This might be the perfect iPad stand for your desk setup
Kuxiu has been newly added to its lineup, the new X36 Pro Max Magnetic Charging iPad stand, based on the popularity of the previous X33 stand. With the X36, I’ve added some upgrades to preserve the features that made the X33 into hits, such as magnetic attachments and adjustable angles, and to make it even better with the iPad desk setup. Check out the new X36 stand
Design and build quality
The X36 Pro Max stand boasts a premium, all-metal build that feels practically without being overly bulky. Its base is weighted for stability, but the magnetic pads keep the iPad in place safely, providing reliability even on larger models.
Key design features include:
- 360° Rotation and Tilt Adjustment: Easily switch portrait and landscape orientation and adjust the angle for comfortable viewing.
- Magnetic Mounting: The strong magnet ensures that your iPad is held safely, allowing for easy peeling while preventing accidental drops.
- Charging indicator: The base soft LED light shows a mix of functionality and aesthetics.
These features make it a versatile accessory for any desk or workspace.

specification
The X36 Pro Max has some outstanding specifications that set it apart from traditional stands.
- Charging power: Provides fast charging with a power supply of up to 18W.
- USB-C port: The stand has a USB-C input for charging
- Material: High quality aluminum alloy for durability and refined appearance.
- Weight: It gives a solid foundation at about 1.5 kg, so you won’t get a stand when you remove the iPad.
Please note that the M4 iPad Pro version only works with the M4 iPad Pro as Apple changed its magnet placement to take into account the new landscape camera. The M2 iPad Air version will work with iPad Pros from 2018 to 2022 and will work with the new iPad Air design. Make sure you select the correct model!
How to use the stand
As someone who embraced the iPad as an important part of my daily workflow, the X36 Pro Max stand was a real game changer. On days when you’re all in with an iPad-only setup, this stand provides the perfect platform. You can adjust the angle to make it suitable for note take, video calls, or as a display for side-by-side multitasking using the Split Screen app. Magnetic attachments and quick charging streamline everything and allow you to move tasks seamlessly without causing any cables or positioning. This will allow the main iPad USB-C port to be used by other peripherals you wish to attach.

Even when working on a MacBook Air, this stand is handy. While focusing on the main laptop project, I often suggest an iPad with the X36 next to my MacBook as a secondary screen, which is particularly useful for checking emails, monitoring social media, and referencing notes. It’s like having an extra monitor, but with the flexibility of an iPados.
For those who appreciate a multipurpose, all-in-one setup, this stand is not just an accessory, it becomes part of the workspace flow. Whether you’re using it to keep your desk cluttered or giving your iPad a dedicated location next to your laptop, the X36 Pro Max will perfectly suit my needs.
Pricing and availability
The Kuxiu X36 Pro Max is available on Amazon for $129.99, but will sell 25% off on Prime Day, reducing it to just under $100. The stand’s premium build, magnetic attachments and fast charging feature justify the investment of frequent iPad users. As mentioned earlier, it is available on the new M4 iPad Pro, M2 iPad Air, and 2018-2022 iPad Pro. There is also the X33 Stand, a more traditional desktop stand.
Final thoughts
The Kuxiu X36 Pro Max Magnetic Charging Stand is perfect for iPad users looking to enhance their setup. Premium materials, fast charging and versatile adjustments provide a solid blend of style and functionality. If you’re ready to turn your iPad into a true desktop companion, the X36 Pro Max could be the stand you’ve been waiting for. Please tell us what you think. Is this what you use? How do you use it?
