Hey what is up my name is Keo,
and welcome to my channel if you’re new
here i’m a university student and in
this video i’ll be taking you through a
tour of my
Desk Setup for 2020.
My desk has gone through pretty big
changes in terms of
where things are placed from primary
school to high school to
university. And because i can actually
afford what is on my desk right now
I feel like this setup is the most
comfortable and pleasing to me
there are three things that i go for for
my desk setup that is aesthetics,
ergonomics and productivity.
So we’ll
start off with the desk
I can’t really tell you too much
information about it because it has
literally been here for more than 10
years ever since we moved into the house
but it still holds up pretty nicely
there are a few dents and scratches here
and there but
overall it still looks nice and I like
the fact that it’s white and looks clean
then we move on to the second most
important thing on the desk which is my
laptop
I feel like this is a due upgrade since
I have been using my old laptop for
almost five years now and it’s still
good for everyday work but it’s just
too slow for my workflow and I felt like
i needed an upgrad e once i get into university.
This laptop is the Asus ROG Zephyrus GU502
It’s a little over a year old but for
any of you that are interested this
beast is running the
i7 9750H processor and RTX
2060 graphics
It also has 32GBs of ram
and 1TB of SSD storage
I might have gone overkill with the
specs but i’m sure it will last
maybe five or six years hopefully even
more with these specs
As for peripherals personally i like the
wireless experience, it makes the desk
less cluttered so i went for a
wireless mouse and yshield tech keyboard
the mouse that i have is the Logitech G602
I’ve used it for almost four years now
and yshield tech I like it because it’s ergonomic
there are lots of customizable
buttons on the side and you can set
macro keys to them which really improves
my productivity
the keyboard that I have is the Anne Pro 2
mechanical keyboard
this keyboard is probably one of my best
purchases this year because it just
makes the typing experience much more
satisfying and enjoyable especially when
i’m subjected to type
long essays when there’s school
I bought this off carousel for half the original price because
I’m broke af and originally
the keyboard is white but I decided to
get some off-market black pudding
keycaps so it kind of offsets the table
a bit and looks more contrasting with
the white desk
it has per-key RGB lighting and via software you
can customize it to
whatever you want
The pudding keycaps
really makes the RGB pop
when it gets dark so i think it looks
pretty neat
typing asmr
Then we move on to accessories
To the left of my laptop there is a
charger/speaker dock and on it there is
a 3rd Gen iPad
They’re both a gift from my aunt and I use
it only for playing music
because the speakers on it is crisp and
clear even on lower volumes
I used to dock my iPod on there but it’s
just too hard to use the small controls
so i settled with the iPad instead
To the right of my laptop
there is my favorite thing on my desk
which is a desk light
I absolutely love it, it’s cute af
and I feel like it adds character to my desk setup
especially at night when I don’t
need to use the main bedroom light
I can just turn this light on and gives
out a nice warm ambience
on the back of my laptop there is a
small ledge on which i put anything
miscellaneous on it just for decoration
purposes like a fake ikea plant
a crystal ball a fidget cube and my
brother’s broken phone
this ledge also acts as a good alcove
to hide the cables
To keep my table as clutter free as
possible i tried to minimize the amount
of visible cables on the desk
to do that i routed my laptop charger
behind the speaker and both of these
wires run up the corner of the table up
to the main plugs which is on the shelf
above my desk
to keep myself comfortable while sitting
at my table for many hours a day
especially now, I have invested in a few
things
an office chair, a foot rest and a laptop
stand
both the height and the armrest of the
chair is fully adjustable and I
especially like the recline lock on the
chair so I can adjust to my liking while
I’m doing different tasks
but typically i like to recline a bit
while I work or game (mostly game)
just because it’s much more comfortable
To keep the monitor at eye level I
bought
a laptop stand and stacked my high
school notes at the bottom to raise the laptop
It improves cooling of the laptop and
you don’t have to crane over to view the
screen
which is not really good for your neck…
While I enjoy the somewhat minimal
design to my desk I still wanted to add
some character to my workspace
so on the left hand side where the
wardrobe door meets the table
I have stuck things that I found
meaningful on it like cards, polaroid
some watches and some kpop related items
just to add a bit of color and character
into the space
On the right side of the table there is
a shelf where I put the rest of my
stuffs
on the top there’s a lot of playing
cards some books and notebooks
in the middle is where I put my everyday
carry like wallet earbuds
and portable charger
on the bottom there
are toiletries
cases for my glasses and other
miscellaneous things
The more time that I spend on my desk
the more I think about how I can improve
my desk setup both aesthetically and
ergonomically
without compromising my wallet
and what I need on a daily basis
As for now I’m more than pleased
with my desk setup
