Thanks for that
I think it would be more noticeable on higher refresh rate, but if you're fine with it I'm sure I will be.I have found using a trackpad is easier on my wrist, able to keep it neutral.
Got a tip for us?

Absolutely bang on about the cost saving. My office is smack bang next to a massive shopping centre with loadsa great take aways and restaurants. Oh and Five Guys for milkshakes. I'd be spending my whole days earning there 🤣
Took a random shot the other night while listening to some tracker tunes (on the 486 w/ GUS behind me, out of shot) and watching the chats (IRC, Slack, Discord) on the Mac Studio (left, two screens: HP LP2065 and LG DualUp, both rotated) and the gaming PC (right: 32-inch curved Samsung 1440p 16:9).

did you adjust those pictures? why do your monitors look as clear as a paint on a wall?
No unusual adjustments - just took the pic. iPhone 15 Pro Max is very good in low light, perhaps that's it. They are high quality displays -- but nothing with the fidelity of a current Apple Cinema display.
Maybe it's the dark room?

Missing desk ergonomics.. Will add a Studio Display later.
Flexispot E7, only had Ikea desks to compare to. Build seems good, pretty stable if I press down on it, moves 5-10mm.
Edit: dug out my deskmat, also tried using a mouse but wasn't feeling it. Will prob commit to the trackpad when I grab a monitor.

Everytime I see a Macbook only Setup I think it looks so clean and focused!
I agree, but I love the practicality of having a desktop monitor so typically end up with it clamshell. But not as nice aesthetics.
Same, unfortunately it usually just represents a place where only little work is being done before the low ergonomics of a laptop come to bug you. At that point, at least myself, could not give a damn about clean and focused on making it work for me.
iPad Pro is unbeatable in this regard. I sometimes look at my desk and think wow, this is the paradisian life.
I'm in need of a new iPad as my trusted Air 2 is on almost it's final charge, so will look at the Pro. I'm totally clueless of all the releases on over the last few years.
Just purchased a MacBook Pro 16 M3 Max with a Dell 40" Ultrasharp 5K 120hz display.
Finally switched my old HP monitor for an Eizo EV2785. Liking it a lot!
'Docking station' for the MacBook Air M2 in the drawer remains but now only has one cable from laptop to all equipment.

Working great. I am eyeing the same one in the wireless but can only find it available in the U.S. in this white version. No luck in Switzerland and don’t have a trip to States coming up.
there keys seem to squished together. Does this provide better typing experience? I am using macbook 2015 and the keys are much more spaced out
I really like the Logitech Mechanical Mini. Provides a nice typing experience, though not as good as the old Apple Extended Keyboard that I still have...but that's just too big on the desk and pushes my trackball too far to the right. I am switching between the Logitech and the Magic Keyboard because often the mechanical keyboard is too noisy for others in our office.
The monitor has two USB-A ports. I have the trackball connected to one of them (low power one), the other is connected to a small passive 4-USB hub that connects to webcam and some other charging cables, concretely a Lightning and a USB-C cable, that are hidden behind the desk until they are needed. Works flawlessly and charging speeds on those cables are actually pretty good.
For video conferences, I am using wired EarPods that I connect to an audio out directly on the monitor. The port does not support a microphone but this is no problem as I am always using the Logitech webcam's dual microphone anyway.
The distance between the keys is fine. I am more struggling with the different layout between this one and the Magic Keyboard. Keep getting lost around the arrow keys on the right bottom. Also, I have started to use the Fn + backspace to forward delete - does not work as well on the Logitech as they move the Fn to the right hand side.
