5 Secretlab MAGNUS Pro
Those in the know have heard of the Secretlab MAGNUS Pro sit-stand metal desk and the ecosystem it is part of. It is a premium desk that can be used for gaming or productivity and allows height adjustments between 650mm and 1250mm. Since this is the Pro model, it comes with a fully integrated power supply column, so you essentially have just one cable running from the desk to the wall.
The ecosystem includes a bunch of accessories like monitor arms, a PC mount, a monitor riser, cable anchors, a laptop mount, and more. You can also easily customize the top with Secretlab’s growing range of MAGPAD designs with different textures.
Game Rant reviewed the Pure White version of the desk and found that it is one of the best sit-to-stand desks available and that it is an easy recommendation for anyone looking to upgrade or improve their setup. Check out the full review to find out more.
4 nerdytec Couchmaster Cycon3
If you have a PC hooked up to your TV for couch gaming, a couchmaster could be a great investment. The nerdytec Couchmaster Cycon3 is arguably the best you can get in this category as it checks all the right boxes, but the price may be hard to absorb for some. It is essentially a small desk that rests on two cushions on either side. It has a hidden USB hub to connect your peripherals and a single cable running from the couch to the computer.
The nerdytec Couchmaster Cycon3 also has RGB lighting and two easy-access USB ports on top. The rectangular cushions are soft and comfortable yet rigid enough to hold their shape, and there are pockets on either side. The desk is large enough to fit a full-size keyboard with ample space for the mouse.

2 BlueAnt Soundblade Soundbar
While a lot of users prefer headphones or traditional speakers for their setup, some find the form factor and functionality of a soundbar to be more up their alley. If you are one of those users, the BlueAnt Soundblade soundbar is the one for you. It has an elegant design that will compliment most desk setups but hides a powerful 120W speaker system inside. It allows for USB-C, analogue, and Bluetooth connectivity, and in our review, we found that the maximum volume was even higher than when connected to a PC over USB-C.
It is a 2.1-channel soundbar with two full-range dual voice coils and an 80 mm subwoofer. All this fits into a package that is just 23 inches in length and 2.1 inches thick, so even if you have a smaller desk, fitting the soundbar shouldn’t be a problem.
BlueAnt also provides a surprisingly useful remote that allows you to not only adjust the volume and input changes but also pause and advance music tracks. But there are a couple of cons as well, like no HDMI or optical inputs. Find out more in our complete review of the BlueAnt Soundblade soundbar.
1 HUANUO Single Monitor Mount
The best way of clearing things off your desk is to have the monitor on an arm or a mount. The arm clamps onto the desk and not only raises the monitor but allows for a lot of flexibility and ergonomic adjustments. The HUANUO Single Monitor Mount is a solid heavy-duty gas monitor arm that can take up to 32-inch monitors. More importantly, it can handle 19.8 lbs, which is the number you should be focusing on when looking at compatible monitors.
The HUANUO Single Monitor Mount is VESA 75×75 and 100×100 compatible and is made from aerospace-grade aluminum. In terms of adjustments, you can raise the monitor as high as 15 inches from the desk or have it extended 17.3 inches towards you, and everything in between, thanks to the gas spring cores.
The desk clamp can fit slim desks as well as thicker desks ranging between 0.59 inches and 3.54 inches. So, if you have a metal bar framing the bottom of the desk, the HUANUO monitor arm clamp should open wide enough.
