What we like
- Full-steel magnetic top makes cable and accessory management genuinely frictionless
- Integrated power supply column hides the one cable that usually ruins standing desks

- Includes a full-size MAGPAD desk mat — no separate purchase needed
Could be better
- $699 is premium pricing for a 60-inch desk footprint
- Steel top is heavier than MDF — two-person assembly strongly recommended
- No built-in height presets on the base controller (requires the app)
Full Review
Secretlab built its name on the Titan Evo gaming chair, and the Magnus Pro is what happens when that same engineering team decides desks are next. It looks like gaming gear in the marketing photos, but sit in front of one for a week and it reveals itself as one of the most thoughtfully-designed work desks on the market.
The Magnetic Surface Is the Whole Point
The entire desktop is powder-coated steel, and every square inch is magnetic. That sounds gimmicky until you realize it means every cable clip, headset hook, and monitor riser just snaps into place — no adhesive, no drilling, no regret when you rearrange. The included MAGPAD desk mat covers the working area with a leatherette finish that hides the steel underneath, so it still looks like a proper desk rather than a filing cabinet.
For anyone who has spent a Saturday taping Velcro cable ties under an IKEA desk, this feature alone is worth the price difference.
Cable Management Solved, Not Managed
The integrated power supply column is the other genuinely novel feature. A single cable runs from the wall, up through a hollow leg, and feeds a power strip that lives inside the full-length hinged tray under the desktop. Monitor cables, dock cables, and device chargers all live up there, out of sight and moving with the desk when it raises or lowers.
This is the problem every standing desk has — cables that snag, stretch, or dangle — and Secretlab is the first company to solve it at the desk-design level instead of selling you a tray accessory.
Daily Work Performance
The dual-motor lift is quiet enough that nobody on a video call will hear it. Height adjustment is millimeter-precise via the touch controller, though you’ll want to pair the app to save presets — a small but annoying omission from the base unit. The 265 lb capacity handles a dual-monitor arm, a mechanical keyboard, a laptop dock, and heavy ceramic coffee mugs without any wobble or drift.
At standing height with a 32-inch monitor, there’s zero perceptible shake when typing aggressively. That’s not something most sub-$1,000 desks can claim.
Who Should Buy This
Buy the Magnus Pro if you want the cleanest possible desk setup and you care about how your workspace looks on camera — the magnetic ecosystem and hidden cable system do real work here. It pairs naturally with the Titan Evo chair for a cohesive setup, and the 5-year warranty is genuinely among the best in the category.
Skip it if you just need a functional sit-stand desk and don’t care about the aesthetics — a Flexispot E7 does the height-adjustment part for half the price. But if you’re building a setup you’ll be looking at for the next decade, the Magnus Pro earns its price tag.
