SECRETLAB MAGNUS Desk: Essential Add-Ons for a Cleaner, Smarter Workspace

At CGMagazine, we were impressed with the Secretlab MAGNUS desk when we first reviewed it. Offering a meticulously engineered metal desk, it quickly became the centrepiece of the premium gaming stations at our offices — not only providing a sturdy platform for your gear but also looking fantastic in photos. With its magnetic surface, integrated cable management and thoughtful ergonomics, the MAGNUS is an excellent place to set up all your PC gear and be ready for whatever you need to do, from gaming to content creation and everything in between.

While I personally love the MAGNUS desk, the proprietary accessories help transform an already impressive offering into a customizable gaming centre tailored to your specific needs. Whether you’re looking to eliminate cable clutter, organize your workspace or enhance your overall gaming experience, the MAGNUS ecosystem offers solutions that are as stylish as they are functional. With so many options to choose from, we wanted to highlight the ones we find most useful — and explain why they’re worth the entry price to build the Secretlab MAGNUS into something extraordinary.

Secretlab MAGNUS Dual Monitor Arm

As a magazine, almost everyone in our office uses dual-monitor setups, so we had to include the Secretlab MAGNUS Dual Monitor Arm in our list. Designed for creatives and professionals juggling multiple workflows or gamers looking to up their streaming game, the Secretlab MAGNUS Dual Monitor Arm is a fantastic and sturdy addition to the MAGNUS ecosystem. The arm is designed to integrate seamlessly with the desk’s cable management tray and eliminates clutter by routing cables through magnetic guides, keeping setups pristine even as screen positions are adjusted.

Its sturdy construction supports two monitors up to 34″ each, with a flexible range of tilt, swivel and rotation for ergonomic alignment — essential for long editing sessions or streaming marathons. The dual-arm configuration allows for landscape or portrait orientation, which is ideal for comparing documents side-by-side or monitoring social feeds vertically.

But what really impressed us, and why it made the cut, was its space-saving design, which frees up valuable desk space for peripherals such as microphones or storage drives. Users praise its stability, particularly with ultra-wide monitors, noting how the top-mounted clamp secures screens without compromising adjustability. For content creators who juggle video editing, live streaming and multitasking, this accessory transforms the MAGNUS desk into a productivity powerhouse, blending form and function with Secretlab’s signature engineering.

Designed to attach to Secretlab’s MAGNUS Monitor Arm, this accessory raises your laptop to eye level, reducing neck strain and freeing up valuable desk space for peripherals such as microphones, lighting rigs or external drives. Its mesh-cutout design provides optimal ventilation to prevent overheating during long editing sessions or live streams.

The stand’s sturdy construction and magnetic compatibility with Secretlab’s cable management system keep setups tidy, while tool-free adjustments allow for quick repositioning between portrait and landscape orientations — ideal for content creators who multitask across devices. Although it requires the MAGNUS Monitor Arm ($149), the investment pays off in ergonomic comfort and workspace efficiency, making it a must-have for creators committed to a clean, adaptable desk environment.

While it may seem like a minor addition compared to the rest of the list, for people who crave clean workspaces, the Secretlab Cable Management Bundle is an invaluable upgrade that elevates an already great setup into something truly fantastic. Designed specifically for Secretlab’s modular ecosystem, this bundle integrates seamlessly with the desk’s magnetic panels and under-desk channels, transforming chaotic cable sprawl into an organized, minimalist workspace.

The kit includes magnetic cable clips, adhesive routing channels, and a stealthy under-desk tray, all crafted from premium steel and reinforced polymers to ensure durability without compromising the desk’s sleek aesthetic.

What sets this bundle apart is its intuitive design — tools such as the magnetic clips snap effortlessly onto the MAGNUS desk’s steel frame, while the routing channels guide cables through hidden pathways, keeping them invisible yet accessible. The under-desk tray offers ample storage for power bricks and dongles, further streamlining your setup.

Whether editing photos, recording podcasts, or live-streaming gameplay, the Cable Management Bundle helps ensure every wire stays securely tucked away, eliminating distractions and enhancing productivity. Priced at $59.00 USD, the Secretlab Cable Management Bundle makes a great final touch on an already fantastic setup.

Last but not least, we have the aspect that helps finish off the look for the MAGNUS desk: the Secretlab Magpad Desk Mat. This full-coverage magnetic mat snaps seamlessly onto the desk’s surface, eliminating slippage while providing a luxuriously smooth platform for smartphones, tablets or drafting tools. Available in plush leatherette or velvety microsuede, it caters to tactile preferences, ensuring comfort during long editing sessions or streaming marathons.

What sets it apart is its modular design — users can swap between Secretlab’s growing range of themed designs to refresh their setup’s aesthetic without replacing the entire mat. Integrated with the MAGNUS desk’s cable management system, it maintains a clutter-free environment, which is critical for content creators juggling multiple devices.

The mat’s durability resists wear from frequent device movement, while its muted branding keeps the focus on productivity. For photographers or videographers, the neutral surface also doubles as a clean backdrop for product shots — we even use it here at CGM almost daily. By blending ergonomic utility with customizable style, the Magpad elevates any creative workflow.
