Reviewing Everything on my Desk! (2026)

Quick Overview

The reviewer details the evolution of their desk setup over several years, highlighting the current setup featuring a massive 96-inch XDesk Air standing desk, dual Apple Pro Display XDR monitors, a custom mechanical keyboard, and high-end audio gear, while rating individual components like the desk (9/10), the Grovemade Desk Shelf (10/10), the Yamaha HS8 monitors (9/10), the audio interface (4/10), the Logitech MX Master 4 mouse (9/10), the Artisan Ninja FX Hien mousepad (9/10), the Keychron Rainy 75 keyboard (8/10), the Oppo 50W AirVOOC Wireless Charger (8/10), and the Sennheiser HD 650 headphones (8/10).

Key Points: The current desk setup is built around a massive 96-inch by 38-inch XDesk Air electric sit-stand desk, which the reviewer rates 9/10 for its stability and build quality. The primary displays are dual Apple Pro Display XDR monitors, which cost $5,000 each (totaling $10,000 for the pair), and are rated 8/10 primarily due to the difficulty of keeping the anti-reflective coating clean. The computer powering the setup is an Apple Mac Pro (M2 Ultra configuration with 192GB RAM and 8TB storage), which the reviewer rates 4/10 due to lack of updates and its reliance on external PCI-e SSDs for storage. The reviewer uses a custom mechanical keyboard (Keychron Rainy 75 Lite) rated 8/10 and a Logitech MX Master 4 mouse rated 9/10, preferring the new mouse's finish and ergonomics over its predecessor. Audio equipment includes Yamaha HS8 Powered Studio Monitors, rated 9/10 for their performance, and a Universal Audio Apollo Twin MkII audio interface, rated poorly at 4/10 due to buggy software requiring frequent resets. The desk features several accessories, including an Artisan Ninja FX Hien mousepad (9/10), a Grovemade Desk Shelf (10/10), and a Belkin 3-in-1 wireless charging pad for multiple Apple devices (6/10 due to slow charging). The setup has evolved significantly since 2018, moving from an iMac setup to the current high-end dual-monitor configuration.
