Herman Miller, a brand known for making nice furniture that will upset your bank account, just revealed a best gaming desk contender. It's called the Coyl, a name that's pretty apt, seeing as it coils its red underside cable to make it a statement piece. That aside, though, I could have easily mistaken this ultra-premium $1,475 surface for something by Secretlab or Flexispot, even though it has one other perk that could help justify its painful price point.
As someone who's tested more than a few gaming desks, I reckon the Herman Miller Coyl's secret weapon will be its "precision" rotary dial. It stands in for the usual touch panel for height adjustment, a control method I wouldn't exactly describe as precise. I mean, the capacitive buttons on the SecretLab Magnus Pro and FlexiSpot E7 Plus are fine, but I do usually feel quite awkward just holding my finger on the plastic until things are where I need them.
