6 gaming desk organisation ideas for optimal performance

1. Choose storage with a signature move

Castors are like cheats that let you roll storage where you want and find what you need fast for minimal pausing. Drawers keep dust away and add a calm, clean feel. Shelves put your things out in the open, so you can just glance and grab.

2. Elevate choice with collectibles or essentials

Place minifigures, deluxe editions, DIY creations (a.k.a. your real-life loot) in display cabinets above and around your setup so they’re easy to adore, yet safely out of your way from sneak attacks. For items you want handy (air dusters, batteries) and/or definitely shown off (keycaps), use pegboards or open wall storage.

4. Control (-alt-delete) all cables and cords

Mess can add to stress and steal focus. Cable management is key. Flexible, reusable ties keep wires neatly sorted and bundled. Clips, holders, and boxes ensure cords stay in place; and out of sight, if you want. Trays attach onto desktops for easy access tidiness that doesn’t disturb.

5. Give your headset a home base

A headset is a valuable tool that keeps you immersed in the game, so treat it with care. Using a stand or hook can help safeguard a headset from damage and can extend its lifespan. Plus, when you know where your headset is, you can get to your game faster.

6. Keep drinks and snacks handy for a power-up

Infinite health? Not in real life. Make it effortless to stay hydrated and eat properly by storing refreshments nearby and reducing spill risks. Try a big coaster with high edges that can hold bowls, plates, and cups. Or move liquids off desktops using a clamp-on mug holder.
