Keyboards
Keychron K7
My daily driver for work. I love the low-profile design, portability, and comfortable typing experience during long development sessions.
Royal Kludge R75
My favorite compact mechanical keyboard when I want a traditional typing experience. The 75% layout, gasket mount, and hot-swappable switches make it enjoyable for both work and personal use.
Mouse
Logitech MX Master 3S
The best productivity mouse I've used. Excellent ergonomics, silent clicks, customizable buttons, and seamless multi-device support.
Audio
Edifier R1280DBs
My desktop speakers for online meetings and technical talks. Clear at low volume, with Bluetooth and optical inputs for easy switching between devices.
Edifier T5 Subwoofer
Adds the low end the speakers cannot reach, so everything sounds full without turning the volume up.
