    Hello. I had the same caps lock button issues. He didn't work anymore so I went to the accessibility options and set it. So when it's on does a bip, when it's off does a bop lol
    Love the way your Marshal speakers perfectly fits into the "foot of your screen" (sorry I don't know the word in English, i'm French 🤭)

  • @arelunk
    @arelunk 3 роки тому +5

    I rely on the caps lock light on my laptop keyboard when I press it on the Logitech's. It takes getting used to, no doubt. By the way, I wonder how strong is the lamp clip hugging the monitor screen. Would it leave marks after awhile? I love the minimalistic setup, and can we talk about that idea of repurposing the Jenga blocks? Genius!

    • @KylieSiow
      @KylieSiow  3 роки тому +4

      I downloaded the Logitech driver onto my laptop later on and now every time I press the caps lock button, there's an indication on the screen so that helps!
      As for the screen light, my monitor is reeaally thin so the clip doesn't actually clamp tightly on my screen. It's really just sitting on top of it with the clamp acting as a "hook" without actually pressing onto the screen (not sure if this makes sense), so I don't think it would leave marks on my screen.
      If you monitor bezel is thicker then this shouldn't be an issue!

    Nice setup Kylie, but I have a suggestion for you. I have the same monitor (HP 24 mh, basically the same monitor with speakers) and the baseus monitor light bar, at first I stuck the light bar on the top of the monitor with its clamp like you do even though it obstruct the screen a bit. But when I was watching a movie, especially when it was showing a black background, I noticed the clamp is a little too strong for the monitor screen and it presses the screen and causes a bit of a light bleed. I was worried it would cause some damage to the monitor in the long run.
    So I put a piece of plastic between the top of the monitor and the light bar so the clamp don't press against the monitor directly and stuck a heavy duty double sided 3M tape at the back of the monitor to the part of the light bar that is pushing against it, now the clamp doesn't obstruct the screen and more importantly it doesn't presses against the screen. Hope it helps!

    • @KylieSiow
      @KylieSiow  3 роки тому +1

      Hello! thank you so much for your input! :)
      It's strange because the clamp of the light isn't actually pressed tightly onto my screen because of how thin the monitor is! Even the most narrow adjustment on the clamp is too thick to be clamping on the screen so it's just resting on top, if that makes sense at all.
      I actually like it that way because it sits well on the monitor but doesn't apply any pressure onto the screen at all!
      Thank you so much for the useful tip! 😊

    Cool setup. But I don't recommend using macs in clamshell mode for long periods.
    Rubber shield around my mac's screen started getting sticky/melting from heat after a year of use.
    It leaves black imprints when closed for extended periods. Just a heads up.

      ahhh! I was doing that with my old macbook a lot and I had no idea why the rubber was getting sticky! Thank you so much for this, will definitely keep this in mind!
