Seeing and reading about other people’s setups is a guilty pleasure of mine.

We spend so much time in front of our screens, we might as well make ourselves comfortable. And so, here are some of the things I use.

Work

My main machine is a 2021 Macbook Pro 14” M1 MAX. If I’m at my desk, and I most likely am, it is in clamshell mode, stuck in a vertical stand, connected to a Thunderbolt dock that’s connected to a DisplayPort switch. By the press of a button, the signal switches between my Mac and PC.
- I wish I could do with just one cable but because bandwidth limits it’s 3: monitor, monitor and camera (4k).
My main monitor is a 27” Asus OLED PG27UCDM. I want a monitor that has both a high refresh rate and a high resolution for general use. This is with no competition the best monitor I’ve used. While 27”/4k isn’t strictly “Retina”-level pixel density the OLED panel renders even text so smooth that I can barely tell pixels apart. The OLED panel has beautiful colors, HDR is breath taking and its 240hz refresh rate is more than my GPU can live up to.

Being a true “gaming” monitor, it of course can’t look clean. Absolutely horrendoes looking stand. So I have it mounted to my desk.

I used to swear by a single-monitor setups until recently but I now run the vertical sidecar thing. Not much to say about the other monitor. 24” Samsung. 1440p. It works.

I work from home in our house in the northern part of Denmark. I grew up here, was away for 10 years. Came back and settled down after having kid number 2 (of 3!) It’s the perfect size town to grow up in.

My desk is a Birch IKEA Mittzon. It’s a motorised standing desk and I do actually use it standing sometimes. I don’t particilarly like it but it works.
I sit in a Herman Miller Aeron chair. It’s good but it better be with that price tag.

My main keyboard is a CRKBD mini v4.1 (3x5+2) with blank white Cherry profile keycaps. It’s configured with this tri-layer QMK config.

My gaming keyboard is a Wooting 60HE which isn’t as nice to type on but feels like cheating.
My mouse is a Zeromouse Blade by OptimumTech. It looks ridiculous and I love it. Using a mouse on macOS can feel a bit wonky because of the heavy mouse acceleration. I use killmouseaccel and practice my FPS aim on folders and files. My own FlickRing is indispensable.
I have an Artisan FX Zero Soft XL. It’s a state of the art mousepad. Haha.

Next to my monitor I have a pair of Kanto YU2 speakers. They sound amazing but lack a bit of bass on their own so I have the accompanying subwoofer on the floor.
When I’m gaming, I use a pair of KZ ZS10 Pro in-ear monitors. They’re plugged into an Focusrite 2i2 audio interface.
I’m using a mirrorless Sony ZV E-10 as a webcam. I’ve used built-in webcams and tried some dedicated USB ones and they’ve all been shit. An actual camera like this is an enormous upgrade in quality. It’s connected via HDMI and an Elgato Cam Link 4K. It’s mounted on a tripod behind my desk.
My mic is a Shure SM7B on a RØDE PS1 arm connected to my audio interface.

My PC is custom built in a FormD T1 case, black version. It is amazingly well-built, gorgeous and surprisingly small.

I have undervolted the GPU for about a 10°C temp drop with no visible loss of performance. It runs Warzone comfortably around 120fps in 4K with DLSS on.

I have disabled my Desktop icons.
Dock and menubar are always hidden.
Aerospace, Sketchybar and JankyBorders for window management.
I never use my Dock for launching apps. It too is mostly empty, holding only Finder, the apps that are currently running, a Downloads folder stack and the Trash. I have it on the bottom edge set to auto-hide.

My favourite editor is neovim inside tmux inside Ghostty. I switched to vim over 13 years ago and never figured out how to quit it (haha)
My colorscheme is zenbones. I use Iosevka which is just delightful.
Safari is my browser of choice.
I use Mail.app and Fastmail (coupon link) for email.
Apple Music for music that’s not YouTube dj mixes. Yes, I am the only person using Apple Music but it’s ok now. Only thing I miss from Spotify is Discover Weekly but I use Spotify for kids’ music so now that’s completely messed up.
Things for todos which is mostly the same repeating list I (fail to) run through each day. Todo lists are really great but I have to force myself to use them. It just doesn’t come naturally.
Obsidian for notes.
Raycast as launcher, clipboard history, text expansion.
FlickRing for mouse wheel flick gestures.
Moves for mouse controlled window management (I made it!)
Sprinkles to mod websites (I made it!)
1password for password management.
CleanShotX for screenshots.
Sketch for vector graphics.
Acorn for raster graphics.
Slack for chatting with friends, incoming notifications from services I run and generally not getting shit done.
Discord for gaming with friends and not reading NFT servers.
Apple Photos for photos.
Time Machine and BackBlaze for backups.
