How to Upgrade Your Gaming Desk Before the Holidays

The holidays mean long gaming sessions, guests peeking at your setup, and maybe a few new gifts landing on the desk. It is the perfect moment to give your gaming desk a proper upgrade. In this guide we break the job into six simple steps, each with a 3D printed piece that makes the setup tidier and more personal.

Step 1: Give your controller a proper home

Astro Bot Controller Stand holding PS5 DualSense controller

A controller left on the desk collects dust and scratches. A themed stand keeps it safe and on display between sessions. The Astro Bot Controller Stand is a favorite for PS5 owners, and the PlayStation 5 Icons holder is a more minimal option.

Recommended: Astro Bot Controller Stand (from €24.90) or PlayStation 5 Icons Controller Holder (€20.00)

Step 2: Get the headset off the desk

Headsets draped over monitors are the classic desk clutter. A dedicated stand protects the headband and clears space instantly, and this Meowth doubles as a controller holder for the desk organizer treatment.

Step 3: Dress up the console dock

The dock is the visual center of a Switch setup, so make it part of the theme. A themed dock cover like the Super Mario Dock for Nintendo Switch 2 turns a plain plastic block into decor.
