Things to Consider When Buying a Streaming Desk

When picking out your streaming desk, it’s essential to consider the critical factors for what you need. Things like “how many monitors do I have?” “How much is this going to weigh?” “How many cables will I use?” And things like that.

So let’s go over some of those critical factors.

Space Needed

First, let’s go over the size of the desk. Now, your first thought could be, “Oh, let’s just get the biggest desk possible so I can put all my stuff on it!”

But that’s not the whole story. Before buying the most enormous desk that you find on this list, do some planning.

Measure the spot in your room where you plan to use it. Consider how much space you’re willing to give up for that desk when measuring.

Will you be able to move around easily, or will you be squeezing around?

Also, consider what you’re going to put on the desk. Are you going to use a single 26-inch monitor setup and maybe a six-button Stream Deck? You won’t need a super big desk for that.

Planning on going dual monitors, attached mic, DSLR camera, and a bunch of knickknacks strewn about? Yeah, you’ll want to have as much real estate as possible.

Cable Management

This one will be an investment today that pays off in the long run. Managing your cables is like keeping your papers organized. It’s annoying, it feels like busywork, but it’s worth it.

Nobody likes digging through a rat’s nest of cables, and a built-in cable management system makes it all the easier to stay organized.

Or, if you want to do your own cable management addition to the desk, you might not consider that to be as big of a priority.

Or, maybe you just want all of your cables hanging out on display because you’re too lazy to do anything about it and don’t mind the knots they tie themselves into.

That’s fine too, I guess.

Shouldn’t my Desktop Be On My Desk?

They’re called a desktop, but how often are they really on the desk? Mine’s not. But that’s because my computer is nearly two feet tall and longer than my desk is wide.

If you’re running a full-size computer and you want to maximize your usable space, you might just keep the computer on the ground. If so, be prepared to get rid of dust regularly. Especially if you’ve got carpet.

However, let’s say you’ve gone with a Mini-ITX PC, and you’ve mounted your monitors. If so, you’ll be safe placing it on your desk. It’s all about what you need and what you’re willing to compromise if need be.

Top Finish

This might not seem like a super important topic, but it is. The material the top of your desk is made of will determine how everything else is set up.

Let’s say that you’ve got a desk that is made of a really soft composite wood: You’ll need to make sure any clamping you use for your monitor or microphone has some cushioning.

Otherwise, you’re going to dig into the desk and leave permanent damage.

Let’s also talk about full desk mousepads. Many desks will come with a full-size mouse pad for you to use. It’s comfortable, looks nice, and provides that cushioning mentioned earlier.

Keep It Clean

I can not stress how important it is to clean your mousepad. If you don’t, it’s going to get dingy, lose its color, and collect dust, dead skin, and whatever other stains you get on it.

Depending on the type of material your mouse pad is made of, you will have different ways you can or cannot clean it.

The Final Verdict

All of the desks we’ve presented today are fantastic in their own ways. And honestly, you can’t go wrong with any one of them so long as they meet your needs.

But if we were to recommend one desk in particular for streamers, it would be the Eureka L60 Gaming Desk.

WINNER

Eureka L60 Gaming Desk

I’m a sucker for an L-shaped desk, but this one is an excellent mix of a rectangular desk and L-shaped. With a sizeable 60-inch base, you’re already getting a large desk that can handle monitors, peripherals, and potentially your computer as well.

But the additional display section gives you that little bit extra in terms of space. Your stuff won’t be all crammed together, and you’ll get plenty of space to breathe with your streaming equipment.

The other key for me is how well-designed the cable management system is. Sometimes “cable management” just means a single hole for everything to go through and no actual means of keeping things organized.

But with multiple grommets and cable run sections, you’ll be able to keep your cords out of sight and organized.

While this isn’t the cheapest option, you won’t be breaking the bank by any means. If you want to get the best of both worlds in terms of price, design, and features, the Eureka L60 Gaming Desk is a great buy.
