In a nutshell: Secretlab, a company all-time known for its gaming chairs, has but unveiled its commencement gaming desk. The Magnus Metal Desk has a minimalist aesthetic with modular accessories to personalize it for specific setups. Pre-ordering starts today.

The Magnus looks simplistic, only Secretlab has had it in development for three years. The flagship feature is what Secretlab calls a "magnetic ecosystem." The steel-alloy surface allows for the attachment of optional modular magnetic accessories, including cable anchors, cable sheaths, headphone hangers, and a diffused RGB strip.

The desk likewise has an assortment of leatherette desk mats. The Secretlab "Signature Stealth" cover comes complimentary with purchase, simply the company is partnering with other companies to offer unlike decorative designs. And so far, it only has ii third-party mats—one from Cloud9 and another from Team Liquid. The leatherette covers accept a magnetic layer so that the accessories still attach firmly to the desktop. It besides helps keep the mat from sliding around.

The desk itself has a couple of cool features. Beginning is its cablevision tray situated nether the rear of the desktop. The back of the desktop has a hinged opening for easy cable management. The hinge comes forward when lifted, so having the desk flush confronting a wall does not foreclose the cable tray from opening smoothly. The enclosure also houses the RGB lighting strip, which lights up the lip of the tray door and the wall behind the desk-bound.

The cable tray is open on both sides so users tin can road cords down either rear leg and hibernate them with the magnetic cable sheaths. Additionally, users can organize and go on mouse and keyboard cords, charging cables, and other peripheral wires out of the mode with magnetic anchors that attach anywhere to the top of the desk-bound.

The Magnus is 29-inches high, which Secretlab says is platonic for promoting adept posture, a hallmark of all its gaming chairs. The tabletop comes in two sizes. Both are 27.6-inches from front to back and either 59- or 47-inches from side to side. The smaller version goes for $399, and the larger is $449.

As mentioned, both sizes come with the Secretlab Stealth mat, with 3rd-party covers available for $49 actress. It's important to notation that these prices are for desk purchases only. Buying them separately, look to pay $99 for the 3rd-party covers and $79 for the Stealth.

The RGB strip is entirely unnecessary, just for those that similar that sort of affair, it runs $59. Other accessories range from $13 to $29, with a bundle for $44. The packet deal contains two cable sheaths, 3 cable anchors, and 10 fastening straps for keeping your cords squeamish and tidy.

The headphone hanger and magnetic bumpers for the back of the desk are not nevertheless available. Pricing and availability should be coming soon. Secretlab expects shipments to offset going out on June 2 or earlier. I pre-ordered a Titan gaming chair a while back, and it arrived a few weeks earlier than expected. And then I suspect aircraft estimates include a cushion for worst-case shipping situations.
