Oooohhh this is an interesting alternative...

I needed to use the pole from the keyboard stand since the one from the monitor stand wasn't high enough.

How many monitors do you have on it? I need it to support 2 monitors.

I'll look around for something - thanks for the general idea...

@aygart you specifically prefer the mx2s over mxm3?

The entire desk; don't want the "converter".

I use https://relaxtheback.com/products/adaptdesk-by-relax-the-back?variant=14774767321147 72" model. Holds a few screens

Works perfect. But I got a good deal on it, doubt I'd spend retail.

Oof that's pricey. Was hoping to keep it under $1000.

I do not use a "converter" I use the monitor stand in the link below together with the keyboard stand to lifk up only the monitor and keyboard/mouse while standing and still keeping the desk clear and usable. I mixed and matched parts between the 2.

Is the keyboard stand big enough for keyboard plus mouse?

Seems like this has been the lowest it's gone historically.

My office setup is:

-Herman Miller‎ Embody Chair. (A true lifesaver! Don't buy these online, go to a local distributor to save a fortune)
-Amish built-in desk
-Dell XPS i9 9900K with 64GB RAM (Lots of tabs!)
-3 HP 27" FHD monitors. (Maybe upgrade these to higher res with Dell credits, any recommendations?)
-Logitech MX Keys Advanced Wireless Illuminated Keyboard (Great keyboard!)
-Logitech MX Palm Rest (Fantastic for your wrists)
-Logitech MX3 (Best mouse by leaps and bounds)
-Fellowes PlushTouch Mouse Pad and Wrist Rest (Fantastic for your wrists)
-Bose QC35 (Essential for quarantine).
-Tripp Lite Surge Protector
-Samsung Note10+, wireless fast charger, and 45W ultra-fast charger.
-Hydroflask 40 ounce with straw cap to stay hydrated.

What's yours?

@Dan you have to tell us what deals you got for each of that😂🤣

I bought the MX Keys a while ago on DDF recommendations. The keyboard is great but I have two questions.

Is there a way to change the setting so that the backlight doesn't turn on by default?

When I hold down the volume key to adjust by a significant amount, the directional change gets locked so that even after letting go the volume goes to the minimum or maximum. Tapping the key for the opposite direction doesn't work. When this happens, I have to turn off and back on. The key is not getting physically stuck–if seems to be a software issue. Anyone have a solution? Anyone have this problem?

I am at my desk most of my day staring at computer screens. I have 23 inch and 20 monitors, a few years old, and budget monitors, probably got them on some sale. Has anyone in my shoes upgraded to, say, higher-end 25-27 inch monitors? Is the difference meaningful enough? Thanks.

Yup I did!
I sit by a computer screen from 9am to 6pm every day, and I recently bought 2 samsung 32" 4K curved monitors, they are absolutely worth every penny!!
I got them at Costco for $309 each and they are now for $359

Lol. 32 are too big for my setup. Need something smaller. And what is the benefit of curved?
