6 gaming desk organisation ideas for optimal performance
Looking for ways to improve your gaming station? Consider this a list of order-creating perks you can add to your PC gaming setup for smoother, better gameplay. From storage with convenient castors to cable holders that tone down clutter and turn up neatness, these gaming desk organisation ideas are coming in clutch.
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 (even more so with trays). Shelves put your things out in the open, so you can just glance and grab.
2. Elevate choice collectibles or essentials
Place minifigures, deluxe editions, DIY creations (aka your real-life loot) in display cabinets above and around your setup so they’re easy to adore, yet safely out of the way from sneak attacks. For items you want handy (air dusters, batteries) and/or definitely shown off (keycaps), use pegboards or open wall storage.

3. Make room for leaderboard-status speed
Clear out obstacles and ready your gaming desktop for fast, full motion. An oversized mousepad provides proper traction, ample space for movement and steadiness for your keyboard. A stand or bracket puts your monitor(s) at eye level for better posture and frees up desk space.
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.
