Here is mine, just need to get a new mount for the main screen as it is a tad low. The screen to the right is for my wife when she works here (Rarely)

I have finally set up my working from home office. We now have an office each at home as we are operating our business from home for the foreseeable future. Any suggestions would be gratefully received.

 

But .. there's no mess? No clutter? Once you've added mess and clutter, it'll look just perfect. 😁 😂 🤣

Given the amount of stuff on it my desk (Mac mini, Windows PC, work laptop, 3 screens etc) it is pretty clean however detritus from small people accumulates on the end.

I swear the bangle isn't mine your honour.

I can't cope with clutter. I was thinking its too cluttered now. I was a clear desk fanatic in the office and the associated abuse 😀

That looks really nice. Well done.

 

Thank you I appreciate your comments. Now I have to get my wife to tidy her office, yeah right.😎

I have a new iMac on order to replace my aging iMac That will open the desk up a bit

The new iMac is very nice but the drop down to a 24 inch monitor was too much to give up for me.

@Handle9 yeah I thought about that a lot. I set up (wife set up) a 24" monitor on my desk connected to my MacBook for a couple of weeks and I was ok with it. I found that I was more focused on all the screen

when working. I don't do a lot of screen splitting and generally only have one application active. I use my iPad Pro as a second screen now and the smaller footprint of the 24" makes that a lot easier.

You can always add a larger second monitor if you need it. I was in the apple store the other day and did have a bit of buyers remorse for buying the Mac mini.

Here is mine... my job is 100% remote (even before lockdown).

gzt: I'm interested to know about any random ergonomics you find useful in your work area.

A recent post here about chairs reminded me I have not changed any gear for a while. I usually make it a habit to change things for ergonomic variety, regular change of position, avoiding repetitive things. Too chicken to approach HR so just bought a bunch of stuff as I sometimes do. Eh that sounds silly maybe I will now. Anyway..

Kneeling chair for some seating variety:

Impressions after a month:

The seat cushion and back cushion made a big difference to my out of date office chair. Well worth it. Went from bad to good. Took a couple of weeks to get used to it and to find the right cushion positions.

The kneeling chair is ok for $99. At 100kg I'm too heavy for the cushion density. Definitely was positionally jaded with the existing office chair and this provided some good variety while getting un-jaded. After a month I don't feel the need for it so often. The finish on the metal parts of the chair is not close to perfect. It works so I'm not sending it back to Aus. Ymmv. Next time around might try a $200 one somewhere if density is better.

The mechanical keyboard is surprisingly fun and good. After a couple of months the key landing seems a bit hard. I'll add a mouse pad underneath and see if that feels better.

The mouse is actually quite nice compared to the older razr I was using. It's a nice change.

Who here has used desktop matts instead of mouse pads? I have to use something as the mouse won't work on my white desk. I fave tries marking lay-points and lines on the desk without success. Do the matts work and are they durable? my mouse pads last about three months before what feel they are gross half a dozen mouse pads a year

I use a 3M mouse pad. I tried finding the old 3M Precise Mousing Surface which is flexible/floppy but the pad is the same height (a mm only) and stick to the surface.

Most flat surfaces will work fine with a laser mouse if they're not too reflective.  Even a dinner placemat or something will work.  I just use my desk with no pad, but I don't have any inconsistencies in the surface of the desk.

I have one of these for my desk. 

GN Wireframe Mouse Mat (36" x 12") | Desk Mouse Pad — GamersNexus Official Store

Have had it since October last year, no issues with it. It is very durable and ive spilt a number of things on it and it holds up well. 
Ran it through the washing machine after knocking a beer over on it and its still like new. 

It took a bit of time to get it shipped here however....
