My keyboard is the Nuphy Air75 V2 with low profile keys and the corporate’s personal Cowberry linear mechanical switches. I can see why Nuphy named this particular mechanical keyboard line “Air,” as a result of it does really feel like you might be typing on air. The keys require little actuation power, they usually make a pleasing and light-weight thunk sound after they backside out — even the spacebar, which has a few of the greatest key stabilizers I’ve ever seen on a keyboard. I’ve used too many mechanical keyboards with wobbly, pingy spacebars.

My companion gave me his Logitech MX Grasp 3 mouse as a result of the gaming mouse I used to be utilizing earlier than (and the three gaming mice earlier than that) began giving me wrist pains. My pinky would lock up typically, too.

I don’t have any of these points with the MX Grasp 3. It’s ergonomically designed to maintain your wrist in a pure place, and regardless that it’s such a small adjustment in comparison with how my wrist is positioned with a typical gaming mouse, it was sufficient to fully eliminate the ache. Now, I exploit this mouse for every part, even gaming.

I’ve obtained an Elgato Key Mild, which helps when it will get darkish in my workplace and I have to look presentable on a Zoom name. It’s additionally only a nice mild for once I’m journaling at night time. (I’ve obtained a smaller lamp on the opposite facet for night or cloudy days.) 

I obtained the Insta360 Hyperlink webcam as a result of I used to be bored with trying like a blurry potato on calls. This one is neat as a result of it tracks your place, although typically it doesn’t at all times work the way in which it’s purported to and my coworkers get to have a look at a close-up of my brow.

My principal display is an Asus VG27AQ. One of many greatest causes I purchased it was its small, squarish stand. That means, it could perch atop my NAS on the excellent head peak with simply sufficient room for my mini desktop and water bottle beneath. Too many fashionable screens have huge V-shaped stands that make them onerous to prop up, I’m afraid.

I personal about seven fountain pens. Most of them are very cheap, and a few have been so low-cost they’re kinda crappy and barely price futzing with (the standard dangerous preliminary purchases you later study from). The 2 I exploit probably the most are the Lamy Safari with a positive nib and the TWSBI Eco with an extra-fine nib. I write a bit small, so these work properly for me. 

This lovely elago W3 stand for my Apple Watch appears to be like like an unique Macintosh.

I spend the workday at my Vox laptop computer, a 2017 MacBook Professional, with just a few equipment, together with a pair of Sony WH-1000XM4 wi-fi headphones that my colleague Chris Welch reviewed.
