The height-adjustable Omnidesk can be configured for either standing or sitting position and unclutters the desktop with cable trays, USB ports, monitor arms and mounted speakers. Basic setup starts from S$630.
One desk to rule them all – Omnidesk from Aftershock PC.
Homegrown Aftershock PC is best known for its highly customisable laptops and desktops, where users can choose individual components to meet their very specific needs.
The founders of Aftershock PC are now bringing the same formula to the table top with the launch of Omnidesk.
The Omnidesk is a motorised, height-adjustable desk, that is fully customisable for work and play.
Start with selecting the size and shape of your desk.
Then choose the finish: from solid bamboo wood, to spill-resistant laminate, or even a signature mouse-mat texture coating, which lets you use an optical mouse directly on its surface, without the need for a mousepad.
All desks are height-adjustable at the push of a button through a silent, built-in motor.
Save up to four preset heights to memory, so that you can easily set the desk to your preferred height for work, gaming, or Netflix-watching, without having to manually readjust it every time.
There are also many desktop management options to customise the workspace of your dreams.
