Nanoleaf Pegboard review: declutters desk, charges devices and colours your life
Nanoleaf's range of lights include decorative wall panels and bulbs along with the likes of the stunning Umbra Cup Smart Lamp that I previously reviewed.
The firm's new Pegboard Desk Dock is a clever three-in-one device that offers personalised lighting effects, handy storage hooks for keeping your desk organised along with useful charging ports. It's pitched as a customisable lamp accessory for gaming desks.
It works with both Mac and Windows computers and is compatible with the Nanoleaf Desktop app.

One side of the unit is a pegboard that provides somewhere to hang accessories like headsets and gaming console controllers, not to mention your smartphone. You need to assemble this side yourself but it only takes a few minutes.
The opposite side houses 64 colour LEDs with screen-mirroring support for those moments when you just want a decent ambient lighting show.
Pegboard Desk Dock is a robustly made device that doesn't take up much room on my desk. The base is only 107mm x 107mm x 18mm in size, while the pegboard is 23mm x 91mm x 274mm.
It helps keep my desk clutter free when I am working while enabling me to have some accessories within easy reach whenever I need to use them. Both sides of the Nanoleaf Pegboard Desk Dock (Image: Nanoleaf)
And when I'm not working I can rotate the Pegboard Desk Dock to the LED lighting side for immersive visuals to brighten up the room. You can easily flip between the two modes thanks to its rotating mechanism.
You can have full control over the colours and the lighting if you wish, or you can use handy presets such as Lava Lamp or Waterfall. If you are listening to music, you can sync the lighting show to the beat easily. It all works smoothly.
I'm always in need of more charging ports when I'm working and I love that this clever device includes one USB-A and two USB-C ports along with a USB-C Power Delivery input port. Charging is capped at 15W but that's acceptable for such a versatile device. Nanoleaf Pegboard Desk Dock verdict
Overall, I'm super pleased with this fun Nanoleaf accessory which has brightened up my working environment and proved a great addition to my desktop set-up. Nanoleaf pricing and availability
