Hello. My name is Miguel and I'm from Portugal. A week ago, by coincidence, your Cozy Gaming Desk Setup video appeared on my suggestions feed and I clicked to watch it. I also have a switch and the pastel tones on your console caught my attention. When I started watching I felt something awaken inside me. My daily routine is a mess and somehow your video brought calm and relax to my stressed mind. Since then, whenever I have a little free time to relax I find myself looking for a different video of you to watch and it relaxes me a lot. Please keep up the wonderful work you do❤️ Thank you for your attention. Have a wonderful day ☺️

[@virgovlog-vlog]

Thanks Maisy! I've been trying to figure out why I always sit in a bad posture and it hurts my entire body, this video explains it clearly and I love seeing the cosy aesthetic of your work station. They always motivate me to decor my work desk and make me more productive ☺

[@Keepit10011]

Been taking notes mentally, I feel like this should be a class. It's really helpful to us content creators to emphasize health over functionality. Sure the set up works as needed but is it optimizing another area we tend to overlook. I notice how your body language is calmer than let's say an average person and it's just you are happier in your work space. It's cool and really good to show this to people.

[@lessbren]

I just found this channel and am so obsessed. Your videos are so inspiring and relaxing, even my boyfriend loves watching these with me now for inspiration. Thank you so much for posting! I can’t tell you how valuable vlogs like these from women in tech are during my own journey. A million thanks!!!

[@tebetheia]

Your videos make me so calm! Hope to cultivate a relaxing and productive setup just like you have! ☺️

[@maisyleigh]

so happy to hear this! i hope my tips & ideas help!

[@shezasaeed2935]

I NEEDED this. I work from home and recently I've noticed my neck and wrists feel stiff after I leave my desk. This video has helped me in shifting up my setup! Thanks a lot!

[@joshitamylavarapu4357]

I really love these podcast-type videos and hope you post more similar to these!! tysm maisy!

[@ungracefullygracee]

aww this is exactly what i needed to watch! i definitely need to work on my posture while working. i tend to slouch in bed all day and have unhealthy posture habits, but these tips seem to be really helpful! I love how you mention that breaks is just as important as working ergonomically because mental + physical health = healthy wellbeing! :) i just sat up and fixed my posture after watching your video, so i'm off to a good start already! hehe :)

[@EdgarFroes]

Because of your content last week I've decided do change my working environment and I bought a more of things that will help me with that. Thanks!

[@sincerelykimi9628]

Your setup is so pacefully, love it

[@Broncosfanvp]

You have such a calm presence. Thank you for your tips on bettering our work from home environment. Mind and body as equals.

[@valeriepuig4084]

Thank you so much for making these videos. I've found this in particular very helpful and since I'm beginning to built my own desk setup i'll keep in mind all your tips and ideas! 🤗

[@user-js5ly2wx4l]

Really helpful tips! I sometimes find myself curled in the prawn position with shoulders rotated forward and forward head posture after a long days work so really have to be mindful of shifting postural positions throughout the day. I do keep to my short bouts of exercises in the evening though focusing some time on moves to retract my scapulars back and down to counteract the effects of sitting in that shrimp position and I feel much energised afterwards. I also try to follow the 20-20-29 rule, that is, every 20 mins, stare outside in the distance at something 20 feet away for 20 seconds. That has helped to relax my eyes, and with migraines but difficult to stick with when you have a deadline approaching. What I found really life changing but so simple to implement is a 15 to 20 minute brisk walk after lunch and dinner with my other half either outside or on my treadmill which has helped us both with our concentration levels and avoid the dreaded food coma by keeping our blood sugar levels balanced. We keep to 55 to 70% of MHR though as the focus isn't on exhausting ourselves and that has done wonders I think for my mental health, aerobic fitness, productivity as well as sleep - we're designed to move after all. Think there's also now empirical studies showing the anti-ageing effects of cardio so that's a bonus.

[@squarepeg4435]

What a thorough, helpful video. I really appreciate these practical tips. And your setup looks beautiful and minimal, too. Keep up the great work!

[@analiviafariademedeiros4235]

Great and honest tips!

[@ryan42794]

Very good setup. You are very right about changing posture, your best posture is your next posture. I also recommend doing some neck exercises such as chin tucks and chin retractions to go and help with forward neck posture

[@senorargentina1239]

Very well-made video, thank you.

Wo i really like this setup even i the chair is more flexible love it.

[@ViciousVioletteLV]

It’s unfortunate companies aren’t willing to spend the money for the well-being of their employees. I asked my company if I could purchase my own chair to use and it was rejected. I had to go to my doctor to get it approved. I did the same for my standing desk. Great video.

[@Scragg-]

That's a huge red flag, you should start looking for another job.

[@karmin393]

i really recommend blue light-blocking glasses! I use the gunnar brand, helps so much

Someday, I'm hoping to get a standing desk! Just a bit pricey at the moment but a good motivation for me to save up 😊

[@silogreen3367]

girl the chair you have costs 1,600 dollars.....

[@halesbellss]

I was debating a $300 desk chair and this comment made me realize I have valid reasons to buy a $300 chair.

