how do i get my hair anything
hey how are you doing my name is shu so
over the past few months
i've been slowly upgrading my desk setup
because i spent most of my day
on my desk in january my desk looked
like this
it had only my laptop on it i to be
honest really liked this setup because
it was simple
and minimalistic but i realized that i
needed a second monitor rather than just
my laptop because i do lots of video
editing which requires
lots of space on the screen then once i
got to monitor i realized that now
i needed a new keyboard mouse and
speaker
and one thing led to another i now have
a decent desk setup
so i figured why not make a video about
it
alright so let's start with the desk
this black desk is something i got from
ikea for about a hundred dollars it's
not too small or too big
i think it's a good size that doesn't
occupy too much space
in my room but big enough to have stuff
like a monitor
and a keyboard on it i thought about
getting a standing desk but i'm not sure
if i will actually use it much
i think i'd rather just go to the gym
and do some workout instead
now i got this desk mat from amazon for
like 20 dollars
i really like this brown color in
contrast to the black desk
i use a mouse from logitech called
logitech mx argo
it's a mouse with a trackball it took me
some time to get used to it but once i
did
it feels really comfortable and easy on
my wrist especially i really like you
can tilt it so it fits in your palm more
naturally
it's a bit expensive to be honest but
great investment if you'll have painful
wrists like me
i got lots of questions about this
keyboard i'm a huge fan of separated
keyboards because they feel more
comfortable to use
compared to normal ones in my experience
this one is called kinesis freestyle
2 and i love typing on this it feels
good
it sounds good and most importantly it's
super comfortable since you can keep
your arms wide which i found
helps a lot to reduce your shoulder pain
one thing i don't like though
is this is not bluetooth so it's got two
thick cables coming out of it
and it doesn't look so nice but oh well
i can live with that
now i use speakers from notch tech this
was
actually super cheap it was like only 20
dollars and has
decent volume and sound quality i'm not
super into audio
so this one does the job just fine for
me in the middle of the speakers i have
this clock
but it's actually not cook it's an
amazon echo sure
5. this might be actually one of the
best purchases i've made this year
it's so useful and fits perfectly in my
desk setup
you can not only check the time date and
weather
but also you can ask alexa to show your
calendar
set a reminder tell you the news and
hundreds of other things
and there are dozens of different
wallpapers which is really nice
personally i connected to the light in
my room so i can say
turn on the light this is very
convenient
oh and also i have two small cactus next
to it i got them from ikea costs about
10 dollars
i use a 16 inch macbook pro 2019 model
for pretty much
everything i just have it on the edge of
the desk i thought of getting this kind
of
laptop holder but my laptop gets really
hot when i'm editing videos on final cut
pro
so i need to have a laptop cooler
beneath it
on my side table i have a nintendo
switch which is connected to the monitor
and zoom 86 audio recorder i use for
recording youtube videos
and this is connected to my microphone
by samsung
i use this microphone for recording as
well as for two meetings
it's pretty handy since i can just reach
out and grab it whenever i need it
also i hide most of my cables inside
this box
it's so chaotic i don't want to even
look inside
finally let's talk about the monitor
this is a 34 inch ultra wide monitor
from dell
i got this about a few weeks ago and i'm
in love with it
it's got to cover the screen usb c port
and
ips panel it's not quite 4k but it has
relatively high resolution it's a great
monitor for people like me who do
lots of video editing researching and
note-taking
and then i have a webcam from logitech
on the top
alright so that was my new desk setup
