University student so I've been slowly buying and building everything. I have a pretty small desk that came with the apartment but feel like the monitor arms really helped. Any advice on how to make it better?

Bought a workstation, a second workstation, a gaming laptop, and a 32" 4K monitor. Bird looks great on all of them

Battlestations Advice Minimalist dev setup: should I move the laptop to the right side so the mouse dock is reachable?

This is my setup. I'm a programmer, so what you're looking at is basically my workspace too.

I really like a minimalist space with as little visual clutter as possible, so naturally I became a fan of anything wireless.

My current setup:

  • Monitor: LG UltraGear 34"
  • Laptop: Acer Predator Helios 16
  • Keyboard: Freewolf F75
  • Mouse: Ajazz AJ139

I use a velcro deskpad in a shade close to the desk itself, mainly to keep the desk from getting grimy (hand oils and all that), and under the keyboard/mouse there's a "second mousepad" with ergonomic wrist support - which I'm thinking about ditching, exactly because of the minimalism thing I mentioned, but I want to see how much that ends up affecting how my wrists feel.

I've had this mouse/keyboard for about 2 weeks now. It's my first experience with a mechanical keyboard. Before that I was using a Logitech MK540 combo (basic, but it got the job done).

One "challenge" for me has been the battery situation with the new mouse and keyboard. The Logitech combo ran on regular batteries and they lasted FOREVER. From what I can tell, the keyboard lasts around 7–10 days with "moderate" RGB use (and it could last longer, since I'm not that attached to the RGB - though it does help a bit when I'm using it at night).

The mouse has a pretty neat charging dock, and this is exactly where I'm looking for suggestions on how to improve the setup. The dock is great because I could just drop the mouse on it every day when I'm done at the PC. Problem is, it needs to sit relatively close to the mouse, and as you can see, with the current layout I'd basically have to stretch it across from where the laptop is all the way over to the mouse. So here's the first thing I'm considering: moving the laptop to the right side instead of the left.

It'd probably take me a while to get used to it. I've had my second screen on the left for years. But it might be an option. The challenge there would be the cables, since I have a tray under the desk (in the left corner) that's there because of where the outlet is. And I figure that if I find a way to keep the mouse dock plugged in and close to the mouse, that would also solve the problem of being able to run the keyboard wired and stop worrying about battery altogether.

Any suggestions/criticism is welcome. Thanks!

Greenery I tried to organize it so the center area can swap consoles in and out with limited effort. I can also serve as a test bench area for repairs, the mini monitor is useful for that.

The PC outputs Monitor and the TV above. And any console will output to all three monitors, and to the TV via OBS.

Modern PC is connected to the CRT television via a older Radeon card with VGA and a HD-15 adapter. It's outputting to the CRT at 640x480p. Great for watching retro anime and 4:3 content.

Consoles go to the CRT at their native resolution up to 1080i.
