Hi all: a bunch of rather premium desk setup eye candy for you lot this week: ooooo nice mug! I love them all - what's your fav? 📣+ Get DeltaHub's Carpio 2.0 at deltahub.io/products/carpio-2 - your wrists will thank you!

[@slygg]

Muji also makes a great fountain pen. Another premium rabbit hole.

[@BetterCreating]

Haha - love muji.

[@xotilweoverdose7736]

Good one Saimend

[@BetterCreating]

ok thanks!

[@brandonantone1]

Been using Hasami mugs for a few years now! Love em!

[@karenlepage-mindfulmaker]

I love these little detail videos! I bought a beautiful insulated water pitcher for my work studio and now I actually drink water :) Been aeropressing for decades and I can’t imagine anything else.

[@BetterCreating]

Nice - good to hear. :) I have the same thing with water and an insulated pitcher! It made all the difference! 👍

[@karenlepage-mindfulmaker]

@@BetterCreating I learned it from you!

[@EduardoHenrique-nd1ro]

Amazing accessories, Simon! Thanks for sharing! Cheers from Brazil!

[@BetterCreating]

Thanks pal! It’s kind of a useless but very fun Video compared to my others! - hehe. :)

[@Stan_sprinkle]

My least obvious favorite thing about Ugmonk analog is when you’re done with a card, and you want to file it away on the bottom of the card deck, the wood case has this thoughtfully designed slope like an on-ramp to easily slide the card in. Such a subtle thing that shows how obsessive they were in their design.

[@BetterCreating]

Nice - yes - it’s so well made - and it should be! It’s a premium index card product so they have to get it right for the price… and I think they nailed it! :)

[@marcuslinde8846]

Hey Simon, was wondering when life OS 3 is coming? Om eagerly anticipating it! 😄

[@BetterCreating]

Looking just on track for end of the month (depending on when a Beta feature I’m testing / including is made public! 😜 …will send out an email update this week 💪 So many exciting new features to add!

[@stevesilverstone8115]

No joke: I love Hasami! I thought I recognize it on the thumbnail…

[@SsingAhh]

thank you for the awesome video! what camera do you use?

[@BetterCreating]

No worries. I’m filming on a Fuji XH2S - but think this one was on the XT4 :)

[@SaltAndVi]

I have the orbit key desk mat, it's amazing. One complaint is it slides around a tad bit, so if you can find something more grippy, like a cabinet drawer liner to stick underneath it's perfect. For me though it doesn't move enough to bother me, so I love the mat.

[@BetterCreating]

Nice idea :)

[@Citiesin4K]

Excellent showcase of premium desk accessories for those with an eye for design. Your attention to detail and emphasis on high-quality materials and craftsmanship is impressive. Overall, your video provides valuable insights for anyone looking to create a premium and stylish workspace. Your passion for design and quality shines through in every aspect of the video, and I appreciate the effort you put into creating such an informative and visually stunning guide. Well done!

[@BetterCreating]

Ah thanks - great to hear :)

Thanks for sharing! What light do you have attached to the backside of your benq monitor?

[@BetterCreating]

Thanks! I have a little magnetic ULANZI battery light on there plugged in to usbc. But also the benq screenbar halo has a back light.

[@domdauphin]

The white keyboard with gray and yellow looks great? What brand is it?

[@BetterCreating]

Ah thanks. It’s a Keychron Q series with a set of custom keys from Keychron also + a tape mod for sound. :)

[@Reedith]

Where are all the Mac fans of good design? Are they at home using their Apple mouse with the charge port on the bottom?

[@BetterCreating]

Haha - nice crowbar on the apple mouse - what a disaster that was right? I think you’ve reduced this argument a little thou!

[@rivmusix5882]

Just got myself that mat in their new starwars font, so cool

Besides making your desk look fancy and advertising 65 dollar wood notepad holders and 40 dollar mugs. What exactly do you do for a living?

[@BetterCreating]

I create Notion templates that help people organise their lives and feel less overwhelmed with their day to day work, I work in the theatre as a theatre director, and I’m currently directing a musical and a Christmas show. other than watching KZbin, what about you? :)

Hoto sells a precision screwdriver kit that may be more suited to unscrew keyboards

[@BetterCreating]

Yes they do and it it definitely is: but I don’t need two since I only dabble :)

[@akpoviriukochovwera1030]

I clicked for the mug 😁😁😁😁😁

[@BetterCreating]

Haha - I found the mug in a similar way! :)

[@PILA00]

Amazing quality!! What is the name of the other desk pad in tape material??

[@BetterCreating]

No it sure on that - if you mean the black desk mat - it’s the leather desk mat from Orbitkey

[@junseicpcp6903]

Hey for magfloat pro is the material of the middle part still rough and abrasive on the new model compared to old one? I found the old mag float stand middle part rough and abrasive compared to what the iPad back feels like when sliding fingers I also found the edges not rounded and quite sharp and pointy which also digs into skin when holding it or moving it that way I would like the material to feel smoother and less edgy/pointy

[@BetterCreating]

I’d say the materials feel very similar. Still think it’s a fab stand - definitely the most premium I’ve found. :)

[@TheSeanieTube]

What is the name of the mounted white bookshelf that is holding g your books and plants at 0:13?

[@BetterCreating]

Ah the stuff in the living room is from vitsoe - expensive but lasts a lifetime. Dieter Rams! :)

[@buinguyenphuong961]

Great video! What kind of headphone are you using there?

