Rapture Gaming Desk with RGB Backlighting Discounted by 40%. It hasn't been cheaper since December

First a monitor, then a mouse, keyboard, headphones, and finally a chair. A desk isn’t exactly the typical thing someone thinks about when upgrading their gaming corner. You can now buy a popular RGB model on Alza for a steal. The Rapture TEMPLE 200 gaming desk now costs 2,394 CZK with code ALZADNY40, making it 40% cheaper than its usual 3,990 CZK. It hasn’t been available at a lower price since December.

Quick summary:
✅ Makes sense if you’re setting up your first gaming or student corner with a single monitor and want a sturdy desk with RGB backlighting for under two and a half thousand.
⚠️ Consider that the height is fixed, every fingerprint is visible on the desk surface, and several owners report the desk bowing over time.
💡 For 2,394 CZK, you can buy the desk only with code ALZADNY40; without it, it remains at 3,990 CZK.

Code ALZADNY40 Slashes Price by 1,596 CZK

Rapture is Alza’s own gaming brand, and discounts on it are not uncommon, though they usually apply to mice and keyboards. This time, furniture is also included. The desk, which normally sells for 3,990 CZK, drops to 2,394 CZK with code ALZADNY40, saving you 1,596 CZK. You haven’t been able to buy it at this price on Alza since last December.

This is not an unproven novelty. The desk has already sold in over 500 units on Alza, so you’re definitely not buying it sight unseen. Alza also provides a three-year warranty with it. For me, that’s a nice assurance for a piece of furniture that’s supposed to last a few years under a monitor.

Enough Space for One Monitor, Tight for Two

The desk surface measures 120 × 60 cm and stands at a height of 75 cm. For one larger monitor, a keyboard, and a mouse with a decent pad, this is sufficient without compromise. However, anyone planning two monitors side-by-side will be cramped, and owners themselves advise opting for a longer desk in such a case. Furthermore, the height cannot be adjusted, so anyone significantly taller or shorter than average might find sitting at the desk less comfortable.

The construction is made of steel, and the manufacturer states a load capacity of up to 100 kg. The desk has no crossbars, leaving ample legroom under the surface, and thanks to adjustable feet, you can level it even on uneven floors. The surface is made of particleboard with rounded edges and a carbon fiber imitation finish, with pre-drilled holes for cables.

If you’re also looking for a monitor for your new desk, the LG UltraGear 27G610A-B recently went on sale, and it fits on a desk of this size with room to spare.

Remote-Controlled Backlighting and Headphone Hook

The RGB strip is located on the underside of the desk, so it doesn’t shine into your eyes but casts a colorful glow beneath the table. You can switch colors, brightness, and preset effects using the remote control included in the package. Power is supplied via a USB cable, and some owners complain about its length. If your computer or charger is further from the desk, plan on using an extension cord.

Practical small features include a headphone hook and a cup holder, which don’t take up space on the desk. The package also contains two sets of stickers for the desk legs. Those who don’t like gaming decorations can simply leave them in the box.

Owners Praise Sturdiness, Complain About Fingerprints

On Alza, the desk has a rating of 4.7 out of 5 from 122 reviews, and 90% of customers recommend it. Owners most praise its easy assembly, stability, backlighting, and price. Alza reports a complaint rate of 0.38%, which is a very low number.

Among the criticisms, one clearly stands out. While the manufacturer speaks of a textured surface, owners report that every fingerprint, greasy smudge, and speck of dust is visible on the desk surface. One customer solves this with a large mouse pad that covers most of the area. More seriously, there are mentions that the desk surface may bow in the middle over time, according to one owner, even just under a monitor. Another, however, counters that their desk, with a computer case and monitor, has remained flat even after half a year. Occasionally, there are reports of a non-functional backlighting controller or a piece damaged during transport.

Who is the TEMPLE 200 Not Suitable For?

If you work with two monitors or a wide setup, 120 centimeters will be insufficient. Similarly, if you alternate between sitting and standing, you won’t be able to change the height here, and it’s worth paying extra for a height-adjustable desk. And anyone planning to stack heavy equipment on the desk long-term should take the mentions of bowing seriously.

For 2,394 CZK, I’d Take It for a First Gaming Corner

The Rapture TEMPLE 200 is a simple and sturdy gaming desk with RGB backlighting for a single monitor. It’s especially suitable for a student’s or child’s room, or as a first gaming desk where an ordinary writing desk might otherwise end up. For 2,394 CZK with code ALZADNY40, you get a desk that, according to reviews, the vast majority of owners are satisfied with, and you save 1,596 CZK compared to the regular price.

Expect fingerprints, but a large mouse pad usually covers most of the desk for most gamers anyway. On the other hand, if you want a desk for years under two monitors and a heavy setup, look for a larger and more robust surface. But for a single monitor and casual gaming, at 2,394 CZK, this is a reasonable purchase I wouldn’t hesitate on for long.

Do you game at a gaming desk with backlighting, or is an ordinary writing desk enough for you?
