Hello everyone it's SpawnPoiint and this is my 2022 desk setup tour. It's the video where I
show you everything in my setup and how I use it. This includes the desk, chair, accessories
even the cupboard I'm using to keep everything out of sight. I have put time stamps and links
below to everything that I show you today, so if there's something you like you can check that out.
Well I hope you enjoy the video today and it gives you some inspiration or ideas for your own setup,
or answers questions you might have had. But if I did miss anything, just drop your questions below
and I will try to answer them. Let's start with the desk itself. So the piece of wood I'm using
is an oak kitchen worktop that I picked up from a local store I just cut it down to size and then
I stained it with some American Walnut dye. This darkened the overall appearance and gave it a more
rustic look plus it removed most of the orange and that's sitting on a motorized standing desk from
autonomous which was a bit of a craze last year with everybody working from home I'm not sure
if standing desks are still popular now but the reason that I went for one was having the option
to change between sitting and standing it a press of a button now you might think that having a
standing desk is a bit of a gimmick and what you'd be right I probably only use it standing once a
week now whereas when I first got it it was every single day either way it's nice to swap between
the two when I want to and I can adjust the height really easily using this panel I also get a lot of
questions about the size of my desk so here are the dimensions I'd like it to be bigger too but
sometimes you've just got to work with what you have right so I have been using the autonomous
ErgoChair for about two years now and it's done me really well but a few weeks ago I changed this to
the Herman Miller Aeron now this isn't my first home and mellow as I have also got the Embody
gaming chair but this Aeron is without doubt the comfiest and most supportive chair that I've used
and first thing when the chairs arrive they come fully assembled you just remove the packaging and
you're ready to go I opted for their new Onyx color which is basically black on black they do
have some other options too but this is definitely the best color to go for I think aesthetically
this is a really nice looking chair especially with a mesh fabric on the back and the seat but
that's not the reason I went for this is the fact that it's ridiculously supportive and has so many
adjustments they will fit my body and posture perfectly you can obviously move the chair up
and down there's a little lever on the side of the chair and the arms can be individually adjusted
for both height and tilt but where it gets really impressive is around the back and that's the
lumbar support well this can actually be moved up and down as well as in and out and then depending
on how I'm feeling I can sit upright or I can slouch all the way back using those adjustments
that was really hard to explain but when you're sitting in it it kind of feels like you're
floating as the seat itself is suspended rather than being a solid base it's got a supportive
feel to it but it's bouncy as well if that makes sense now Herman Miller chairs are not cheap but
they do come with 12 years warranty and if you are sitting in a chair for five to ten hours a day you
do need something that supports you now although the wheels on this are multi-purpose and will work
on both carpet and hard flooring I still have a plastic mat down to protect my floor it makes it
a little easier to move the chair around but the real reason is to stop my carpet from wearing out
under my feet. Next up is my monitor so I'm using the 40 inch LG 40WP95C which is a 5K 2K Ultra wide
monitor I've only had this for about two months now but it's the best one I've ever had I think
in my last setup tour I had a 32 inch monitor so this ultrawide is a nice step up it's wide enough
that it's ideal for working or editing videos or having multiple windows open at the same time but
it's not too wide and it looks ridiculous on the desk and I struggle to see around the screen it's
also got USBC and it can charge my MacBook at the same time as transferring the image to the
screen so it's a pretty good all-rounder and I much prefer having one Ultra wide over multiple
displays under the monitor I'm using this monitor Riser from grovemade if you follow me for a while
you know how much I like their products so this Riser is their Walnut one and I like the fact
that it heightens the screen slightly and it gives me some space under the screen to hide things away
like my keyboard or mouse or anything else then there's a shelf on the left hand side where I
store some random things now I don't actually have that many accessories on my desk as I've
tried to keep it clutter free and clean but in here I've got my original PlayStation Vita and
believe it or not I still play this today it's one of those devices that I usually take away with me
on holiday but I often wonder if we'll ever see another PlayStation hand held console from Sony I
also have a pair of airpod gen 3s and I often use these for listening to music or making phone calls
while I'm sitting at my desk and next to that is this little box which is actually a charger that
I've been using to keep all my devices charged up now I used to have a silver one here but I swapped
it for this 200 watt fast charger from ugreen so it's a six in one dock with two USB a ports
and four USB C ports that is more than enough for everything that I've been using it with and
what's great is it's six devices can be charged simultaneously now I've been using it to charge
my mobile gimbal via USBC my Nintendo switch and even my iPad but if I wanted to I could actually
charge my MacBook Air also using this charger now Port 1 and 2 can deliver a maximum of 100 Watts
ports three and four are 65 watts and the 2A ports are 22.5 it works with pretty much every device
or charging protocol out there including PPS so that means it will work with Android phones as
well it then also comes with a braided USB C to lightning cable for your iPhone but what I like
most about this is just how clean and minimalist it looks most charges look bulky or out of place
but this has a really nice design to it also I like the fact there's no LED lights on the
front which I much prefer as most of the time if something has an LED I try and cover it up anyway
but if you're interested in this charger I have linked to that below if you want to check it out
and you might have noticed that above my screen I'm using a BenQ light bar now I have only added
this within the last few weeks and that's because I've seen so many people online using these I had
to give it a go and you know what these are a wait for it. Game. Changer. So the bar clicks
onto the top and is powered by USB then there's this little wireless box you can place anywhere on
your desk and it lets you control the brightness temperature and turn it on or off not only do I
think this looks neat but I was amazed at just how much light it projects down onto your desk without
even hitting the screen it also means I don't need a lamp on nearby and I think it keeps the desk
clutter free and then behind the screen I'm using a one meter strip of lifx LEDs I don't really need
