Unlock Your Ultimate Gaming Edge: 5 Desks That Transform Your Setup and Boost Performance

Ever wondered if your gaming desk could double as your secret weapon for all-night battles and snack raids? Well, the Secretlab Magnus Pro doesn’t just sit there looking cool—it’s like the Swiss Army knife of desks, built from steel and packed with genius extras. Imagine turning your whole desktop into a mouse pad without clutter or fuss—yeah, that’s the kind of ergonomic wizardry that had me upgrading my setup before I even blinked. Priced at $800 flat for the desk alone, it’s not just a piece of furniture; it’s where your marathon gaming sessions, work grinds, and late-night snack ambushes find their perfect stage. And if you’ve got room for one, the XL version’s got you covered. Trust me, this isn’t your run-of-the-mill desk—it’s hardcore, customizable, and ready for whatever you throw at it. Curious to see why everyone’s raving about this bad boy? LEARN MORE.

Check any list of gaming desks and you’ll find that the cream rises to the top. Notably, a different idiom from “the cream of the crop” which this desk also is. In both cases, the cream in question is Secretlab’s Magnus Pro, an adjustable steel desk with some killer accessories you can buy for upgrades down the line.

The best of the industrious add-ons is the Magpad, which you can place atop your desk to turn the entire surface into a mouse pad. No additional purchase required. Now, that’s just genius in our opinion. It can be bundled in and if you buy them together, you basically get the pad for half off. I’ve included the price in the bundle above, but if you want to ditch the pad you can get the desk alone for $800 flat.

Even on its own, though, this desk still rocks. It is a stronger, heavier version of the original Magnus, and if you want a larger size, you can choose the Magnus Pro XL. But we found the Pro to be plenty big for our needs, easily fitting a mouse, a keyboard, and all the drinks and snacks we needed for our all-night multiplayer sessions.