[@BetterCreating]

This it’s my Sony WH1000s - think mine are version 3 but there are 4 and 5 possibly now. Great noise cancelling - particularly good for flights

[@thejoshthat]

was that a whosetheboss reference @ 6:45 ? I caught it! Great vid man, thank you!

[@BetterCreating]

Thanks pal! Haha - yes I think it could well have been from memory! :)

[@thejoshthat]

@@BetterCreating 😆

[@FIFII]

Does the Carpio work with an ergonomic mouse set up?

[@BetterCreating]

Works I think with any mouse where your wrist sits palm towards the desk

[@felipekid]

Hey mate! Nice selection of accessories. I also have the orbitkey nest and it is very useful I carry it with me every day. Out of curiosity...which app were you using on you iPad to design your studio?

[@BetterCreating]

Thanks pal. Yeah - me too - the nest is fab. Ah yes it’s a surprisingly good find and very advanced but learnable: it’s called Live Home 3D. Very good.

[@Bronkeykong]

I have the Hasami mugs, but I cant get over the textured porclain. It just bugs me. Dont get me wrong they're stunning - but I cant stand to drink out of them.

[@BetterCreating]

Ha - oh no! Don’t they do some that are glazed as well? :(

[@staticshocketh1795]

what desk riser are you using

[@BetterCreating]

In this video - I think it’s a shelf as part of the String shelving system!

[@chickadddee]

Love your enthusiasm Simon! I will be setting up a new desk area soon-ish and will loop back to this video, thanks. Great to see how you combine physical notepads with computer stuff. I do too, and still sometimes wonder why. It just feels good to write it out sometimes, I personally think our brains function differently comparing the on paper method with the on keyboard method. OK on to the other videos you suggested here! p.s. Please use superfluous as much as you possibly can. Sounds sooo good with your accent :)

[@BetterCreating]

Haha, thanks! I feel you - completely agree about the combo of digital and analog. Better personal connection when working on ideas particularly with pen to paper. :)

[@mpfstudios]

Great Video! but i was wondering what keycap set you used on the thumbnail and throught the video?

[@BetterCreating]

They are Keychron pbt caps - search their website and you’ll find the options :)

[@mpfstudios]

@@BetterCreating thanks!

[@johnblaschke662]

What is the bias light cube at 7:48? Its on the back of the monitor.

[@BetterCreating]

That’s the back of the BenQ halo … or a small magnetic video light from ULANZI. :)

[@luizeduard0]

Does anyone know what keyboard is that showing on 8:59?

[@d.c.8710]

Can you tell what desk your using?

[@BetterCreating]

This is the modular String shelving system - it offers a small desk that can be added :)

[@mp0wa]

How come the Ugmonk site doesn't have the matching coaster for the coffee mug? Does anyone know where we can order the matching coaster?

[@BetterCreating]

Yeah, they have a limited collection of hasami bits - you really just have to search for hasami porcelain and see what stores supply near you. - I got mine from ‘Le gent’

[@mp0wa]

Thank you for sharing! Just found a local store, Tortoise General Store in Los Angeles CA. Looking forward to picking up 1-2 mugs to try out 😊

[@adoyer04]

i want none of those things, the screwdriver 😂 nono wera to go here, i have my small vitra toolbox with all that stuff beside. its on the tiptoe holder with an carpenders box attached. beside my string wall shelf. or over my eiermann 1 table. in front of my vitra studio chair. and im architect and product designer. should i make yt videos for that 😅

[@BetterCreating]

Hard to read, but I think you are mocking me? Anyways, yes, definitely don’t waste your hard earned money of stuff you don’t want! That would just be succumbing to capitalism. 👀😝

[@agarcia8571]

👍🏼

[@vic8982]

Whats the name of the keyboard?

[@BetterCreating]

It’s the Q1 from Keychron with some mods. Tape, keycaps

[@GuiOfficial]

This "analog" system is just paper for god sake. I find it really interesting how marketing can make paper become something bigger than it is.

[@BetterCreating]

Yes, it’s a nicely packaged set of index cards and some thing design: so if I always recommend making your own if you are not into it or don’t want to pay the money: for those with the money to spend - the design is super effective and I love using them! :)

[@techmentormaria]

I can't believe you you mentioned a screwdriver set for a desk accessories video 😅

[@BetterCreating]

Haha! I know - you’re the first to call me on it! It counts - keyboard hobby! :)

[@clown7094]

What's the light at 7:48? That's interesting.

[@BetterCreating]

I think you are looking at a BenQ light bar - check out my other desk accessories vid for more: kzbin.info/www/bejne/fZypoWBsbp11hsU :)

[@jasonthomas8299]

Am I the only one that hates when they don’t give at least a price range.

[@BetterCreating]

I hear you - tricky one - but I personally don’t choose to mention price in the video as it can change over time from manufacturers, if people like things, the links can provide correct info. It’s a tricky one as a creator. Cheers! :)

Ah sorry to hear try at my friend - I do these videos occasionally for stuff I really like - so can see how you might find that - my other vids tend to be about solutions and so living problems for people for productivity - maybe you’ll find those more chill on the sponsored link vibes! Thanks for watching. :)

@@BetterCreating Can you disclose which products in the video were sponsored? I appreciate your response.

Hi - no products were sponsored in this video: and no money changed hands. I simply received a few to test out, and have used 'affiliate links' in the description - these give me a % of the sale income at no cost to the buyer. Hope that answers your question.

These price tags are a joke, it's either a crooked company or there are way too many middlemen involved in the profit making. lol
