    For your door reflection, they have these stickers that basically turn it into a frosted look so you can't really see details through and no reflections! I've also seen people roll Elmers glue on the door to get the same effect, not sure if I'd go that route though

    Alayna x mechanical keyboards is the crossover I didn't know I needed. I haven't tried any of the low-profile mechs, I don't like the really high-profile keycaps but the standard-height switches with Cherry caps are totally fine. The Zoom65 is the most luxurious keyboard I've ever typed on. Luxurious. If you want something new to try.

    I think for the glass window thing, It could be cool to have a simple cotton like curtain! Like those nice simple white textured ones. It could be perfect because if you don't want it, you just well toss the curtain, and You can slide it on when you're filming a video and don't want reflection!
    But also, I do really Like the window and I don't mind it at all, I think it also just adds to the aesthetic :)

    They have window cling stickers that are intended to add privacy to bathroom windows. It sort of frosts the glass for you. There's a spray can version of it, also! The spray is easy to remove with a razor blade, you just need to apply painter's tape around the door's solid edges when you go to apply. That might be something to consider!

    I did something similar last year as working from home became a thing. Standing desk ✅, looked into mechanical keyboards and bought one ✅ (Logitech g915 tkl), and recently, also bought a vertical mouse, which I recommend as my wrist was getting sore, and it's now good. It's a Logitech Lift, if you get a chance to try, do it.
    Also, mechanical keyboards are a big rabbit hole so... Be careful

    Nuphy discount code, used! I have been obsessed with the idea of a mechanical keyboard (which I'd never heard of before!) since you published this video. LOL. I went for the Air 96, Wisteria. I would have gone for blue, if it was in stock in white, but the two were honestly tied for me because I barely know what the different colors mean. :P I tried to understand (via your description, Nuphy's website, a NYT article, and some light Googling.). Excited!

  • @sweettooth6278
    @sweettooth6278 Рік тому

    I dont comment often but since I saw the mechanical keyboards I thought I might give a few tips (sorry if this gets a bit too long to read), if you want to look for more keyboards that have those clicky sounds or have a smaller/similar actuation point to the ones you have, those are called clicky(blue) and tactile(brown) switches but those come with so many different variations, and if you want to try something that doesnt have any actuation point and that is a lot more quiet sounding but also have the ability to type faster you could try lenier switches (red switches- my favourite ones).
    If you want to explore more keycaps since it looks like a low profile your intrested in, maybe look for DSA,XDA, KAM or even possibly Cherry profile or something in the ranges of that(remember to choose ANSI layout - American and not ISO since thats the UK layout).
    If intrested about the size but from what it looks like 65% seems to be the one you have, but if you are interested in more sizes like that you might want to try 60% , 75% and TKL (and those also have different variations of that).
    If your intrested in the texure of the keycaps or how it turns out, but there a few things you might wanna check out if your interested. PBT, ABS, Dye-sub and Double shot (A quick Google search and you can find out quite a l lot about those).
    Anyways there's so much more to know about this subject, I'm sorry if this was too long but its really cool seeing a content creator who I watch getting into something like this but goodluck on ya journey in the rabbit hole of mechanical keyboards.

  • @lauralaura396
    @lauralaura396 Рік тому

    I'm not a big fan of the reflection in the window either.
    I think a curtain is a great option. Some advantages:
    1) An fun idea is to use a fabric that doesn't damage easily when you put pins throught. Then you can put button pins on it or any other decoration that you can attach with a pin. E.g. some cute pictures (though not huge sized pictures as it still needs to be practical to open and close the curtains.) This way you can switch/add/remove decorations whenever you feel like.
    2) You're not constantly blocking the view/light. The advantage of a curtain is that you can open it. You are not contantly filming. Putting things on the window might obstruct the light to your office or the light from the office to the space behind. On cloudy days or around winter you might want to gather all the natural light you can get. Also for the view, if you're in one space and you want to keep an eye on something happening in the other space, with open curtains you can do that.
    3) Privacy. If there's something in the space behind you that you don't want to be seen on camera, you don't run the risk of accidentaly forgetting to take it out of view and filming it (and uploading it or having to refilm everything). Also vice versa, if someone is in the house and you don't want them to see your desk, you can close the curtain. In your previous space, you had a wall and a door, but here everyone can immediately see it.

  • @fraggedlocust

    16:31 The clear aesthetic definitely goes with the office/house, but I think a semi-transparent privacy sticker might work. However that would kind of close in the space and I'm not sure if that's your vibe. IDK, I'm no interior decorator. I'm struggling with getting something that resembles an office that's not also a dinner table and a gaming setup.

I do not have a desk right now, mainly for space, so I just work on my laptop; but I got a really good chair, and I swear by it. Literally, now I never want to sit anywhere else. It all feels so uncomfortable in comparison!
    The house I am currently renting has a small window above the master bedroom door. Why do I need an indoor window?? No idea. But I hate it. So I got a tapestry (jellyfish that look like constellations!) to cover it. Would do the job and make for a pretty background!
