After A Year With The Secretlab Magnus Pro Xl, Here's My Honest Review
After A Year With The Secretlab Magnus Pro Xl, Here's My Honest Review
The SecretLab Magnus Pro Desk is everything I wanted from the original Magnus Desk! I compare the Magnus Pro Desk to my previous Uplift Standing Desk in this review video.

These products are the best of the best, well built, premium materials, wall thickness and finish, they have spent a lot on Research, and know what works and what doesn’t and how long it will last.
There is Only thing they overlooked. The Recliner Foot Rest that fits under the Titan Evo Chairs, should of been on a sliding rail when unfolded, because people between 5.5 – 6.5 foot when laying down, the rest will only support the back of the upper thighs, this is an uncomfortable position and puts too much pressure on the back of thighs, blood flow etc. If it had a sliding rail, you move the foot rest further out which would move it further down the back of yr legs, therefore more comfortable for taller people when relaxing and laying down when reclining. They can fix this quite easy with all mini rail systems available today. Note models laying in the reclining Titan Chairs on the website photos, Notice the recliner is sitting much lower down the back of the legs, in those pics its behind the calves, but the models are rather short. That is the more comfortable resting and reclining position. Cheers Kiwi <3
Great video, helps me make a decision on this one. qq, where is your mic when filming? Sounds good and I’m always looking of getting mine out of frame but not sound like it’s 10 feet away.
I’ll get a ups when the power actually goes out. It’s yet to happen where I live.
review the gundam desk mat
i know this is late, but does anybody know what aftermarket add-ons his Arctic headset has? the braided cable is gorgeous
my problem with this is the size, i feel like its too small but its just so hard to tell without seeing it in real. unfortunately no store where i live has this desk
it deepends were you live becouse like in norway for exampel or most of europe a power strip can andle almost 4000 watage ig you order the magnus pro from secret lab poland i do understand tho th american power strip cant handle as much as the european once but i dont under why they limit em ether
Great video! thanks for the detailed review, and we’re glad the cable management tray has worked perfectly with your setup. We also appreciate the feedback with some of the things we can improve with the MAGNUS Pro – we’ll relay this with our Product team to note on how we can further work to fulfill more needs from our desk users. Cheers Fracno!
Could you not diy the drawer and use strong 3m magnet strips in the top of the drawer so it mounts to the bottom of the desk with no issue?
Ohhh…. And wash your shirt. Your neck is all stretched out and sloppy. Its just all giving sloppy.
does anyone know what keyboard he is using?
Its nice but i cant afford 1000 sheet id have to sell my ass 😒
No small drawer under table
What is this? An antidepressant advertisement? Just sits at the pc in sweats all day?
So you switched desk because the legs died, but had a 15 year warranty which they honored. But you switched to a desk that looks a bit better with fewer capabilities, lower quality, a lot shorter warranty?
11:58 bro… magnetic drawer….you missed the whole point of the desk being made out of metal
U can attach magnets to the drawer
How has a fire not happened at your house. You say protect your stuff shows cables bunched together degrading ober time fire hazard
how much she goes up sir?
Dude, you are really nice and thank you for your feeback. With that said, your setup looks like shit. You have way too much going on. Im looking at your background during your testimony and your setup and Im getting "grown man likes a lot of toys" vibes. I get the PC, the monitors (up to 3) and the soundboard… but what the hell with the rest. You are stacking a bunch of devices and eating up all of your real estate just for the sake of getting them in the picture. It’s giving "try-hard". Try steamlining your proccesses and devices and do another update. You can name it… "Introducting My Adult Setup".
This is the standing version right?
Im sure the wheels attatched make the wobble worse. Not at all as much stability but I under why you may have them
Missed opportunity to put affiliate link for this desk.
I wanted to buy it but i went to reddit and saw a decent amount of negative posts, people getting multiple damaged desks and non responsive Costumer Support
do you have 3x 27" monitors?
For the drawer under the desk, you can shop around and find a draw you like, then instead of using screws to install it, get heavy duty magnets or "industrial" Velcro
I think you need some sun my guy
They bill you 60$ for 8 screws. Don’t bother with this brand it will cost you a fortune forever.
UPS connected to the desk is the way I run it. Super sleek, no visible cords.
Love the Secret Labs desks but wish they would take the red stripes and stitching off some of their stuff and or offer more options such as black on black.
thanks for the great review
how’s the sound dampening on the metal surface as you type on a mechanical keyboard? Any complaints compared to your old desk?
4 legged desk dont make much diff in the wobble, seen and tested. i love the look of the magnus pro xl but i wouldnt have it even at half the price.
bro AN’T NO YOU LIKE THE SHELVS THAT DAYUM DESK SHELVS ARE ABSOLUTELY TERRIBLE ON A FREAKING DESK BRO YOU JUST MADE ME SO MAD!!!!!!!!!!
No one mentions they have no usa based support what so ever, none, no phone numbers, nothing! Takes 2-3 days for a simple response, and issues take weeks to resolve. Buyer beware, read the complaints on BBB, there is a reason they have an F rating. Their quality is ok, however you can get very similar made in china desks, this is a china desk, for half the price and get better support. You are paying for sponsorships, not quality.
As long as you don’t need the heavy load arms (wide screen / curved 32" to 49") Secret Labs offers a shelf that can sustain two 27" monitors. This solves the max height and additinoal mat problem addressed in the video.
You could make a drawer and mount it with magnets derp
Is this trolling or an actual attempt at a review? I am so lost.
Sup man I know this a older video of yours, but I’m just wondering do you plug your desk power supply into the wall & your UPS into the desk power strip (inside the cable tray) or do you do it backwards plug UPS into the wall/desk power strip into the UPS… thanks!
Spent a lot of time talking about the loss of 1" of 72"…
this review got me to pull the trigger on the Magnus pro xl – Gundam edition. have you checked that desk pad out yet?~! took a while to get here but now that its here… its a dream desk.
Motors malfunction??? Love it standard trash product from SecretLab. Way better options from competitors out there. If you want the SecretLab name on your setup buy a sticker
Wish they made a 96" x 30" Magnus Pro XXL 🤞
Could you just get two desktop mounts: one to hold your computer and the other to hold the UPS? I imagine something like a Tripp Lite SMART1500. Then just stick it on one mount on a side and the desktop mounted on the other. Then just wire it up with the cable routing doodads.
Bro, what stand are you using for your PC case? My hyte y70 case is too wide for their PC case mount😭
I need to invent a magnet drawer
I’m sure someone has commented this already in the past year, but I’m not sifting through 537 comments to see if someone did, sooo. What i personally did was plug all my devices into a power strip, then plug that strip into the Magnus Pro XL’s built in plug, then plugged the desk into my UPS. Although I don’t have QUITE as many objects as you to plug in. 2 monitors, a pc, and some random audio devices.
I bet 80% of your viewers are using a ups
I’m a non shelfer, so I’ll be ok
Thank you for the review! I also have that same exact keyboard!
I ahve this desk ordered in 2025.. I got the Normal one, and can’t wait!! And my room-mate got the XL model, and it doesn’t seem that loud, so maybe they worked on some of the issues!!
