Pegboard Gaming Setup: Mount Your Gear Without Drilling Into the Wall

Stop leaving your gear on the desk. Controllers, headset, your handheld — a pegboard wall gives every piece its own spot, and it goes up in just minutes.

A pegboard gaming setup uses a wall-mounted pegboard panel as a flexible mounting surface for gaming gear — controllers, headsets, handheld consoles, and accessories. Instead of drilling a new hole for every mount, the pegboard goes up once and gear repositions freely across the board. It has become one of the most popular ways to organize a gaming desk, especially in small rooms, apartments, and dorms where desk space is limited and walls do the work.

Which HIDEit mounts work with pegboards? There's no pegboard-specific product, and that's the point: many HIDEit mounts work with pegboards. The mounts you'll see most often on pegboard setups — including the ones in the video above — are controller mounts, headset mounts, and handheld mounts. Same steel, same precision fit, mounted to the board instead of the wall.

Controller mounts — every controller gets its own spot, grab-and-go.

Headset mounts — Off the desk, onto the wall

Handheld mounts — the handheld comes off the desk, within reach, ready to grab and go — fits a variety of handheld consoles.

Why the wall beats the desk: Gear piled on the desk is the pain point. Controller up. Headset up. Desk clear. Everything within reach when you sit down, off the surface when you're done.

Renter-friendly angle: One board, no new holes per mount. Mounts install to the board's existing holes, so you add, remove, and rearrange gear without touching the wall again — ideal for apartments, dorms, and rental walls.

Yes, many HIDEit mounts work with pegboard systems. The same steel mounts that install on a wall can mount to a pegboard panel, so controllers, headsets, and handhelds hang cleanly and reposition without new holes. Controller mounts, headset mounts, and handheld mounts are the ones most commonly used on pegboard setups, including the ones in the video above. Same steel, same precision fit, mounted to the board instead of the wall. Thumbscrews make pegboard installs quick — no tools needed to reposition gear once the mount is in place
Yes. HIDEit handheld mounts fit a variety of handheld consoles, including the Nintendo Switch — the console comes off the desk entirely, mounted, within reach, ready to grab and go.

A wall-mounted pegboard panel, HIDEit mounts for each piece of gear (controller, headset, handheld), and a few minutes. Optional: LED lighting to finish the wall. The board installs once; every mount after that repositions freely.
Use a pegboard as the single anchor point. The board goes up once; HIDEit mounts attach to the board, not the wall, so you can add, remove, and rearrange gear without new drilling. Most setups are up in just minutes.
