INTRODUCTION

   If you're into science fiction like I am then in all likelihood one of your favourite TV series is Star Trek and although I’m not old enough to have watched TOS (The Original Series) when aired some 50+ years ago I did watch the pilot of The Next Generation back in Christmas 1990 (that's when the series first aired in this country) and the rest as they say is history. Now I can't say that I was equally impressed with all the series and movies that came after TNG (for example I do like the special effects in the new Discovery series but the whole direction/air feels off) but for the most part Star Trek has always been special to me (unfortunately it's been many years since we last saw a good PC game based on it). Today’s review is directly linked to Star Trek since we'll be testing the very latest gaming desk by Arozzi and more specifically the Arena Leggero Star Trek Edition.

   Arozzi is a Swedish company founded in 2013. Arozzi gaming chairs are built in the spirit of Esports and feature ergonomic design with high levels of comfort. Our products have a refined aesthetic that draws inspiration from the world of motorsports. Each Arozzi chair can be finely adjusted to your needs to ensure you are in the best position achieve your next victory, whatever the game!

 The Arena Leggero is the smaller brother to the Arena Gaming Desk we reviewed a few years back and so basically it offers both a reduced total surface (0.82 vs 1.31 square meters) and a smaller load capacity (65kg vs 80Kg). The Arena Leggero Star Trek Edition consists of 2 medium-density 20mm thick fibreboard (MDF) pieces, 3mm thick and 1.5kg heavy full-surface water resistant mouse pad (machine washable microfiber anti-slip cloth surface), cloth mesh/net (used to hide cables routed beneath the desk), two steel bars, two steel legs and two long steel feet complete with 4 balance adjustment knobs. Once again, the entire steel frame is powder coated (they should last for many years) and as for the two MDF pieces each features one and one half cut-outs (which can either be used for cable management/routing or for monitor arms) at the front. Of course, the full-surface mouse pad used in the Star Trek Edition of the Arena Leggero has the United Federation of Planets communications badge printed on it along with a partial picture of a planet and a sun emerging from behind it.
