My Work-From-Home Secrets
- Chairs:
- I purchased a refurbished leap v2 chair from madison seating. Its website has some horrible reviews, but its ebay shop seems legit. Still, for refurbished chairs, they are used and YMMV.
- My girlfriend is using a chair from Autonomous, it is also great. This compant sells some fully functioning seats in a relative low price (although I cannot use chrome to open their homepage on Windows…).
- Desk:
- Big NO to rising desks (or adjustable height desks). Although I love these desks, the dealbreaker is that, sooner or later, its motors are gonna break, which is super troublesome.
- Easy and reliable alternatives are the furniture rise + cheapest IKEA table combination.
- Monitor stand:
- Monitor stands are awesome! Save lots of desk space and greatly simplifies the workspace.
- Note that if you are using 32’’ monitor/heavy monitor, be sure to buy monitor stand with a heavy load (only the ones with gas spring arms can hold my monitor).
- I also attach headphone mounts to my monitor. They look great!
- I also mount my laptop on my monitor stand with an additional spring arm– VESA laptop mount tray works great.
- Mouse and Keyboards:
- Logitech MX Master is the only mouse I would recommend (v1, v2, v3 are all great).
- Any of the following keyboards are great:
- Microsoft Ergonomic Keyboard (cheapest, wired and slow actuation)
- Microsoft Sculpt Ergonomic Keyboard (wireless, not bluetooth enabled, using batteries and fast actuation)
- Logitech MX Keys (not ergonomic, wireless, bluetooth enabled, rechargeable and fast actuation)
- Logitech K860 (wireless, bluetooth enabled, using batteries and fast actuation)
