Ive seen hundreds of setup videos over the years and this one just hits different for me its like looking at my dream setup of the future.The black and brown contrast is amazing the wood makes it feel cozy. Its just perfect thanks so much for sharing it with us and inspiring me to do one like this.
@ienkhbr thank you, it’s always updating and there will be a new video on it at the end of the month, but if you want a sneak peak. Check out my latest video :)
This is a great setup that actually gave me some ideas for my own. Every time someone says "small space" its just a full bedroom dedicated as their office. Its great to see someone else who has their office in their bedroom and are trying to make it work. Keep it up!
Thanks Keith! I try to keep it ‘real’ on this channel as I don’t want people to think stuff I put out is genuine or untrustworthy 😅. I’ve got more ideas for the space and hopefully a few big changes in the next few months
14:02 Yamazaki 🥃 on deck. I completely agree with you on Japanese whiskey, especially Yamazaki-it’s worth every penny despite the premium price. Yamazaki 12 has such a smooth and balanced profile, with just the right amount of complexity to keep you sipping slowly and savoring every drop. Then there’s Yamazaki 18, which is just a whole new world-rich, bold, and layered with flavors that you can’t help but appreciate. Hibiki 21 and Hakushu 17 are also fantastic, each with their own unique character, but they all share that signature high quality that Japanese whiskey is known for. Honestly, once you’ve had a taste of these, it’s hard to go back to anything else! The craftsmanship and attention to detail are obvious in every glass, making each sip a real experience pairing with nuts while watching movie in Sonos 7.1.4 setup, simply bombastic and FUNtastic 🎉
It takes a lot of work and talent to get such a small space so full of stuff but still looking very clean and organized. Well done. You've given me some ideas I'll be using later.
If you're struggling with keeping things secure when mounted under a desk, try using 3M Dual Lock. I use it on pedalboards and once things are locked in place they are REALLY hard to pull apart. Shouldn't have any issues holding power strips under a desk.
Great setup. One weird hing I focus on is, Brits will say "if I'm honest" and Amricans will say "if I'm beinghonest." Also, as a former ESL teacher who taught with both American and British textbooks in Japan, Brits say "got" a lot more than Americans. (e.g. I've got X instead of I have X.)
This is an interesting comment, but actually really helpful. A large majority of my audience is US based, so it’ll be good to tailor my content more towards them.
With the noise of your speakers it's the soundcard. If you mean that it's a con that they are quieter with the macbook, then get an audio interface. Maybe the macs output isn't providing enough juice without one. If you mean louder interference noise, then it may be that they aren't magnetically shielded and a gaming PC can cause interface noise, especially when stressing or utilising the GPU when gaming.
It’s related to volume, the speakers are usb so that may explain the lack of volume. Which is ironic as the Mac is touted as being able to support high impedance headphones, but cannot power speakers very well!
Upgraded my PC from Define R6 to the North last year too and that air vent mod looks quite neat. Not exactly necessary for me since I got the vertical mount with the mesh panel + fans on the side but I've been looking for an excuse to try out 3D printing =)
That is a real nice setup. I have one thing that I badly need from your setup. The USB Switch. Can you please confirm how long it takes to switch between MAC and WINDOWS using the switch? I had a similar one from different brand and that takes about 8-10 sec to switch, which is a deal breaker for me. If you can confirm if UGreen is better, then I might right away get one! Thanks in advance.
The switch I have is instant. But that’s only used for the speakers. My keyboard is wired into my PC and for my Mac I use Bluetooth. So to switch keyboard from Mac to pc I just hit function U to turn it to wired mode.
This is an awesome use of space! Can i ask what the dimensions of your room are? I have a similar sized room, i think, and ive been trying to think of ideas of how to utilize the space as best as i can
Great video man! I'm looking to do a similar setup with a PC and Mac. Just curious, I saw that you have the switch for the speakers, but is there anything specific you have setup to streamline changing the connection of your mouse, keyboard, and monitor between the two devices?
