My Desk Setup

The infrastructure behind my daily workflow. Every item here was chosen to maximize focus, ergonomics, and minimalism.

Foundational HardwareBalolo Setup Cockpit (Large) - Solid wood and steel desk shelf
Author's Take

The monitor goes on the top shelf, everything else finds a home underneath. Cleared more desk space than I expected and the solid wood doesn't feel cheap.

UPERGO Walnut Desk Tray - Walnut tray that sits on the shelf
Author's Take

Sits on the lower shelf. Sunglasses, pen, chapstick - stops them from floating around the desk.

Ergonomic ChoiceNuphy Air60 v2 Keyboard - Low-profile mechanical keyboard
Author's Take

The switches feel noticeably better than any laptop keyboard. Compact enough that I use it everywhere - on the desk, in a café, on a flight. The 60% layout took a week to get used to, then became automatic.

Technical UtilityACASIS Thunderbolt 4 Dock - Thunderbolt 4 dock
Author's Take

I plug in one cable and my monitor, external drives, and power all connect. It works exactly as advertised, which feels notable for a Thunderbolt dock - these have a reputation for being finicky.

Visual Real EstateDell UltraSharp 34 Monitor - U3425WE - 34-inch ultrawide with built-in KVM
Author's Take

Switching from dual monitors was the right call. The wide field of view keeps everything in one continuous visual space. The built-in KVM lets me switch between my personal and work machines with a keyboard shortcut - one cable per machine, no KVM box.
