Usually, when I see the term “gaming desk”, I think that whatever the marketer got a keyboard, it can be somewhat overzealous, but Thunder X2 Lab-X presents a decent argument for this in many shapely additions.
Lab-X has a volleyball side plate (with key optional fan supports) for cooling, a tempered glass top, a sewage system for adding headphones or cups, and built-in collision detection to stop it from breaking everything when the whole table rises or falls. Although not all these additions turned out to be as useful as I could expect, everything connects to offer a forceful package at a reasonable price.
Lab-X Thunder X3 is a arduous equipment to build. It is not only very bulky, weighing slightly below 50 kg, but wide, at 170 cm. You will probably want two or more people involved in compilation, and this is only part of the battle. It has many, many screws that you need to screw in using a hexagon key, whose table provides only one.
In addition, many screws are located right next to other parts of the desk, so you can not make full rotation, which means that you need to insert the hexagonal key, turn it on a quarter, pull it out and put it back again. After about thirty minutes of moving, building, some crying and re -movement, you can then knock over the table and set it.
Specifications Thunder X3 LAB-X
In order for this process to be slightly less disordered as a result, the box is equipped with gloves to avoid fingerprints. However, after configuring, the glass top is an absolute magnet of fingerprints. If you devote time to wearing gloves for the whole process, you will discover that everything is vain when you notice fingerprints after thirty minutes of play.
To sum up, I had exceptional dissatisfaction to find out that my room has walls that curve inwards, just a few hours after setting the table. It is usually a desk, so after sending a desk up it caused a enormous scratch through the paint of my walls. The table left this clash unscathed.
In a sense, it is both a testimony of the strength of the table and the accusation of the quality of my paint. It is worth noting that this is a relatively niche thing, and more painters who decorated my apartment’s flaw than Thunder X3.

I tested the detection of the collision, using it normally, as in the last few weeks, but also by placing a cardboard box under the table and falls. Although there was certainly some pressure, because it took a while to register a collision, it was not enough to cause any damage to the box.
In exchange for these disputes, it provides a striking good experience after configuration and gaw. This is a very solid compilation, which I never thought twice after configuring it. Taking the burden of a computer, many books, a board game and my musical production configuration, he can cope with everything I put on it without affecting the engine. .
… it is super solid, the engine runs relatively quietly, and the table side is forceful enough to fight my wall and go upstairs.
Apart from scratching, the collision detection on my wall did not pull out any wires out of place and moves moderately quickly. Although it is not entirely still, as the Thunderx3 website states, it is certainly a silky and relatively still engine. The range of height from 75 cm to 120 cm is also solid, it is 18 cm shorter than Secretlab Magnus Pro XL, which is currently our best choice for the best gaming desk.
On the right there is a petite panel with a crystal clear screen. On the left side of this screen there are two buttons that can send a desk up or down. Then on the right there are two preliminary settings that you can set by holding for 2 seconds at the desired height.
Finally, there is a “health mode” button, which in time slowly adjusts the height of the desk to change the attitude and position. The airy violinist on my desk moves me quite quickly, but I saw that it works for a specific type of desk user

Lab-X aesthetics is elegant and neat. All black, with different shades for different sections. The glass mousepad at the top is very silky to play and cools down to the touch. Then, the past, this tempered top is aluminum. The sides are then made of the same aluminum material, but they have a net texture that is to match the accessories of fans sold separately.
I could not personally verify any claims regarding heat dissipation with these fans, because I do not have them, but it gives a good location for placing game equipment and you can feel toasty under the net when you place a computer or console on it.
It is worth noting that if you are on the market of this desk, that tempered glass panels have your own problems that you need to do. Although more resistant to heat than normal glass, they may suffer from thermal shock, so keep scorching drinks away from it.
In addition, tempered glass is susceptible to scratches, which can harm the mouse’s ability to raise the movement thoroughly. I have not seen any of these problems when I used the desk, but it is a matter that I will continue to apply drinks and equipment.

The legs are far from each other that two chairs can fit between them for coworking, and on two people there is a lot of space for a top 170 cm long by 75 cm. My model was equipped with an attachment of a cup and a headphone holder, which can be mounted through a rather neat track system just on the sides of the table. You effectively remove part of the corner, put the mounting, and then screw it into the base. This means that you can not only quickly adjust the position of the attachments, but you can add more accessories when buying them, as Thunder X3 displays it.
Buy if …
✅ You want a enormous desk at a good price: Thunder X3 issued a desk comparable to the Secretlab offer, but much cheaper.
✅ You want an update desk: Although the Lab-X is equipped with several accessories, it has an clever track system to the conveyor in modern ones, when they seem.
Do not buy if …
❌ You hate messy wires: LAB-X does not have its own wire management system, so you will have to think about how it or gets stuck in a few hanging cables.
❌ You don’t have a friend who will aid in compilation: This desk is not only very bulky and enormous enough to make it arduous to navigate, but requires a lot of work.
Unfortunately, one additional function that Lab-X can apply is a form of wire management. He has underneath management for the cable in which you connect the desk, but it lacks anything more. This means configuring a computer, monitor and additional accessories often means the implementation of a secondary wire management system to avoid hanging everything from the back.
Secretlab Magnus Pro XL will probably be the biggest competition of Thunder X3, because they are similarly size and both have black elegant aesthetics. This last desk is lighter, cheaper (USD 600 vs 950 USD) and has several neat functions. Both desks are very challenging, and the push barely moves Lab-X.
However, the Secretlab offer has wire management, a wider top and a deeper height range. It also has several additional buttons and is equipped with a separate desk mat.
However, due to its price, Thunder X3 offers a lot of game furniture here. The construction is lifeless and long, and the gloves are more or less pointless, considering how many fingerprints get on it, but it is super solid, the engine works relatively quietly, and the side of the table is forceful enough to fight my wall and go upstairs.
I am a bit annoyed, I will have to paint part of my salon, but I do not think that “the wall of the curve” is something that the desk can settle, especially when his anti -color technology stopped her from hitting everything I have. It may not be overcoming Secretlab, but it puts a dignified competition at a cheaper price.
