I think it might be a Hot toys , my kids got it for me for a fathers day like 5 years ago or so ... I'm big on the Boba Fett, looking to add an original Kenner figure at some point .
Got a tip for us?

Not the OP but I’m pretty sure that that’s an HHKB. I use one, too. Mine is the HHKB Professional Hybrid Type-S. The S in Type-S stands for “silent”. It’s certainly not silent but it’s very, very quiet. Quieter than the Apple Magic Keyboards and much quieter than mechanical keyboards. (It’s technically not a mechanical keyboard, strictly speaking, though it certainly looks like one.)
I’ve had mine for 3–4 years or so and I absolutely love it. I type a lot for work and find the sound and feel to be perfect. Do some research though, as some people dislike them.
It’s a somewhat quirky keyboard, and there is a learning curve of a few weeks as the keyboard doesn’t have dedicated arrow keys (arrows are accessible with Fn key combinations).
I should add, one of the nice surprises was that you can use the Vol_Dn, Vol_Up and Mute keys to control volume in macOS, and the ScrLk and Pus/Brk keys to control brightness!
Some minor tweaks. Loving it so far, will be replacing desk mat with black leather one.
"Looks like" 3360x1418 (ultra wide) and 2560x1440 (16x9). Unfortunately, macOS doesn't offer a 1440-vertical for the ultra wide, and no other "same vertical" other than 1080 or 2160. But 1418 vs 1440 vertical "looks like" are close enough.
The available resolutions are: 5120x2160, 3840x1620, 3360x1418, 3200x1350, 3008x1269, and 2560x1080 (Default) (And lower, not bothering to show the lower as they're ridiculous.)

This is my current setup. Left an iMac (2009) only used as a monitor, center a Thunderbolt display and right my most recent iMac (2019) which drives all three monitors. I am waiting for the Mac Mini with M3 to be released, hopefully this fall, after which I wish to upgrade/replace this setup with a Mac Mini with two (curved) monitors.
Recently switched to the Logitech MX Mini keyboard and wow, never thought anything would beat my HHKB in terms of typing experience but this one does!
It was sitting on the desk but wanted a cleaner desktop so moved it to the desk cabinet

Love the rustic look of the walls.
Can I ask how difficult it was to install the monitor riser please? I'd love to get 2 for my monitors.
They're very simple to install. Either clamping on to the desk or drill through the desk top. Mine is through the desktop but works exactly the same.
I've had a few different types or monitor arms and they've all been very easy to set up
Got rid of the desk, went the 13" as an actual 'laptop'.
My goodness, it has been at least 3 decades since I last played Connect4. Oh the memories...!
I have a series x, ps5, Alienware laptop, gaming PC yet the game my gf and I play the most is some how connect 4 hahah. It’s lots of fun.

Primary system is my 13" M2 MBP. Secondary system is a win11 pro dev system on the right. I work in Hazardous Waste, and work from home more often than not these days. So, I still need windows for some of that software, and to print federal documents on that dot-matrix printer, seen in the far right edge of the photo.
Still have some shelves to put on the wall above. But I need some recommendations for monitor risers. I really like the Grovemade options. But Im not sure on what size to get. My gut says to buy the biggest one they have, for some more space, and keeping both monitors on. but im undecided... maybe if anyone has anything similar, and could post pics, id be able to come to a conclusion.
Anyway, thanks for checking out my build.
Nice setup!
It's not a riser per se, but I love my dual monitor arm. It really frees up a ton of space on the desktop by getting rid of the monitor bases. And it also allows you to fine tune the setup. With a riser, your screens are going to be exactly as high as the stand, while with the arm, you can tweak them to your exact preference.
Crazy to see a dot matrix printer still in use!
Yep had an ITX desktop (5800X, 6900 XT, 34" UW + 27" 1440p vertical), I don't really need the mobility but my usage is pretty basic now and downsizing to the laptop has been nice.
I’ve upgraded to a Mac mini M2!
First Apple desktop since my 2017 iMac, and I love it!
