My 2024 DREAM Desk Setup & Gaming Setup! Except for...

[@Veo87]

So many desk setup videos keep suggesting some ridiculously expensive stuff. That's not a problem in principle, since there are plenty of people out there who don't mind spending the money and are looking for what to buy for their desk setups, but I appreciate the fact that there's someone out there suggesting relatively cheaper options.

[@Ideal-Setup]

Thanks for watching and I agree with your comment. Most setups we see have taken a long time and lots of hard work to be able to afford. The most important thing in a setup is that it works for you and you can upgrade over time if you feel you need to. I personally geek out over new tech that might apply to me, but need to be strategic with what I purchase like everyone else.

[@TheOrdinaryTechGuy]

I'm working on my own and staying away from these crazy priced items! Showing a much more obtainable space for normal every day people. Not getting any of these crazy priced items that they get for free.

[@mujtaba2878]

bros setup is so simple no flashy RGB all the things shown are incredibly functional and money well spent unlike other reviewers which go all out spending tons of money just for gimmicky stuff, loved to see some actual thought put into work behind this setup within a budget.

[@Ideal-Setup]

Thanks bro! It was a slow process of figuring out what works and where to spend the budget little by little. Appreciate you watching!

[@Ideal-Setup]

Thanks man! And thank you for watching!

[@mistoriver]

I have same pair - mx master 3 and deltahub carpio 2.0, but I actually had a problem with pain in my wrist _before_ I tried carpio (with any mouse after 6-8 hours of work), and it kinda helped me to get rid of this pain. I think it depends on lot of things - your mouse movement habits, your mouse grip, and if you are ok without wrist rest stuff - no need to add something else :) Anyway, tnx for a great video!

[@Ideal-Setup]

Very true! There are so many variables involved. Thanks for sharing how it went for you. Thanks for watching!

[@StevesGarage]

Fantastic video! I enjoyed the single long video to see how the whole setup works as a whole. I like that you have a variety of products at different price points. The most expensive doesn't always mean the best, and you prove that in this video. Everything looks great together, and seems like they serve your needs perfectly which is what's most important at the end of the day. Can't say I have any experience with the wrist rest. I have an old MX Master and have never had any wrist pain so I've never thought about getting one.

[@Ideal-Setup]

Thanks man! You definitely don't need the most expensive items for your setup and slowly work your way up over time to what works for you and what you like. I love seeing how people add their own personality into their setups. That's probably my favorite part. You get to know a little bit about the person and who they are. Yeah, I didn't either. But since I saw everyone had one and I'm a sucker for ergonomics, I bought it. Very surprised how it turned out.

[@StevesGarage]

@@Ideal-Setup Totally agree about the personal touches. I like that glimpse into someones interests.

[@CheemstheBoomer]

Thanks for being honest with the delta hub wrist rest. We really appreciate the non collab videos

[@Ideal-Setup]

Sure thing! It's important for creators and brands to be transparent with any collaborations. And honesty in your opinions is key.

[@lukeandre1]

Great setup, and great channel! I felt the exact same way about the Deltahub Carpio! I got the first version, and it just sat in my desk for over a year, until I got a new job and now I use it at work daily, and I am loving it! For me it was probably the mouse I use at work, which it the Razer Basilisk, whereas at home I have a Razer viper that it did not work with at all.

[@Ideal-Setup]

Thanks man! And thanks for sharing about your experience with the Carpio. I was having a hard time trying to figure out why it was hurting me. Trying a different mouse might do the trick. But then again, we're all slightly different ergonomically. I'll check out the Basilisk.

[@tironamichael]

I feel so validated about my Carpio 2.0 opinions. I got the left and right hand wrist rests. The right hand one is okay most of the time, but the left one is uncomfortable a lot. I'm always readjusting my wrist whenever I'm typing on it. The padding on the thinner portion of it just feel non-existent. I had a cheap Amazon one that was shaped similarly but without the gap in the middle and it was a hundred times more comfortable.

[@Ideal-Setup]

I know we're not the only ones that had this issue. It's really tough as everyone is a little different. Hope they address this concern with their next design. Thanks for watching!

[@GeekCulture101]

Amazing setup! If i can make my setup look half as good I'll be happy

[@Ideal-Setup]

Thank you so much! Do it up!

[@GeekCulture101]

@Ideal-Setup thanks. I am slowly. Will be post a video soon on it. Any tips for such a video? Yours looks so nice.

[@Ideal-Setup]

@@GeekCulture101 I'd say keeping everything organized and only placing what is actually needed on your desk for the video. Then managing cables decently will help it show well. As for the video itself, lighting is the main key, then camera next. I use a key light with a softbox grid that softens the light. Then a secondary light at an opposite angle. Play with the intensity of your lights so they don't blow anything out. I shoot at 4k 24fps so it looks more cinematic with a sony A7C, but you can probably do HD also. There is more to it, but hope this helps you get started!

