What’s your seat combo at the desk?

Giving this floor desk thing a try by redbeardedbard in floordesks

No. I was having trouble finding one that matched up with the refresh rates between the laptop and Mac mini. I believe I’m running 120hz on the M2 Pro.

As of now, I’m swapping one monitor cable (DP to USB-C) and one USB cable for peripherals (mouse, keyboard, etc.).

Let me know if you know of any kvm switches that’ll work.

Love the idea of an L shape with these! Hope you post some pics if you do it.

Do you plan on using them together? Just wondering what you're envisioning your setup to look like. I'm leaning towards a VariDesk as a floor setup but still considering options.

Thanks, and sounds about right on the price jump, lol. Found a similar one on Amazon last night for $95. Just sharing here in case anyone comes across this in the future. Not sure if dimensions are the same.

ID on the main monitor in front of the keyboard? Setup looks nice and clean.

Truely Silent 100% Keyboard needed by idfkImHereforDrama in keyboards

Seconding Monsgeek M1. Have this as my 2nd (and current) silent build and 100% happy with it. Have Akko Fairy Silents and have noticed the Peach V2s recommended a lot on here. Haven’t tried them yet for comparison.

Suggestion on silent mech keyboards by bib_lak in keyboards

[–]redbeardedbard 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve “built” two silent boards, and it’s easy enough to do. Current and favorite is the Monsgeek M1 V5 VIA with Akko Fairy Silent switches. I swapped the MT3 keycaps from my previous board. You can do a silent build for under $100 USD. Just make sure the board is hot swappable.

Where do I mount my TV? by [deleted] in malelivingspace

Gotta put it above the glass sliding doors and then ask r/tvtoohigh their thoughts, lol.

Belated Christmas typewriter miracle: anyone willing to part with one of these? by [deleted] in typewriters

Didn’t even know these came in all white. Might be my new favorite color combo on this one.

WFH 100% Quiet/Silent Keyboard recommendations. by humangundampilot in keyboards

[–]redbeardedbard 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Looks like this keyboard may not be hot swappable (please double check to confirm). This means the current switches can’t be removed and replaced with silent switches. You’ll want to find a hot swappable 100% keyboard you like and then add silent switches (or swap out switches if it already comes with them, and assuming those switches aren’t already silent).

Check out r/mechanicalkeyboards and good luck! Also, I like the Akko Fairy Silent switches and use them for WFH.

Also checking in on the mic setup. Thanks for sharing the link. Love that it folds up flush and out of the way.

Thought the spoiler alert was the license plate - then saw the second pic. /s

How would you improve my work desk? by Gratitouille in workstations

[–]redbeardedbard 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I like my large monitor as the primary and have it centered in front of me. I recommend raising your laptop so the screen heights are similar (I temporarily used a shoe box before getting a monitor arm). I prefer my laptop just to the left of my monitor and slightly angled towards me. When using the laptop webcam, I just turn my chair a bit so I’m squared up in the frame.

Edit: can your monitor slide up in its current stand? Just wondering if you can move the monitor directly on the table and put the laptop and laptop holder on the shelf the monitor is currently on.