Thanks, David. Honestly, I just switched the input on my monitor manually. The keyboard has a switch on the back to go from PC to Mac and because I use two different mice, I don’t need to switch them.
Very nice setup. Definitely taking some inspiration from it. Just one question - how does the PC connect to the desk? I didn't see any connecting cables.
Thanks Simon. Long story short. There is a 5m DP cable, and a 5M usb extension cable with a usb hub plugged in for all my accessories. It's then fed down the shelving, underneath and then up the cable spine!
II came here because I was wondering what is the wallpaper you use (the diamond pattern). so nice! But your set up is nice. I have the same color theme going - walnut and black.
Great setup! Im curious how you switch between your Mac and pc with the same peripherals. Also curious how your cabling your desktop that far away from your desk.
I use Bluetooth for my keyboard on Mac and usb for pc, I only need to switch the setting under the caps lock when switching, I’m also using a 5m display port cable from the pc to the monitor and the Mac is hooked up to the monitor through the thunderbolt dock.
Thank you for the video @ChrisWilmshurst , i have a question. Do you think the 63cm of depth in the desk is enough or not? When you are using the monitor do you feel like you should be a little further away or is it perfect?
Thanks Edgar, I wouldn’t say it’s perfect, but I’m Arms distance away from the monitor at all times which is comfortable. If my room was wider I would most likely go for a slightly wider desk, but for the past few years this has been fine.
Are you using an external sound card to connect your speakers to your computer? That could be why you're experiencing volume drops when connecting them to your Mac. I've been using a Komplete Audio 6 sound card for the better part of 7 years as I've been using monitor speakers + subwoofer (Yamaha HS8's + Yamaha sub) and have experienced no issues with volume across my MacBook Pro and my gaming PC.
Could be worth trying a sound card out if the volume issues are bothering you, they tend to provide better quality sound output too rather than relying on the inbuilt DAC in your pc/MacBook. Awesome setup btw, going to take some inspiration from your setup as I'm in the middle of upgrading my own!@@ChrisWilmshurst
how is your computer connected being so far away? extra long cables for everything or do you have a type of doc or station the PC sends a single/couple cables to that then connect to everything?
Hey! They’re not simultaneously setup, I have to switch inputs on my monitor and my keyboard to switch between each machine. The usb switch under the desk switches out the speakers for machine to machine.
So I have a 5m display port and usb extension cable going from the PC to the desk. Theres a USB hub plugged into the extension cord which my keyboard/mousepad/ USB switch and headset are connected to. Then I have a single 3m thunderbolt 4 cable going from my Mac to the cal digit ts4 which also has the USB switch plugged into. So speakers will switch at the press of a button and for keyboard/mouse, the gaming mouse is always connected to the mousepad, the mx master 3s is always connected to Mac, and I flick a switch on my keyboard to go into wired mode for when using with my PC.
Hello Chris, very good video, everything looks very organized and nice, I would like to ask you how the Logiteh headphones sound when listening to music, is the cable on the outside of these ugly?hi from Medellin Colombia
Hey! Thanks for tuning in, leaving a comment and being nice. The headphones are not the best when it comes to music, it does focus on bass a bit as it’s more of a gaming headset. You can tweak this in the Logitech software and set up custom profiles, but I rarely listen to music on my pc unless it’s through a video/speakers. The cable itself is just a plain old black cable with a microphone mute switch and a volume control. Very simple and easily stored (mine is tied up under my desk when not in use.
@@ChrisWilmshurst Thank you very much for responding, and I congratulate you on your setup, it is very sober or pleasant, mine is something simple but in the future I will make one similar to yours. Regarding the headphones, which do you recommend to listen to music and play games from time to time?
How do you find the Karlby? I also have the Flexispot which came with a desk top. I found it a nicer experience having 80cm depth than the 60cm depth of the Karlby myself. (I had one previously on two ikea drawers)
So I have the same countertop from Ikea and the Grovemade deskshelf. It bothers me as they're different colors. Did you do anything to yours or did you just get over it? Other than that, love the setup!
