Well I have the older version of the wireless keyboard and trackpad. Sucks to have to keep changing the batteries. But they do work pretty well otherwise. Does the new trackpad have a physical click like the old one or is it more "force touch"?
Got a tip for us?

Force Touch, which I personally prefer as well since you can click anywhere with ease. As well as activate Silent Click.
Maybe if I can find them used on Kijiji I'd get them. Brand new it's too expensive. I got my older versions off Kijiji. Both for $100.
A little update. New desk!
Found this BlueLounge StudioDesk XL second hand from a company who were switching desks. Paid 200USD for it, and considering the 800USD price for a new one, I couldn't resist. So I got it!
Perfect condition!
Here is the desk with everything assembled.
Macbook 12" Early 2016
iMac Retina Late 2014
200 for that desk is a steal. I would do that for that desk any day given the chance. You sure are lucky.

Tell me about the black mat under the keyboard/trackpad. Is that part of the desk or is it separate? I have something similar, but I like how yours wraps around the front of the desk ... seems like it would help hold it in place. Mine "walks" around the desktop and I use it and bump it.
I sure was
, and he was selling them both for 300USD, but my girlfriend didn't want one sooooo. Haha.I would never have paid the full new price for this desk, since there are so many other nice desks out there that are less than half the price.
Yeah so the black mat covers the cable management box which resides under the desk, so its part of the desk. Hence why it wraps so nicely around the desk. It was a little bit broken around the place where it wrapped around, so I had to glue it, but it seems to work just fine!
Its nice to have the leather cover since it keeps everything in place, as well as a nice rest for the arms. I'm gonna try to buy a new once from the since the one I got with the desk was quite used!
The dead beauty...
It's a 24" Late 2006 iMac, with a Core 2 Duo@2,16GHz, 4Gb of RAM and the faulty GeForce 7300GT, it's running Lion 10.7.5 x)

Very nice desk. I love how the Beats matches your setup, the color is perfect.
I'm using myself a pair of Beats which are 3 or 4 years old now and using it while doing workouts. Now it smells so bad since I'm wearing it & sweating at the same time. So thinking about buying a new one, cause sometimes the headphones are giving weird sounds so I think it's slightly dying.
Hi, Where did you get that skull? and where do you purchase all those statues and stuff? Awesome setup!!!

Online mostly. The only hard-to-find things in the picture are the Ludwig Van Ultraviolence bust (by Frank Kozik) and the big Martian tripod (by me).
Is the MBP powering that set up?
This set up is beautiful. What monitor are you using? (Hard to see what brand it is)
I'm still content with my Mac Pro, I bought it used last year
and made some upgrades.
Here's my setup at work, with the 24" early 2008 iMac that I brought in for my classroom.
Just get rid of that Lighting Logo and replace it with a NY Ranger one.... (and give us back Callahan please, Boyle you can keep)
Here's mine:

Thought I'd update you guys because I got a real Mac Pro! Needed something with more grunt for FCPX and Motion 5 that my mid-2010 15" MBP could handle.
My Gaming PC, or the other side of the room.
