What Can You Mount Under a Desk?

By HIDEit Mounts · September 9, 2026 · 3 min read

Desk space disappears fast once a console, a Mac Mini, or a controller dock claims real estate on top — less legroom, cable clutter, no clear surface left to actually work or game on. The fix isn't a bigger desk; it's moving the gear underneath the one you already have. HIDEit makes console-specific under-desk mounts for the PS5 and PS5 Pro, the Xbox Series S, and a dedicated Mac Mini M4 Mount. Each is a steel bracket that holds the device securely beneath the desk surface, with cables routed behind it so the desktop itself stays clear. Pick whichever device is eating your desk space — there's a mount built for it.

Mac Mini M4 — Free Up Every Inch of Desk Space

The Mac Mini M4 doesn't need any of your desk surface to run — it just needs power and a display connection, both of which reach fine from underneath. The HIDEit Mac Mini Mount holds the M4 (and M4 Pro) on a steel bracket fixed to the underside of the desk, moving the computer off the surface entirely: no footprint next to the monitor, no dust collecting around it, no visual clutter. Cables route behind the mount instead of trailing across the desktop. Install is screwdriver-only — mark the bracket position, mount it, slide the Mac Mini in — done in a few minutes, and the desk stays clear for as long as you need it that way.

PS5 / PS5 Pro — Same Reach, None of the Footprint

The PS5 is usually the single biggest thing taking up space on a gaming desk, and it doesn't have to sit on the desk at all. The HIDEit PS5 + PS5 Pro Wall Mount holds either console underneath the desk on a steel bracket, with full access preserved for controller pairing, disc swaps, and port access — nothing about day-to-day use changes, only where the console physically sits. Cables route behind the mount instead of across the desk. Covers both the PS5 Digital/Disc Edition and the PS5 Pro. Install takes just minutes: mark the holes, mount the bracket, slide the console in.

Xbox Series S — Under the Desk, Not on It

The HIDEit Xbox Series S Mount holds the console on a steel bracket fixed to the underside of the desk, with the same straightforward install used across the HIDEit under-desk line: mark the mounting holes, mount the bracket, slide the console in. No separate hardware to track down, no modifications to the console itself — just a spot underneath the desk instead of on top of it. Done in a few minutes.

One Device or Several

Pick whichever device is actually eating your desk space right now — a mount doesn't have to be a whole-desk overhaul. Mount the one thing crowding your setup today, and add a second mount later if another device starts taking over the surface again. There's no need to move everything under the desk at once to get the benefit.

Mark — mark the mounting holes on the underside of the desk.

Mount — mount the bracket.

Slide in — slide the device in. Done in just minutes.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is airflow a problem when a console is mounted under a desk?

HIDEit under-desk mounts are designed with airflow in mind, so a mounted device stays ventilated the way it would sitting on the desk.

What desk thickness or material does this work with?

The mount is designed for a standard desk thickness and installs into typical desk materials, including wood — the most common desk surface. If your desk has an unusual thickness or a harder material like metal or glass, check the product page for exact bracket specs before ordering.

Is this renter-friendly / does it require drilling?

Yes — install is renter-friendly because it mounts to the underside of your own desk, not the wall, so there's nothing to patch or explain to a landlord when you move. The bracket does attach with hardware (mark the holes, mount the bracket, slide the device in), so it's "no wall damage," not "no hardware at all."

What's the weight capacity?

The mount is built to hold the console securely with margin beyond its own weight, so normal use — cables, a controller resting on top, everyday handling — isn't a concern. For the exact rated capacity, check the specific product page.
