Great info. I set mine up w/ the least bells and whistles possible. I have what I want/need to work both for work and home things. I just got a Google speaker and have automated a few things w/ voice commands. When I say good morning, it turns my lights and my monitors on, tells me my schedule, then plays my favorite radio station. If have a smart outlet on a stand alone fan so if I get hot I simply say, "its getting hot in here" and it turns on the fan. If I say "I'm cool enough" it turns it off. Sounds lazy but when you are deep into a project it saves you from distraction of getting up to turn on the fan.

I keep wondering about all those other "Minimal Desk SetUp tour 2023" and everyone seems to have a budget of around $15.000,- which they can spend again and again every other month or so. The only thing I was missing in your desk setup was a monitor light... unless you mentioned it, and I forgot about it. Anyway, great video!

Thanks! I guess it's "easy" to do office remodels every few months if all your gear is free from sponsors, etc. Unfortunately (or perhaps fortunately) I pay for all my stuff. On the monitor light, I don't have one. I see that "everyone" (at least on KZbin) seems to have one and I've looked at them, but still can't quite figure out why I need one. I might give it a try to see if I'm missing something.

With your amount of writing, i'd highly recommend you get an ortholinear keyboard. They make lots of silent switches for mech keyboards too that still give you choice of pressure, tactility, etc. With a few shortcuts (home row arrow keys, for example) you'll never go back

I'd never heard of ortholinear keyboards, and just got back from a quick trip to that rabbit hole and came away interested. Any options you'd recommend with an eye toward ergonomics and lots of writing? Do you end up missing the numeric keypad (I do a fair amount of spreadsheets)? It also seems like wireless options are lacking? Thanks for the comment. I always love learning about stuff I never knew existed!

@@TheBigHeavy yes, there are some wireless options (1 custom, 1 Kickstarter). The most ergo ones have a 'key well' where your fingers can sink in a bit: Keyboardio, Kinesis, Keymouse, Naya tech (end game). Personally, I prefer the short travel keys but they're just catching on so not a lot of options. I love my ZSA moonlander and their app is probably the best place to start. You can quickly adjust your settings and try other users configs and ideas. It's also easy to use and incredibly powerful. Don't miss a number pad as I have a layer with 1-0 on my home row fingers. Some people add a number pad layer (hold down or toggle a key and right half of keyboard turns into number pad). Once you see how much better it is you'll never go back 😁

I like this approach compared to some of the other ones I’ve seen. I’m a software developer and I may be doing some more working from home soon while our office goes through construction so I’m revamping my desk at home (it hasn’t changed much since the beginning of COVID revamp). I need functional first and aesthetics second, not the other way around So many of the influencers on here have been given super expensive products for free to review and I wonder if they’d actually buy these products that they’re recommending. We have different needs and I think my setup will look pretty different from yours but I found this useful and refreshing. Thank you! I know it’s just personal preference but I actually do like mechanical keyboards but not super loud. Part of it is my hands feel better when I use them and I’m making plans to make a dactyl manuform, hopefully soon! Maybe I’ll check out some silent switches for the office
@TheBigHeavy
@TheBigHeavy 7 ай бұрын
Thanks for the comment and glad you enjoyed the video! I’ve had a couple people tell me I’ve been too harsh on dismissing mechanical keyboards, and I’ve done some early research and might give them a try. I haven’t gotten over the cord (in some cases multiple cords) however, and have a bit of “analysis paralysis” on which switches to use, but it’s definitely in my queue of “someday” projects. The “free stuff” problem is challenging. I occasionally accept free stuff (every man has a price and mine is low) and I try not to let that bias me, but I don’t think it’s possible. I’d probably love a Ferrari if I didn’t have to pay for it, but that’s not a realistic assessment. Good luck with your desk setup and let us know what you come up with. I do have the luxury (and yes, I know this sounds bougie) of having 2 home offices, so check out some of the other videos where I’ve tried to combine function and aesthetics, despite having a rather poor “design sensibility.”

@TheBigHeavy every corporation, marketing strategist, and advertising teams such on TV and magazines is built on consumerism. I think influences are brilliant to have created a persona that is marketable to the extent of making millions.

Best wishes to you

@@vanilla232 I agree much of our commercial society is built on consumerism, arguably a less-than-wonderful state for humanity. I could wring my hands about this state of affairs and assume the world is doomed, or laugh about its foibles. I still disagree that laughing at a group is a "horrible belief system." I've had a good laugh about the goofy aspects of my profession, ethnic and religious background, and general goofiness that humans of all stripes exhibit. If it was unreasonable to laugh about this stuff, then we'd live in a world devoid of comedy that I'd find rather repressive. I have friends that have lived under regimes that attempted to stamp out all free speech and criticism of authority, and their only refuge was humor--is that a horrible belief system? Like all things, this can be taken to a cruel extreme, but I think a binary view of the world that everything is either righteous or "horrible" misses the wonderful nuances that make life interesting. Have a great day, and perhaps I'll become an influencer for the glass casket business. Do you think I'll be successful? Remains to be seen...

The “magic” of the USB-C connection to the laptop is that I can have a bunch of stuff (including the webcams) connected to the monitor’s USB inputs, and then when I plug a single cable into my laptop I get power, webcam, wireless keyboard, etc. This functionality isn’t on every monitor and it seems you usually have to look at somewhat more expensive monitors, but I find the “one cable” aspect to be extremely worthwhile. From the laptop’s perspective, you’re just plugging into a standard USB hub.

As someone that first used computers with IBM Model M keyboards I’ve never quite understood the fascination with the “clickety clackety” although there was something soothing about walking into an old school office and hearing a dozen of those things clacking away.

The problem with productivity advise and “desk setups” on KZbin is that everyone’s job is KZbinr and they are self employed which represents almost no viewers lol They make videos like “work 3 hours per day”

I guess “work 3 hours a day” is nice work if you can get it! Until my boss man let’s me spend most of my day at the gym and creating videos I’ll optimize for real work!

You do know that not all mechanical keyboards are loud, or have rgb....right? There's everything from silenced linear/tactile switches to actual super loud clicky switches, the thing is you can actually choose these things and a million other things for that matter and for someone that types all day - everyday, this is way better than a mushy membrane keyboard.

Yes, I'm aware of the different levels of "clickiness." The problem is that I haven't found my "unicorn" of decent ergo shape, wireless that works well, and really nice tactile feel all in one keyboard. Does such a thing exist? I'm also a bit biased in that my first computing experience was on IBM XT/AT with the super-clicky IBM keyboards of the day. I will say their clickiness was only surpassed by their reliability.

With the monitor decision you could just ssh into the other machine. This is probably what I'm going to do with everything else that isn't my main machine e.g. Raspberry Pi, laptop. The home office tour is basically "yo look at my desk". Which is the main part of the office but I was looking for whole room inspiration.

That would require that I actually cleanup the whole space 😎. I do have something about the build of my detached workshop/office space in the works, so “watch this space” as they say. Agree on the ssh although that doesn’t help as much for a company-managed computer that runs windows or a similar GUI.

I'm sure they "work," but they probably have a different definition of "work" than slinging slides, excelling at excel, and running my trap on teams, which is 90% of my job.

Maybe the reason you not making money of your videos the because you start the video putting people down just because they have a different setup than yours, plenty of people have “real jobs” and have cook desk stations

Each time you said "couple or 3" irked me. Sorry. Nothing personal but all the ways people say "2 or 3" without just saying "2 or 3" or "a few" have always bugged me: "couple 3", "couple few", "couple 2 3" and on and on. Why are we humans so weird?
