Just to add the batteries last absolutely ages on it! Had mine since 3 Sep 2018 and the Logitech software says the batteries are still full

Do you still have the Logitech Solar keyboard? and did you ever replace the battery on it.

I used it at work and after several months the battery started playing up. It lasted about 3 years I believe. Battery is easily replaced on the K750 however and cheap.

Yeah, when mine started playing up, it died within hours with the lights out. It was only £1.xx for a replacement.

Nothing wildly special, but plain and simple does me

(I wedge another monitor on the LHS for working at the moment too)

The black border on large monitors drives me insane.

Mine has the same black borders down left and right as well.

Minimum is best.

Has not really changed much I guess. Phate copied my keyboard though...

The desk got more cluttered over time instead.

I ended up replacing the K780. Great board but the numpad just makes it too long for me. I like them 60%!

Pretty sure you stated this before but it was so long ago!

Where did you get the movie posters and frames?

mrk · 10 May 2020 at 13:42

They are my own frames yep, you can get them from Wilko/Range etc for cheap :cool:

Looking at the Alex drawers and storage unit (to put the tower in) with a nice table top from IKEA.

Is there anything better?

I have seen some setups with kitchen tables, reclaimed wood and they all look great. Depends on the theme/style of room and budget.

An old picture of mine (Alex drawers and Beech top) albeit, its still work in progress. On my to-do, add some subtle Hue lighting, pictures and accessories as its a bit soulless at the moment. Will eventually lose the triple setup for a single screen.

At the moment perfectly happy with the Alex setup, only longer term, I would opt for an industrial reclaimed wood desk (image is an example):

I'm bending the rules slightly as it's not right now, but it hasn't changed much since my last post other than lots of cable management. Made use of an old unused Hue strip as well and stuck it on the underside of the desk

^^ That is one cosy room! sweet job.

Love it Steedie - do you have 2 hue strips there or can it do multiple colours? That room is a similar kind of vibe to how i am going to my upcoming man cave

- planning lots of hue in mine heh. Similar kind of colour as well, mine will be like a dark turqoise colour.

PiKe · 13 May 2020 at 11:14

@Steedie Which table top is that?

It's 2 Hue strips, one on the back of the desk and one underneath. Best bit is the Streamdeck can control a Hue bridge so I've got a couple of scenes set up which I can switch between when going from work mode to game mode

@PiKe, it's the IKEA Karlby

Love the Disco room bro, do you play 90s classics or slow jams?
