Why LeetDesk
The LeetDesk gaming desk in comparison.
In this article, we’ll look at all the facts so you can make the best decision for purchasing your gaming desk.
👉 MATERIAL
Material
The choice of material significantly influences the stability, robustness and design of a desk. Depending on the purpose and requirement, it is necessary to weigh what is best suited for one and what looks nicer.
Tabletop
MDF stands for medium density fiberboard. While wood chips are used for fiberboard or particleboard, finely shredded wood is used for MDF. This gives an MDF board a particularly high breaking and flexural strength.
Multi-part tabletops consist of two or three pieces that have to be stuck together to form the whole thing. While it does reduce shipping costs and speed of delivery (it fits into a normal sized package) it severely impedes the stability of the table and leaves seams.

Table surface
Black tabletops magically attract fingerprints and grease stains. With our “Ghost Touch” coating, these marks disappear as if by magic. This way your desk will always look immaculate and well-kept. Due to the higher material costs, this surface is optional.

An average desk is usually not even made of real wood. This makes it more prone to breaking faster (compared to real wooden desks). Of course, if you need a cheap desk that is plain and simply holds a monitor, then you’re in the right place. If you want a gaming desk that is very durable and has a high quality, then you should rather go for real wooden desks. Standard wooden desk tops usually have a thickness of 17 mm to 19 mm. The LeetDesk reinforces that by another 6 mm to be able to withstand any frustration blow with a total thickness of 25 mm.

👉 HEIGHT-ADJUSTABILITY
Height-adjustability
Height-adjustable desks allow you to adjust your table optimally to your sitting preferences. This is important if you value an ergonomic sitting position, if you don’t like the standard desk height of 72cm or if you like to alternate your sitting position or even stand up sometimes. Even among height-adjustable desks, there are differences that manifest themselves in the height to be adjusted, electronics, volume, etc.

Adjustability
Adjusting the desk height is a very important feature in order to find your ideal gaming position. Depending on the game, you have a different ideal desk height (and possibly chair height). If you don’t know your perfect desk height yet or want to learn more about it, read our article about finding your optimal desk height.
Usually, desks are set to a standard height of 72cm. However, this is too low for taller people and too high for smaller ones. The LeetDesk enables you to freely move the desk between 63cm – 128cm to fit every body height and preferences.
71cm – 121cm (stepless)
3 different heights
Elektronics
Bei höhenverstellbaren Tischen wird zwischen 2- und 3-segmentigen Beinen unterschieden. 3-segmentige Beine können sowohl höher als auch tiefer als 2-segmentige Beine fahren. Zudem bewegen sie sich schneller auf und ab.
When comparing height-adjustable – or “standing” – desks check for the number of the legs’ segments. 3 segments allow the desks to go lower and higher than those with just 2 segments. Also, the desk moves faster.
2 motors are quieter and faster than only 1 motor. In addition, with only one motor, a metal rod is used to connect the motor on one side to the leg on the other. On the one hand, this adds a disturbing element to the table’s leg space, and on the other hand, it makes the table more error-prone. If the rod is hit, it can bend.
1 Motor
Crank handle or similar
Collision detection
The height adjustability of a desk helps you sit “dynamically”, i.e. to change your sitting position more often, as you can always adjust the table to your liking. Doing a few sessions standing up every now and then is not wrong either. A good rule to follow is the 60-30-10 rule. This means that you optimally spend 60% of your “desk time” sitting, 30% standing, and 10% doing purposeful walking. However, even according to this rule, you should be sitting at your desk for more than half of the workday, so we’ve compiled the most important info on how to sit and perfectly game at your desk in order to prevent injury in our blog article.
The desk is not unprotected, but a load sensor only reacts under certain blockages.
None
Load capacity
Add 15kg to your PC, another 20kg to your 3 monitors and you still have 45kg of leeway.
The 80kg refers to how much the legs can raise and lower continuously in multiple cycles. Of course, several hundred kilos can easily be packed onto the desk without impressing the tabletop. However, as mentioned, the height adjustability can then no longer be used.

So that you always know your expensive hardware is safe, LeetDesk is protected in every direction with gyro sensors. No matter if up, down and even sideways.
With load sensors, the desk is not unprotected, but the sensor cannot detect interference implants from all directions.

👉 DESIGN
Design
Design is always a matter of taste and whether you like a desk also depends a lot on how the room looks like where it is placed. We prefer a minimalist design that can fit into any room. Wild ornaments and decorative elements can always be added later on and then just as easily removed if you no longer like it.

👉 PRICE
Preis
We’re just going to be honest, LeetDesk is not one of the cheapest options on the market. Nevertheless, we believe we can offer a good price-performance ratio with the smallest version – at least for those who are interested in an electrically height-adjustable gaming desk. However, even those who go for the high-end range – e.g. with a noble Ghost Touch surface and numerous add-ons – are still in a comparatively fair price range.
