This concept is so stupid to me.
Please tell me how the fuck this is a gaming desk. Is it the ugly colouring on the side?
inaureoledI'm sorry, can you point me to the information where it says this is a gaming chair?

Michael_Yes, I made a mistake. Why not try and justify the price-tag on this "gaming desk" which is obviously aimed towards naive, uninformed children?

Michael_Dude isn't wrong, this thing is objectively ugly and not nearly as functional as other desks. I'm not trying to be intentionally cruel or kick somebody while they're down (or their product is down), but you guys have sold what, like < 10 of these on Massdrop? You guys have been extremely successful taking advantage of this craze with racing chairs. I'd never buy one, but from what I heard you guys make better products than DX Racer, who just seems to release model after model with "exciting new features" and terrible build quality. I'd seriously suggest you suggest to your product development team that they start from scratch on another desk. I know developing product takes a long time and a lot of resources (hell, my company is involved in it even though we primarily deal with ecommerce and services), but look at what one of your competitors has done (Arozzi Arena) and really be objective with yourselves about the utility of your desk vs the utility of their desk. When the company I work for did the same exercise, we realized the first product we developed to compete in the highly competitive market we typically just sell products in was a piece of garbage. So we spent almost a year to develop a new product with some real differentiators (not marketing/selling points, but actual differentiators) and the result was a much better product.
Best of luck.
GaleForceAlthough i appreciate your guys feedback and truthfully your honest feedback. I have to disagree with you, I actually own one of these desks and use it almost every night. The main reason i love it, is I have an apartment so i am limited on space and this desk serves as a perfect functional working/gaming desk for my mini office. It's actually amazingly sturdy and when connected & you feel how quality even the carbon fiber board is on top. I guess it's a matter of opinion here but maybe if you tried the desk or saw one in person, you may change your mind. I know i had a couple desks in my house (the ones you mentioned above) before the AK desk and now i am not switching out of it & sold the other companies desk because it was simply to big and stuck out like a sore thumb not accomplishing that minimal furniture look.
inaureoledYour 100% entitled to your own opinion, however i don't agree with this statement and know many of my friends who purchased one and absolutely love it.

Michael_That's awesome that you like it, and to be fair I didn't even think of an apartment situation. Then again, given my priorities, I'd go with as large a desk as I could physically fit even if I lived in a studio. Glad you enjoy it. All I'm saying is I'd love to see some gamer furniture companies like yours develop furniture with some more mass-market appeal, at least to gamers/professionals like myself (like a lot of people on Massdrop, I'd like to consider myself a gamer but I'm lucky if I find a few hours a month to logon to Steam). It took me WEEKS to find the desk I ended up buying, and only then I found it because I happened to get lucky with the timing of when I was moving and when it was posted to Massdrop.

Michael_I forgot about this thread completely. I apologise for my unnecessary outrage.
inaureoled i appreciate your feedback and always read over everything im tagged in on MD. Thanks for coming back and saying that.
GaleForceYea it really works well within my living space. Totally understandable what you want to see however i really truthfully think if you saw this desk in person and used it, you may sing a different tune because even i was not convinced about it looking at pictures. Then i used it and i fell in love with it.
