Save Desk Space
Accessories that keep your desk tidy without taking up extra space
Clips onto your monitor, saves desk space, and cuts glare compared to a regular desk lamp — a simple upgrade if you're staring at a screen all day.
Quntis Auto-Dimming USB Monitor Light Bar
small thing but it actually helped. my charger + monitor cables used to just pile up behind the desk, looked messy every video call. grabbed this on a whim and it's held up fine — stick it on the desk edge, tuck the cable through. adhesive's still ho...
Adhesive Cable Clips - Desk & Cabinet Organizer
desk only had one outlet so this solved the whole "fighting over the plug" thing. enough ports for monitor, laptop charger, and phone at once. surge protector light is a nice touch, at least feels safer than a regular extension cord. cord length is d...
Anker Power Strip - Surge Protector with USB Ports
switched to using an external monitor as main screen, laptop just sits closed on the side now. this holds it upright instead of lying flat, frees up a good chunk of desk space. adjustable width so it fits different laptop sizes. base feels stable, ha...
UGREEN Vertical Laptop Stand - Adjustable Holder
Comfort & Ergonomics
Items that help support good posture during long hours at the laptop.
my neck was killing me after a few months of WFH, laptop screen too low. this Nulaxy stand fixed it almost immediately — it's aluminum so feels sturdy, not the flimsy plastic kind, and folds flat when you're not using it which is nice if you move aro...
Nulaxy Adjustable Aluminum Laptop Stand
looks nice, protects the desk, mouse doesn't slide on it. spilled water once and it wiped off fine. came rolled up so took a day to flatten out.
Leather Desk Mat - Waterproof Non-Slip Protector
eyes felt strained by end of day from back to back screen time. not sure how much is placebo but headaches happen less often since wearing these. lightweight enough that I forget I'm wearing them. lens doesn't have a heavy yellow tint like some other...
ANRRI Blue Light Blocking Glasses - Lightweight
feet used to just dangle since my chair's a bit too tall for the desk. this fixed that, legs feel less tired by end of day. height adjusts so I can find the right angle. surface has some texture, doesn't feel slippery in socks.
Ergonomic Under-Desk Footrest - Adjustable
wrist used to ache from resting on the hard desk edge while using the mouse all day. the gel padding actually softens that a lot. surface is smooth enough that the mouse still tracks fine. doesn't slide around during use.
TECKNET Ergonomic Mouse Pad with Gel Wrist Rest
Level Up Your Video Calls
Gadgets that make you look and connect your best on video calls
phone stays at an angle while charging, easy to glance at during calls. magnetic snap is solid, doesn't shift around. charging speed is decent, not the fastest. cable included is a bit short, ended up using my own.
Dual Foldable Wireless Charging Station for Apple
video calls looked kinda dim before this. clips onto the monitor so no extra desk space needed. has a few brightness levels, makes a real difference on camera. clip is a bit tight on thicker monitors.
Cyezcor LED Ring Light - Clip-On for Video Calls
laptop only has 2 usb-c ports so this was necessary, not optional. monitor, keyboard, mouse, and charging all plugged in at once now. gets slightly warm after hours of use, never been an actual issue. wish it had one more usb-a port.
Anker USB-C Hub - Multiport Adapter for Laptops
needed something to block out household noise during calls, these do the job. sound quality is decent for the price, not audiophile-level but fine for calls and music. battery lasts most of the workday without a recharge. waterproof rating is a nice ...
TOZO Noise Cancelling Bluetooth Earbuds
Focus and Productivity
laptop storage was always running low, this became the backup drive I don't think about anymore. transfer speed is fast, moving large files doesn't feel like a wait. small enough to just leave plugged in or toss in a bag. gets a little warm during lo...
Samsung Portable SSD 1TB - T7 Titan Gray
sitting all day was starting to mess with my back, this let me switch positions without buying a whole new desk. motorized so it's one button instead of manually cranking it up. holds monitor + laptop fine without wobbling. takes up a bit of desk dep...
