Gaming desks with gamepad holder

Gamepad holder

— overhang bracket or mini-dock under the edge of the tabletop, which frees up the surface and protects the controller from falls and spills. Usually, the construction is metal with a soft pad, sometimes with two slots for a couple of gamepads and a channel for a charging cable. Compared to a tabletop stand, such a holder doesn't take up space under the mat and doesn't interfere with the mouse. Compared to sticky "universal" hooks, it benefits from a sturdy attachment and resistance to heavy models (Xbox/PlayStation/Switch Pro). From experience — quick access during a match, neat storage of two controllers in a family setup, charging from the table hub.
