Office and gaming desks with cup holder

Cup holder

— an easy way to keep a mug, can, or shaker off the work surface and avoid the risk of spilling a drink on the keyboard and mouse. Most often, the cup holder is retractable and mounted under the edge of the tabletop on a bracket, less often it is built into a cutout on the tabletop itself; the former option wins in safety and space-saving, while the latter is convenient for quick access. A metal mesh "bowl" or durable plastic holds standard bottles and thermos cups, and some models have a slot for a handle and drainage holes for condensation. In practice, this is convenient for long gaming sessions, streams, and studying: coffee moves under the table, the surface is free for an XL mat, and hot drinks are further away from electronics.
