Thermaltake Gaming Desk Pegboard (Medium) review

pcgamer.com:

Of all the various trinkets and doodads that find their way across my desk and into my loving arms, rarely is there one that tidies my workspace. But that's what this Thermaltake pegboard does, and it does so in a rather simple but stylish way.

Smart and sturdy: that's how I'd describe this pegboard. But that's if I were comparing pegboard to pegboard, in a world where gaming desk pegboards were commonplace. We don't live in such a world, however. In this one, the average person has nary even seen a desk pegboard in the wild, let alone owned one.

So, much better that we first clarify exactly what this thing does and whether it's better to have one (in general) than not have one (in general). Here goes.

It's a plate—a piece of your finest powder-coated steel—chock full of holes to fit various storage and organisation accessories. It's essentially a DIY-er's space-saving shelving unit. But one that looks a little trendy in this gamer space. We see big ones behind used on gaming desks such as the Corsair Platform: 6 and Decztop Bifrost Elite.

The Thermaltake pegboard is one that you can fit on your non-pegboardy desk to get in on some of that peggy action, letting you hook and balance all kinds of things hopefully not-so-precariously vertically up the side of your desk.

So, how's it stack up? Well, first things first, I've had no complaints at all about sturdiness and build quality. It's only staying stuck to my desk because of its clamping mechanism, but I've honestly pushed and shook it quite hard and it doesn't move an inch. The steel is plenty strong, too.

It's only really with the single-peg accessories (the hooks) that «flimsy» comes to mind, because without two fixed points it can, of course, turn a little. But that's just the nature of single-peg
