Gear
An attempt to catalog all of the gear I use on a regular basis. Updated occasionally.
Desk Setup
| Item | Category | Purchase Date | Notes |
| Secret Labs Magnus Pro XL | Ergonomics | 2/4/2026 | Really like this desk. The magnetic surface and accessories have served me well. |
| Samsung 49″ Odyssey G9 | Monitor | 1/11/2026 | I didn’t think I needed a super ultrawide, until I got one. I can’t imagine going back. |
| Level1Techs 1.4 Display Port KVM Switch – Single Monitor – Two Computer | Hardware | 7/16/2025 | I regularly swap between my laptop and a powerful gaming desktop. This KVM handles it all. |
| Monoprice MM-3 Bookshelf Speakers | Audio | 1/2/2021 | These were the best speakers I could find at their pricepoint and size in 2021. I only paid $180 for a used pair on eBay. Still holding strong, good enough. |
| Focusrite Scarlett Solo 4th Gen | Audio | 11/25/2024 | My primary audio interface. Occasionally use them to record instruments. No complaints. |
| Rode Procaster | Audio | 6/1/2018 | I have no complaints with this mic. It is built like a tank and sounds great. But if you’re building a kit from scratch, I recommend the Shure MV7. |
| Yololive YoloCam S3 | Video | 2/11/2026 | I used to have a complicated mirrorless camera setup. My new office couldn’t accomodate the bulk, so I switched to the YoloCam S3. It works well and looks pretty good for a camera in this category. |
| Moonlander | Keyboard | 8/../2020 | I’m a sucker for a split keyboard and the Moonlander is my current favorite (that I’ve owned.) If you’re new to split/ergo keyboards, I’d recommend checking out the Voyager. |
| Logitech G Pro X Superlight | Mouse | 11/23/2024 | I’ve been using Logitech mice for over a decade. Their software is pretty meh, but the battery on this mouse lasts 3-4 weeks and I use it 12+ hours a day. |
| Elgato Keylight | Ligthing | 1/9/2026 | Software is kinda clunky, but I can connect it to Home Assistant and it works. |
Computers
| Item | Category | Purchase Date | Notes |
| Framework Laptop 13 DIY Edition (AMD AI 300 Series, 96 GB RAM, 2TB NVME) | Laptop | 6/15/2025 | This is my daily driver. Running Omarchy. |
| MacBook Pro 14″ M4 Max | Laptop | 7/1/2025 | My primary work computer. Does the job, but I would love to daily-drive an Omarchy machine. |
| DIY Desktop (i7-13700k, 128 GB RAM, 4080) | Desktop | 11/28/2023 | My primary gaming machine. Currently running Windows 11 Pro. When SteamOS has full NVIDIA support I will migrate it to SteamOS. I avoid Windows whenever I can. |
Home Network
| Item | Category | Purchase Date | Notes |
| Ubiquiti Cloud Home Gateway Ultra | Router/Switch | 10/10/2025 | I used an EdgeRouterX for almost a decade and finally had to upgrade after it died. No complaints. Will likely upgrade to a router with all 2.5G ports at some points. |
| Unifi U6 Lite | Access Point | 02/25/2024 | Does the job. Will likely upgrade to a different AP when the next gen of Unifi lite devices are released. |
| Unifi U7 Lite | Access Point | 9/01/2026 | Great access point, perfect for my home environment. |
| Ubiquiti Flex 2.5G 8-Port Managed Network Switch | Switch | 9/05/2026 | Great little managed switch that fits my 10″ mini rack. Should have purchased the PoE++ version, may replace my TP Link with one at some point in the next year. |
| TP-Link TL-SG1005P | Switch | 8/13/2023 | Cheapest PoE++ switch that I could find to fit my mini rack. Will likely replace with a managed Ubiquiti switch down the road. |
Homelab
| Item | Category | Purchase Date | Notes |
| Lenovo M920Q (i5-8500T, 32 GB RAM) | Servers | 9/08/2026 | Affordable 1L machine that fits in my mini rack. Plenty of power for my VMs. |
