The 70-inch XL version of Secretlab's MAGNUS Pro brings the same magnetic cable ecosystem to a deck big enough for triple monitors and serious creator workflows.

What we like
- Massive 70" x 31.5" deck handles dual ultrawides or triple-monitor setups with room to spare
- Integrated power supply column and full-length cable tray hide every cable cleanly
- Magnetic accessory ecosystem (monitor arms, headphone hangers, RGB strips) attaches without screws
- Precision electric height adjustment from 25.6" to 49.2" with three programmable presets
Could be better
- $200 premium over the standard MAGNUS Pro adds up once you factor in MAGPAD and accessories
- Heavy enough that assembly genuinely requires two people
- Magnetic accessory lock-in — you'll buy Secretlab's ecosystem, not third-party
Full Review
The MAGNUS Pro XL is the same desk we already reviewed — just bigger. Secretlab took the integrated power column, magnetic cable tray, and accessory ecosystem of the standard 60-inch MAGNUS Pro and stretched the deck to 70 inches. At $1,149, it sits $200 above the regular Pro. Whether that premium is worth it depends entirely on what’s going on top of the desk.
MAGNUS Pro vs. MAGNUS Pro XL — The Real Difference
The mechanics are identical. Same dual motor, same 25.6” to 49.2” range, same 120kg lift capacity, same three-preset controller, same five-year warranty. What changes is real estate: 70 x 31.5 inches versus 60 x 27.5. That’s a meaningful 10 extra inches of width and 4 more inches of depth — enough to fit a 49” ultrawide with breathing room on either side, or three 27” monitors in a row without crowding the keyboard tray.
The cable tray scales with the deck. On the XL, the magnetic tray spans the full 70 inches, which matters more than it sounds. Once you’re running a docking station, a USB hub, two monitor power bricks, and a Stream Deck PSU, the standard tray fills up fast.
Who Actually Needs the XL
The 60” MAGNUS Pro is enough desk for most people. If you’re running a single monitor — even a 38” ultrawide — the standard size has the footprint you need. The XL only earns its keep in three scenarios: dual ultrawide setups, triple-monitor configurations, or hybrid workstations where a streaming PC, audio interface, and broadcast peripherals all need to live on the deck simultaneously.
Content creators are the obvious target. A 49” ultrawide for editing plus a vertical 27” for timelines or chat fits comfortably. So does a flight sim rig with HOTAS, throttle, and a center monitor stack. Anyone running a single 27” monitor on this is wasting money.
The Ecosystem Tax
Secretlab’s magnetic accessories work brilliantly — the MAGPAD desk mat, MAGNUS monitor arms, and MAGRGB light strip all snap into place without tools. The catch is that they’re sold separately, and once you commit to the system, you’re inside Secretlab’s walled garden. A fully kitted MAGNUS Pro XL with MAGPAD, dual monitor arm, and PC mount lands closer to $1,500 than $1,149.
If you want a similarly large standing desk without the magnetic lock-in, the Uplift V2 Commercial in 72” comes in cheaper and accepts any third-party accessory. You give up the integrated power column and the magnetic tray, but you gain flexibility.
Who Should Buy This
Buy the MAGNUS Pro XL if you’re running dual ultrawides, triple monitors, or a content creation rig where peripherals sprawl across the deck. The 70-inch surface plus full-length cable tray genuinely solves problems the standard Pro can’t. Skip it — and save the $200 — if you’re a single-monitor user, even at 38 or 49 inches. The standard MAGNUS Pro already handles that workload, and the extra width on the XL just becomes empty desk you paid for. If you want the same large footprint without locking into the magnetic ecosystem, the Uplift V2 Commercial 72” is the alternative worth shortlisting.
