Numskull Gaming Accessory Locker Storage Review UK (2026). Tested

Here’s the thing about gaming setups: you can drop hundreds on a headset, keyboard, and mouse, then chuck them all in a pile on your desk like a barbarian. After eight years of reviewing gear, I’ve seen every storage solution from DIY banana stands to RGB-lit monstrosities that cost more than the headsets they hold. The Numskull Gaming Accessory Locker sits somewhere in the middle, a proper storage unit that promises to organise your entire gaming arsenal without requiring a second mortgage.

But does it actually work for real gaming setups, or is it just another bit of desk clutter? I’ve spent two weeks testing this locker with multiple headsets, controllers, and enough game cases to stock a small shop. Here’s what you actually need to know.

The Numskull locker sits in an interesting space. For similar money, you could grab a HyperX Cloud II Gaming Headset stand (just a stand, mind you), or a basic Ikea storage solution that wasn’t designed for gaming gear. What makes this locker worth considering is the all-in-one approach. Ten game slots, four controller hooks, headset storage, and a drawer for cables, all in one vertical unit.

Compared to buying separate organisers, you’re looking at genuine value. A decent headset stand alone costs £15-20. Add a game storage tower (another £15), controller hooks (£10), and you’re already past what this costs. The trade-off? Build quality isn’t premium. This is injection-moulded plastic, not CNC-machined aluminium. But for most gaming setups, that’s absolutely fine.

Here’s what actually fits inside after two weeks of testing:

• Game storage: Ten vertical slots that comfortably hold PS5, PS4, Xbox, and Switch cases. The slots are wide enough that you’re not forcing cases in, but snug enough they don’t rattle around
• Headset holder: A curved hook on top that works with most gaming headsets. I tested it with everything from a budget Turtle Beach Recon 70 to a chunky Razer BlackShark V2. All held securely without stretching the headband
• Controller hooks: Four side-mounted hooks that work brilliantly with DualSense and Xbox controllers. Switch Pro Controllers hang fine too, though they stick out a bit more
• Bottom drawer: A pull-out drawer that’s deeper than expected. Fits charging cables, spare batteries, a microfibre cloth, and my controller charging dock with room to spare

The headset holder deserves special mention. It’s a simple curved hook, but the curve is actually well-designed. It supports the headband without creating pressure points that might damage padding over time. I’ve left a Corsair HS55 Wireless on there for a week straight with no deformation to the headband.

One quirk: the drawer doesn’t have a stop mechanism. Pull it too far and it comes completely out. Not a dealbreaker, but you’ll do it once, swear, then remember to be gentler. The drawer itself is surprisingly deep, about 4cm, which is enough for most gaming accessories.

But here’s what the marketing doesn’t tell you: if you’ve got special editions with thicker cases or steelbooks, you might struggle. Standard cases? No problem. That limited edition of Elden Ring with the chunky outer sleeve? You’ll need to remove the sleeve or skip a slot.

The four controller hooks work brilliantly for modern controllers. DualSense, Xbox Series controllers, and Switch Pro Controllers all hang securely. The hooks are positioned so controllers don’t bash into each other, which is thoughtful design. I did notice that if you hang four chunky Xbox controllers, the locker becomes a bit top-heavy. Not dangerously so, but worth being aware of if you’ve got cats or clumsy mates.

Now? Everything has a home. When I finish a gaming session, the controller goes on a hook, the headset goes on top, and I’m done. It sounds simple, but it’s made a difference. My desk looks tidier, and I’m not hunting for the right game case when I fancy switching games.

The vertical game storage is particularly clever. You can see all your cases at once, like browsing a shop shelf. Much better than horizontal stacks where you forget what’s at the bottom. I’ve actually played games I’d forgotten I owned because they’re now visible.

The drawer has become my catch-all for gaming detritus. Charging cables for my Ozeino Wireless Gaming Headset, spare thumbstick grips, a microfibre cloth for cleaning my monitor, and the USB dongle for my wireless mouse all live in there now. It’s not huge, but it’s enough for the essentials.

One minor annoyance: dust. The open design means dust settles on your game cases and in the drawer. Not a huge issue, but you’ll want to give it a quick wipe every couple of weeks if you’re particular about cleanliness.

The Numskull locker’s advantage is that everything is sized correctly. Game slots fit game cases. Controller hooks fit controllers. The headset holder fits headsets. Sounds obvious, but generic storage often means compromises.

If you’ve already got a premium headset stand you love (like the ones from Numskull’s official range), this might be overkill. But for most people starting from scratch or looking to consolidate, it’s a smart purchase.

Let’s break down what you’d pay for equivalent storage separately:

• Decent headset stand: £15-20
• Game storage tower: £12-18
• Controller wall hooks (pack of 4): £8-12
• Small storage drawer: £10-15

Total if buying separately: £45-65. The Numskull locker does all of this in one compact unit for significantly less. That’s genuine value, not marketing spin.

The trade-off is build quality. Premium storage solutions use metal, wood, or high-grade plastics with better finishes. They’ll last longer and look fancier. But for most gaming setups, especially if you’re renting or might move house, spending three times as much for prettier materials doesn’t make sense.

The value proposition is the real winner here. You’re getting multiple storage solutions in one unit for less than you’d pay for them separately. The plastic construction is fit for purpose, it’s desk furniture, not a safe. Treat it reasonably and it’ll last years.

Who should buy this? Console gamers with physical collections who are tired of messy desks. Multi-platform gamers juggling several controllers. Anyone who wants their gaming area to look less like a teenager’s bedroom and more like an organised setup.

Who should skip it? Digital-only gamers with no physical media. People with extremely limited desk space (it’s not huge, but it’s not tiny either). Anyone wanting premium materials and willing to pay significantly more for them.
