Mechanical keyboard

My keyboard is the Nuphy Air75 V2 with debased floor plan keys and nan company’s ain Cowberry linear mechanical switches. I tin spot why Nuphy named this circumstantial mechanical keyboard statement “Air,” because it does consciousness for illustration you are typing connected air. The keys require small actuation force, and they make a pleasant and ray thunk sound erstwhile they bottommost retired — moreover nan spacebar, which has immoderate of nan champion cardinal stabilizers I’ve ever seen connected a keyboard. I’ve utilized excessively galore mechanical keyboards pinch wobbly, pingy spacebars.

A comfortable mouse

My partner gave maine his Logitech MX Master 3 mouse because nan gaming rodent I was utilizing earlier (and nan 3 gaming mice earlier that) started giving maine wrist pains. My pinky would fastener up sometimes, too.

I don’t person immoderate of those issues pinch nan MX Master 3. It’s ergonomically designed to support your wrist successful a earthy position, and moreover though it’s specified a mini accommodation compared to really my wrist is positioned pinch a modular gaming mouse, it was capable to wholly get free of nan pain. Now, I usage this rodent for everything, moreover gaming.

Some other lighting

I’ve sewage an Elgato Key Light, which helps erstwhile it gets acheronian successful my agency and I request to look presentable connected a Zoom call. It’s besides conscionable a awesome ray for erstwhile I’m journaling astatine night. (I’ve sewage a smaller lamp connected nan different broadside for evening aliases cloudy days.) 

Unblurring video calls

I sewage the Insta360 Link webcam because I was tired of looking for illustration a blurry murphy connected calls. This 1 is neat because it tracks your position, though sometimes it doesn’t ever activity nan measurement it’s expected to and my coworkers get to look astatine a close-up of my forehead. 

A perfectly placed screen

My main surface is an Asus VG27AQ. One of nan biggest reasons I bought it was its small, squarish stand. That way, it tin perch atop my NAS astatine nan cleanable caput tallness pinch conscionable capable room for my mini desktop and h2o vessel underneath. Too galore modern monitors person large V-shaped stands that make them difficult to prop up, I’m afraid.

A fountain of pens

I ain astir 7 fountain pens. Most of them are very inexpensive, and immoderate were truthful inexpensive they’re kinda crappy and hardly worthy futzing pinch (the emblematic bad first purchases you later study from). The 2 I usage nan astir are the Lamy Safari with a good nib and the TWSBI Eco with an extra-fine nib. I constitute a spot small, truthful these activity good for me. 

An old-fashioned watch stand

This adorable elago W3 stand for my Apple Watch looks for illustration an original Macintosh.

Working pinch wireless headphones

I walk nan workday astatine my Vox laptop, a 2017 MacBook Pro, pinch a fewer accessories, including a brace of Sony WH-1000XM4 wireless headphones that my colleague Chris Welch reviewed.
