An electric standing desk allows users to make the necessary adjustments for a comfortable height to improve productivity, promote proper posture, and boost morale. It’s easy to set up your best height in the upper and lower positions and move your standing desk with the help of remote controls. Since many different types of remote controls exist on the market, finding the one that fits your needs may be challenging. In this article, we will cover the important factors to consider when choosing the right remote for your standing desk while introducing you to the new remotes we offer!
IMPORTANT FACTORS TO CONSIDER
When selecting your standing desk, it is crucial to find a durable product that you can count on. With a 15-year warranty, all our standing desk remotes are built to last, offering peace of mind and high-quality performance for years to come. Installation is also a breeze for all our wired-type remotes, and with the self-drilling screws in the package, you can have them up and running in no time. Besides warranty and installation, other major factors to consider when choosing the right remote include:
- Programmable memory presets
- Color tone
- Physical appearance
- Ergonomics
- LED display
PROGRAMMABLE MEMORY PRESETS
It’s time-saving and convenient to have programmable memory presets on the remote instead of changing height manually. Memory presets are helpful for those people who regularly use 2-3 positions at home or in an office. Memory presets especially come in handy when there are multiple users who take turns sharing the same desk.
Most of the remote controls we offer for standing desks come with memory presets. However, even though the memory presets are a convenient feature, some users don’t mind basic Up and Down buttons to move the desk or may just prefer remote simplicity. In this situation, our RT-07, RT-14, RT-21-B-V, and RT-17 remote controls may be a good choice for the basics.
COLOR TONE
Depending on your room's interior and standing desk color, you can choose a black or white remote control for your standing desk. For example, you can even create a “total white or total black” look of your workspace – we have many remote options of your choice! As an example, our RT-15 remote comes in white to help match brighter tones of tabletop colors for uniformity.
PHYSICAL APPEARANCE
Design preferences vary greatly from user to user when choosing a remote control’s look. If you want a remote that stands out, check out our RT-18 paddle-style remote and the futuristic round shape of the RT-16! Instead of the usual push button activation, the RT-18 offers a paddle that users can press down or pull upwards for activation. For the RT-16, users activate the remote by rotating in the clockwise and counterclockwise direction.
For those who prefer familiarity, we advise considering the RT-11 remote that comes as the default option for all our standing desks. This remote looks very similar to other adjustable desk controls on the market, and if you once used a standing desk, then it should be very similar to using the RT-11.
ERGONOMICS
Our RT-13 and RT-14 are the most ergonomic remote controls in our range when it comes to minimizing physical obstructions. The RT-13 remote conveniently slides in and out from under the desk, and the RT-14, a wireless handheld remote, can be used when necessary and kept away when not required. Depending on user comfort preferences, our range of remotes comes in options such as touch screen, easy click, membrane keys, and one-touch control to ensure there is something for everyone’s ergonomic needs.
LED DISPLAY
Large facilities such as those in an office, library, classroom, or laboratory may have multiple standing desks that use a variety of different remotes with and without LED displays. We recommend having at least one remote with an LED display available for potential troubleshooting in the future.
Most of our remotes come with an LED display that can read for error codes while also serving as a display for reading height. Once you have the option for troubleshooting available, our RT-07, RT-14, and RT-17 remotes with no LED display are excellent choices for the simplistic appearance and functionality that some users may enjoy.
OUR NEW REMOTE CONTROLS
RT-19-C-T
To keep up with customer demands, we recently launched new remotes that cater to some of the popular requests we get! The sleek and modern design of our RT-19-C-T offers a glossy black finish, adding a sophisticated touch and providing users with long-lasting durability.
Advance features such as tactile rocker control, LED display, three memory presets, and built-in USB fast charging ports also come standard on all RT-19-C-T remotes. For added safety, the RT-19-C-T includes child lock safety, collision detection sensitivity, and the ability to set minimum and maximum height limits to prevent accidental adjustments.
RT-20-C-V
If touch screen was more your style, the RT-20-C-V remote combines this with aesthetics and practicality in mind. Its glass-like sleek finish not only adds elegance, but also ensures durability and longevity to serve you well over the years. The built-in safety lock feature, collision detection sensitivity, and the ability to set minimum and maximum height limits assures every user with the safety to work with confidence. For added convenience, our RT-20-C-V also offers three programmable memory presets.
RT-21-B-V
Similar to the RT-17 and RT-07, our new RT-21-B-V also functions as a basic remote with just two buttons to operate and is at a lower cost than remotes with programmable memory presets. Users who enjoy a minimalist controller but still require the functionality of LED displays will find the RT-21-B-V to be the perfect combination. Additionally, the RT-21-B-V also comes with user-friendly membrane keys for effortless height adjustments!
IN SUMMARY
Standing desk remotes can come with different functions, colors, shapes, and operations to cater to different user preferences. By understanding what remotes are available and taking note of their features, you too can customize your standing desk with a remote that matches your needs!
