Always here when you talk office stuff. I can never wrap my mind around not wanting your home office to be as efficient, comfortable, and personal as possible. I’ve picked up quite a few things you’ve recommended through past videos.

[@joshfenn]

Always glad to see you around here, thanks for the support!

[@FreakStormer]

This is great Josh. Been looking to redo my home desk setup this year and this is exactly what I needed.

[@joshfenn]

Happy to hear it, thanks for the support!

[@doubledecker1094]

Another great video, thanks Josh, please keep them coming! I'm also a big fan of Anker and Soundcore, amazing value.

[@joshfenn]

The soundcore stuff is so solid! That speaker has no business being $80, easily competes in a 100-200 range. Thanks for the support!

[@stevenwilson-head-yl2zj]

Hi Josh, new to this channel but just wanted to say the content is amazing! I have been a minimalist for about 2 years now and have found some of your older videos very helpful

[@joshfenn]

Thanks so much for the kind words and support! Glad the minimalism videos have been helpful for you, I shifted things a bit away from that these days due to a ton of negativity and gatekeeping but still a huge part of my personal life.

[@stevenwilson-head-yl2zj]

Loved your minimalist style (bought a simple black short peak baseball cap similar to yours) I love it but my wife hates it Keep up the good work and would love to discuss minimal living with you anytime

[@twowheelutopia]

Brilliant content as always Josh. I'd love to see that video running through your collection of caps/headwear?

[@joshfenn]

Might do this as a short sometime soon!

[@harunomiya]

Its always nice to see a new video from you.

[@joshfenn]

So glad to hear it, thanks for the support on this one!

[@benturner8055]

I really enjoy your videos man! Just a great style :)

[@joshfenn]

Thanks so much, glad you’re enjoying them!

[@robthewaywardwoodworker9956]

Good stuff again, Josh. Those SSD hard drives are really affordable. My daughter has a KZbin channel with lots of footage, so I'll have to let her know about those. She just hiked 4 months on the Hexatrek through France. Very cool.

[@joshfenn]

Haven’t heard of that hike before, that’s so great! 4 months is no joke, I’m usually more of a weekend warrior type of backpacker but would love to hit some longer trails.

[@bradymckinney1712]

I have the now discontinued Soundcore Flare 2 speaker. Absolutely love it! When it bites the bullet eventually, I'm definitely getting Soundcore again!

[@joshfenn]

This motion 300 has been really great. I’ve had a few soundcore headphones but this is my first of their speakers - extremely impressed

[@jamesvornhagen8846]

great inspo, thanks!

[@joshfenn]

No problem, appreciate the support on this one!

[@LumenSeeker]

Beautiful job man!

[@joshfenn]

Thanks so much!

[@dipont311]

I am in between when choosing the proper low profile wireless mechanical keyboards... Your recommendation made me choose the right (and at the same time lower cost) wireless keyboards

[@joshfenn]

Glad to hear it!

[@Naxxization]

that desk is dope!

[@joshfenn]

It’s been so great, love the new larger size for my main desk

[@dariosala508]

Any suggestions for docking stations or KVM switches? Looking for one but can’t seem to find any good recommendations Thanks!

[@joshfenn]

No experience with KVM switches personally, but I’m pretty sure I saw something on LTT’s channel somewhat recently covering them, might be worth a check over there! For docking, I’ve been using the caldigit ts3+ for a while and have been really happy with it!

[@Pablo_Squivl]

Buen video, saludos!!

[@joshfenn]

Thank you!

[@alphaeyes9368]

What’s the stand you’re using on your bookshelf speakers? Thanks and great video

[@joshfenn]

They’re from Kanto! Found on Amazon a while back, they’ve been great for me. amzn.to/42hxRck

[@Scleavers]

I'm nearing a year with my Gerber prybrid living in my watch pocket. Great tool, I got mine at a steep discount. I think it goes today around $20

[@joshfenn]

It’s been really solid for me! Useful and cheap is always a welcomed combo

[@hope2882]

Sorry i don’t comment, I’ll comment more. Thanks for making these videos😊

[@joshfenn]

Thank you! Almost cut that section out because I didn’t want to sound like a jerk, but it was great hearing from so many of you. Makes sense that I’d attract a quiet group like myself but am always happy to see more comments around here.

[@KilldeerMedia]

I like the Gerber Utility Blade but the lack of pocket clip kills me. Enjoy your work my man!

[@joshfenn]

Funny enough, they just released a clip version right after I recorded this! Seems to be live and available on their site officially

[@SamFigueroa]

Has anyone ever told you, that you look like you could be Garand Thumb's brother? That Gerber multi-tool looks like an instant cop.

[@joshfenn]

Haven’t heard that one before but I think I can see it!

[@Prophecy8445]

Great Video. What monitor light do you use. I'm trying to find out if there are any good alternatives to the BenQ, or should I just grab that one.

[@joshfenn]

That’s what I’ve got! I think they have a newer one but it’s the screen bar plus. Covered it in a previous video so I skipped over it this time but it’s so great. 3 years in and still going strong.

[@wajical]

Who does #2 work for? Josh Fenn, thanks for the ideas. the desk tray has been something I have been considering with all the pens and stuff that roll around on my desk.

[@joshfenn]

Utility blades are great if you get packages or anything on a regular basis. Blades are replaceable and inexpensive, comes in handy quite often if you need to cut/open things frequently

[@wajical]

@@joshfenn I have a Leatherman Micra in the original leather sheath in my desk caddy. Love that little multi tool. It has come in hand for all sorts of stuff. After 20+ years the blade is still usable, surprisingly.

[@joshfenn]

That’s great! I’ve had a wave plus for a few years and love it, definitely can’t go wrong with leatherman.

