For several years, Secretlab has been at the forefront of providing gamers with both the convenience and the style necessary to make every gaming session a comfortable and memorable one with its growing selection of intricately designed gaming chairs. More recently, however, the company has been making a greater name for itself with the MAGNUS Metal Desk, and its newer sit-to-stand variant, the MAGNUS Pro. After only offering the MAGNUS Pro in a sleek black since its debut, Secretlab has now unveiled a new Pure White edition of the desk to go along with the rest of its Pure White collection.
While Secretlab has long provided MAGNUS Pro owners the opportunity to change the color of the top of their desk with an optional MAGPAD Desk Mat, the desk metal itself has always been black. The MAGPAD has done its job of helping gamers further customize their gaming setup with different color schemes, but the black metal of the desk can only take those color schemes so far. Now, the Pure White MAGNUS Pro opens up those options more than the original black ever could by itself, and it's launching alongside several new Pure White-themed accessories to boot. Over the last couple of weeks, The Best War Games has been testing the Secretlab MAGNUS Pro Pure White Sit-to-Stand Metal Desk and its matching accessories, and paying special attention to its convenience, aesthetic appeal, and durability.

The Secretlab MAGNUS Pro Pure White Sit-to-Stand Metal Desk Specializes in Convenience
In a world that is becoming increasingly health-conscious, sit-to-stand gaming desks are coveted more than ever. However, while there are certainly plenty of options out there, Secretlab's MAGNUS Pro may be unmatched in convenience, and the clean look of the new Pure White edition is a huge bonus. Among the MAGNUS Pro's most prominent features are its clutter-free design and seamless sit-to-stand transition, with innovative cable management and the option to have the desk automatically raise and lower itself at the single push of a button.
The MAGNUS Pro allows users to save three separate height settings after they've manually adjusted it to the height(s) they prefer using a small touch keypad found on the desk table's front right corner. Once these heights are saved, simply pressing the preferred setting causes the desk to rise or lower accordingly. The keypad can even be turned off to prevent any accidental adjustments, which is fortunate considering how responsive the keys are. Additionally, the desk's all-metal design makes it strong enough to bear up to 265 pounds, although it's advisable not to lean on it or add extra weight to it during transitions.
Along with its seamless sit-to-stand transitions, Secretlab's MAGNUS Pro specializes in unrivaled cable management with a spacious covered cable tray that attaches to the back of the desk table. Any cables that run into the Cable Management Tray from either the top or the bottom of the desk can thus be hidden from view to allow for a cleaner look. The Cable Management Tray is even large enough to hide a sizable power strip, so any power cables can run directly into the tray and plug into the power strip with its cable then being the only one to run out of the tray and plug into a wall socket.

New Themed Accessories Are Launching Alongside Secretlab's MAGNUS Pro Pure White Desk
Launching next to the Pure White MAGNUS Pro desk are several themed Secretlab accessories that can make the overall experience even better for gamers looking to upgrade their setup from both a comfort and visual standpoint. Firstly, there are two new MAGPAD Desk Mats available — Silver Suede and Ash Gray — that will warm up the look and feel of the desk. The Best War Games was provided with the Silver Suede edition for the purposes of this review, which features a microsuede finish that feels incredibly soft to the touch and magnetically adheres to the desk table to prevent it from shifting at any point. It's sturdy too, as after two weeks spent with it, any accessories resting on the Silver Suede MAGPAD have not worn down its finish to a noticeable degree.
There is also a Pure White MAGNUS Desk Riser that allows users to stretch their desk economy even further, especially when coupled with Secretlab's new Pure White MAGNUS Dual Monitor Arm. As desk space is such a sought after commodity, the MAGNUS Desk Riser and Dual Monitor Arm are almost a must, and the new Pure White editions are essential to complete the look started by the Pure White MAGNUS Pro desk itself. The MAGNUS Dual Monitor Arm is fully mobile and requires little effort to adjust, and the clamp is very slim, making it hardly discernible. Finally, a Pure White Secretlab Cable Management Bundle will allow users to keep their cables anchored in place and hidden from view, even inside the Cable Management Tray.
The Pure White MAGNUS Pro specializes in convenience, and that includes setup. The biggest parts of the desk are very heavy, so assistance is advised when putting everything together. However, while some may find the setup process for the Pure White MAGNUS Pro to be its most inconvenient aspect, the whole setup — from unboxing to finish — should only take most users around an hour. Furthermore, no extra tools are required, allowing new owners of the desk to get right into the action.
It's safe to say that the Secretlab MAGNUS Pro Pure White Sit-to-Stand Metal Desk is going to be tough to beat in terms of convenience, aesthetic appeal, and durability. Secretlab's signature black edition of the MAGNUS Pro was already one of the best sit-to-stand desks available, so the option of the same desk in Pure White ups the ante and sets a new standard for the market to observe. After spending just a couple of weeks with the Secretlab MAGNUS Pro Pure White Sit-to-Stand Metal Desk, it's an easy recommendation for anyone looking to upgrade or improve their gaming setup.
