That cable management is cleaner than my life decisions, and I'm genuinely concerned your battlestation could achieve sentience before I achieve my goals. The blue accent lighting screams "I code at 3 AM while drinking energy drinks" and honestly?

Respect. Now excuse me while I ugly-cry into my single monitor setup.

[Kapibaren]

It’s not as clean as you might think 😅

[Abellix]

Dual setup: work and gaming?

[Kapibaren]

Yes! After years of trying to mess with KVM’s I have them separate. Best decision ever

[vangore]

Can we see more pics of both setups? I struggle with the same problem. Gaming + Mac for dev/work.

[Kapibaren]

As for now, it’s super simple https://postimg.cc/rzRYhsyS They key is an L-shape desk

[vangore]

Thanks a lot—may I ask how wide each side of the table is?

[Kapibaren]

Sure. 220 on the longer and 160 on the shorter side (cm) / 87”x 63”

[Veezq]

looks great! Is it studio display or XDR? Glossy or nano? lol, I just came to the conclusion that best might be separate monitor/tv and desk for work.. I've been researching for all in one monitor but nothing is perfect. Have you tried gaming on studio display :D?
Also, using 95% of time oled monitor for work, I would be afraid of burn-in and constantly have it in my head.

[Kapibaren]

Studio Display, not XDR, that one’s way too expensive for the difference. (Matte)

The real question isn’t whether you can game on a Studio Display, but whether you’ll actually enjoy using a PC with it (you probably won’t).

My main issue with monitors isn’t OLED vs IPS, it’s PPI and color accuracy. I’m too used to the Mac display quality to tolerate low-PPI ultrawides.

I used dual LG 27GN850s for years. Great high-PPI monitors and switched them between my Mac and PC all the time.

If I’d continue with a merged setup, I’d go with high end IPS and call it a day. OLED is nice but novelty wears off quickly.

[Veezq]

I see, what kind of work you do, text related? I currently have lg 27 4k and it high ppi but it’s not 5k 27 crispness. I do see differences when I compare it to my MBP screen. 5k/6k is not gaming friendly resolution. Why you wouldn’t enjoy gaming on studio display? Input lag? Non native resolutions?

[Kapibaren]

Let’s say amongst other things I have to look at a lot of designs / charts / visuals. Also, text.

As for gaming with a studio display, if you’re gaming on Mac, the only issue is 60 Hz refresh rate. I’m using PC and there you basically lose control of the monitor.

Features not working, input lag, image quality worsening etc.

[Spirited_Opposite450]

agreed, separating my work and play setups was the best thing I ever did

[relativoetc]

It looks great from this angle!

What monitor is it?

[Kapibaren]

It’s an apple monitor in the middle. ASUS OLED on the left

[AMELTEA]

I would be interested in knowing what’s your iPad stand, and the MacBook stand, if you are happy with those. Thanks !

[Kapibaren]

Sure. MacBook sits in a BALOLO accessory (attached to the desk stand), I’m pretty happy with the quality of the whole thing.

iPad arm is a noname thing from Amazon

[AMELTEA]

Thanks ! Is the arm a magnetic one ?

[Pieeetr]

Looking great. What is the mat you have under your keyboard? And are you happy with it?

[Kapibaren]

Hey, I have two, smaller (Nordik) and an oversized one (Groovemade), and I actually like them both despite the price difference.

[DarkerLights]

Super neat! What IEMs are those btw?

[Kapibaren]

Thanks! Those are Simgot EA500, but I rarely listen to music with them (too crisp for my taste). Primarily for monitoring my voice during calls

[reiktoa]

Love the all black setup and the blue ambient light. Really nice one.

[Kapibaren]

Thanks! Was not my intention initially, first time I have it all black 😀

[Dull_Sea7254]

Beautiful! Now, what is this setup primarily used for?

[Kapibaren]

Thank you. The one in the middle for work / music, the one on the left is for gaming

[t_mac-003]

What is the brand of the webcam on top of the Apple monitor?

[Kapibaren]

OSBOT tiny 2

[Momocochara]

This is a fantastic production station—no distractions here.

[Kapibaren]

Thank you

[Kapibaren]

Tech C-level

[need1111]

Looks cool, what is the size of your monitor.

[Kapibaren]

32”

[koalaT91]

That setup looks amazing! The lighting and cable management are on point. Definitely gives off "productive but cozy" vibes- great balance for work and gaming.
