I used to work on laptops without any extras, but over the years ergonomics got more and more important. Now I have a second screen, a standing desk and an ergonomic chair. My main keyboard is split in half and my pointer device is a big red ball.

## Work Computer: Thinkpad T14s
|
|
|
|
> Decent CPU, good amount of RAM, very lightweight, great battery life
|
|
|
|
Thinkpads are my go-to laptops for work. They are robust and performant.

|
## Private Computer: ASUS Zenbook Pro Duo
|
|
|
|
> Fantastic screen, a second display, decent hardware
|
|
|
|
My private laptop is a bit more experimental. It features a dual screen setup with a 16:10 OLED screen and an additional 16:5(-ish) LCD above the keyboard.

## Keyboard: Sofle 2 split-keyboard
|
|
|
|
I use the [Sofle 2](https://josefadamcik.github.io/SofleKeyboard/) keyboard. I adapted it to my needs. It features two rotary encoders and a customized [qmk firmware](https://qmk.fm) configuration. The source code can be found [on github](https://github.com/nkoehring/qmk_firmware/tree/master).

## <span title="a.k.a. mouse">Pointer</span>: Kensington Orbit
|
|
|
|
The [Kensington Orbit](https://www.kensington.com/p/products/electronic-control-solutions/trackball-products/orbit-wireless-trackball-with-scroll-ring/) is a trackball and a treat for every wrist.

## Desk: ergonomic
|
|
|
|
My desk is height adjustable, so that I can sit or stand at it. Its not a fancy branded one; it does it job well, though.
|
|
|
|
## Chair: ergonomic
|
|
|
|
My chair is an ergonomic office chair with 4D arm rests and extra back support. I can sit on it all day without issues.
