Laid back gaming desks

What's up guys, I am in the market for a new desk for my new build that I am freakin' pumped for, can post list if interested, will probably *at least* share pics, when done, on my social media profiles, if not so far as reaching out to here or reddit, but maybe, but I'll want to vacuum first before I show off that much XD

 

Anyways, I could really use a new desk, and wasn't sure which subforum would be most appropriate to ask this, so if I need redirecting, please do show me the way.

 

That said, I am very much a recliner. I have a huge, weighty office chair that is practically an armchair in comfort, only office in appearance and function, and I sit most of my LIFE in it in the reclined position. Say what you will about posture, but AFAIK I think it's not BAD, or perhaps even BETTER, to recline, than remain totally upright. I shift my weight from side to side throughout the day, as well as spending some periods in a more conventional upright position, particularly when M/KB gaming or working on some kind of, typing or editing thing. But my default state is laid back with legs resting up on whatever happens to be nearby.

 

So my question is, do any of you know of a desk (or desk+addon?) that features an adjustable flat panel. for the mouse and keyboard to basically be at inches-above-lap-level, and preferably also with some tiltability such that it is also always parallel; no matter which position I am sat, with enough stability that it doesn't wobble about once positioned correctly, and enough durability that it can handle multiple readjustments daily for a long long time.

 

The closest I can find are the desk types that have those little sliding out keyboard trays, but they never seem to have enough (if any) space for a mouse, so you are left reaching high and almost total outstretch to use the mouse and that is AWFUL. The desk also needs to be wide enough to handle one 31.5" 16:9 panel, and one 25"... holy sh*t (im assuming swears are allowed here since it ain't youtube?), I just realised an oversight... but one 25" ultrawide WTF I accidentally a HUGE main panel, WELP, that's gonna be my life! good thing it's high res and refresh rate, and I'm finally getting the horsepower to drive such a thing! Again, specs if desired, but up until now I've JUST gotten by (until it died, after 10 years service, this past December) on 1440x900 and sometimes managing around to 50-60fps often on medium settings; so this is a HUGE leap for me and I have no idea how long that will take to sink in, anyway, I just needed to let that out, before I exploded...

 

Buuut yes, so thats my very specific requirement re. new desk. Also bonus points for headset stand, place to mount an adjustable mic rig, leg room for some kind of cushy leg/footrest (also any recommendations on said leg/footrest? Included with desk or otherwise)... and... a cup holder (sounds dumb maybe? But I saw some more standard desks on Amazon that had them and now that's a new box to try and tick for my dream setup)... and just like, a good, durable surface that can hold up to some daily abuse. Like, not rough abuse, but I literally live at my desk so it should accommodate eating off it and general human skin grossness; so clean easily, scratch resistant, that kind of thing...

 

I think that's about as much info as I can think of right now, please do let me know if I need to repost this elsewhere, otherwise, I look forward to any information, especially if you have such a specific use-case setup as the one I describe. Budget isn't really an issue, just, it needs to justify its cost, I don't want to be extorted just because I have a very specific idea of what I want in a desk. Amazon (UK, Prime shipping) is my preferred merchant, but any trusted UK store will be fine too.

 

TL;DR

Tilty Lazy Boy Desk™, where find?

 

Thanks in advance
