Transform your workspace with Nanoleaf’s versatile pegboard dock that combines customizable RGB lighting and functional storage.
I’ve been remodeling/reorganizing/redesigning my office recently, and I got a little stumped when it came to my display shelves. There are lots of little trinkets I like to have out that show my personality and just highlight things I like, but I didn’t want it to feel cluttered. One of the things I’ve noticed that helps is well-placed lighting. One of my shelving units has light bars included, but I wanted the other shelf to feel different. This is when I decided to utilize the Nanoleaf Pegboards in my shelving design. Even though the intended use of these unique lighting fixtures is as a desktop dock, I really liked the lighting design they provide for this specific use case.

User Experience
I have several Nanoleaf lighting installations and the Pegboard is so different from the other ones I’ve installed. The pegboard comes in three main pieces. There is a lighting column that connects to the base and then the pegs that you insert into the main column. As I said, this is designed with the purpose of giving users a charging/storage dock for their gaming desk setups. The added bonus is having the backlit center column. In my use, I wanted to use them independently of a computer as decorative lighting.
They were very easy to install. The power cable is USB-C and even though Nanoleaf didn’t provide a power adapter, I was able to connect to power using an adapter I already had. The intention is for users to plug these pegboards into their computers so that you have control over the lighting effects. I did connect the pegboards to Razer Chroma using my MacBook Pro and though the lighting controls were smooth and easy to use.
I was surprised that this little lighted pegboard is not connected with the Nanoleaf mobile app in any way. You can connect and customize the pegboard using the Nanoleaf desktop app. By default, the lighting pattern is a rotating rainbow effect that is soothing and it fit right in with my shelving design.
The dock base has additional USB ports that can be used for charging other devices. While I don’t currently have anything connected to them, I do like having that as an option if I choose to store controllers or other chargeable accessories on them.
I love the lighting effect the Pegboards provide for my shelving unit. They definitely make my space feel more personalized and that dark corner of my office is no longer dark. Now they feel more like another knick-knack treasure that I want displayed rather than a utility light.
Conclusion
The Nanoleaf Pegboard Desk Dock brings together creativity, organization, and lighting in a unique package. While it’s marketed as a desktop accessory for gamers and creators, it also works beautifully in more decorative setups like shelving displays. The lighting options are vibrant and customizable, the build feels solid, and the extra USB ports add functionality. Even though the lack of mobile app integration is a drawback, the desktop app works smoothly for controlling effects. If you’re looking for a way to add personality, lighting, and flexibility to your space, the Pegboard Desk Dock is a worthwhile choice.
