Out of curiosity, we took a look astatine immoderate of our past articles to spot if immoderate of the devices that our unit usage successful their day-to-day enactment person surfaced during Amazon’s Prime Day sale. We did find a few.

Mechanical keyboard

My keyboard is the Nuphy Air75 V2 with debased illustration keys and the company’s ain Cowberry linear mechanical switches. I tin spot wherefore Nuphy named this circumstantial mechanical keyboard enactment “Air,” due to the fact that it does consciousness similar you are typing connected air. The keys necessitate small actuation force, and they marque a pleasant and airy thunk dependable erstwhile they bottommost retired — adjacent the spacebar, which has immoderate of the champion cardinal stabilizers I’ve ever seen connected a keyboard. I’ve utilized excessively galore mechanical keyboards with wobbly, pingy spacebars.

A comfy mouse

My spouse gave maine his Logitech MX Master 3 mouse due to the fact that the gaming rodent I was utilizing earlier (and the 3 gaming mice earlier that) started giving maine wrist pains. My pinky would fastener up sometimes, too.

I don’t person immoderate of those issues with the MX Master 3. It’s ergonomically designed to support your wrist successful a earthy position, and adjacent though it’s specified a tiny accommodation compared to however my wrist is positioned with a modular gaming mouse, it was capable to wholly get escaped of the pain. Now, I usage this rodent for everything, adjacent gaming.

Some other lighting

I’ve got an Elgato Key Light, which helps erstwhile it gets acheronian successful my bureau and I request to look presentable connected a Zoom call. It’s besides conscionable a large airy for erstwhile I’m journaling astatine night. (I’ve got a smaller lamp connected the different broadside for evening oregon cloudy days.) 

Unblurring video calls

I got the Insta360 Link webcam due to the fact that I was bushed of looking similar a blurry murphy connected calls. This 1 is neat due to the fact that it tracks your position, though sometimes it doesn’t ever enactment the mode it’s expected to and my coworkers get to look astatine a close-up of my forehead. 

A perfectly placed screen

My main surface is an Asus VG27AQ. One of the biggest reasons I bought it was its small, squarish stand. That way, it tin perch atop my NAS astatine the cleanable caput tallness with conscionable capable country for my mini desktop and h2o vessel underneath. Too galore modern monitors person large V-shaped stands that marque them hard to prop up, I’m afraid.

A fountain of pens

I ain astir 7 fountain pens. Most of them are precise inexpensive, and immoderate were truthful inexpensive they’re kinda crappy and hardly worthy futzing with (the emblematic atrocious archetypal purchases you aboriginal larn from). The 2 I usage the astir are the Lamy Safari with a good nib and the TWSBI Eco with an extra-fine nib. I constitute a spot small, truthful these enactment good for me. 

An old-fashioned ticker stand

This adorable elago W3 stand for my Apple Watch looks similar an archetypal Macintosh.

Working with wireless headphones

I walk the workday astatine my Vox laptop, a 2017 MacBook Pro, with a fewer accessories, including a brace of Sony WH-1000XM4 wireless headphones that my colleague Chris Welch reviewed.
