Diving into PC gaming doesn’t take much – a laptop or desktop is usually the starting point. However, once you add keyboards, mice, and headsets, you need more space. The best way to create space is to have a dedicated gaming desk that will be the centerpiece of your battle station. Here are our tips for the best ones to buy.

The best gaming desks:
Eureka Gaming Colonel series
Our top pick from Eureka Gaming is one of the smaller 43-inch options. It’s the perfect gaming table when you want to display your collectibles thanks to a series of shelves at the top of the frame. You don’t even have to worry about a mouse pad as Eureka’s Colonel has a built-in full-length pad. As with all good gaming tables, there is an RGB strip on the front and you can store your favorite drink in the mounted cup holder.

Homall Gaming 55 inch desk
Homall’s gaming desk isn’t that fancy in terms of storage, but the 55-inch width is perfect for even the largest monitors. It has sturdy T-shaped legs so you don’t have to worry about knocking your setup over in the heat of battle. You can also store your headphones in the hanging hook and stay hydrated with the cup holder. When you need to store your controllers or your favorite games, Homall has a small bracket on top of the desk for easy storage.
AuAg Gaming Style Desk
This next option from AuAg is 47 inches wide and easily features the most unique Y-shaped leg design of the bundle. Like the others, the AuAg desk also has a large mouse pad and other important accessories such as a cup holder and a headphone hook. You can choose from six different RGB settings to match the rest of your battle station. However, there are no convenient storage compartments for your other accessories.

AmazonBasics desk
Let Amazon create a quality gaming desk that manages to beat the rest of the competition. Not only is this one of the cheapest options on the list, but it also offers plenty of room for accessories. You can store drinks, controllers, a keyboard, and more on the various wireframes. The AmazonBasics desk measures 51 inches in diameter and feels even bigger thanks to the raised laptop shelf.
Mr. IronStone L-shaped desk
If you prefer a multi-monitor setup or want to bring both PC and console games to your desk, consider investing in an L-shaped unit. This option from Mr. IronStone doesn’t have a lot of bells and whistles, but it offers an incredible amount of space. Each panel measures 51 inches in diameter and the two are connected by an 18-inch square. You can easily store everything you need, and you can put your laptop on the built-in shelf.

Eureka Captain series
Eureka is back on our list, but this time with the Captain Desk. Just like with real military leaderboards, the captain’s desk is inserted above the colonel with a diameter of 60 inches. You can stow two headphones on the built-in hooks. In addition, this animal can hold up to 200 pounds. While there is no RGB function, the 4 USB charging port is a nice touch, and the T-shaped legs should give your battle station a lot of security.
GreenForest L-shaped desk
If the Mr. IronStone L-shaped desk wasn’t for you, this option from GreenForest might be a worthy alternative. It’s smaller than the Mr. IronStone desk and measures 39 inches on the longest side. You need to get creative to store all of your gaming peripherals, but that added desktop space should be the space you need.
Eureka Gaming Z60 desk
The final gaming desk on our list is another option from Eureka Gaming. Eurekas Z60 is a monster of a desk, 60 inches wide and 24 inches deep. It has dynamic RGB lighting that you can adjust yourself, and the Z-shaped legs offer a lot of stability. You’ll have to buy your accessories separately, but the cable management system, included mouse pad, and armor system around the edges are a nice touch.
