Almost every KZfaqr with a desk setup has a desk shelf to “get the monitor at a good height with additional storage” while I’m too short for such functionalities😂

I’ve used a sit stand desk soft about 18 months and love it. I don’t stand for a long time, but it really makes a difference. I also bought a stand mat. A real game changer, and supports your feet and ankles. Otherwise, my desk is pretty similar to yours, although I don’t have a shelf.

+1 for the keyboard!! i hate it when people think mechanical keyboards are just built for gaming, i honestly think people who work in corporate or have to deal with a lot of spreadsheets/documents would benefit greatly from a comfy typing experience. e.g. when i used my mum's cheap office keyboard my hands got tired way more easily while writing my papers

Agree with the standing desk wobbles. If you really want that flexibility, you’d have to buy proper office-version ones that have big stable legs that have support bars across or just settle with moving every now and then to stand without working. My desk in the office has that and does not wobble even at my height (5’2”)

Definitely some great recommendations and amazing job breaking it down! One product though I can never get behind is the MX Master 3S in white. I recently picked it up and despite having fairly clean hands (over use of hand sanitizer), it seems to discolor the mouse quite a bit after a few days. Went back to the trackpad but I think we need a good competitor to the MX Master 3 in this space.

Yep, mine does this too. I use some wet wipes on it and it gets rid of most of the dirt super quickly. But yeah, far from ideal

It is unfortunate that so many of the sit stand desks that most folks get are so bad at the standing part. I’m in the US and here folks tend to get garbage desks from Fully and Uplift. Sitting down they are a tiny bit wobbly but at standing height they are terrible and folks think sit stand is a bad idea. You have to find a desk that works well at standing height. I have found deskhaus works well but again I am in the US so don’t think that helps a uk audience. Great video though.

Keychron m6 is a better mouse than mx master imo, more complete features, superior sensor and connectivity options, the lighter weight is a lot more comfy for long time use too! Not to mention it doesn't have the rubber aging issues as well as the unfixable staining issue on the white/ grey models (which was really turned me away from the mx master 3s) while being about half the price...The upsides for the mx masters are the more premium build quality, and probably some of the software features with the logi software, but it still doesn't justify the high price of the mx master for me...

I personally think that for creators that are on Mac, the Magic Trackpad 2 and the G502X are a MUCH better option that the MX Master. The MX Master, and other MX/basic Logi mice have very bad polling rates and accuracy. They're *fine* but getting a mouse that has a high polling rate and a gaming grade sensor is a much better option, in my opinion. It's just a very expensive option, so an MX Master will always be a good enough device to get by on.

I've been working full-time as a Software Engineer for over 14 years, working from home the last 5, and something I realized is that desks, and even external monitors, are incredibly overrated. Give me a fast laptop and I'll be flying. I'm equally efficient from the train, a park, a cafe, and office, while my coworkers are instantly and noticeably crippled being away from their multi-peripheral setups.
