Workspace story
This setup keeps the useful parts of a gaming desk, including a good chair, fast monitor, and responsive input devices, while avoiding an overloaded visual style during the workday.
Why this setup works
Lighting notes
Keep RGB low and indirect. Use a monitor light for actual task lighting instead of relying on colored LEDs.
Cable management notes
Separate power, display, and peripheral cables into bundles so game accessories can be changed without rebuilding the desk.
