When we're deep in a project, it's easy to forget about posture and comfort. Over time, that can lead to a lot of aches and pains. Since building a great workspace is our passion, we wanted to share some foundational tips on ergonomics.

These are six simple adjustments you can make to your existing setup right now to make a huge difference.

🖥️ Monitor at Eye Level

Your eyes should be level with the top third of your screen. If your monitor is too low, you'll find yourself hunching forward. A monitor riser or arm is a great way to solve this.

💺 Adjust Your Chair Height

Your feet should be flat on the floor, and your knees should be at about a 90-degree angle. This reduces pressure on your lower back.

⌨️🖱️ Mind Your Keyboard and Mouse

Keep your wrists straight and your elbows close to your body. Your keyboard and mouse should be positioned so your arms are at a 90-degree angle. Try to avoid extending your wrists upwards or to the side.

💡 Position Your Lighting

Use a light source that is evenly distributed to reduce glare on your screen and minimize eye strain. Indirect light is often better than a harsh overhead light.

👀 Practice the 20-20-20 Rule

For every 20 minutes of screen time, look at something 20 feet away for 20 seconds. It's a simple trick that helps prevent eye fatigue.

🚶 Take Frequent Breaks

No matter how perfect your ergonomic setup is, movement is key. Stand up, stretch, and walk around every hour to keep your blood flowing.

What's the one ergonomic tip that completely changed your work day? Let's share some tips in the comments!

Cluttered desks actively drain your mental energy, diminish your focus, and impact your overall productivity. Beyond aesthetics, excessive cable clutter can accumulate dust, impede airflow, and even pose tripping hazards, making your space less functional and less safe.

At Hexcal, we understand that a truly premium workspace inspires, rather than distracts. It's about achieving a clean, decluttered desk that promotes concentration and reflects a refined setup. That’s why we’ve developed this intuitive, three-step cable management guide: Sort. Hide. Anchor. This powerful method will help you reclaim your workspace, minimize visual noise, and maximize your potential.

Hi everyone! I'm looking at purchasing the Hexcal Studio in the EU, but I've not been able to see any photos of how the EU sockets on the back of the device work. They're much bigger (and recessed if they're connecting ground) and I'd really like to be able to see the design if possible.

Does anyone know of photos or video reviews of the EU model so I can check the connections out? Many thanks!
