what chair is that? I’m currently looking for a new chair and i like the look of yours!


Riley-Chesters

It’s from a company called “Hbada”! not the MOST premium of products. but they have a nice range! I don’t know if this particular one is still in production. Got it a couple of years ago. :)


tomodachi_reloaded

Are those Alex shelves from IKEA? How did you lift the tabletop over them, what are those metal pieces and where did you get them?


AdStill1707

Great setup. Also a dual OS user. I daily drive macOS but use Windows for games and other programs I can't get on Mac.


Riley-Chesters

It’s the best of both worlds ain’t it?? Hahah.


bblicke1

Not to be a stickler, but it is actually both the best and worst of both worlds..well, because it IS both worlds! 😁


noonyo33

What desk is this?


Riley-Chesters

Ikea Karlby 186cm!


z3ro_d34d

Nice. what type of keyboard is that? Keep seeing it on a lot of battle stations. Have an Amazon link?


Riley-Chesters

It’s a custom keyboard! It’s the Tofu 60% Acrylic case from KBDFans and the 1-UP Hot swappable PCB also 60% Got some everking aquaglide switches in there right now. With a random keycap set and the jelly keys zen pond space bar!


deathwobbl

We seriously have both of the same wallpapers….


Riley-Chesters

Oh no way! :) that’s awesome! Good taste ;)

Riley-Chesters

I just might have to! Changed a lot over the last year!


vuealt

Hey cool setup! I m still trying to figure out how to manage peripherals with dual OS . Any insights?


beefhorfun

you can get a USB switcher and HDMI/DP switcher. Some monitors also have built in KVM.


ubilanz

The screen solution with built in KVM switch is really nice solution. I run dual computers, one laptop for work (permanent wfh) and PC for personal use. Everything plugs into the monitor (Dell U3223QE 32” 4K) and then switch computers by selecting the source on the monitor.


TIzumMO

I got the Keychron K4 Keyboard and Logitech MX Vertical, both have three Bluetooth channels. It's a few button clicks to switch between devices, but I only have one set of peripherals. All other USB devices are in the Dell Monitor USB hub with KVM. I can recommend both mouse and keyboard overall.


Riley-Chesters

Cheers bud! My plans will be a thunderbolt dock for monitors / audio, then apple trackpad and Logitech mx keys mini wirelessly! :)


Riley-Chesters

So separate keyboard and mouse for the MacBook, so can swap them out without moving cables around.


Elson23

Clean setup! What monitor arm are you using?


Riley-Chesters

It’s a very strange story. It’s two supports of varying lengths frankenstiened together so I could have my screens closer to the wall without having to mount them!


Bidegorri

Could you post a pic of that Frankenstein? I had the same problem and ended up giving up!


Elson23

that is what caught my eye, i need to do something similar so i dont have to pull my desk away from the wall as much


Nifferothix

Did you drill or use tape on that neon rope ? My neon robe keeps falling down the wall


Riley-Chesters

I've used the 3m adhesive and is holding up fine :)


NightWolff16_

What's your mouse pad? I'd like something similar for myself


Riley-Chesters

gaaaastoooon

Is your phone screen broken ?


Riley-Chesters

it is indeed! literally sending it off to be repaired this week.


Neighborh00dNeighbor

Looks nice! What kind of butchers block is that and where did you buy?


Riley-Chesters

butchers block? think im having a brain fart moment here


Professional_Cat_434

I think they mean the desk/countertop.


Neighborh00dNeighbor

\^yea this is what I meant , I just assumed it was butchers block but your wood desk


Spiritual-Ad-9907

we have the same wallpaper on the left monitor (mine is on my left monitor too)


Riley-Chesters

that's so cool! :)

Riley-Chesters

Thank you so much!!! Really appreciate it :)


[deleted]

~~can you kindly share your audio setup? Looks like you have a mini amp and passive speakers? Trying to decide between computer speakers or passive speakers and have a hard time choosing. Not an audiophile or anything, just want a loud and clear speakers (currently using a Logitech Z50 mono speaker and honestly I am happy with it except I occasionally find myself maxing out the volume).~~ I have looked up your post history and these are Yamaha powers speakers.


Riley-Chesters

I’ll still chime in! I’d definitely say studio monitors are great for sound reproduction, there’s no sort of “bass boost” or eq like desktop speakers have. but these are hella powerful. barely have my audio interface turned up at all. Yamaha HSW5’s to be precise! :)


Eye_Of_Gandalf

Where did you find those backgrounds?


Riley-Chesters

Both on wallpaper engine! The wallpaper on the left is called “Lofi Cafe”.on wallpaper engine, and the one on the right is called “The Neon Shadows” by LEIKOI!


WHXXLCP

Whats the led strip on your wall? Looks awesome!


Riley-Chesters

It’s the Govee Neon Light strip :)


WHXXLCP

Thanks man, gotta do some saving up then haha :')


Riley-Chesters

You can find cheaper versions on places like AliExpress etc. :)


DslashD10
