By far one of the best ways of clearing space from your desk is mounting your monitors. The base alone takes up way too much surface area, shrinking the available space you have for your keyboard, mouse, and even speakers. For that, we enlist the help of the Amazon Basics Monitor Stand. Don’t be fooled by the “basics'' in its name; the Amazon Basics Monitor Stand is anything but.

The monitor arm supports monitors as large as 32 inches and 25 pounds, so it’s surprisingly durable. Secondly, it’s VESA-compatible; most flat-panel monitors these days adhere to VESA standards (but do double-check). More importantly, is the Amazon Basics Monitor Stand’s range of range. The screen can tilt at a 70-degree angle upwards and five degrees forward, along with a height range of 13 inches and an outward maximum distance of 25 inches.

If you stream, you’ll also have full 360-degree rotation; it supports portrait and landscape. Arguably the best aspect of the Amazon Basics Monitor Stand is the style. You have a choice between a single monitor arm, dual, laptop stand, or wall-mounted styles.

Another part of the equation for expanding desk space is your choice of keyboards. Full-size keyboards simply won’t cut it; they require too much space and one too many buttons go unused. Unless you’re an accountant, or seriously need it, you can ditch the Numpad. And, you can get rid of the arrow keys, too. What you’re left with is the Razer Huntsman Mini.

The Razer Huntsman Mini provides all the keyboard you need in a 60 percent form factor, the perfect size for small desks. Now there’s plenty of room for your mouse, which definitely comes in handy for gaming. Of course, the Razer Huntsman Mini is a powerhouse. It has linear optical switches rather than mechanical ones. In a gaming setting, response time is essentially the speed of light. If you prefer analog optical switches or clicky optical switches, those choices are available, too.

Despite its size, the Razer Huntsman Mini isn’t short on functionality, either. To make up for the loss of keys, every key can be remapped. In fact, it supports complex key combinations to carry out unique functions.

How often have you found yourself underneath the desk looking for cables? The repeat offenders tend to be laptop and phone chargers. This can be avoided entirely with a few Shintop Cable Clips. They’re simple and effective: stick one to your desk, run a cable through it, and the cable will never fall behind your desk ever again. And there’s enough space to feed the cable through if you need just a little more.

What the Shintop Cable Clips do best is efficiency. Some cable clips have multiple slots on a single block, but you run the risk of some clips going unused. That’s valuable space being wasted. With the Shintop Cable Clips, one clip holds one cable. You’re only ever using as many as you need. Better still, the clips can go anywhere—even the walls if you wish to make an elaborate cable system.

Make a list of office supplies in your head. Pens, sticky notes, paperclips, tape dispenser—and that’s just naming a few. Any and all take up way too much space at the top of your desk. Why not store them away with the Stand Steady Original Desk Potato?

For one, the Stand Steady Original Desk Potato is designed with organization and functionality in mind. The tray is divided into multiple sections. Each area provides a special place for various office items, from pens to the phone that’s likely resting atop your desk right now.

The magic of the Stand Steady Original Desk Potato is where it’s placed. It clamps to the edge of the desk where it can swivel freely in and out from underneath your desk. The clamp is adjustable with a knob, too, to accommodate different edge thicknesses.

Speakers can pose a problem when you have limited desk space. Finding a decent pair of speakers is already a pain, made worse by the fact that larger speakers are almost always better in sound quality. With the Creative Pebble V2 Speakers, that’s no longer an issue. They strike a fine balance between size and sound quality.

For starters, the Creative Pebble V2 Speakers only measure 4.8 x 4.7 x 4.6 inches in size, so they aren’t asking for too much real estate. Even better if you mount your monitors. But why bother if the sound is poor, right? The Creative Pebble V2 Speakers are fitted with 2.25-inch full-range speaker drivers. It’s but a fraction of what subwoofers produce, but the bass is surprisingly solid for its size. In fact, the 45-degree angle helps project sound towards you to improve clarity.

The most underrated feature of the Creative Pebble V2 Speakers is compatibility. The speakers are fitted with three cables: USB-C, 3.5mm jack, and a USB-A adapter. There’s also a version with Bluetooth 5.0. Altogether, that means you could plug them into a desktop, phone, tablet, or laptop with ease.

If there’s one common problem among small desks, it’s the lack of places to store items. They’ll just cause too much clutter placed up top. A more effective alternative is the HUANUO Monitor Stand—especially when paired with a smaller keyboard.

Structurally sound and featuring two drawers, the HUANUO Monitor Stand lifts your monitor 4.7 inches up and withstands 33 pounds without bending. In addition to the correct posture, that places your monitor in the perfect position.

The HUANUO Monitor Stands provide two drawers, each offering a different approach to storage. The largest drawer is 15.8 inches in length and 11.8 inches in width, which is large enough to store papers, folders, and small booklets. The other drawer is the same dimensions but includes dividers for keeping office supplies neatly separated.

The last thing you want is a big, bulky pair of headphones taking up precious desk real estate. Sure, some desks have drawers, but what if that isn’t an option? Enter stage left: the EURPMASK Headphone Hook Holder. It solves those problems and more.

The EURPMASK Headphone Hook Holder is identical in function to headphone stands, minus the need to take space up top. Instead, the EURPMASK Headphone Hook Holder clamps to the edge of the desk without the need of drilling holes for screws. It works by using a spring clamp instead, which is also adjustable.

Most importantly, the EURPMASK Headphone Hook Holder can swivel, providing an easy way to hide your headphones underneath the desk. And don’t worry about cables; there’s a small clip for bundling the cords.
