Blacklyte Atlas review

A photo of the Blacklyte Atlas gaming desk.

Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery, as the saying goes, and in Blacklyte's case, it's flattering the heck out of Secretlab. The Blacklyte Atlas gaming desk—from the product's webpage to the actual desk itself—appears to me as being very heavily influenced by the Secretlab Magnus Pro desk.

The Atlas isn't a direct 1:1 copy but it's pretty close, and for some people that actually might be a good thing. After all, getting a Secretlab desk for a not-Secretlab price would be awesome. Except that's not the case here, as Blacklyte is asking $999/£899 for its gaming desk, more than the base version of the Magnus Pro. Even if you add optional extras to the latter, such as more cable management and an ARGB lighting kit (to match the Atlas), then it's still $72 cheaper.
