Not everyone is blessed with a large space to fill with a gaming desk. These gaming desks are often quite large by design to accommodate all of the equipment that players need such as PCs, consoles, monitors, keyboards, mice and more. This leads many people with smaller rooms or who want to save space to wonder how they can possibly achieve their dream gaming set up.
Luckily, many gaming desk manufacturers have become wise to this issue and have developed smaller solutions that occupy less space in clever ways. Here we will be listing some great small gaming desks.
Eureka Ergonomic Z1S
Kicking things off we have a small gaming desk with Z shaped legs that is nicely compact while still being stacked with features. This desk has customizable RGB lighting on either side of the unit, which feature 8 distinct lighting modes. The desktop surface itself is finished in a carbon fiber texture, with two cable grommets embedded into the back of the desk.
The Z1S also comes with a free, oversized mouse pad which can hold both your keyboard and your mouse. As well as this mouse pad there is a cup holder, controller stand and a headset hook. All of these features are packed into a compact frame at a reasonable price of $209.79.
Dimensions: 60cm x 110cm x 75.8cm
E-WIN 2.0 Edition
Here we have another small gaming desk with RGB lighting strips lining the edges of the desk. The E-WIN 2.0 edition is a great minimalistic option which is supported by strong aluminum legs and features an ergonomic five degree incline with its carbon fiber textured desk. It doesn’t have the same amount of features that the previous entry has but it does come with a cup holder as standard.
While the design will be slightly too simple for some gamers, others will see it as a clean blank canvas which they can customize to their liking. That being said, the RGB lighting does add some flair to an otherwise bland design.
Dimensions: 68cm x 120cm x 75cm
GTPLAYER Gaming Desk
When space is limited, using a tiered platform system for a gaming desk can help to be efficient with the amount of room available on the surfaces. The GTPLAYER Z-Shaped gaming desk does exactly this by providing a separate platform layer elevated above the main desk to support your gaming monitor.
As well as this elevated level, the desk features two speaker holders suspended from the edges of the desk to maximize the available space for other accessories. With a great black and red color scheme, a sturdy metal frame and a cup holder, the GTPLAYER Z-Shaped gaming desk offers great value.
Mojo Gamer Pro
Since we want to cover all bases here, we are including a standing gaming desk. Standing gaming desks are not particularly common but if you are stuck for space, the Mojo Gamer Pro is a solid option that comes with a suspended PC hanger, magnetic cable tray, monitor arm and connecting chain.
In case you want to use the Mojo Gamer pro as a traditional gaming desk, you can by electronically raising and lowering the desk. This kind of desk will definitely not appeal to everyone, so only consider this if you are partial to shorter standing gaming sessions.
Dimensions: 76.2cm x 121.9cm x 127cm
Mr IRONSTONE 31.5″-45.3″
This next entry is another gaming desk with a Z shaped leg design. The legs and frame of the desk is manufactured from a sturdy steel with a carbon fiber finish. The desk surface itself is very compact and features an attached cup holder and headset hook. The legs are also stamped with a checkered design that gives the desk a distinctive racing feel.
It is also worth mentioning the beveled front edge that allows an ergonomic arm position when using this rather small gaming desk. In terms of cable management, there are two sizable cable grommets that will allows you to run your wires through the desk to keep it clear of clutter.
MOTPK Ergonomic Gaming Desk Z-Shaped
For the final listing we will be looking at a desk that is aimed more toward a younger audience with the MOTPK gaming desk. This desk is rather small and features the two tiered system that we previously discussed to optimize the available space.
It features an ergonomic desk with rounded corners, Z shaped steel legs and a carbon fiber textured finish. There is a sleek red trip that gives the desk a sporty feel and the addition of a cupholder and headset hook is a welcome bonus. It is also available in pink or white to appeal to a broader range of younger gamers.
