We'll keep it short: the PS5 had its moment. Now it's Xbox's turn.
The Vertical Stealth Mount for Xbox Series X is here — and yes, it was built by the same team that made the PS5 version your favourite gaming desk setup influencer won't stop posting about. No sides. Just clean setups, for everyone.
Behind the Scenes: How This All Started
A while back, we got ourselves a Secretlab Magnus Pro desk. Great desk. But when we started looking for accessories, specifically something for gaming, the options for PS5 were basically zero.
So we built one ourselves. That became the Vertical Stealth Mount for PS5, which turned out to be one of our best sellers. We were pretty happy about that.
Then the comments started rolling in.
"Do you have an Xbox version?" "Please make one for Xbox Series X." "Xbox gang needs this too."
We heard you. And we knew we couldn't just leave the Xbox Series X sitting on a desk like a brick forever. After a few months of development, testing, and more tweaking than we'd like to admit — it's real. It ships. It's here.
No console war. Just good gear for everyone.
Is It Safe? We Took That Question Very Seriously.
Before we get into the features, let's talk about the thing every Xbox owner is already thinking about: the vents.
The Xbox Series X vents from the top. That's not a secret. And when you're mounting it under a desk, the last thing you want is a mount that blocks airflow and turns your console into a very expensive hand warmer.
The Design Process
In our initial designs, ventilation was always the first conversation — not an afterthought. We went through several top plate designs, each one evaluated on one core question: does the airflow stay free?
The final design ensures maximum airflow from all sides of the console. The bottom holds firmly against the rubber base of the console, and the back plate features our signature hex pattern — strong enough to hold, open enough to breathe.
We Tested It. Properly.
Before anything goes into production, we run physical strength testing on our samples — both Proof Load Testing and Static Load Testing. Every prototype gets put through the same set of questions:
-
"Is it easy to use?"
-
"Can it hold the console securely?"
-
"Is it easy to access the front ports, disc slot, USB and power?"
-
"Does airflow stay completely unobstructed?"
If any answer is "no", we go back to the drawing board. Simple as that. The Vertical Stealth Mount for Xbox Series X only shipped when every answer was yes.
What's in the Mount
🔧 3-Position Height Adjustment
Three adjustable slots let you choose the gap between the mount and the desk. Tight to the desk for a stealthy look, or with more clearance for easier access. Your setup, your call.
💨 Open Hex Bracket — No Blocked Vents
The open hex bracket design keeps airflow completely unblocked. Your Xbox breathes the way it's supposed to. No overheating worries. No covering the top vent. Mounted, nothing covered.
🔌 Full Port Access
Front ports, power cable, disc slot — all easily accessible. We designed around them, not over them.
🔩 12-Gauge Cold Rolled Steel
Not plastic. Not flimsy. 12-gauge cold rolled steel, strength-tested to hold your console securely. Built to last as long as your setup does.
🖥️ Desk Space Saved
Your console lives under the desk now. Your desk surface is yours again. Clean setup, reclaimed space — that's the whole point.
🤝 Works with Secretlab Magnus Pro/XL and Standard Desks
Got a Secretlab Magnus Pro or Pro XL? The mount clips right on using the desk's own screws. Standard desk? Self-tapping screws are included in the box. Either way, you're covered.
How to Install
We put together a full step-by-step installation video so you don't have to guess anything. From attaching the bumpers to sliding your Xbox in — it's all in there.
Level Up the Setup
These accessories pair perfectly with the Xbox Vertical Stealth Mount:
Silicone dust plugs for any port you're not using. Keep your console's ports protected and looking clean especially the ones you can't see under the desk.
🎮 Elite Under-Desk Dock for Xbox Elite Series 2
Stealth-mount your Elite controller right under the desk. Place your charger piece on the dock and your controller stays charged. Always ready when you are. (Note: charger piece not included.)
Metal desk like the Secretlab Magnus? The Mag Mana Hook snaps on magnetically. No drilling, no tools. A universal magnetic mount for your controller and headset that keeps everything exactly where you need it.
