I've had multiple people comment on my workstation setup at the office, mostly because I have a variety of input devices on the table top that always catches peoples eyes: magic trackpad, Contour Roller Mouse Red, Goldtouch right hand semi-vertical mouse on a mouse bungee, and a Philips foot pedal. I have a left hand vertical mouse too but something with the driver or USB hub nullifies it while some another device is connected.

Since work from home took over I've moved all that equipment to a budget Costco standing desk that seems to be a popular model on the warehouse floor https://www.costco.com/tresanti-47%22-adjustable-height-desk.... I think I paid like $275 on sale sometime last year.

I've modified that desk by fabricating a bracket on it to secure a Workrite Banana Board keyboard tray. I've also ceased using the mouse bungee at home since the bracket serves as a cable holder with a cable clip routing the wires. There's some other minor stuff like an old KVM switch and a DC barrel plug switch to restart the KVM switch when it misbehaves.

Does that sound like something interesting to feature?



Yeah! Want to send me a DM so we can kick this off? https://twitter.com/rjgilbert


I'm not on twitter. I'll sign up to the substack and reply to the next feed. I understand they're configured to go to some email that forwards to the author, is that accurate?
