Our 160x75cm EZ Desk Air represents fantastic value for a L shaped standing desk.
2. Corner Desk Setup
Corner desk setups are space-spacing furniture that allows you to make the best use of a corner of your room or workspace. Depending on your desk width, you can keep more than one monitor on the surface along with other essentials. With a corner desk like this, you could also get shelves for storage and an elevated platform. Image Credit: Corner Gaming Desk

For gamers who also work from home, a gaming setup that serves two purposes is the best option. Since you’ll be working during the day and playing in the evening, spending a lot of time sitting on the chair will hurt your back. A functional desk like the EZ Carbon Edition desk can easily transform into a standing desk and allow you a comfortable working/gaming experience, minus the soreness. Image Credit: IG@spawnpoiint

The minimalist trend is here to stay and we can’t deny how eye-pleasing it is. Having a simple, organized and useful desk could be all you need. It allows players to focus on just gaming.

5. Storage-friendly Setup
Gaming addicts might have collections of video games and valuable possessions that need perfect storage within the gaming zone. For such needs, opt for a storage-friendly gaming setup that allows you to store all your essentials in one place. If you don’t want cabinets above your desk, floating shelves are a good alternative. Drawers help to hide any clutter on the desk and organize your little accessories. Image Credit: Closet & Storage Concepts

Female gamers bring a wonderful variation to the gaming setup ideas. From pink pastel to kawaii themed, gaming can be feminine, fun and cute at the same time.

It’s awe-inspiring how creativity can turn a small gaming space into something unique. Whether you choose a bright colour scheme or keep it black and white is up to you. The only drawback is that you won’t have enough space for multiple monitors or extra accessories. Image Credit: Reddit user: u/3amz

A luxury gaming setup doesn’t have to mean filling every inch of your space with accessories and decors. You can invest in the most high-quality devices and exclusive accessories that not only stand out but feel luxurious as well. Image Credit: u/im_eating_pizza_AMA

What Things Do You Need for a Gaming Setup?
We don’t want to limit you to a small list of accessories when there’s a wide range of exciting gaming accessories to try out. To keep things simple, we’ve focused only on the basic gaming components and a few accessories to guide beginners on how to setup a gaming desk.
Fundamentals
- Desk - With so many types of gaming desks to choose from, you can either choose an L-shaped desk for maximum space or enjoy the health perks of using a standing functional desk like the EZ Standing Desk - Carbon Edition.
- Chair - Comfort is one of our top priorities and so should be yours. A gamer needs the highest comfort since they spend a majority of their time at the desk, sitting in one position. Hence, we suggest you invest in a high-quality ergonomic gaming chair that properly supports your back.
- Monitor(s) - Based on your setup preference, you can buy a single monitor or triple monitor. Sophisticated gaming setups sometimes have more than three monitors but for beginners, one monitor is sufficient.
- Gaming PC - A PC built for gaming is different from a regular PC. Building your own PC gives you the freedom to individually choose all the components you want and also customize it according to the colour scheme you have in mind. Pre-built PC’s are available but often cost more than DIY PC.
- Keyboard and Mouse - Choose a keyboard and a mouse that has gaming features, a stylish design and fits your colour scheme.
- Controller & Gaming console - These are vital components to your gaming setup. You can have a video gaming console and a controller or other similar devices for the ultimate gaming experience.
- Headset - High-quality headsets are a great investment if you value sound quality.
Accessories
- Lighting - RGB, strip lighting, wall lighting, lamp, and many other lighting accessories are a must for adding the gaming vibe to your setup.
- Large Mousepad - A large space makes gaming much smoother and easier for navigating and moving your mouse around.
- Headphone Stand - Helps to keep your headset organized (optional).
- Monitor Mount - If you’ve got multiple monitors then you could mount one or two of them. Mounting monitors save space on your desk.
- Plants or Figurines - Add a touch of personality to your setup with figurines, showpieces, decor items or plants.

Gaming Desk FAQs
What kind of desk should I get for gaming?
Gaming desks come in various shapes and sizes. You'll need to consider the following:
- The shape and size desk you require for the space in which it'll be located.
- Whether you'll be working at the desk for extended periods, and therefore whether you should invest in a height adjustable desk.
- The style of desk you're after. Wood effect desks are less popular amongst gamers, with black and carbon fibre finishes being most popular.
- The weight bearing capacity of the desk (most important for height adjustable desks).
- Added features - RGB lighting, headphone holders, monitor risers, etc.
Are gaming desks worth it?
Gaming desks are at their core, the same as a regular desk / standing desk. They are simply a piece of furniture which holds your desk equipment. However, there are many good reasons to invest in a gaming desk. Gaming desks have many of the features, and aesthetics which appeal to gamers, and are usually designed in a specific type of way. Whether they are worth it or not comes down to your specific use case!
What is special about gaming desks?
Gaming desks do not usually have too many discerning features which differentiate them from regular desks. However, a good gaming desk will be strong enough to hold a heavy setup (most important for height adjustable desks), and they will have features which appeal to gamers. For example, most gaming desks will come with headphone holders, cup holders, and in some cases under desk storage for PC towers / RGB lighting.
Are L shaped desks good for gaming?
L shaped, or corner desks are great for those who have extra space, or have a lot to fit on the desk. The shape of an L desk means that everything is easily in reach, whilst providing additional desk area for your gear. Corner desks are available with both fixed frames, and adjustable height frames (standing desks).
How long should a gaming desk be?
It depends on what you need to put on it. For most home gamers, a 120cm desk is sufficient as it has enough space for a dual monitor setup, with a PC gaming tower. That being said, with the gaming tower on the floor, there's more space available for other gear, or even a third monitor.
For more serious users, a 140 or 160cm desk length might be best. We recommend a width of at least 60cm, but beyond 70cm isn't usually necessary.
What else should I look for?
A great gaming setup is not complete without a gaming chair, gaming keyboard and mouse. Our desks all have the option to customise with various accessories such as cable management, monitor mounts, and more. We hope to expand on our range with time.
What should a gaming desk have?
A gaming desk should have enough space for you to place and store all your gaming devices and accessories. Most good quality gaming desks come with useful features like cup and headset holders, a cable management compartment, and a few shelves or drawers if required. It’s even better if the gaming desk can be switched to a standing desk anytime.
How can I make my gaming desk look better?
Keeping your desk organized and clutter-free is the easiest way to make it look better. Make sure you manage your cables and smartly hide those wires. You can also add light strips, plant pots, figurines, digital displays, mini gadgets, table lamps and similar accessories to your desk.
How much is a gaming setup?
The actual cost of a gaming setup depends on all the components combined. Starting from £500 to £5000, the cost of gaming PC, monitor, chair, desk, devices, accessories, and other related parts will have individual costs that add up in the end.
Can you use a normal desk for gaming?
You can use a regular desk for gaming if you don’t wish to spend on a desk that is specially designed with gamers in mind. However, without a proper gaming desk, you’ll lose out on the desk space, gaming features, ergonomic design, height adjustment and other useful functionalities.
How much weight should a gaming Desk hold?
Most good quality gaming desks can hold up to 400kg of weight. Wooden gaming desks can usually hold up to 68kg. Gaming desks made of certain materials, such as metal, can hold up much more weight than average ones. It’s always a good idea to invest in a durable and high-quality gaming desk.
