For an Artiss L-shape gaming desk, place monitors on the built-in riser, feed the recessed AC/USB strip from the nearest wall outlet, and keep video cables on a different rear path from mains. The corner footprint only stays tidy if every lead has a planned home. Confirm dimensions and inclusions on the live product page before you build the setup.
Start with the Artiss L-Shape Gaming Desk RGB LED Power Outlet 130 cm Black via Artiss Australia. Broader desk shopping: gaming desks with RGB and power.
Direct answer — what this desk gives you
The 130 cm L-shape listing specifies:
- Overall about 130 × 130 × 85 cm
- Full-length monitor stand
- RGB LED with remote or app control
- Recessed AC and USB power strip with a listed 2 m cord
- Cup holder and dual headphone hooks
- MDF top with metal frame; carbon-fibre textured surface on the listing
- Assembly required; one package
Use those features deliberately — RGB alone will not fix cable mess.
Monitor placement on the L
1. Put screens on the riser, not the full depth
The elevated multi-monitor stand frees keyboard depth and hides HDMI / DisplayPort behind the monitors. Centre the primary screen on the wing you face most; park a second display on the return wing if you need chat, maps or a stream.
2. Match cable standards to the GPU and panel
For dual monitors, decide HDMI vs DisplayPort before you buy adapters. See DisplayPort 1.4 vs HDMI and UGREEN / CHOETECH cable buying — match generations on the live cable pages, not from memory.
3. Keep vertical clearance for arms and lamps
If you add a monitor arm later, confirm clamp thickness and desk edge clearance on that arm’s page. Do not assume the riser and a clamp arm share the same mounting zone.
Cable routing that works in AU rentals
Many apartments have one double powerpoint behind the desk corner.
- Plug the desk’s recessed strip into that outlet using the listed 2 m cord — measure first so you are not short
- Run mains along one rear edge
- Run HDMI / DisplayPort / USB-C video along the other edge or behind the riser
- Hang headset leads on the dual hooks so they never reach the chair wheels
- Park the drink in the cup holder, not on the mousepad
Treat the recessed strip as convenience charging and peripherals. Plug high-draw towers into a properly rated wall circuit or UPS unless the product page states otherwise.
RGB without another wall-wart nest
- Set brightness so edge light does not wash out a matte monitor
- Mount the remote where you can reach it without dragging hubs across the mousepad
- Avoid sticking extra LED strips that need another adaptor if the built-in lighting already covers the front edge
- Use soft evening modes for study; save chase modes for play sessions
L-shape vs straight RGB desks
| Need | Lean toward | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Corner room, dual monitors | L-shape 130 × 130 cm | Depth on both wings; riser + outlets |
| Narrow wall, single monitor | 120 cm or 140 cm straight RGB | Simpler footprint |
| Cable pass-through without L | LED gaming desk with cable hole | Open that page for current specs |
Also compare under-desk PC mounts such as the Tooleroo under-desk CPU holder or Activiva RGB PC mount if the tower should leave the floor — confirm load and clamp notes on each page.
Setup day checklist
- Tape the 130 × 130 cm corner including chair roll-back
- Confirm the wall outlet reaches the 2 m strip cord
- Label video cables before they disappear behind the riser
- Level the frame on uneven rental floors
- Test RGB and USB ports before dressing the cable race
Who the L-shape gaming desk suits
PC gamers and hybrid workers who need a corner command centre with monitor riser space, RGB accents and a recessed AC/USB strip — especially in Australian rentals where wall outlets are sparse.
Heat and PC placement
Keep tower intakes clear of carpet fluff and desk modesty panels. If you mount a PC under the desk, confirm clamp range and load on a holder such as the Tooleroo under-desk mount (width 70–203 mm, height 300–525 mm, up to 10 kg on that listing) rather than balancing a heavy case on a shelf that was meant for books.
Rental cable discipline
Use the desk’s 2 m power cord path to the nearest GPO; do not daisy-chain double adaptors behind the L. Separate mains from DisplayPort/HDMI where the listing’s rear routing allows, and leave service loops so you can pull the desk out for vacuuming.
FAQ
Can two monitors sit on the Artiss L-shape riser?
The listing describes an elevated multi-monitor stand. Confirm your monitor widths against the riser length on the product page and leave side clearance for speakers if needed.
Do I still need a powerboard?
Often the recessed AC/USB strip covers chargers and lamps. Add a surge-protected board only if you outgrow the ports — never cover boards with rugs in humid coastal rooms.
Where should the PC tower go?
On the less-used wing, on the floor with short cable runs, or on a verified under-desk mount. Keep intake vents clear.
Is RGB only for gaming?
No — soft edge lighting works for evening study. Use brightness control so it does not dominate the screen.
Where do I shop?
Artiss Australia and the L-shape product page above.
How big is the Artiss L-shape gaming desk?
The cited listing notes about 130 × 130 × 85 cm overall — confirm on the live page before planning the corner.
Do I need a separate RGB power brick?
Use the desk’s integrated RGB/power features as listed; avoid stacking extra wall-warts on the same overloaded powerboard.
