Why Corsair’s Platform:6 Standing Desk is a Game Changer

Corsair Platform:6 modular standing desk

CORSAIR®, known for high-performance gaming peripherals and PC components, has introduced the CORSAIR Platform:6, a modular desk designed for gamers, creators, and professionals who want a more adaptable and ergonomic workspace.

Backed by decades of experience in desktop hardware and accessories, CORSAIR and its subsidiary Elgato designed the Platform:6 to reflect how people actually use modern workstations. The desk combines premium materials, extensive customization options, and practical features such as adjustable height, structured cable management, and modular accessories. The result is a workstation designed to evolve alongside its user.

The Platform:6 spans six feet in width and can be expanded further to support high-end gaming systems, streaming gear, and professional equipment. Users can choose from different configurations that include motorized height adjustment, multiple surface materials, and a flexible rail system. Desk configurations can be built through CORSAIR’s online configurator or selected from pre-built bundles.

At the core of the Platform:6 design is a modular rail system built around an aluminum T-channel structure. This system supports a wide range of accessories, including both CORSAIR components and third-party attachments. CORSAIR also encourages experimentation by supporting custom 3D-printed accessories, giving users freedom to tailor their setup beyond off-the-shelf parts.

For users who value ergonomics, select versions of the Platform:6 include dual electric motors for smooth height adjustment. The controller features an LCD display and memory presets for storing preferred positions. Surface options include dark walnut-stained rubberwood and durable black laminate, offering both visual and practical flexibility.

Practical details are integrated throughout the design. Included dual monitor arms support multi-display setups, while the CORSAIR RapidRoute cable management tray hides cables and power strips. An integrated storage cubby includes USB Type-A and USB Type-C charging ports, helping keep frequently used devices within reach without cluttering the desktop.

Expandability is the defining idea behind the Platform:6. Side extensions can be added to increase surface area, and optional hanging pegboards allow further organization. The Elgato Multi Frame, a top-mounted pegboard designed specifically for the Platform:6, adds more mounting flexibility for accessories. Adapters also allow Elgato Multi-Mount and Flex Arm products to integrate cleanly into the desk’s rail system.

The Platform:6 Creator Edition represents the flagship configuration, combining adjustable height with a rubberwood surface and full modular capability. With online customization and modular expansion at its core, the Platform:6 is positioned as a long-term workspace solution rather than a fixed piece of furniture.

Disable USB Flash Drive Pop Up Messages in Windows 10

Users can turn disable USB flash drive pop up messages in Windows 10 by performing a very simple step in Settings. While it may seem counterproductive to turn off USB notifications in Windows 10, once you’ve been using Windows for a while you will likely want to reduce the number of pop-up messages.

There are two ways to disable USB flash drive messages in Windows. Performing a RegEdit or modifing a Settings feature in the Windows GUI

Disable the USB flash drive pop up message via Windows Registry Edit

  • Open RegEdit by typing “regedit” in the Search bar
  • Navigate to: HOKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Miscrosoft\Shell\USB
  • Click the USB folder on the left of the screen to highlight the registry entries for \USB\
  • On the right side of screen select “NotifyOnUsbErrors” by clicking on it
  • Right click and select “Modify”
  • Set the value to “0” (zero). Zero is off, One is on

Disable USB message Windows 10, regedit

NOTE: Most users will receive a message saying they do not have privileges to modify the registry value. That is meant by design, and please see the comments at the end of this article for why.

Disable the USB flash drive pop up message via Settings

  • Type “settings” in the Seach bar of Windows
  • Select “Devices”
  • Select the USB tab near/at the bottom on left
  • Uncheck “Notify me if there are issues connecting USB devices

Disable USB message Windows 10, Settings

The second method via Settings is the preferred method because changing registry entries is not recommended unless the user is very experienced with computers. Windows 10 does a good job of not allowing users make registry changes that would crash their computer or brick the operating system, but the risk is still there.

If you received some sort of permissions message when attempting our regedit method, I would stay away from trying to resolve that security message. The reason Miscrosoft locks downt he registry in certain areas is to provide a more secure computer system for the user and reduce potential risk of malware or hackers getting control of your computer.

Over the years, numerous reports have come out about how hackers will expose certain USB protocols to insert malware or take control of a system. The registry is the main point of focus for hackers.

If you are persistent about changing the registry entries the first thing you can try is running RegEdit as Administrator. If that doesn’t resolve your issue then you may Google search for your specific error message and see if another website offers up a solution.
