My setup hasnāt changed much since Jan-22.
- Keyboard is now a Keychron K5 Pro
- Mouse is now an MX Master 3
- Main display is now an LG 32UN650-W
- Speakers upgraded to Q Acoustic 3010s
Couldnāt be bothered to post an updated pic as it would involve tidying up!
All my Prime Day purchases have arrived now and so thought I would share my updated desk setup (seemed the best place to do it ). Glass mousepad, 100% worth it. Feels so much more smooth and pleasant to use. Iām also glad I went for the red one over the white or black⦠Those didnāt have the large āSuperā branding on them and red is my favourite colour and this red is a particularly vibrant and pleasant oneā¦
gasp
How very dare you!
Edit - @ndrw you deleted your message and now I look like Iām clutching my pearls over nothing!
Glitch in the matrix
They do a black and white one and those donāt have the big Super writing on them.
Personally I really like it. Maybe it is because it looks a bit like Supreme branding⦠Never owned anything from Supreme
Iām currently in the market for a new desk chair.
Iāve been admiring the Slouch chairs for a while but wanted to see if anyone had any other good recommendations?
Ideally sub-Ā£300 if possible but happy to pay slightly more!
Work are giving me Ā£100 towards a new desk, I donāt want one with too much depth, and itāll go in my dining area.
Any suggestions? Wood/wood effect to fit the rest would be good.
IKEA have some reasonable offerings
For a cheap and effective solution I still think the old Linnmon, Adlis legs and Alex drawer unit set up is the one to go for.
Plus other than constructing the drawer unit thereās hardly any building that needs doing.
Another +1 for IKEA.
The Lagkapten table top is completely fine. It comes as an option in a slightly smaller 120x60 size too at £20 which is great for smaller spaces.
I did have the standard legs on it, but Iāve swapped them out for the Flexispot E1 motorised legs.
You could buy a more expensive desk top, but Iād say unless youāre going solid wood or metal, thereās no point looking anywhere else other than Ikea.
IKEA also have a really good dual monitor support, Iād recommend that too.
100pc agree.
Iāve a set of legs from Amazon (standing desk) which were about Ā£80 and an Ikea Table Top which was about Ā£20. Itās survived a house move and other things and still more than adequate
I havenāt got that one but I bought a set of legs off Amazon about 3 years ago and paired it with an Ikea Table top. About Ā£120 all in. And still going strong now. I wish Iād gone for one with a memory pre-set but other than that I canāt fault it.
Another vote for Flexispot (ordered direct from them) - I have the E5 and have had no issues with it
Employers tend to do that anyway
Iād do it on one leg if it was a 30% pay rise.
What I do from my bed is nobodies business
The 2025 fillip2k desk setup
The christmas decorations are waiting for 12th night to be taken down (plus I like having them up so eeking out as much āfestivenessā as I can)
Its served me very well over the years and been through a few different configurations since I first put it together!
Okay question for the group. Moving in with a partner, new desk ordered.
Between us we have two windows laptops (both with hdmi and usb-c), a MacBook (just usb-c), and a desktop (all possible connections!).
I want to set one widescreen monitor up and my keyboard/mouse, webcam and mic (all usb-a) with the easiest way possible to move between them. Iām thinking a single USB docking station thatās powered (to charge phones etc) next to a laptop stand and with a USB-C extension to connect it to the desktop? Is that the best way? And any recommendations for such a docking station? Donāt mind paying a decent amount for it.
*edit: significant bonus if the docking station looks half decent
