My keyboard is the NuPhy Air75 V2 with low-profile keys and the corporate’s personal Cowberry linear mechanical switches. I can see why NuPhy named this particular mechanical keyboard line “Air” as a result of it does really feel like you’re typing on air. The keys require little actuation power, and so they make a nice and lightweight thunk sound after they backside out — even the area bar, which has among the greatest key stabilizers I’ve ever seen on a keyboard. I’ve used too many mechanical keyboards with wobbly, pingy area bars.

My associate gave me his Logitech MX Grasp 3 mouse as a result of the gaming mouse I used to be utilizing earlier than (and the three gaming mice earlier than that) began giving me wrist pains. My pinky would lock up typically, too.

I don’t have any of these points with the MX Grasp 3. It’s ergonomically designed to maintain your wrist in a pure place, and regardless that it’s such a small adjustment in comparison with how my wrist is positioned with a normal gaming mouse, it was sufficient to fully do away with the ache. Now, I take advantage of this mouse for every little thing, even gaming.

I’ve obtained an Elgato Key Mild, which helps when it will get darkish in my workplace and I must look presentable on a Zoom name. It’s additionally only a nice mild for once I’m journaling at night time. (I’ve obtained a smaller lamp on the opposite aspect for night or cloudy days.) 

I obtained the Insta360 Hyperlink webcam as a result of I used to be bored with wanting like a blurry potato on calls. This one is neat as a result of it tracks your place, although typically it doesn’t all the time work the way in which it’s alleged to and my coworkers get to take a look at a close-up of my brow.

My fundamental display is an Asus VG27AQ. One of many largest causes I purchased it was its small, squarish stand. That method, it may well perch atop my NAS on the good head peak with simply sufficient room for my mini desktop and water bottle beneath. Too many trendy displays have huge V-shaped stands that make them exhausting to prop up, I’m afraid.

I personal about seven fountain pens. Most of them are very cheap, and a few have been so low-cost they’re kinda crappy and barely value futzing with (the standard dangerous preliminary purchases you later be taught from). The 2 I take advantage of essentially the most are the Lamy Safari with a advantageous nib and the TWSBI Eco with an extra-fine nib. I write a bit small, so these work properly for me. 

This lovable Elago W3 stand for my Apple Watch seems like an authentic Macintosh.
