in a studio just above the ground there lived a youtuber not a nasty dirty dingy studio
filled with the leftovers of past takeaways and funky smells nor yet a lifeless boring
uninspiring studio with nothing in it to make videos or unbox the latest tech it was a youtuber
studio and that means it's filled with things i really didn't need but really wanted and i tried
to justify them to my partner by telling her i need it for my youtube let's show you around
usually other youtubers would be telling you to like and subscribe at this point but i'm going
to assume you already did that after hearing the intro big upload of the rings so welcome to take
it easy this is my 2022 work from home youtube studio gaming room man cave setup tour thing and
if you're watching this and thinking god i will never be able to get to anything like that this
was my setup just two years ago you can do it keep grinding so let's take you around the main
setup so corsair k-100 not only a fantastic gaming keyboard but the dial and macro keys on the side
make it perfect for editing and other tasks mouse or mice i should say i use the new wireless
corsair k65 for gaming but recently i've been using this this is the luna artifacts pointer
instrument it's a super unique artisan take on your everyday mouse it has real leather equestrian
inspired stitching and a brass base it also comes with qi charging so i can just pop it on
my wireless charger that i built into my desk when i'm not using it honestly this mouse just adds so
much character to the setup and i like how mature it feels i actually do use it for gaming too
recently as a sensitivity is great and i've not been playing many fps games so i don't really need
that extra sensitivity of a gaming mouse i do have a full review on this over on my channel if you're
interested so you can check it out after this video moving around though as well as installing a
wireless charger i also did something a little bit different to hide my keyboard cables and make my
space just that little bit more practical i made another hole in my desk and popped in this usb hub
sd card reader from icybox i'm so glad i did this it saves me fumbling around under my desk for my
sd card reader and it's just super convenient to be honest it also helps hide my keyboard cables
like i say which is an added bonus i'll put a link to all this if you want to do it yourself
in the description so you can copy it now just in front of the icbox hub i have got my
orbit key desk mat now i love the look of this it's also very practical i keep my documents and
plans for my full-time job under here where you can just slide pieces of paper and keep them from
getting folded up only criticism being is that it doesn't stay still there is zero grip on my desk
which is a huge shame i am kind of considering switching it out but i do really like the utility
and the look of it also from orbit key i've got my orbit key nest where i keep all my grab-and-go
everyday carry gadgets for my office days it also doubles as a wireless charger so it's a really
little handy thing to have so inside includes my mw08 from master and dynamic i use these a lot at
home as well especially when i'm recording b-roll and just you know wandering around the house and
doing my everyday tasks but that's not the only audio i use i also have the mastering dynamic
mw65s which are an insane pair of headphones beautifully designed excellent sound quality
much like the mw08 and these are the mg20s which are the best looking and sounding headset i've
ever had it's a 7.1 surround sound and has lots of little buttons for controlling volume mic
sensitivity and just everything you need really aside from it being geared for gaming though
because it is from a luxury brand i guess the sound quality is fantastic and the core quality
during teams calls and discord conversations is amazing as well and i actually rarely if at all
actually ever take these headphones off i actually use them for music as well and i did relay that
feedback back to master and dynamic i think they are an amazing pair of headphones yes they are
expensive but my opinion they're worth every penny last of the bits and bobs on the desk are
this rather beautifully designed air purifier it's from a company called caddo i think that's how you
pronounce it it was designed for small spaces like an office bedroom or even a car and yeah it does
what it says on the tin really i find it helps with the dust in the room and i like the ambience
the light gives off actually the build quality is also great it has a nice bit of weight to it
and it sits really nicely on the desk shelf i have to admit i actually like the sound of it when i'm
working like the ambient noise it gives off so i don't know if that's weird or not but it sort of
sends me into this trance and helps me focus but yeah this is the air purifier and lamp from cadeau
if you want one for yourself there will be a link down below in the description now moving away from
some of the more practical stuff you might have noticed this fantastic thing this is the fight
royal levitating light bulb and it is absolutely awesome and it's probably my favorite cosmetic
item of the whole setup now fight actually sent this out to me a while back the unboxing felt
really luxury and the product itself was just so premium to set up you need to use both hands
and it's recommended that you use your guide as well but after a short while you'll likely get
used to placing the bulb and you don't actually need to use it but again it's recommended you do
the light is actually quite important to my setup as well not only does it add a bit of
warmth and fun to the setup but it's also become a crucial element in my video backdrops as well
i think it adds a little bit of movement to the backdrops it's just really subtle and it looks
really nice in the corner there it's a beautifully designed product and i really could not recommend
it enough as always there will be links down below if you want to pick one up for yourselves
moving on to some of the other gadgets i have my lava ball from zenlit this was a recent purchase
it's a real lava rock and it doubles as a diffuser if you add some essential oils to it but mainly i
just like the look of it and to be honest it makes a great fidget toy it's like an anxiety stress
release thing i do during the day now there's a few more things sat on this shelf that i got from
etsy of all places actually first being my pc soundbar from creative i think i reviewed this
one around two years ago now it comes with a sub which is just below the desk not quite audiophile
