Hardware
Main
- Computer: MacBook Pro (14-inch, 2023), 2023, M2 Pro, 32GB RAM, and 1TB SSD. This is the computer I use most of the time.
- Mouse: Magic Mouse. I’m too used to using the gestures on the magic mouse to switch to a “regular” one now. I do think sometimes about getting a magic trackpad for the gestures and using a regular mouse like the Logitech Lift Vertical I use at work.
- Keyboard: Keychron Q1 Max purple with Gateron Jupiter Red Switches and ANSI Layout. Using the knob is as pleasing as you’d expect.
- Displays: Two DELL 27 4K UHD S2721QS with a 60hz refresh rate. I’ve never been able to see the difference between 60hz and higher refresh rates anyways. I use my mac on clamshell mode. Two screens are enough for me.
- Speakers:: I alternate between the three below, but mostly use the Logitech ones.
- Logitech Z207: They are ok. The bluetooth connection is a bit laggy when I start playing something new, but after it starts playing it’s fine. I don’t know if it’s a software issue or not but this happened on both of my computers, so I generally use it wired with my Mac.
- Sony WH-1000XM5: I like the sound and noise cancelling but the smaller band than the M4s gives me a headache sometimes, also it doesn’t fold.
- AirPods Pro 2: My everyday earphones.
- Microphone: Razer Seiren V3 Mini. I don’t understand anything about audio, but they work fine. I like that it comes with a desk stand base. I don’t have space on my table to mount an arm for the mic.
- Dock Station: CalDigit TS3 Plus. I love not having to plug a million cable everytime I want to plug/unplug my Mac. It’s the DisplayPort is a bit finicky, I wish I had the model with two Thunderbolt ports.
Gaming PC
- Gaming Computer: AMD Ryzen 7 5700X3D 8-Core Processor, 32GB DDR4 RAM, NVidia GeForce RTX 4070 SUPER (12GB), 1TB SSD. It was the first PC I ever built.
- Mouse: Logitech M650 L. I like it because the buttons are so smooth and quiet.
- Rest: The other peripherals are the same I use with my mac minus the dock.
Software
Main
- OS: macOS 26.5.2 (25F84). I try to keep on the latest unless I see it’s unstable.
- Terminal: iTerm 2.
- Shell: Zsh with Oh My Zsh and Powerlevel10k.
- Editor: VS Code.
- Browser: Firefox
Gaming PC
- OS: Windows 10 Pro (22H2). I refuse to upgrade to 11 or higher with the keylogger that is Recall and AI slop all over it. I only use Windows at all because of game compatibility.
- Browser: Firefox
Miscellaneous
- Reading: Kobo Libra Colour for regular books, sometimes physical books. For reading things in Japanese like manga and light novels an iPad Mini 6 gen and physical books.
- Personal Organisation: Apple’s Calendar app, Mail App. For todo lists I use TickTick.
- Some Interesting Apps:
- Macrofactor: For calories and macro tracks.
- Fitbod: For gym planning, since I don’t know anything about exercises.
- WorkOutDoors: To track my runs.