Great video. Assuming you used the T/S 4 to give you a single cable connection to your MAC, which port on the dock did you use to connect to the KVM switch?
Correct, except my pc has a 5m display port cable to the monitor and a usb hub mounted under the desk using usb a extention cables. The switch is attached to this hub and the caldigit ts4, no actual kvm though, but I may invest in the future
That’s not actually a charger. It’s a 3d printed stand just to store either mouse when I’m not using it. It’s designed around the mx, but the 502x fits into it. I use the power play mat to charge my 502x and a usb c cable for the mx
enjoy it man ... The pc case is so cool it match the IKEA cabinet...the wood colour in the pc case slightly lighter but u can fix it with some varnish if u want 😁😁 @@ChrisWilmshurst
@@ChrisWilmshurst Ya I saw it but you skim through it fast so I don't know how you plugged all of that peripheral. I will just search around for that particular extension later.
I do yes. Theees a 5m cable that run down and answer the shelf and up the leg of the desk. Then for my Mac there is a usb c to hdmi cable coming from my thunderbolt dock!
Hi, what is the length and depth of this counter top? I clicked the link you gave it show like 186cm and 65cm. Is it really? on the video it seems smaller. Just wondering because i want to find something similar too. By the way nice setup!
0:27, one thing in the start, I noticed that you kept the desktop far off from the monitor on the wooden rack. How did you manage to do that?? I also wish to do the same.
I forgot to add that one! Here’s a link to the uk listing, if you’re not in the UK it is the fado lamp www.ikea.com/gb/en/p/fado-table-lamp-grey-90356307/#content
Does you MX Master 3 not bug out when used on top of the Power Play pad? I have both and I, as well as many others, experience jumping cursor when using the MX on top of it. Or do you plug out the pad first when running with the MX?
@@ChrisWilmshurst Good to know. Thanks! Also, I saw you mentioned a USB-switch. I gather that you are not relying on any KVM as such, but rather dual mouse, the USB-switch and then I guess you change input source on your monitor when you want to switch between the two systems?
No need for one, if power goes out it’s not the end of the world. I’m not a streamer so I don’t need a 100% backup power as I usually work on my Mac which is on battery half the time
@lysias55 haha, I can understand that. Luckily my pc is only on when I’m gaming! I’ve not had a single power cut in two years, so I’m hoping it stays that way
Calm down flower. Just because ‘back in your day’ people didn’t have an interest in it, doesn’t mean people don’t today. The mechanical keyboard market is more popular than your basic membrane keyboard and a lot of people want to know about the sound and typing experience, so I’m going to include them, rather than exclude them because of some grumpy person who can’t be bothered to hit the right arrow key on their keyboard a few times to skip the sound test.
Literally fwd'd to the keyboard chapter to learn the model and make. Find a lower gear pal, I dont want you spekaing for me. Keyboards matter "to us" hahahaha its the most interactive peripheral ! Haha silly goose.
@@hassanshahid9776OHH!!! haha. I can see what you mean. Luckily the letters are shown on the front face of the keys, so when you look down at it from a sitting/standing position you can see the letters you are typing on.
Admittedly, it’s expensive stuff. But it’s all handmade in the USA and definitely not for everyone. I wouldn’t recommend the tray, but the riser is very good quality. Much better than a cheaper/alt brand version I currently use for my tv
Well I must be the luckiest guy in the world as I did. I also bought three other aeron classics for £50 each and flipped them for £300 each. Look on marketplace for ‘office chair’ you’d be amazed at how many people are selling them and do not even know. Most of them are supplied by old jobs. This one was purchased from a retired guy
@@ChrisWilmshurst It's just marketing BS. 7.1 means 7 bed layer speakers and 1 subwoofer. It's just not possible in headphones, nor would it make a difference if it was. They go over both ears in stereo. It's 2.0.
