Introduction:
Corsair has introduced its first standing desk designed for gaming, streaming, and various other purposes. This innovative platform, known as Platform:6, is set to be available for purchase towards the end of this year.
Platform:6 Design and Features:
Platform:6 is a modular standing desk designed for a wide range of users, from remote workers to content creators and even PC gamers. It is expected to be available for purchase in the fourth quarter of this year. While Corsair’s website currently doesn’t list prices for the desk itself or its various accessories, the desk comes equipped with features such as dual monitor arms, a cable management tray, and built-in USB Type-A and Type-C charging ports, along with an in-desk storage cubby. A notable feature is the modular rail system built into the desk, which is designed for attaching additional desk accessories and preventing clutter on your workspace.
Customization Options:
Due to the availability of several configurations presented through an online configurator, it can be a bit challenging to determine exactly what’s included as standard and what’s available as modular upgrades. However, from Corsair’s press release, it’s clear that the desk comes with dual monitor arms, a cable management tray, and a built-in USB Type-A and Type-C charging port. Additionally, there is a modular rail system within the desk for attaching extra desk accessories and keeping them organized on your workspace.
Additional Accessories:
Corsair also mentions that an adapter will be offered to accommodate the range of multi-mount accessories from Elgato for attaching cameras, lights, and microphones.
Target Audience and Comparison:
Platform:6 offers a set of features tailored especially to the needs of streamers, whose desks are often filled with streaming and gaming gear. It seems to outpace many existing gaming-branded desks, often featuring standard cable management, height adjustment, and possibly an integrated monitor arm.
Future Plans and Conclusion:
As for the question of whether Corsair plans to release the rail system of Platform:6 as a standalone accessory in the near future, there is no current plan to buy a new desk, but the idea of placing all my desk clutter onto a simple crossbar is very appealing. It would be interesting to know Corsair’s thoughts on this aspect.
