Veteran gaming chair manufacturer Secretlab has announced an L shaped extension for the MAGNUS desk. This allows you to expand the desk into the ever-popular L shaped gaming desk form factor while retaining the existing magnetic ecosystem of cable holders, headphone hangers, and cable shrouds.
Secretlab originally hit the market with the MAGNUS desk back in May of 2021 and it was met with a positive reception for its design, build quality, and magnetic ecosystem that allows for potentially limitless accessorization with the range of optional extras. Though pricy, it was named the best gaming desk by several editorial outlets and is yet to be superseded.
Here at WePC we were very impressed with the MAGNUS, with particular praise going towards the cable shrouds, RGB lighting, and minimalistic industrial design. Additionally, we found it to be one of the only desks truly designed with gaming in mind, especially the built-in cable management and magnetic accessory lineup. With the addition of the L shaped extension, the MAGNUS is set to continue its reputation as a top-tier gaming desk. If you have the money to spend, that is.
