What Makes a Good Gaming Desk?

A good gaming desk carries your monitors, fits your height sitting and standing, keeps cables tidy and leaves room for a full mouse sweep. Every effydesk desk lifts at least 310 lbs, enough for a PC tower and monitors on arms. Each one has four memory presets and a gyroscope anti-collision sensor that stops the desk when it meets an obstacle.

Is a Standing Desk Good for Gaming?

Yes. A standing desk lets you change position between matches instead of staying seated. Save one preset for sitting and one for standing, and a single tap moves the desk between them at 35 mm/s during a queue or a loading screen.

Which effydesk Desk Is Best for Gaming?

Start with the Nimble for a single or dual monitor setup. Choose the Grove for a corner, three screens or a heavy rig.

Nimble Standing Desk: the value pick, from $715, with tops in Oak White, Oak Wood or Oak Black.
Wildwood Standing Desk: a solid Acacia, Pheasantwood or Walnut top, from $925.
Terra Standing Desk: a butcher block top made in Canada from recycled chopsticks by ChopValue, from $1,294.
Grove Standing Desk: L-shaped, with a third motor and a 410 lb capacity, $1,425.
Shift Standing Frame: the frame on its own, for a desktop you already own, from $645.

What Size Gaming Desk Do You Need?

For two 27-inch monitors, a 59" top leaves room to spare. A 27-inch monitor is about 24 inches wide, so two side by side take about 48 inches before speakers or a mic arm. Go to 71" or the L-shaped Grove for three screens or a separate streaming area. The straight desks are 29" deep, with space for a keyboard and mouse in front of the screens.

Do Monitor Arms Help a Gaming Setup?

Yes. Arms lift screens off the desktop, free space for your mouse and keyboard, and move with the desk when you change height. The Dual Monitor Arm ($175) holds two 17" to 32" screens up to 19.8 lbs each. The Single Monitor Arm ($115) holds one 17" to 36" screen up to 26.4 lbs. Check your monitor’s weight and VESA pattern (75x75 or 100x100) before you order.

What Else Do You Need for a Gaming Setup?

Pair the desk with one of our ergonomic gaming chairs, then add a Desk Pad, a standing mat or a desk shelf from our desk accessories. Desk tops, chairs and monitor arms are covered for 2 years. effydesk is a Canadian company, and its desks are designed in Vancouver.

How much weight can a gaming desk hold?

The Nimble, Terra and Wildwood each lift up to 310 lbs. The triple-motor Grove lifts up to 410 lbs, which suits a heavy multi-monitor rig.

Are effydesk standing desks loud when they move?

No. effydesk desks run at under 45 dB while moving and lift at 35 mm/s, so a height change between matches stays quick and quiet.

Can I use my own desktop with an effydesk frame?

Yes. The Shift Standing Frame is sold without a top. The dual-leg version is $645 and lifts 310 lbs; the triple-leg version is $975 and lifts 410 lbs.

Do effydesk gaming desks come with cable management?

Yes. Every effydesk standing desk includes a cable management tray and power bar strip holders, so PC, monitor and lighting cables stay off the floor.
