gaming desks. The pinnacle of these products is the Secretlab Magnus which features a distinct RGB lighting strip at the back of the desk.
Beneath this strip, there is a dedicated slot for cable management to keep your gaming setup clean and clear. For an added layer of customization, there is an interchangeable magnetic desk mat which can be swapped out for a variety of designs on offer from Secretlab.
With a sleek design, distinctive RGB strip, excellent cable management and full customization, the Secretlab Magnus is one of the best gaming desks for consoles on the market.
Homall Gaming Desk
The Homall Gaming Desk has quite a few features that make it a solid choice for a console set up. Since it is quite a large unit, there is plenty of space for your chunky console such as the PS5 or Xbox Series X.
There is a built-in cup holder to keep you hydrated during long gaming sessions as well as a convenient headset hook to keep your room neat and tidy. Complete with a carbon fiber finish, the Homall Gaming desk offers a racing style that would look great in most gaming rooms.
AndaSeat Mask 2
We have covered one gaming desk with RGB lighting already but here is another one with the Anda Sea Mask 2. The desk has a large, no-nonsense surface with cable grommets, a detachable cup holder and an underside cable box.
The RGB lights are side-mounted, with a futuristic design with three geometric lighting slats. The notched forward edge of the AndaSeat Mask 2 is a unique addition to this gaming desk.
Herman Miller x Logitech G Nevi Gaming Desk
We go from one simplistic gaming desk to another with the Herman Miller x Logitech G Nevi. This stylish desk is highly adjustable due to the electrical lift to raise or lower the G Nevi.
The electrical raising and lowering of the desk is quiet too, which is an added bonus to this excellent feature. Despite this option being rather stylish, it is quite expensive so may price out some players on a budget.
Eureka Z1S Gaming Desk
If you want a gaming desk that comes absolutely packed with features, look no further than the Eureka Z1S. It comes equipped with a cup holder, headset hook, controller stand, socket holder, two cable holes and an oversized mouse mat. It even comes with side-mounted LED lights which add a great effect for late-night gaming.
Citadel Gaming Desk L Shape
If you are looking for an L-shaped desk to settle into your gaming room’s corner, the Citadel Gaming desk is a great choice. Offering a large amount of surface space for your consoles and accessories, the Citadel gaming desk features an attractive carbon fiber finish.
With adjustable height legs, an included mouse mat, a built-in cup holder, headset hook and cable management grommets, the Citadel Gaming desk is an excellent option for console players.
Respawn 3010 Gaming Desk
This next entry is the only desk on this list with a tiered platform system to elevate your gaming monitor for ergonomic purposes. It is finished in a simplistic black color with contrasting plastic trims available in blue, green, gray or red. True to its aims to be an ergonomic solution, there are adjustable legs and a beveled front edge for forearm comfort.
The Respawn 2010 is not shy of features either since it comes complete with a cup holder, headset hook and speaker holders. If you are a minimalist, the Respawn 3010 will not be for you since it has a distinct technological look.
Arozzi Arena Gaming Desk
The Arozzi Arena Gaming Desk has a distinct eSports feel, with its large black surface imprinted with the red Arozzi logo and detailing. It also features a full-surface mouse pad which is perfect for PC gaming but will allow comfortable console gaming too. With height adjustment, full water resistance, cable management and tons of space, the Arozzi Arena Gaming Desk is a great choice for competitive console players.
The full surface mouse pad may put some players off, as they may want to opt for a hard, smooth surface that can be seen with the other options above.
