![]() And it will do it all at a reasonable price. The Flexispot EN1B may not have the catchiest name here, but it makes for an impressively sturdy, motorized adjustable desk for anyone looking to upgrade their home/gaming/office setup. Read our full Secretlab Magnus Pro XL review. I really am impressed with what the Magnus Pro XL offers, as it's much more than anything I had expected from a desk previously. The main reason I feel it worth doing is more because I feel I fit into a group of people most likely to benefit from an investment in a high quality sit/stand desk alongside an ergonomic gaming chair: those that work primarily from home. Though it is a definite luxury to be able to allocate that much of your budget to a component in no way connected to the performance of your gaming PC. Ultimately I have to ask myself would I be happy with this desk if I'd paid that sort of sum for it? And, yes, I would. It's a single unit that clamps firmly onto the desk, between the hinged cover and the desk itself, and it offers sprawling reach for both the 28-inch and 32-inch monitors I've got in right now. The one accessory I really do think is worth investing in is the dual monitor arm. This is the thing: the Secretlab Magnus Pro XL requires some added expense to make it as sleek an experience as it should be. ![]() Though it must be noted that these magnetic cable ties are not included within the cost of the desk itself, and instead can be purchased for $25 for a set of three or for $49 as a set of three alongside two cable management sheaths and a stack of fastening straps. My favourite of which is the compact cable tidy: a small block of metal with a couple of strong magnets within that securely fixes my cables in place. ![]() These hide my gluttony of USB, audio, and power cables out of sight. ![]() That's not through a lack of cables on my part, of which I have arguably too many, but for the Magnus Pro XL's clever magnetic cable management accessories and discrete cable tray. The foremost impressive thing about the Secretlab Magnus Pro XL is how sharp and clean-cut it makes your PC setup look. It sits only 65cm off the ground at its lowest.Īnother thing I've come to re-evaluate since the Magnus XL is how a desk should handle cable management. The Magnus Pro XL is capable of lifting 120kg in gross weight (87.1kg if you subtract the weight of the metal desk itself) up to a height of 125cm. The mostly metal frame of the Magnus Pro XL, explains some of that, though it's the two included motors, one integrated into each of the legs, which add a whole lot of mass to the equation.īut that's what makes this the Magnus Pro XL: the desk's adjustable sit/stand functionality. This is also the heaviest desk I've ever had to move solo by far, at 32.9kg for the desk alone. The Magnus Pro XL is the largest desk I've ever used personally, having only recently found the space for such a behemoth, coming in at 177cm x 80cm. I'm now firmly in the camp that a desk should be absolutely massive. Still, it's better than going cheap and having to replace your entire desk every eight months. Some retailers offer extended warranties, too-a good investment, especially for electric desks. Gaming desks with cut-outs to run cables through are super handy, and there are plenty on this list with other quality-of-life features, though you'll likely pay a slight premium for the convenience. Should you take our recommendation to pop your PC on it, away from the dusty floor, you have to know if there's then going to be enough space to move your gaming mouse beside one of the best gaming keyboards. If that doesn't look like it's right for you, lets narrow it by your needs: are you looking to sit, stand, or both? There are benefits to spending some time on your feet, so an electric standing desk, or a desk converter, might be a better fit for you.Īlso, ask yourself how much real estate you need for your gaming monitors. Right now we reckon the best gaming desk is the Secretlab Magnus Pro XL, for its overflowing feature set compared to the dozens we've tested. Choosing a desk to suit you isn't always an easy task.
