This New RGB Gaming Standing Desk is My Dream Remote Work Purchase

The GD160 ARGB uses dual motors to raise to 51.2 inches or lower to 25.6 inches, so you can use the desk while standing or, erm, sitting in a beanbag. Once you find the right height—which is displayed in centimeters on an LED panel, it can be saved using one of three memory buttons.

Another nifty feature is the desk’s anti-collision sensor, which prevents the desk from lowering onto an object underneath it. I could see this feature being useful for my own setup given how many review unit boxes I have stashed under my desk at any given time. It works both ways, too, so the desk will lower if it feels an object hitting the top surface before it reaches its intended height. You can even adjust the sensitivity of the anti-collision feature.

When it comes to durability, the GD160 ARGB can lift loads of up to 220 pounds and has a scratch-resistant aluminum finish. Below the table is a metal cable management tray that feeds all of your wires through one location. The desk also comes with an extra-large water-repellent gaming mousepad that spans about half of the desk’s width at 35.4 inches. Cooler Master also says you can fast charge your phone through this desk, though I’m not convinced of that claim considering the desk comes with a single USB 2.0 port.

With a length of 63 inches and a width of 29.5 inches, the GD160 ARGB is a rather large desk. It’s also expensive, and goes on sale today for $899.

If you prefer something more compact or want to save some cash, Cooler Master also revealed the $370 GD120 ARGB, a 47.2-inch-wide desk that drops the rear light bar. Also available is the $349 GD160 for those who want the larger size but don’t need the pricey RGB.
