Be right back. The drink is staying put.

Step away from the desk for a minute and this gaming coaster does the talking, with the BRB Gaming design printed in chunky arcade-style block letters. Each order is one coaster with a cork back, a small gift for the player or streamer who always has a drink within reach.

The lettering: two lines straight off an arcade cabinet

The top line reads “BRB” in large, squared capitals with cut corners, and “GAMING” runs below it at the same overall width. Every letter of the top line has a magenta-to-purple face built from fine horizontal stripes, teal beveled edges that give it a chiseled look, a white outline and a yellow drop shadow, and each one sits in its own teal-framed cell.

The lower word is flatter, a pink-to-purple fade with thin teal outlines and G's drawn like squared spirals. Both lines sit on a black rectangle with a thin teal frame and faint horizontal scan lines, the kind an old monitor shows. Around that panel the coaster face is plain white.

The three letters are chat shorthand for “be right back”, the message you type before a snack run or a stretch. Here they are flat printed ink in a 1980s arcade palette, a note to whoever shares the room that your seat is only empty for a moment.

A hard top, a cork base and rounded corners

• The print sits on a 0.12″ (3 mm) hardboard top under a high-gloss coating
• The ring from a cold can ends up on the water-repellent top, and your desk stays dry
• A hot mug is fine too, since the top is heat-resistant
• The 0.04″ (1 mm) cork back is non-slip and stays put when you reach for your glass
• Square with rounded corners: 3.74″ × 3.74″ (9.5 × 9.5 cm) and 0.16″ (4 mm) thick in total
• Easy to clean: a gentle pass with a damp cloth does it

Who it's for

Players who pause for snacks, streamers between segments, and anyone whose desk doubles as a dinner table. Keep it by the mouse pad, on the arm of the couch-side table or on a nightstand. It makes sense as a housewarming extra for a new game room, a secret-santa pick for the office, or a thank-you for the friend who hosts game night.

Quick answers

How much of the coaster does the lettering cover?

The black panel is a horizontal rectangle in the middle of the face. It takes up about two thirds of the width and a little under half the height, which leaves a margin on every side.

How do the letters get their 3D look?

It is drawn in. The beveled inner edges and the offset shadow are part of the artwork, printed under the coating, so the top stays level for a glass or a mug.

Does it suit a desk that is also used for work?

Yes. The message is a short, friendly sign-off that most coworkers know from chat, so it reads as easily beside a work laptop as beside a controller.
