Best Gaming Desk 2020: The Finest Desks for PC and Console Gaming

You can't show off your gaming PC or console setup if it's all crammed into a lackluster desk, worse still if it's your PC or console is closed in a desk cabinet where it can't get proper airflow. A great desk will give you room to make the most of your gaming battle station. You should have room for your monitor, plenty of space for your mouse and keyboard, and the desk should serve as a complement to the style of the hardware at the heart of it all.

Some gaming desks will give you serious quality-of-life improvements over a basic desk. They can include cable management to hide all your wires. They might have an adjustable height, letting you get better ergonomics for comfort during long play sessions. Some include USB hubs to really step their utility up to the next level. A good few even have RGB lighting if you want to go all-in on style.

Your gaming desk shouldn't hold you back, and we've got an assortment of options so you can find one that'll best fit your setup.

TL;DR – These are the Best Gaming Desks:

1. ApexDesk Elite Series

If you're looking for a great all-around gaming desk check out the ApexDesk Elite Series. It's a sturdily built, motorized standing desk designed to hold up to 225 pounds. It's also 60 inches wide, so it's big enough to hold up to three gaming monitors for flight simulators or racing games on top. Streamers will also be right at home with this large and supportive desk that can take the weight of multiple gaming PCs and displays.

Studies show sitting down for long periods is not good for your health. With the Apex Elite computer desk, that problem is solved since it can be converted to a standing platform just by reaching down and pressing a button. Just make sure your cords are all long enough to not become unplugged when it's in standing desk mode.

2. Eureka Ergonomic I1

Gaming desks can be expensive often starting at least $300 and up, but the Eureka Ergonomic I1 is one of the few desks that cost only $150. It'll give your setup the "gamer look" with its carbon fiber tabletop, angular lines, and blacked-out frame. The Eureka Ergonomic I1 even packs in a few useful elements like an integrated cable tray and grommets for wire management.

That said for such a low price you this desk does come with a few compromises, namely its small size at just 43.3-inches across diagonally. This desk can also only handle up to 150 pounds, so it can support a dual monitor setup and your PC rig plus peripherals, but we wouldn't push it beyond that.

3. Respawn 2000 Gaming L-Desk

If you want to take your gaming battlestation to the next level (and you have the room for it) an L-shaped computer desk is the way to go. The Respawn 2000 Gaming Computer Desk is the a giant L-shaped desk designed specifically for gaming. In the center is a raised monitor shelf that can handle the biggest ultrawide curved gaming monitors—and you can remove it for multi-monitor setups. On the sides, there are also accessory shelves for gaming headsets and cups.

The Respawn 2000 Gaming L-Desk is the perfect computer desk mega-sized gaming battlestations. With a play space this big you'll have room for your gaming PC, gaming laptop, figurine collection, amiibos, and anything else you want.

4. Uplift V2 4-Leg Standing Desk

If you're like us and want a standing desk without any wobble whatsoever, you're going to want the Uplift V2 4-Leg Standing Desk. It's one of the few standing desks on the market with four motorized legs and that's exactly what makes it so much more stable than other options that come with two. Even compared to smart desks that feature crossbar for stability, nothing we've tested is quite as rock-solid as the Uplift V2 4-Leg Standing Desk.

The Uplift V2 desk's four legs also makes it one of the heaviest lifters and it can handle up to 535 pounds of gear. That's plenty of weight capacity for multiple gaming monitors, several gaming PCs, and even your collection of weights. Heck, the ground this desk stands on is liable to collapse sooner than you'll be able to overload the Uplift V2 4-Leg Standing Desk.

5. Thermaltake Tt Gaming Level 20 RGB Battlestation

Best Standing Desk for Gaming

RGB has come to PC cases, fans, peripherals, power supplies, gaming monitors, and so it seems fitting that you should complete your fully lit setup with an RGB PC gaming desk. While we would like to say we're only joking here, the Thermaltake Tt Gaming Level 20 RGB Battlestation is a very real RGB computer desk you can buy today—if you have $1,199 lying around that is. This desk costs a kingly sum, but you get 20 customizable lighting zones you can fully tune to display 16.8 million RGB colors. Better yet you can sync the RGB effects using Razer Chroma and Amazon Alexa.

6. DXRacer GD/1000/N Series Gaming Desk

DXRacer doesn't just make the best gaming chairs, the company has also gotten into gaming desks. The DXRacer GD/1000/N Series Gaming Desk looks like it should be on the stage of a big Esports competition, and so it's no coincidence that it has been designed with pro gaming in mind.

The tabletop slopes at a slight 10-degree angle to give your arms a more ergonomic angle to rest against. Additionally, the table is extra deep for users to support the user's entire forearm, meanwhile, the bottom edge of the table is also padded as a soft surface for the user's elbows.

7. Arozzi Arena

The Arozzi Arena computer desk is designed for folks who are rocking multiple monitors, giving you plenty of space to run two or three panels—and that includes ultrawide curved gaming monitors too. It's also 31-inches deep, so you'll have room to bring the keyboard to where your fingers are while leaving plenty of room for the monitors too. The Arena computer desk even includes a mouse pad surface, so you'll never run out of space for your mouse either, and it's waterproof.

This sucker is a little on the expensive side, but it's the type of computer desk you can buy and never have to upgrade ever again. It's even available with different color legs, including red (shown above), green, black, and of course, all-black.