[@jasonbarnes3996]

I returned my Carpio as had the exact same issues. I've 2 mice in my setup. MX Master 3 (Productivity) and the Logitech G Pro Wireless (gaming) and same issues when using either so don't definitely not a compatibility issue with the mouse. Great setup though and very well thought out.

[@Ideal-Setup]

Thanks for confirming this. I thought I was doing something wrong. Thanks for watching!

[@iVANKYOfficial]

awesome setup!!

[@Ideal-Setup]

Thank you!😀

[@DarthDre]

Carpio G2.0 is incredible (with and without strap), and I can't use my mouse without it. (I use the largest size) (I use the Basilisk V3 pro mouse)

[@Ideal-Setup]

Thanks for sharing your experience with it and which mouse you are using! Everyone is different and uses different kinds of mice.

[@izzya8221]

Deltahub (Carpi 2.0 and G2.0) worked for me on the g502 x plus and g502 x lightspeed BUT definitely not for the master 3s. Preference wise the G2.0 helped with the palm sweat but both versions felt uncomfortable for the master 3s. Ironically, I just choose not to use a wrist rest when using my master 3s and it works out fine. Love the video! Keep up the grind!

[@Ideal-Setup]

I've heard the same from a few people. There are so many factors involved. Hopefully they make a new design to work better with this mouse. Thanks!

[@izzya8221]

@Ideal-Setup hopefully, but I don't think I would try it again if the base is still the same. For my use case, I only ever use it when I'm using the g502 x plus while gaming. Anything else is my master 3s without any wrist rest. Just feels natural.

[@pjreyes2535]

Nice setup and video! Can you please provide a link for that buster sword?

[@Ideal-Setup]

Thanks! Yeah, no problem. I got it from this guy and with the stand. But it's cheaper for just the sword alone

[@deanstro]

Beautiful setup! I had the same issue with my wrist rest when I switched from a normal mouse to the Logitech mx3. I actually really liked using it with my old razer mouse and had no issues, but since the mx3 is already so ergonomic I’m guessing using the wrist rest only worked against it? Since the hand isn’t in the natural intended position. Overall really enjoyable video! :-)

[@Ideal-Setup]

Thank you! I'm glad to know I wasn't the only one that had that issue. I think for me, it felt like I was forcing extra pressure on it which caused the pain. Thanks for sharing your experience!

[@danny99430]

check out logitech lift mouse bro, I guaratee it will solve all of your ergonomic issues. most of the functions on the mx3 are available on the lift. just missing the horizontal scroll wheel. It's a fair trade off for long term comfort in my opinion

[@Ideal-Setup]

Wow, that looks legit! Thanks for the recommendation. I don't really have any pain with the mx master 3, but I think this looks like a great one to try next. I don't use the horizontal scroll wheel very much, so I'd be okay with losing that. I might just miss the metal normal scroll wheel.

[@haqeemramli105]

Nice setup my man wish you all the best in your youtube journey. btw about the wrist rest i recommend this Valore Mouse Pad with Wrist support Valore Mouse Pad with Wrist support (AC59) (Black} its comfortable and the its foam material so wont sweat easily

I saw the carpio then the price tag and said nah. Instead I got a generic one from aliexpress when ordering some magnetic cables and it works wonders. It sits lower and its all one piece instead of 2 with a gap and soft but firm, if that's a way to describe it.

[@Ideal-Setup]

Yeah, $40-$50 for one of those is a bit steep. I guess it wouldn't have been such a big deal if it didn't turn out so bad for me. I'll check Ali Express for something similar. Would be interesting to compare in the future. Thanks for sharing!

[@leandro_80]

It is an amazing setup and the video quality is crazy. But while watching the video (after having watched others before), it came to my mind: "What do these guys do for a living to afford all these super expensive accessories?" They are all cool, but the price is simply insane in many cases and it makes me wonder if a regular dude would really go for it.

[@Ideal-Setup]

Thanks, it's a setup that's taken a bit of time and money to collect. Everyone is different, but my setup is far from the most expensive out there. It's a hobby I enjoy and work hard for. I'm also in my late 30s, so I'm well established in my career and side hustles. I also enjoy filmmaking as a new passion, so this, combined with my love of tech is what lead me to making this channel.

[@RobertMaximus]

How did you connected your speakers to your audio interface? Because I saw that interface have two speakers output, on for right and one for left. It is possible to connect to either one and work normally?

[@Ideal-Setup]

You need to get 2x 1/4" short cables (left and right) and 2x 1/4" to RCA adaptors I believe. I'm not an audio expert so maybe someone at an audio store can better help or there is a detailed video somewhere. They won't work right just plugging them into one of the channels. You could also plug them right into your PC if you wanted as well and possibly dock, depending on the type.

[@RobertMaximus]

@@Ideal-Setup ok thx. But for your setup how you connected them?

[@Ideal-Setup]

@@RobertMaximus When I'm using my interface a lot, with the adapters. If I'm not, then straight to my laptop sometimes. I have been using my headphones more and this is my first full setup. So I'm not an audio expert by any means.