[@andrewwilson1981]

Hi, where did you get your desk pad from please?

[@joshfenn]

In front of the camera is this cutting mat from Alvin: amzn.to/3Uis5Fv and on my proper work desk is a wool mat from grovemade. I’ve got a code in the description for grovemade I think as well. Hope this helps!

[@businessalchemy963]

2 questions josh. 1 what's your hat i love it. 2. Where can i find that sesk mat

[@joshfenn]

Seems to be sold out now but that hat was from ampal creative! Here’s the link: www.theampalcreative.com/products/wild-places-strapback-olive The desk mat is still available though: amzn.to/4a9OQ2K

[@Kiki-D-Kimono]

Hi friend- can you reccomend someone who does EDC/WFH/office tech for those of us living in an Android world?

[@joshfenn]

Don’t know anyone off the top of my head, but outside of MagSafe items I don’t talk much about iOS/Mac specific stuff. Linus Tech Tips is probably your best bet for android/windows content though

[@Naxxization]

Dude get a Leatherman MUT. i got that and it epic!

[@joshfenn]

Looks great! I’ve got a wave+ I’ve been really happy with but I’ve been thinking about expanding a bit sometime soon

[@boyafraidire]

Would you not consider moving the keyboard and mouse a bit further up the desk and getting a wrist rest to help when typing for long periods?

[@joshfenn]

I actually tried one out a while ago and had trouble adjusting to it. Probably would be better for ergonomics to give it another shot though sometime

[@hakadr]

I put my incharge-cable (1ft) in adrawer as the usb-c fitting started to get wobbly and not connect correctly, just after 6 mnths of use :

[@joshfenn]

Sorry to hear you had trouble with it! I was really concerned with durability when I first got it but have had zero issues for the past two years using it

[@therealsito13]

Did you announce the winner for your giveaway away last week?

[@joshfenn]

I did! Reached out to the winner this morning. Hope to do another sometime soon

[@alimfuzzy]

In still surprised how many new products (or recently released) still use micro usb

[@joshfenn]

I know! Still hoping for all usb-c at some point, I’ve got a few holdout items still

[@saidchammas]

is the blurry/fuzzy main camera intentional?

[@joshfenn]

Accident actually! Got some new gear recently, still working out the kinks as I get situated with everything

[@dean_nicholas]

Great video dude, one thing I would say is the glare effect is a little distracting, and I think you can lower the ISO on your talking head shots and they would love really cool.

[@joshfenn]

Thanks for the feedback! Totally agree actually, messed something up when I was filming and didn’t realize. Got some new gear and changed my workflow a bit, still working out the kinks.

[@dean_nicholas]

@@joshfenn keep it going dude, wish I had the confidence to post.

[@joshfenn]

I totally get it! Took a lot of adjusting for me, I’ve never been someone to like a lot of attention or spotlight. Really fun once you start to get past it though!

[@Arctic3929]

I can see you got the PS5! If you’re going to play The last of us game it is really good,and TV series is amazing. The storylines are pretty much the same which I thought was quite cool!

[@joshfenn]

Good eye! My family all pitched in and got me one for Christmas which was incredible. TLOU and Ghost of Tsushima have been at the top of my wish list for when/if I ever get one. Played through TLOU pt 1 right away and loved it. Just finished the show too and am waiting for the remaster release on the 18th to play part 2. Such an incredible game and story, show was excellent too!

[@riceboy927]

What deskmat is that

[@joshfenn]

In front of the camera is this cutting mat: amzn.to/41WNl5w and the one on my main desk setup is the dark wool desk mat from grovemade.

[@kyleagg78]

My incharge dongles fall off very easily so i never use it because it will become disconnected and not even realize it.

[@joshfenn]

I was really worried about this when I first tested it but never ran into an issue, bummer that it hasn’t been working for you!

[@B0uff0s]

whenever i hear someone go, i have this tool that does this job, but the one i got is too good to do it thus i take a lesser one to do it, i roll my eyes. You do not want to gunk up your "nice knife"? why you got it then? to shred paper?

[@joshfenn]

Definitely don’t have knives just for shredding paper lol. I get what you’re saying, but being lucky enough to own multiples it is nice to have different blades for specific use cases. The utility blade works a lot better to cut boxes since the length is adjustable too, but following your logic we should all probably just own a chef’s knife to cut food, boxes, and whatever else we might need.

[@B0uff0s]

@@joshfenn by my logic you should just carry a sword and not a chef's knife. But not a very good sword, so you can use it on less worthy stuff too. on second though make it a halberd so you can do everything from a distance.

[@AnthonyProductions0]

dudes gotta be using a 350% cinebloom, jesus christ dude ur skin is blooming like a light source should

[@joshfenn]

Haha I just swapped out some gear right before this video and made a mistake, definitely not that much bloom on purpose.

[@aasuncioniii]

2?

[@joshfenn]

Did you have a question about the utility blade?

[@aasuncioniii]

@@joshfenn It looks great, too bad they don't ship here in The Philippines.

[@joshfenn]

That’s too bad! I think they sell on Amazon too, maybe there? Any utility blade would get the job done too though if you can find something similar

[@jonathonnordyke5370]

#1?

[@joshfenn]

Did you have a question about the cable?

[@Seanonyoutube]

your yearly consumerism update

[@joshfenn]

Why would you click on a product video if you don’t want to see it?

[@Seanonyoutube]

@@joshfenn i’m an addict of consumerism

[@Sitoshinakamoto]

⁠@@joshfennoh man we WANTED to see it

[@coffeechatsandwalks3976]

Lol

[@blakemccorkle18]

​@@joshfennhe didn't say consumerism is a bad thing 😊.
