Between the original MAGNUS Metal Desk and the all-new MAGNUS Pro and Pro XL Sit-To-Stand Metal Desk — choosing the ideal desk to fit your needs can be a little daunting. Now with even more options, including a growing range of exclusively compatible accessories and add-ons, it’s easy to be spoilt for choice. Let us help you figure out which Secretlab MAGNUS gaming desk is the right one for you.

Engineered from the ground up in our design lab, every Secretlab MAGNUS desk — including our L-Shaped Desk Extension — is built with premium materials like powder-coated steel and an ultra-durable metal chassis. Our desks undergo a series of rigorous tests and simulations by internationally recognized authorities such as A*STAR, BIFMA, ISO, BSI and more. All to ensure that we’ve created a tough and sturdy foundation that can accommodate even the most heavy-duty setups.

At its core, our design focus for the entire MAGNUS lineup has always been about creating the finest cable management solutions. With our proprietary magnetic ecosystem comprising a specially fabricated full-length cable management tray and an array of modular magnetic accessories, our desks have completely changed the way Secretlab fans approach cable management.

Personalization is also a key feature of the Secretlab MAGNUS collection. Our growing range of desk add-ons means you can tailor your setup to fit your exact needs. Choose from the wide range of desk accessories and add-ons like the Secretlab MAGPAD™ Desk Mat and Secretlab MAGRGB™ Diffused LED Strip (Smart Lighting Edition), and show your personality with a fully customizable desktop space.

Now that we’ve established the similarities between the various MAGNUS models, let’s dive into their key differences to narrow down which one best suits your preferences and needs.

Our precision height adjustment system isn’t simply about providing our users with healthy movement throughout their active days—it was also our opportunity to take cable management to new frontiers. MAGNUS Pro incorporates our patent-pending fully-integrated power supply column built right into the desk leg. This means your workspace can now finally, truly work for you — it really is all desk, no more cable mess.

At 1.5m (59.1”) wide, the MAGNUS Pro has enough room to accommodate one widescreen monitor or two standard-sized monitors. Whether you’re a streamer, video editor, gamer, or working professional, the MAGNUS Pro rises to meet you at just the right height — no matter the task.
