It’s already September, which means fall and Halloween are right around the corner. Here are some great desk accessories to get ready for spooky season.
1 Zombie Headset Stand
If you want to clear up some space on your desk, a Zombie Headset and Controller Stand is both functional and eye-catching. This combined stand is a great option for removing your headset and controller from your desk with one accessory, saving space for snacks, your mouse and keyboard, a drink, or anything else you might need regularly at your desk.
The hand looks a bit spooky, with part of a bone sticking out and a fingernail coming off, but it’s not overly grotesque. If your favorite games happen to feature zombies, it could work as a year-round desk decoration.
2 Jack Skellington Controller Holder
For a controller holder that’s not as spooky, a Jack Skellington Controller Holder and phone stand is another great option. It features Jack Skellington and his dog Zero, and you can place either your phone or controller into Jack’s hands. This holder even doubles as a Halloween and Christmas decoration because it’s from A Nightmare Before Christmas. Jack Skellington is great for families with kids, too.
3 Ouija Board Mouse Pad Set
Mousepads are another great addition to enhance your fall desk setup, and this Ouija Board Ergonomic Mouse Pad Set comes with a mousepad, keyboard rest, and coaster to cover all the areas where you need support on your desk. This set also has semi-adhesive backs to stay in place while you work or game and memory foam cushions to provide wrist support. Enhanced comfort while gaming or working is a great benefit of upgrading your mousepad.
4 LED Pumpkin, Bat, and Ghost Lights
While standing lights are more aesthetic than functional, this Halloween Neon Light Set of a bat, pumpkin, and ghost offers a fun way to light up your desk for Halloween. Each individual light is small enough to sit on your desk. These lights require three AAA batteries, so you don’t have to worry about annoying plugs messing up your cable management system. Because it’s a set of three lights, you could display one on your desk and other lights throughout your place, too.
5 Ghost Keycaps
You can also upgrade your keyboard to ring in Halloween. These Ghost-Themed PBT Mechanical Keyboard Keycaps are a mix of purple and black, with some spooky details on some of the special keys. For instance, there is a demon on the Enter key and ghosts on the Space and Shift keys. These keycaps are Cherry MX Compatible, so it’s important to make sure your existing keyboard is compatible with these new keycaps.
Here is a full explanation of what Cherry MX compatibility means when it comes to keyboards and keycaps if you’re only just delving into keycaps.
6 Skeleton Phone Stand
If you keep pens and pencils at your desk, you’ll want a Skeleton Pen and Phone Holder is another great addition to a spooky desk setup. Once again, this accessory doubles as functional and seasonal. It comes in a neutral dark gray color that is sure to match any desk setup. The bats, skeletons, and bones around the cup are essentials of Halloween.
7 Coffin Zen Garden
Finally, this Coffin Zen Garden can keep you occupied during downtime at your desk and provide a brief stint of mindfulness while you’re waiting to join a meeting or a match. It comes with a small rake, red sand, a shovel, and Halloween objects like bones and a tombstone.