sound quality i'll admit but i really like the size and how it sits on a desk and it's also great
for gaming and movies below that i have my stream deck which i actually mainly use for cuts to
certain apps and to control my elgato light around the room which i'll talk a bit more about later
on also i have my sound blaster audio dac from creative as well which i use occasionally i'll
use wired headsets if my mg20s run out of battery for example now on to the beast itself i'm not
going to spend too much time on this because we're not a pc channel but this is my crazy over-the-top
custom gaming pc that i really didn't need but at the same time it does genuinely save me a lot
of time when editing it has an rtx 3090 oc ryzen 5 950x and 64 gigabytes of ram and a small dent
in it from when my girlfriend found out how much i spent on it anyway monitor wise we have one 4k 144
hertz panel from lg i believe it's the lg gp 950b this has become my main monitor now and then off
to the left i've got my 1440p 240 hertz alienware aw 27d which occasionally will still get used for
some competitive gaming for that 240hz refresh rate favorite is by far the lg one though just
love the crisp 4k image quality and with it being oled games and movies just look absolutely insane
now the phone doesn't stop there considering this is a tiny room there's a lot in it so spinning
past my acoustic panels from accu panels which i will add it looks absolutely awesome in my opinion
we have my lifx beam light which uh they look great but i absolutely loathe them because they
just never seem to work i've tried everything and kind of gave up with support because
i feel like i shouldn't have even been having the problems in the first place to actually get
them working i need to connect an old phone and it just gets all long and complicated so i kind
of really want to swap these out to be honest but they look nice i'll give it that pass out
though we have another setup so let's start off with a desk so flexispot sent this out to me
but the first thing i'm gonna say is that it's really annoyed me genuinely yeah i'm gonna make
the marketing manager from flexi spot a little bit nervous here and i'm doing it on purpose anyway it
annoys me because this desk from my main setup cost me almost 1500 pounds with the jaws and all
the other added extras this flexi spot one costs what 300 350 pounds and it's better a lot better
no joke it's quieter it's faster it was easier to assemble the touch controls are more modern
and i'm even convinced the wood top is better quality as well and it's less than half the price
a lot less than half the price so yeah i'm annoyed i didn't find out about them sooner generally but
i couldn't recommend flexispot enough if you're looking for a sit stand desk i genuinely love it
so much that i'm actually considering taking the loss on the big desk behind me i'm getting another
flexi spot desk for my real setup they've got several different styles and sizes to choose from
and having all the features you need including anti-collision definitely recommend them and
they've got plenty more stuff as i'm going to show you soon anyway this standing desk from flexispot
replaced a rubbish one i got for around 30 pounds off amazon and this is where i record all of my
videos i've kitted the desk out with everything i need i've got various little arms for cameras
microphones and lights to the left i've got my elgato ring light which is great i can control
that from my pc or my phone then on the right i've got my proper professional i think it's the amaran
100xd or 200xd i've forgotten which version it is this thing is huge it's also amazing value for
money though i think this is a real step in the right direction for me getting some professional
lights i also have a few different backdrops i play around with i just got those from amazon
there's so many of them out there also around here i have two desk chairs my first one is from
noble chairs it's very comfy it looks great and it stays at a neutral temperature in the summer
and the winter then flexi spot actually sent me out a chair as well which i was not expecting
and no joke it feels just as good as my 1 000 pound chair that i have at the office back in
london genuinely so impressed with flexispot and their products i really could not recommend them
enough recording equipment wise we have my rode mic ntg great microphone it was quite expensive
but worth every penny in my opinion it's been serving me well for over 12 months now as for the
camera i use the fujifilm sx10 can't really show you much because that's what i'm using to record
right now but the other bits i have i have a cheapish monitor that if i just want to see what's
going on more on a larger screen i sometimes plug that in and then i've got my acoustic
panels from elgato behind the wall now these elgato wave panels have been absolutely amazing
i really love the aesthetics a lot of people tend to go for the cheaper acoustic panels from amazon
i can totally see why i considered them myself but i feel like these elgato wave panels just look
so much better and i think they actually work better i think someone on youtube actually did
a test testing them against the cheap amazon ones that everybody seems to get and they actually work
a little bit better so they are worth the slightly higher price tag now if i was to go through
absolutely every single accessory in this desk setup tour we would be here for at least another
half an hour so i think this is a good place to end it i am planning a best accessories
and gadgets video which will be coming shortly to the channel so write down in the comments section
desk setup 2022 to let me know you're still here and then give my setup a rating and let me know
how i can improve on it for next time before we go though i do want to give an honorable mention to
nanoleaf now nanoleaf haven't sponsored this video in any way shape or form but what they did do is
feature my setup in their article and in return they sent me some extra nano leaf element panels
and i have to say the nano leaf elements are some of the best looking lights for aesthetics you can
get at the moment they give off such a warm cozy vibe and they really actually help me concentrate
on my work and editing especially in the evening anyway we are going to end it there today thank
you so much for watching and if you want to see a little bit more of what we do on the channel here
do check out my recent galaxy z4 3 review or my galaxy watch 4 classic review for now though i've
been alex this has been take it easy thank you so much for watching and i'll see you in the next one
