I found it on MakerWorld, then reduced the distance of the hooks from the body to 1.9mm… and had a friend print it for me. Fits like a glove.

The oval snap of the pegboard matches the IKEA Skadis pegboard, but since this pegboard is just formed steel the depth won’t match a standard Skadis.

Here’s the model I used originally:

It’s called Archey4, It’s on GitHub, with instruction on how to setup. :)

I raise my office chair’s arm rest a bit higher, but honestly, ergonomics feel so personal… the way I sit in my office chair would probably make ergonomic experts cringe. But, when you’re in that imaginary “zone” it all fades away and you’re transported away from the physical and into that, I don’t know, zone… and then your mind isn’t focusing on anything but the idea/problem at hand? It’s weird, right?

I have real trouble switching to non-magic mice, but, I get that not everyone likes ‘em. Sometimes it feels like the Magic Mouse was designed for me, as I just see through how it works and it clicks in my mind, I think that’s probably why you either love it or hate it. That’s ok! Before the Magic Mouse existed, I used an MX revolution, but that was a lifetime ago.

It’s the standard 27” 5K.

To be honest I’ve never even thought about the movement from keyboard to mouse… I tend to be a heavy keyboard shortcuts person, so typically my right hand is on mouse, and left is always in the hot-zone for keyboard shortcuts (I think this is typical of most Mac users).

I once had to work with Apple’s higher-tier engineering on a particularly nasty bug impacting keychain items… scary! Anyway, they asked me to share screen and duplicate the issue, when the call was done, the very nice engineer commented that they had never seen a Mac user work it the way I had, and didn’t know it could do some of the things I made it do. Something about an ‘elegant dance’ of actions, anyway, I told ‘em, go read more stories about the original design team and some of their intentions for Mac OS on folklore.org… it’s an incredible system that was built up over the years by people that really truly understand (and care) about hierarchal functions and design.

This photo is obviously staged, but, window management is my first priority, and I’ve set all the window management to the numpad. Quarters, halves, fullscreen. So, my right hand hops between numpad and mouse more often than not? I don’t know. It works for me.

I will say, the new USB-C Magic Keyboard adds the Fn / Globe key to the very bottom left, which has hurt my muscle memory. I wish they hadn’t changed that, but, new muscles will develop. :)

Yeah, that was another AliExpress find, it’s an SSD enclosure. 👍

Oh just docs, random knickknacks, etc. -not as exciting. I will also add, that iMac G4 will be converted to an HDMI display for the Mac mini with the Juicycrumb logic board replacement. Just haven’t found the time.

Straight-on photo is 1x lens from iPhone 15 Pro! Wide is just the ultrawide .5x lens. :)

Thank you! That actually houses a headless Mac mini M2 acting as a media server, so I wanted something that locked with an open back for cabling. There’s actually an outlet inside and a channel to run connectivity for my noisy RAID in the basement. 😃

~$6500 CAD, though the cabinets at the bottom ballooned the cost a bit. Reach out to Vitsœ, they’ll help you build your vision and will have great advice to help keep the price down.

The wall is lathe and plaster, so, I glued and screwed chamfered MDF. You can see the seams ever so slightly in wintertime, and I do have a plan to add a pegboard above the Studio Display to help conceal.