[@Bilawalbhai0]

Very nice

[@jeromerusselldemusicologist]

I like the truth @8:20 Subed because of that

[@carshoesch]

Finally a ergonomic setup with an ultrawide monitor!

[@duchenedesignsolutions7036]

Wonderful video! Try an ergonomic keyboard and that will really finish your setup great! Once you use one for a week and try to back to a normal flat keyboard, you will realize how bad normal keyboard are for your wrists and forearms. It will impact you just as much as your mx mouse did.

[@seemeoutthere]

Is that hunter on the desk! Cute!!

[@maisyleigh]

hunter is my fav!

Going to need to cop a foot rest or something. Thank u Maisy!!!

How did you implement your LED lighting behind your monitor? What leds did you use?

you have both the pink and white vertical mouse? dang haha I was wondering which one I should get so thanks for showing both

[@TIMSEL232]

cuma mau bilang keren

[@fernandoa589]

Lots of guides recommend to have their arm rest aligned to the same height as their desk. I see you do that too. So do you not roll your chair under your desk when you’re away? Or do you put back down the arm rest?

[@maggiees9386]

Hi Maisy! Love watching your videos, its very interesting and calming. Just wondering how you can use Mac in your window screen. Please can i have more details about how you manage to do this? Thankyou !!

[@Psyrok-ik1lc]

hello! I'm very new and I always wondered how you guys keep your things tidy and clean. I always feel like I have too many things and not enough room and no matter how many things I throw away I still haave too much going on

[@isahbala2540]

Im gonna hire you maisy when the time comes 😎 for my future desk setup advice. if you do agree 🤩

I loved this! Question, what is the black thing on the wall behind your right shoulder?

[@nusratchowdhury6499]

Please upload a video on this topic- "ergonomic desk setup without laptop, with book ".Please please please.

[@denisemorales7630]

Where did you purchase the desk? I love it. I need that in my life. I also enjoyed all the tips so thanks for sharing.

[@mikeyverano]

I keep my yoga mat rolled out on the floor in the middle of my room where my desk / gaming setup is to have a nice stretch

[@chandasparklesastrology]

So which is the best chair? Ergonomic Chair? Absolutely great video! I subscribed

[@zwadejupiter1]

Excellent video thank you. Qu. What are the dimensions of your desk?

[@honeypotfilms6066]

More code with me videos!!

[@Shaznur1980]

Maisy what are your desks dimensions? :)

[@peruchitamolinera]

Thank you. Which microphone are you using and the stativ or holder of your microphone?.

[@offbeatkiki]

i am a big fan of vertical mouses but the logitech lift was a bit small for me. it's definitely best for smaller hands or children. the other vertical mouse i have has more of a gradual slant to the desk surface that supports the hand and wrist better.

[@XSemperIdem5]

What brand is the one you have? If I get one it needs to be for left-handed use though.

[@itztocabrie7882]

I REALLY suggest getting some blue light glasses. They are amazing and help reduce strain on the eyes while staring at screens all day

[@StardustLegacyFighter]

I think a blue light filter on your PC or phone is a lot more practical and it doesn't cost anything, however the glasses would make more sense if you watch a lot of TV at night.

[@XSemperIdem5]

@@StardustLegacyFighter is that the filter setting that makes everything look yellowish? Because that hurts my eyes so much that when I tried it I looked away and immediately went back to normal.

[@victorajayi9056]

Hey Maisy can you please do a video on your keyboard?

[@jacquelynnacopoulos1278]

Hello, Congratulations. 👍👊❤️❤️❤️❤️👏👏👏👏 Awesome. Excellent

[@ilovelearning6529]

Which color you like more? Cherry Wood or Maple?

[@StardustLegacyFighter]

You're wrong about the chair not making a difference, it actually has a significant impact on back health. I used to have midrange office chair that didn't have a lot of adjustments and the movement was very limited. After 2 hours of use, I'd get a lot of pain in my tailbone region, no matter how well I sat. When I realised that I needed a better chair, I ended up investing in a high end office chair. The difference really is night and day, especially when compared to my previous chair. The level of adjustments offered is great and because of the chair's amazing recline mechanism, movement is encouraged and not restricted.

[@Elizabeth-kn4jh]

She didn’t say that the chair doesn’t make a difference, she said your habits using the chair is more important. As you said, no matter how well you sit some chairs will be uncomfortable, but no matter the chair if you have poor posture you will damage your health and be uncomfortable.

[@daintydel4746]

Wear did you get your claw clip? Thanks!

[@gabrielsands5545]

Will you be doing any more cozy gaming videos in the future

[@evancardy1453]

Your wrong not 90 degrees that’s closing the the joint angle and is called flexion. That will create muscle tension and with time pain. See the “Neutral Posture” the arm angle is 122 degrees and leg angle is 133 degrees. The 90 Degrees came from the study from OSHA which was last updated in the late 70s things have changed. N.A.S.A has the updated chart based on neutral posture. I saw a few tweaks you need to make to your set up as well this is a classic case of miss interpretation of ergonomic standards.

[@user-js5ly2wx4l]

Enjoyed the vid. I also used the same MX mini keys. A good board but switched to a mechanical recently after watching your other vids and it feels so much better. It's just that now I can't stop buying them lol
