My name is Ryan and I obsess over my desk. Below are links to all the products I use on my desk right now (and maybe some I’ve given up on). Full Disclosure, these are Amazon Affiliate links - if you like what you see, let me get some return on all the time I’ve spent obsessing over my desk. The links aren’t complete (yet), but watch this space, I’ll be working on those!
Desk
Seating
- Vivora Luna Exercise Ball Chair - this is beautiful and surprisingly useful.
- Varier Move Saddle Stool
Monitors
- Acer Nitro - although I’d recommend upgrading to 4k if your computer can drive it. If you go bigger than 27”, definitely go 4k. Also go for a more expensive panel. Cheaper panels are fuzzy at the pixel level, and you can’t fix fuzzy.
- Acer 21”
- Jarvis Dual monitor arm
- VESA height adjuster - because my long torso means at max height of the monitor arm, my monitor is too low.
- laptop stand
Video Call Equipment
- Webcam
- Razer Kiyo - although I’m looking for a narrower option. This one has a built-in ring light, but it’s too small to really be effective.
- Microphone
- Amazon Basics USB Condenser Microphone - according to the WireCutter, it’s as good as much more expensive microphones, for much cheaper.
- Microphone mount to camera mount adapter - enables attaching the microphone to the elgato multi mount.
- Lighting
- Elgato Key Light - note, I have two windows taking care of two of my three lighting points, so I use this key light more like a fill light.
- Rigging
Cabling and Cable Management
- 100W GAN USB-PD charger
- USB C cables
- HDMI Cables - 3 ft
- HDMI Cables - 6 ft
- USB Extension cable. - for hooking up a desktop to the desk
- USB 3.0 switcher
- HDMI Switcher
- Tripp Lite 12 Outlet 36 in. Power Strip - featuring two inches between outlets to give plenty of room for large power adapters (of which I encounter many)
- 15 ft 3.5mm stereo extender for keeping headphones from microphone out of camera.
- Cable Management Clips
- Cable management board - I built this myself - connect with me on LinkedIn if you want me to build you one.
Accessories
- Apple Keyboard MB110LA I think - because you should get one keyboard and love it, and I love my traditional Mac keyboards. But you do you.
- Wireless phone and Apple Watch charger
- Ember Mug
