Upgrading to a monitor arm is one of the most impactful changes you can make to transform a standard desk into a professional-grade battlestation.

• Eliminate Gaming Fatigue: Factory monitor stands often force you into a hunched posture, leading to neck and back strain during marathon sessions. A monitor arm allows you to dial in the exact height, tilt, and swivel for your eye level, keeping you comfortable and focused during long grinds or endurance races.
• Maximize Desk Space: The bulky stock bases of gaming monitors take up massive amounts of valuable desk real estate. Elevating your screen instantly frees up room for extra-large mousepads, HOTAS flight sticks, sim racing wheels, or stream control decks.
• Adapt to Your Playstyle: A monitor arm gives you dynamic control over your field of view. You can pull the screen right up to your face for pinpoint precision in competitive FPS games, push it back for relaxed controller gaming, or perfectly align a multi-monitor array to wrap around your peripheral vision for ultimate sim racing immersion.

Press and hold the button for two seconds to turn the lights on or off. A quick press will cycle through the different lighting modes. The system features a memory function and will automatically store your lasThe ideal choice depends entirely on your specific gaming style and desk ecosystem:

Single Monitor Arms: Perfect for competitive esports players who need to bring a single, high-refresh-rate display closer to their face for maximum focus. It is also the go-to choice if you are running one massive ultrawide curved monitor for a seamless, bezel-free experience.

Dual Monitor Arms: The ultimate setup for streamers and content creators. A dual arm allows you to keep your primary game front-and-center on a landscape screen, while positioning a second screen (often rotated to vertical/portrait mode) off to the side dedicated exclusively to OBS, Discord, or reading Twitch chat.

Three or More (Multi-Monitor Arms): Essential for hardcore immersive gaming, particularly in sim racing or flight simulation setups (like Microsoft Flight Simulator). A heavy-duty multi-arm system allows you to perfectly align three screens to wrap around your peripheral vision, or utilize pole-mounted setups to stack screens vertically for overhead instrument panels and telemetry data.t used lighting setting.

In most cases, yes. Monitor arms are designed to be highly adaptable, but before upgrading your battlestation, you should verify your desk's material, edge clearance, and thickness:

• Installation Methods: The two universal mounting standards are the C-Clamp (which attaches directly to the edge of the desk without drilling) and the Grommet Mount (which bolts securely through a pre-existing cable routing hole).
• Edge Clearance: If you plan to use a C-Clamp, ensure your desk has a flat edge underneath. Deep metal support frames or modesty panels near the edge might block the clamp from sliding in fully.
• Desk Material: Solid wood, bamboo, and high-density MDF are ideal. However, if your gaming desk features a glass tabletop or a thin/hollow-core structure, you can still use a monitor arm—but you must add a steel reinforcement bracket plate to distribute the clamping force and prevent damage.

(Note: To ensure maximum compatibility with almost any setup, all Areswing monitor arms include both C-Clamp and Grommet mounting kits right in the box.)

VESA (Video Electronics Standards Association) is the standard mounting interface used by almost all monitor manufacturers. It ensures that the mounting holes on the back of your monitor will align perfectly with the bracket on the monitor arm.

• How to check: Look at the back of your monitor for four threaded screw holes arranged in a square. Measure the distance between them in millimeters.
• Standard Sizes: Most modern monitors use a 75x75mm or 100x100mm VESA pattern, which all Areswing monitor arms support universally.
• Large Format Needs: If you are mounting a massive display or a specialized TV that requires larger VESA dimensions (such as 100x200mm, 200x100mm, or 200x200mm), our heavy-duty GDT1012UCP-2BK model is specifically designed to accommodate these larger footprints.

Areswing monitor arms provide a full range of motion, featuring independent tilt, swivel, rotation, and depth extension.

• Competitive FPS: Pull the screen close for pinpoint precision.
• Casual Gaming: Push it back to clear your desk space.
• Streaming/Chat: Instantly rotate your secondary display into portrait mode. (Tip: Always leave enough cable slack to allow for full rotation).

Need help fine-tuning the resistance?
The tension adjustment process depends on your arm's internal lifting mechanism. Please check the step-by-step video tutorials below to dial in the perfect balance for your monitor's weight:

If you’re unable to move the monitor arm smoothly, it is likely due to over-tightened components during setup. Please check the following:

• Arm Tension: Adjust the tension screw at the main joint to match your monitor's weight. DO NOT overtighten the tension screw, or the monitor arm may not move at all.
• Screen Tilt/Swivel: If the monitor itself is hard to tilt or rotate, check the joint directly behind the screen. DO NOT overtighten the screws behind the VESA plate, or you won't be able to adjust your screen's angle.

