Ikea is tapping into the gaming scene, with a range of products specifically for gamers that will be available locally on Nov 11.

The Swedish furniture giant announced that the range comprises five product families – Uppspel, Lanespelare, Matchspel, Utespelare, and Huvudspelare – that will include ergonomic gaming desks, chairs and accessories such as headset stands, mug holders, and mouse bungees.

Among the five Ikea product families, Uppspel products were designed in collaboration with Republic of Gamers (ROG). Back in September, the company announced it would be working with ROG to identify what’s needed for the best home gaming experience.

The Uppspel line includes a gaming desk with controller buttons to adjust height for playing in standing or sitting position. Users can also charge one device with a built-in USB port.

The range has three gaming chairs designed by Ikea, starting with the Huvudspelare which has built-in lumbar support (RM299), Utespelare with features such as adjustable tilt function (RM499) and Matchspel that lets users adjust the height of the chair, headrest and armrest (RM699).
