Best gaming desk 2025

The Secretlab Magnus packs everything most people will want into a gaming desk, and it has the same high-quality construction as the company’s Titan Evo gaming chairs. Outside of solid construction, the key features here are the use of a metal desktop that allows for all sorts of magnetic accessories to be used with the desk, including its magnetic cables clips.

The desk also features a sophisticated integrated cable management system, with a flip up section at the back (that can be illuminated with a magnetic RGB strip) of the desk covering a large tray for cables. Power  can be sent to this section via an integrated poer cable that runs up inside the height adjustable leg, reducing external cable clutter. You can also fit a network cable extension that fits to the outside of the leg, for similarly tidy cable results.

The desk also comes with a full-desk magnetic cover that has a faux leather finish. This makes for a slightly cushioned surface that can be used as a mousepad. Meanwhile, other accessories include a monitor riser, monitor arm, under-desk PC holder, magnetic headset holder, and laptop mount.

All this is combined into a desk that looks great, is built like a tank and is rated to support an impressive 120kg using its remarkable smooth and quiet electronic height adjustment.

The main drawback to the Magnus Pro is its high price, with it starting at $849 (including Magpad desk mat). Nonetheless, it remains our top pick as it is the best gaming desk that money can buy and does offer reasonable value for the quality it provides.

Flexispot has firmly established itself as the go-to name in general purpose height adjustable gaming desks, with it offering a wide range of affordable yet capable desks. The E8 is its entry level option but still delivers excellent value with sleek design, solid build quality, and just enough features to get the basics done.

With smooth motorized movements, a huge horizontal and height range, and great build quality, the Flexispot E8 is a great solution for those looking to play games or work from home – in fact, it does both well. The high loading weight means you’ll be able to store your PC safely on the desk too.

Admittedly, adding some extra accessories can make the price rise, so it’s up to you whether they’ll add value to your setup. Nevertheless, this is an excellent addition to any home setup.

Sitting or standing in front of the Herman Miller Motia Gaming Desk provides a luxurious experience that few, if any, competitors can come close to. It both looks and feels the part of a premium worktop, with ergonomic expertise to boot, with 48cm of adjustable height. It even comes with a built-in collision sensor for extra piece of mind.

While its 12-year warranty should also ease any anxieties of spending $1,345, you are certainly paying a premium here for the Herman Miller branding. The Motia does, unfortunately, also have a few minor weaknesses, namely its limited monitor arm support and noticeable wobble when it’s set to its maximum height of 117cm.

Are you looking for a cheap desk for your gaming PC with one large monitor or two smaller ones? If so, this is going to be your best option. Visually it’s not the most stunning, and it’s only made of engineered wood, but honestly, it does a fine job and there’s not a lot that we can say against it.

In fact, we’re quite impressed by how sturdy this desk is. Considering its relatively simple construction, it can actually hold a fairly decent amount of weight. There are even little hooks on either end that you can  Of course, you don’t want to overfill it anyway, since it’s quite small, but it’s good to know that it can hold quite a lot.

A lot of standing desks are great for your back, but not so great for storage space. They’re designed to give you an elevating surface, and while they do that very well, they tend to lack the convenience of drawers that traditional desks usually have. Not so with the Corsair Platform:6 which has a really handy cubby for that very purpose.

On top of that, it’s a nice big desktop that you can fit lots of stuff on. The surface material is the kind that shows dirt and smudges quite easily, which is kind of annoying, but then again, a strict cleaning regimen should do a good job of keeping this issue at bay. The edges are a bit too sharp as well, but most of the time that’s not going to be a bother, so we feel a bit nitpicky bringing it up.

It’s an expensive standing desk, which we know will put some people off, but ultimately we think it’s a fantastic choice. It’s a well-made piece of hardware with loads of great cable management solutions and easy adjustments that let you get it just how you want it.

As the popularity of standing desks grow, the cost of entry level models similarly fall, and our favorite of the bunch is the Flexispot E2. Rather than opt for a one-size-fits-all approach, Flexispot instead offers a variety of worktop materials with the E2, as well as selling the frame by itself, all in the service of letting you build the ideal desk for your budget.

Naturally, as a cheaper option, niceties such as cable management are something of an afterthought. You’ll want to watch the price of the Flexispot E2 as well, as you customize it, as while it may start at $310, it can cost much more. You’re also only covered with a three-year warranty, compared to the longer periods offered by more expensive options.

Given its small form factor, at 100cm wide, the Lian Li DK-04F should easily fit into most spaces you’d want to put a gaming desk in. Better still, it’s both stealthy and small, giving you the option to house your gaming desk beneath its glass worktop.

To be clear, awesome as this feature is, building a PC in a unique form factor naturally comes with its own challenges, supported component heights aside. Thankfully, the difficulty of constructing the desk itself isn’t something you’ll need to consider, as Lian Li are kind enough to ship the DK-04F pre-assembled.
