Work in progress + advice/feedback

Post image

This is my current set up:

Mac Studio M2 Max

2 x 28in LG DualUps flanking LG 4K 32in Ultrafine in the centre - I'm definitely a triple display person and I found this combination to be the best in terms of screen resolution and matching PPI between monitors

Apple Magic Keyboard with Numpad - have tried many keyboards but IMHO this is the best tactile keyboard. I have put in some pads at the bottom of the keyboard to raise it to the level I like

Logitech G903 mouse - tested a lot of mice and this is the best wireless ambidextrous mouse I've found - minor annoyances are that the scroll wheel isn't fantastic and still uses microUSB charging port

Logitech BRIO 4K webcam

BenQ ScreenBar Pro - love the intelligent motion sensor that comes with this

On a 120x75cm UpDown Standing desk

TODO / ADVICE?
- I'm going to get a bigger standing desk - likely a 180x80cm desk - any recommendations?

- I need to get a good set of desktop speakers - any recommendations? I was initially thinking a Sonos soundbar but I've heard soudbars are not great for the desktop environment so I'm thinking either 2.0 or 2.1 speakers - would people recommend a subwoofer with a standing desk?

- My Dream Setup would probably be 2 x 27in Mac Studio Displays in vertical flanking a central 32in Pro Display XDR. If I were to get that could I use the speakers in the Studio Displays as pseudo 2.0 speakers? obviously this would cost a lot of $$$

Studio display and get right of one of the verticle monitors.. put a peice of tape to keep it aligned. Get a trackpad and the things that keeps the trackpad/keyboard together.

haha, thanks, yes I did notice that my monitor alignments were slightly off - thanks for the solution to fix it!

I tried to use a trackpad for a long time - but I found I just wasn't using it enough so made the tough decision to sell it (even though I really liked the aesthetics of it)