So, this guy keeps talking about his "work" station and about how he wants to make this area productive and efficient. So, what exactly does this dude do for work? Why exactly does he need such an efficient "work" station? Is he some type of engineer or computer programmer? I'm confused. People like this on UA-cam who are so obsessed with their "work" stations and "studios" really bug me. They have all this wonderful tech and their "work" stations are setup super nice. I just don't understand what for. They constantly talk about being productive, but never actually are. Can anyone enlighten me?

Oh, brother, you're the real hero

Is that desk only 63cm deep? It looks way deeper. I feel like i dont have enough room for anything if i put a shelf on a 63 cm deep desk
Correct. It is only 63cm deep!
What keycap set are you using on your keyboard?
The default ones which came with the keyboard
0:27, one thing in the start, I noticed that you kept the desktop far off from the monitor on the wooden rack. How did you manage to do that?? I also wish to do the same.
All explained in the video my friend! :)
@@ChrisWilmshurst nope., not mentioned . i saw the video twice for that particular thing. But of no avail. Desktop ketp far off from monitor!! How ?
I say in the video that I’m using 5m cables
Very nice office, good job.
Thank you!
How does this monitor compare to the 27gr95qe? I play only on console but would like a better setup
I personally wouldn’t recommend this monitor. It flickers like crazy!
❤ great style
And you’ve got great taste by watching the video!!
does the monitor wobble when in standing position ? Some of these stand desks are dreadful
Only if you shake the desk, but when typing like normal and moving your mouse it’s pretty solid.
awesome, thanks for the reply and the video@@ChrisWilmshurst
Do you have a link for the Ikea fish bowl light?
I forgot to add that one! Here’s a link to the uk listing, if you’re not in the UK it is the fado lamp www.ikea.com/gb/en/p/fado-table-lamp-grey-90356307/#content
Do you have a link for the headset?
Hey, I do yes, sorry for the late reply!
geni.us/nEdFTh I have generation one (wired), but they do offer a wireless version (gen 2)
@@ChrisWilmshurst thanks!
Does you MX Master 3 not bug out when used on top of the Power Play pad? I have both and I, as well as many others, experience jumping cursor when using the MX on top of it. Or do you plug out the pad first when running with the MX?
I’ve only ever experienced a few jumping issues when my pc is turned on, but if it’s is off it’s smooth.
@@ChrisWilmshurst Good to know. Thanks! Also, I saw you mentioned a USB-switch. I gather that you are not relying on any KVM as such, but rather dual mouse, the USB-switch and then I guess you change input source on your monitor when you want to switch between the two systems?
How you connect the PC to your monitor ? its to far )
A 5 meter display port cable!
how do you switch between pc and mac ?? please help
I change the input on my monitor and flick the switch on my keyboard.
Doesn't the TS 4 dock lock you in 60hz even though your monitor is 144hz?
It does for my Mac yes, but for my pc I have a 5m display port cable running to the desk
What microphone did you use to record this video?
I’m using a seinheisser xlr microphone
You checked your A1 yet?
?
That keyboard sounds like Mr.Krabs walking
Best comment about a keyboard ever.
£20 for a HM chair!? Mine was $800AUD second hand haha.
I got really lucky on Facebook marketplace. 😅
Why no UPS? Better insurance than the power strip
No need for one, if power goes out it’s not the end of the world. I’m not a streamer so I don’t need a 100% backup power as I usually work on my Mac which is on battery half the time
@@ChrisWilmshurst I just like being able to shut down properly. Suddenly losing power isn’t something I want to put my 4090 through
@lysias55 haha, I can understand that. Luckily my pc is only on when I’m gaming! I’ve not had a single power cut in two years, so I’m hoping it stays that way
how does your apple watch do that? my watch congratulates me for standing for 6 hours when ive been sitting for 8 lol its so inaccurate
Are you wearing it on the opposite wrist that you set it up on? That’s how it messes up
@@ChrisWilmshurst nah it’s setup for a lefty properly
@EdwinFairchild haha, I haven’t a clue then. Maybe my resting hear rate is lower than yours 😅
@@ChrisWilmshurst lmao damn now thats worry some for me haha
5:50 Oh please... That S**T doesn't matter to us when we use our keyboard way back then...
