I don’t get the purpose though. Is it for health reasons or does it just feel more comfortable for some people to stand? I thoroughly enjoy sitting down, as much as humanly possible.

That’s fair enough. I still don’t think it would appeal to me. It takes a lot of convincing for me to remove my backside from my Aeron. I guess being able to adjust the desk height for my sitting position might be nice though. I can see the advantage there.
I’ve had mine a few months now, I don’t use mine at the office much since I’m up and about a lot anyway, but I use it at home a lot more.
I have to lead a lot of video calls and I’m finding that I prefer hosting meetings when I’m standing so that’s what I tend to use mine for at the moment.
Nice. Out of interest, do you also have a heat gun/station? I need something for easier IC desoldering (approx 450-550c temps).
iFixit stuff is good, I have their Pro toolkit.

No I only need to make small repairs out in the field so everything I need to do can be done with a small soldering iron.
Sounds like you needs are a bit more complex than mine

Cable management on a standing / height adjustable desk would make me queasy 
Checkout the secret labs desk then, cable tidy heaven
I love their desks, and would have one to go with my chair, however they’re not big enough 
I have a short length of wood glued to the bottom of the desk and a 6-gang strip attached to it using the hooks that are often on the back of adapters.
This then is free to handle all the cable management:
The only cable I have running to the ground is the power cable going to the 6-gang.

Perhaps add a USB-C with DP alt mode port to the PC, then can do single cable to a monitor and peripherals hub on the desk.
What is Amazon’s definition of “Good”. I wouldn’t call that “Good” condition, the PCB is bent (or is that just the photo?). Can you return?
Even if your testing checks out, a bend in the PCB could cause issues later. Once the structural integrity is compromised (
), it’s going to have a higher chance of failure later.
Do keep us up to date though. At least you bought from Amazon and not AliExpress, I dare say returns are a little easier with Amazon.

I think that’s for the best. If some of the routes are damaged in the bent areas, it’s even plausible that the board could end up shorting your CPU and other components, causing damage.
For the sake of £33, it could end up costing you a lot more.
Shocking how some people treat their electronics though. Clearly don’t care.

My needs were more or less the same. Two monitors, and any other crap that’s accumulated on the desk.
I went for the EF-1. It’s more than good enough at a much more reasonable price point.

I’ve just replaced Poppy’s PitPat with a tractive tracker.
Her PitPat has died for the second time in a year, and she lost one so under their policy they won’t replace it (even tho it seems to be a fairly common problem as it’s happened twice to me, and once to my Dad - we bought them at the same time).
My brother has been recommending a Tractive one for ages. The purchase price was a fair bit cheaper than the PitPat and as it doesn’t charge wirelessly I’m hoping it’s more reliable. The tracking is always on too, whereas the PitPat requires you to wait up to 5 minutes.
I’ve actually had a bit of a tech purchasing month because I’ve ordered a new 34” Ultrawide screen monitor for my desk and I’ve just ordered a new Apple Pencil after losing my last one, but I don’t know if that counts

Any Quest 3 owners on here? If so, thoughts?
I’m tempted but fear it’s one of those things I might use a few times and it will then gather dust…
Edit: I will take the lack of replies as a bad sign and give it a miss.

I’ve been thinking the same for a while as I would like some of the Golf Sims but would probably tire of it after a few games
