In last 5 years for me:

  • a pair of decent (second hand) speakers
  • a cheap (blue switches ftw) mechanical keyboard
  • a standing desk
  • an ergonomic chair

(sorry it's not single item...)

What keyboard did you get? I'm searching for a good ergonomic one that won't break the bank

I've been using Microsoft natural ergonomic keyboards for years. They are a split keyboard (one piece) and I use the corded version.

Everything else just seems insanely expensive.

Oh looks like I'm set then, that's what I'm using right now lol! Thanks!

I personally haven't tried the ergonomic keyboards yet, have been using Ducky One 2 for a few years and recently got KBDcraft Kit Adam (Lego keyboard) and I'm enjoying this one, super soft and nice sounding switches. From the ergonomic keyboards I've seen Keychron K11 Pro as an interesting one, but you'd have to see if it fits you, I can't really recommend any myself.

Ooh a Lego keyboard? Nice! I'll look into those, thanks!

i got a cheap gamer's keyboard that happened to have blue switches, the cheapest i actually found with Cherry MX Blue (so, some mechanical keyboard nerds will say this is sh*t and they'll probably be right). It's an "HyperX Alloy". it has these annoyingly red LED, but i don't really care. I recommend it for the price though (I paid around 90 buck back then)

I'll look into it, thanks!

Sit stand desks change your life

[-] QuarterSwede@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

Even just a sit stand converter like Varidesk sells is a game changer. I lost 5 lbs the first week I got it at work.

You lost weight just by standing?

[-] MigratingtoLemmy@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

Could you tell me about all of them? Which model, what do you like about then etc?