To start sim racing, you need three main components: a gaming platform (PC or console), racing peripherals (a steering wheel and pedals), and a secure mounting solution. A dedicated sim rig or foldable stand is essential to hold your equipment firmly in place and replicate a realistic driving posture.

Space requirements vary. A full simulator cockpit with a dedicated seat requires an area of about 5 to 6 feet long. If you have limited space, a foldable racing wheel stand is the perfect solution. They can be folded up with the steering wheel and pedals still attached, making them easy to store in a closet or a corner.

Yes. Areswing sim racing stands feature pre-drilled mounting plates engineered for broad compatibility with major industry ecosystems.

• Logitech: G25, G27, G29, G920, and G PRO.
• Thrustmaster & Fanatec: Fully supports most industry-leading wheelbases and pedal sets.
• Other / Future Models: We continuously update our hardware to support new releases. If your specific gear or model number is not listed, please contact our support team (customersupport@areswing.com) to verify fitment.

When fully assembled and extended to its maximum capacity, the distance for the seat mounting slots is 1013mm. For a more detailed visual breakdown of all measurements, please refer to the dimensional line drawing provided in our product images.

Unfortunately, it is not compatible. This racing stand is engineered for entry to mid-level force feedback setups. The steering wheel mount has a maximum torque limit of 6 N·m, and the pedal plate supports a maximum pressure of 6 bar. Using an 11 N·m wheelbase would exceed the structural limits of this product.

Not at all. The areswing stand features an upgraded, roomier frame design. Because the wheel deck, pedal plate, and side-mounted shifter are all independently adjustable, you get plenty of clearance for smooth shifting and footwork without any interference.

Yes, our clamp-on pegboards and desk shelves are designed to fit most standard desks. They feature an adjustable, tool-free C-clamp for quick and secure installation.

To ensure a perfect fit, please quickly check your setup for the following:

• Desk Thickness: The clamps accommodate a wide range of standard desktops. (Please refer to the dimension guide on the specific product page for the exact maximum thickness supported).
• Under-Desk Clearance: You will need a flat, unobstructed edge underneath your desk. Be mindful of metal support frames, modesty panels, or cable trays near the edge, as these might prevent the clamp from sliding in fully.
• Desk Edge Shape: The clamp mounts securely on flat or lightly beveled edges. Heavily sloped or curved edges may reduce stability.

Not at all. The mounting clamps are equipped with built-in anti-scratch silicone pads on the contact points. This design safely protects your desktop from marks and scuffs while providing extra friction to keep the pegboard completely stable without wobbling.

Built for durability, the pegboard can safely support between 33 lbs and 44 lbs, depending on the specific model you select. It is perfect for organizing everyday essentials like headphones, gaming controllers, cables, and stationery. For maximum stability, we recommend distributing the weight evenly across the board rather than hanging heavy objects on a single hook.

The Microphone boom arm supports microphones weighing between 3.3 lbs to 4.4 lbs. This makes it fully compatible with most standard and heavy-duty broadcasting microphones, ensuring stable support without sagging.

Don't worry! The package includes standard 3/8" to 5/8" thread adapters. Simply find the adapter that fits your microphone or shock mount, screw it onto the silver tip of the boom arm, and then attach your microphone.

If the arm is sinking under the weight of your microphone or is too stiff to move smoothly, simply locate the tension screws at the joints. Use the included Allen key to turn the screws—tighten them to hold heavier mics in place, or loosen them slightly for easier, one-handed adjustments.

You can use them individually, but they work best as a complete system. The Tray hides bulky power strips, the Spine neatly routes cables to the floor, and the Tower Stand keeps your PC elevated. Together, they create a perfectly clean workspace.

Yes, they are designed for universal compatibility. The Tray and Spine work with most standard desk thicknesses, while the Computer Tower Stand features an adjustable width and length to accommodate almost any PC chassis size. Just be sure to check your desk's material (glass vs. wood) to choose the right mounting style!

We recommend a top-down approach for the easiest setup:

1. Mount the Tray to secure your power strips.
2. Attach the Spine to route cords downward.
3. Set up the Tower Stand and place your PC.

It depends on your preference! We offer clamp-on models for a damage-free, no-drill installation, as well as screw-in options for maximum stability. The Tower Stand assembles in minutes without any tools.

Absolutely. The Spine's modular design safely expands and bends as your desk changes height. Meanwhile, the Tray keeps heavy adapters secured so they won't pull or snag when the desk is raised.

Elevating your PC improves airflow and reduces dust buildup, helping your system run cooler and last longer. Plus, the built-in wheels make it effortless to roll your PC out for cleaning or accessing rear ports.
