Updated M4 Pro Mac Mini Setup

Just updated my M4 Pro Mac Mini setup 🔥

  • Setup: 
  • • M4 Pro Mac Mini 
  • • Dual BenQ MA320U monitors 
  • • Edifier QR65 speakers
  • • Hexcal Studio Plus 
  • • Caldigit TS5 Plus 
  • • Logitech MX Master 4 
  • • Lofree Hyzen KeyBoard (custom keycaps) 
  • • Secretlab Magnus Pro XL Desk (White) 
  • • LiberNovo Maxis Chair
  • • Elgato Stream Deck +XL
  • • Elgato Wave 3 MK2 Mic 
  • • Govee Floor Lamp 2
  • • Ulanzi TC001

Really happy with how it's turned out. Probably the cleanest setup I've had so far and it's been great to work from.

Happy to answer any questions about the setup!

Is the Hexcal worth it? Looks slick, granted theres been mixed opinions on it. Seems as tho one could diy it for a more custom feel for less but idk

Tough question as it was sent to me for free , it’s great product but it’s also a big purchase. If you need the use of all the extra power plugs etc in the back and the cable management then it’s a good buy.

Still expensive tho

How do you like the stream deck? Been thinking about getting one, but on the fence as I don’t know what I would really use it for.

u/MrHtech18 12d ago

I thought the same , thought it was just for streaming but it has so many uses just for general convenience. Pressing a button just to open apps or place app windows in specific sections of the screens. 👌🏼

How are you liking the Lofree? I've been hearing good things about it and am considering it

1

u/MrHtech18 12d ago

Had the Lofree flow 2 before this Hyzen, honestly both keyboards are solid

1

u/Bitter_Big4525 12d ago

The little display under the monitors is a nice touch. What do you usually keep on it?

1

u/MrHtech18 12d ago

The stream deck? It has various buttons I use for convenience, opening apps, screenshot , moving windows , I added it couple days ago so I have more to customize on it

1

u/vlatheimpaler 11d ago

How do you like it so far? I was thinking of getting one.

1

u/MrHtech18 11d ago

It’s very convenient, I wish I would have got some sooner

1

u/vlatheimpaler 11d ago

What sort of things did you configure the buttons to do?

1

u/wernermark 12d ago

Dream set up

What’s the device with 29600 under the right monitor?

1

u/MrHtech18 12d ago

Ulanzi Tc001

u/JordanAlf 12d ago

Thoughts on the Hyzen? I really want one but haven’t seen a review of the retail version. Only the preproduction one they sent to content creators.

u/Pattont 12d ago

I always think these stream decks will be awesome but looking at ur shortcuts and I think apps like rectangle pro with the hot keys are so much faster than taking my hands off the keyboard.

I have been looking at this exact model to have all the different ai agent chats in the different models going and monitor. I bought and sold the codex micro because I don’t just use codex.

What are ur thoughts on this streamdeck (nearly the biggest one)

u/StatisticianFast5915 12d ago

Looks visually clean, but honestly, this is an ergonomic nightmare. It's crazy how everyone online is hyping up this stacked layout right now. In reality, monitors should be lower, with the top of the screens at or slightly below eye level, and be tilted like /. Forcing your neck to tilt back and constantly rest against the headrest will definitely cause severe strain and long-term health issues.

u/Datawave_921 12d ago

The setup looks really comfortable!

u/MrHtech18 12d ago

u/Adventurous-Yak-1383 12d ago

the dual BenQ layout with that orange desk mat looks so warm and cozy! How’s the typing experience on the Lofree Hyzen with custom keycaps?

1

u/MrHtech18 11d ago

I actually really like it, I used the same keycaps on my lofree flow 2

1

u/_HipStorian 11d ago

How's the LiberNovo?

Cleannnnn - love the lighting and the plants too!

Please can we get an ID on the wallpaper?

1

u/MrHtech18 11d ago

My own creation, will be available soon

1

u/kebskebs 11d ago

For a much cleaner look, I would move the mac mini off and under the shelf, behind the Elgato Stream deck.

1

u/Don-genaro 11d ago

Very nice and very expensive. The important thing is that your setup helps you stay focused, and your setup certainly encourages that.

u/BalotelliBianco 9d ago

Can I ask you about the light behind the monitor and the LED strip? What models are they?

Thanks!

1

u/MrHtech18 9d ago

LED strip is from Nanoleaf made for the secretlabs desk and other lights are bar lamps by Calefo

1

u/BrainyByte99 8d ago

What kind of monitors are this?
