Corsair’s first standing desk is designed for gaming, streaming, and extra

Corsair’s Platform:6 is a modular standing desk that’s being focused at everybody from distant employees to content material creators and, naturally, PC avid gamers. It’ll be accessible to buy within the fourth quarter of this yr, however Corsair’s web site isn’t at present itemizing any costs for the desk or its many, many equipment.

With the Platform:6 resulting from be provided in a number of configurations which are customizable by way of an internet configurator, it’s just a little tough to work out what’s included as commonplace, and what’s accessible as a modular improve. However Corsair’s press launch means that the desk comes with twin monitor arms, a cable administration tray, and an in-desk storage cubby with built-in USB Sort-A and Sort-C charging ports. Most attention-grabbing is a modular rail system that’s constructed into the desk and which is designed to allow you to mount further desk equipment and keep away from having them muddle up your work floor.

Past that, there are a plethora of seemingly elective extras. The “Creator Version” of the desk is provided with motorized top adjustment that may bear in mind top presets of your selecting. There are additionally 30 x 70cm aspect extensions to make the six foot-wide desk even wider, in addition to elective hanging pegboards on your headphones, recreation controllers, and no matter else you may match on them.

It’s a set of options that seems tailor made to the wants of streamers specifically, whose desks are sometimes seen overflowing with streaming and gaming gear. The Platform:6 appears to transcend what’s provided by quite a lot of present gaming-branded desks, whose options sometimes embody cable administration, top adjustment, and possibly a built-in monitor arm.

My huge query, as one of many a number of Verge workers members to have purchased a Totally standing desk through the years, is whether or not Corsair goes to launch the Platform:6’s rail system as a standalone accent. I’ve no plans to purchase a brand new desk anytime quickly, however the considered mounting all my desk detritus to a easy crossbar may be very interesting. How about it Corsair?
