Been experimenting with the lighting and overall feel of the desk lately.
I added a small animated visual on the phone beside the monitor and liked how it worked with the RGB lighting.

What do u think looks better?

Is anyone interested in a larger version of this?

I’m hoping to convince the guys at Origin that there’s a market for it.

I feel like a nice 17x32 would be comfortable and patina nicely with use.

I've had pretty much the same desk setup for years, and since I spend so much time here, I'd really like to change things up a bit. I'm getting tired of looking at the same space every day and want to make it more comfortable and enjoyable to use.

I've included photos of the room from two opposite corners, as well as shots of the desk with natural lighting and with the desktop lighting or the general lighting on.

A few things to keep in mind:

• I can't really move the big furniture around (bed, desk, wardrobe, etc.).
• My budget is around €200-300 if it's necessary.
• I'm open to removing things, rearranging smaller items, changing the lighting, adding decorations, or making more significant changes.
• I barely use the second monitor anymore, and honestly haven't missed it much over the last six months, so I'm open to getting rid of it if that would help.

I'm not necessarily trying to build the ultimate gaming setup. I just want the desk and the room around it to feel better to spend time in.

I'm open to pretty much any suggestions, even if they sound a bit unrealistic at first. Feel free to point out things you'd remove, change, or do completely differently. I'll consider anything!

Tyyy

I've been optimizing it for quite a while and thought I'd show you my current setup.

• DELL ultrawide screen (U4025QW)
• Insta360 webcam
• I mounted a small screen behind the webcam, which I use for video meetings so I can look directly at the people I'm talking to. Otherwise, I also use the screen for Apple Music or similar (Here I described it in more detail.)
• Webcam Light: Elgato Key Light Neo
• Rode microphone
• Mouse: Logitech MX Master 4 (I previously had the Apple mouse, but the Logitech fits much better in the hand!)
• Desktop wallpaper: Solar Gradients by Apple (love it!)
• Elgato Stream Deck Plus to control lighting, microphone, etc.
• Chrome start page: Startwerk extension for Google Chrome (I don't like Google's default new tab page, so I built my own plugin for it and published it for free in the Chrome Store 🙂)

I hope you like it. Do you have any questions?

I mostly use my desk to study and read books I barely use the pc :p

Hi! This is my setup. It might not be the most aesthetically pleasing, since I’m on a tight budget, but I’ve spent around $550 over the past six months. I’m planning to get an RK98S mechanical keyboard in December, and all that’s left after that is adding a few IKEA shelves. I think it’ll be pretty much perfect! The only thing I’d still like to change is my mouse. I didn’t think a wireless one was that necessary until the cables started bothering me so much.

First time I invested into making my setup nice. I do some competitive gaming, school work and regular work. Planning on getting a nice desktop in a couple months which will replace the monitor on the right!

Any thougts?