Calm down flower. Just because ‘back in your day’ people didn’t have an interest in it, doesn’t mean people don’t today. The mechanical keyboard market is more popular than your basic membrane keyboard and a lot of people want to know about the sound and typing experience, so I’m going to include them, rather than exclude them because of some grumpy person who can’t be bothered to hit the right arrow key on their keyboard a few times to skip the sound test.
Literally fwd'd to the keyboard chapter to learn the model and make.
Find a lower gear pal, I dont want you spekaing for me. Keyboards matter "to us" hahahaha its the most interactive peripheral ! Haha silly goose.
@2:09 is that Tana?
I’m confused?
au bhai bhalla?
Huh?
How do you type on that keyboard? 😂
haha, what do you mean? its so nice to type on!
@@ChrisWilmshurst the blank top buttons 😅. It feels smooth tho.
@@hassanshahid9776OHH!!! haha. I can see what you mean. Luckily the letters are shown on the front face of the keys, so when you look down at it from a sitting/standing position you can see the letters you are typing on.
@@ChrisWilmshurst Yeah it's cool! Great setup Chris! 😄
Check Ganrti for A a black lamp
Those are some expensive lights 😳
@@ChrisWilmshurst lol they are but they fit your aesthetic so I wanted to recommend them. You could easily find some like them
Yeah I don’t understand the grove made stuff. $100+ for a tray and 300 for a riser shelf
Admittedly, it’s expensive stuff. But it’s all handmade in the USA and definitely not for everyone. I wouldn’t recommend the tray, but the riser is very good quality. Much better than a cheaper/alt brand version I currently use for my tv
I will never understand the appeal on the clicking noise on the keyboard. for me the best keyboard is the silent one.
The appeal is not the sound, is the feel. You can customize the sound and the feel of the keyboard, you can even make a silent mechanical keyboard.
@@jeremygomez546 Any you recommend?. That does not break the bank
There is no way someone will be as lucky to get Herman Miller for 20 pounds.
Well I must be the luckiest guy in the world as I did. I also bought three other aeron classics for £50 each and flipped them for £300 each.
Look on marketplace for ‘office chair’ you’d be amazed at how many people are selling them and do not even know. Most of them are supplied by old jobs. This one was purchased from a retired guy
Was this an ia generated scripted?
Don’t be silly

£60,000? Arson here I come 😂
5:55 i hate this sounds. mechanical keyboards are worst.
That’s completely fair, they’re not for everyone.
Lmao 7.1 surround sound.
Haha yeah it’s not amazing, but it does seem to work somehow.
@@ChrisWilmshurst It's just marketing BS. 7.1 means 7 bed layer speakers and 1 subwoofer. It's just not possible in headphones, nor would it make a difference if it was. They go over both ears in stereo. It's 2.0.
So, this guy keeps talking about his "work" station and about how he wants to make this area productive and efficient. So, what exactly does this dude do for work? Why exactly does he need such an efficient "work" station? Is he some type of engineer or computer programmer? I'm confused. People like this on UA-cam who are so obsessed with their "work" stations and "studios" really bug me. They have all this wonderful tech and their "work" stations are setup super nice. I just don't understand what for. They constantly talk about being productive, but never actually are. Can anyone enlighten me?
I’m a professional photographer / videographer. Which I state in the video, pay attention next time.
Also, if it bugs you, don’t watch them and go on Pinterest next time.
I fucking hate the sound of keyboards. why does everyone think their clickitty clackitty keyboards sound good? mute that shit
It’s personal preference. Don’t worry about what other people’s like. Let people enjoy things. You can enjoy your silent one