these with the light bar that I have but I think it adds a nice glow and it means if I want to I
can change the colors and theme through the app I'm not normally have these set to white during
the day while I'm working but at night I switch over to an RGB vibe to completely change the style
I'm covering my entire desk I've got this massive felt desk pad from grovemade which I think breaks
up the whole wooden theme that I've got going on now they have loads of different styles and colors
and sizes if you want to choose one yourself but when I was looking they didn't have one that would
fit my desk perfectly so I reached out to them and I asked if they could cut me one to size and here
it is they then either went ahead and added my logo to the label how awesome is this and it's
definitely made this pad one of my favorite accessories in this setup and one question I
get asked quite a lot about this pad is does it have a snag or pull when I'm using it well it's
really soft but the fabric is so compact that it doesn't appear to ever fray or snack I also prefer
the look over this over the smaller one that I used to have but that one is now moved over to
my other desk setup so I've not thrown it away and then sitting on the pad I still have the Logitech
MX keys and MX Master 3 Mouse I've used these for literally thousands of hours over the last
two years and they are still the best keyboard and mouse combo that I've had the keys are low
profile but still have great feedback when you're typing plus they connect first time every time
and look nice some of the keys are starting to look a little shiny now and as is the mouse if
you look closely at the buttons but they're still going strong I don't think there's another combo
that I would replace this with apart from the newer version that they brought out this year
now powering my setup is the 2021 16 inch MacBook Pro I spec it with the M1 Max chip
and a one terabyte drive so it should easily do me for the next few years but this thing is used
every single day from working from home checking emails editing my weekly YouTube videos recording
audio and editing photos it sits here probably 70% of the time then the rest is moving around
the house or on my lap in front of the TV but while it's on my desk it's always sitting in
this wooden dock from grovemade it just slots in and it keeps it out of the way now I know a
lot of you would rather have it open and use it as a second screen but I don't really have the
space and I don't need to see it I also mentioned earlier that it does connect to my monitor with a
single USBC cable and that means it can power the MacBook at the same time as sending the image to
the screen not only does that keep it looking tidier but it means it's easier when docking or
removing it and even with a one terabyte internal SSD I still use external ssds to store all of my
data on I've got five or six of these now which are still my favorite SSD to buy for its size and
its performance then behind the map book I've got a magsafe charger for charging my iPhones again
I went for the Walnut color to keep it on theme and I definitely prefer these over the wireless
pads that you can get instead well as you probably guessed I record all of my voiceovers for YouTube
sitting right here at this desk and I'm using the Shure MV7 which is the cheaper USB version
of the popular SM7B for me this is the perfect all-rounder it's not expensive it's simple plug
and play and it sounds good all I've done is added the SM7B pop filter and attach it to the
Blue Yeti Compass I think this arm is probably the nicest looking mic arm that's out there and
it moves into pretty much any position that you need but yep I'm really happy with this combo
for both design and quality of audio. But what do you think? It's not a question I often ask,
how does my audio sound today? Right so above my desk I've installed this wooden shelf and
it's probably one off if not the cheapest item in the entire setup it's from Ikea and it was just
£10 and it's called the STODSTORP if that's how you say it and it comes in Pine with two metal
brackets all I've done is I've stained it with the same American Walnut that I used on my tabletop I
think it looks great plus you can't really go wrong for £10 but on the Shelf I've got some
random items I've got an iPhone box weird I know a chili water bottle even weirder and some wooden
PlayStation icons I've got from Geek made designs now these are awesome again they are Walnut and
they are individual pieces for each of the four shapes I like these so much I've got another set
under my TV and at the end of the Shelf I've got my silver play button for passing 100,000
subscribers here on YouTube I got this in June 2021 and it's just a reminder to keep going I
tried to set myself goals every single day no matter how small just to keep moving forward and
if you haven't already why don't you drop a like if you've made it this far into the video okay and
something I always try to keep on top of is Cable Management so whenever I change my monitor or
add something new to the setup after tidy up the cables and wires to keep them out of sight I don't
know why but I really don't like seeing cables or wires hanging down if I can help it so behind the
monitor I'm using LG's cable clip then under that I've got some plastic Clips attached to the back
of the monitor Riser as well as under the desk I route all the cables through these until I get
down to the cable tray that's attached underneath the desk now this isn't the tidiest cable tray out
there as you can see everything inside but it will do for now I will eventually change over to the
cable management that I have on my other desk as on that one I'm just using plastic Clips there are
no trays at all I still think hiding cables and preventing them from dangling down under a desk
is one of the easiest ways to make a setup look awesome so you might be wondering where I keep
all the accessories gear or Tech that often used or show in videos well they are hidden away in the
single door cupboard I saw random things in here like PlayStation accessories boxes screwdrivers
and my mobile gimbal well the top shelf is definitely the tidiest a shelf 2 is where all
the random accessories live like ssds and bundles of USB cables then shelf 3 is just boxes and boxes
of products I've shown on the channel things like my drone iPad even the floating light bulb I'm not
sure if you've seen my old setup but this bulb was awesome unfortunately I just don't have the
space for it on the new desk and then back to the cupboard I've got this mini whiteboard that I use
for just writing notes or the odd reminder now for this Dash setup I don't think there's much else I
can or even want to add I am really happy with how it's turned out it's clean pretty minimal and fits
my needs on a daily basis I think the next natural step would be to completely overhaul the setup and
do something completely different but that's something I don't really want to do this year
so maybe I'll do that in 2023 but why don't you drop a nice setup in the comments and I'll give
you a thumbs up for staying right till the end and if you did enjoy today's video check out my
room tour video next that covers everything in my living room including my other desk setup and my
