🏙️🌆 Venom Multi-Colour LED Light-up XBOX Series X Console Stand 🏙️🌆 @VenomGamingUK

As awesome as the Xbox Series X is, the focus on practicality means that its monolithic presence in your room is somewhat understated…until now.

A perfectly fitting stand specifically designed for the XSX, this Venom accessory illuminates your Xbox in a classy way. The design means that no access is blocked to any ports on the system and it locks the console in place, sturdily.

USB-powered, you can plug the stand into the console without losing a port as the stand also has two outputs onboard (USB 2.0 & USB Type-C) at the rear.

The LED lights themselves run across all four sides of the stand and shine upwards, making your system look like a New York building at night, very cool.

There’s a separate power button, meaning that you don’t need to unplug the stand in order to turn the lights off and two other buttons give you control over the brightness and whether you want to have the stand slowly scroll through the seven colours (my personal preference) or settle on a particular one.

I was surprised by how much character and style the stand offered in my setup. I’ve always had my XSX on its side for space reasons – but, rearranging things to try out this stand was clearly a good move as it now acts as a centrepiece in the entertainment unit in our living room. Plus, as it works when the console is in standby mode – as a bonus, it creates great mood lighting in the room, so I pretty much leave it on all the time. Good.

Although I’d recommend this as a purchase to give your home XSX set up some character, it also strikes me as a great gift for a gamer in your family. It’s tough to sometimes choose controllers, headsets etc. as gifts, especially if you aren’t familiar with the technology yourself or your nephew/child/friend/whoever may have specific tastes or preferences.

As this stand is a mostly visual accessory, however, it universally looks cool and so is a much more general gift (although, if someone does keep their console on the side and has no area to stand it upright, that’s a dealbreaker as the unit only comfortably works when in a vertical position).

A very minor point is that the – very subtle - buttons to control the brightness, power and lights are on the rear of the stand and so you need to reach behind to alter them. Just thought it worth mentioning if you have a particularly cluttered setup.
