Must Haves For Console Gaming Desk

Great to have in your kit. You can use them in so many ways. Must haves.

Must haves for the upcoming April 8, 2024 full solar eclipse.

I bought this a while ago and it is still working perfectly. It has been great for my gaming console. Definitely recommend.

Very useful must haves. You'll need these at some point!

Wireless, ergonomic, connects to pc with wireless adapter. Great for gaming on console or pc.

This is a great way to keep your headphones out of the way but always close by. I’ve installed mine on the keyboard tray of my console desk and it’s great to keep the cable out of the way of the tray when I’m playing piano. Also added bonus that you can either use the included adhesive strip or screws for installation.

This yoke and throttle are supported by ALL recent civil aviation sims and is a breeze to set up. In combination with the Logitech rudder pedals it yields enough quasi-realistic control options to experience immersion and practice the sorts of movements which can translate to actual piloting. There are better and more expensive options available, but the Logitech controllers are all you really need, and the ability to expand your simulator with Logitech control and instrument panels utilizing the yoke's built-in hub makes it even more convenient. Because I've got the surface of my gaming desk adjust low, my legs sometimes hit the yoke clamp when I get up. To fix this situation, I applied a $15 microsuction pad to the bottom of the yoke console to secure it to the desk instead of using the clamp. The amount of attachment force produced by the pad keeps the yoke firmly in place during use, but also allows it to be simply peeled up and set aside when I need better placement of my keyboard, which I conveniently place on top of the wide, flat yoke console when flying.

This console is by far the best sub $5k console out currently. I own an M32, and take this SQ5 desk out 100% of the time unless a band specifically requested the M or X series. Completely future proof with its DSP power, plugin options, full 96k, all in a 19” rack is very impressive. It’s physical design borrows some things off Digico and it’s user interaction takes some notes from Avid’s S6L line (touch anything on the screen and it moves onto the rotary encoders). Very fast and fluid console with a great option card selection already available, and a great plugin package for those in need. Porter over from the flagship Dlive consoles, Allen & Heath really has a winner with this desk.

This is one of those must haves that will get very little use, but in a pinch....plus I can use it for jams on my lap steel.

For background on myself, I've always been a PC tinker and some mild PC gaming but most of my gaming happens on console. This is my first current gen card since the GT series, so far it has crushed everything I throw at it with no issues! Halo, Fortnite, WoW, WoT, Civ 6, VR, and FPV Flight sims all with no issues and locked at 60hz with my monitors. It's currently in a AMD system running a Ryzen 5 5600x, 16gb drr4 3000, and B550 chipset mobo pushing to a dual dell business class monitors.
