This is a very good list. I've also looked in particular for four-legged tables for their preferable aesthetics and have seen most of the tables you linked to. HM New Canaan or the eFloat Quattro comes the closest for me as I like having a wider working area. R&B Parsons looks a little clunky. I must admit that there is still some way to go compared to the sleek designs of the USM Haller in the article or the Palladio desk.

Yes, I'm still on the hunt :)

Please reach out if you find anything interesting.


Same. For my business, the enterprises that want to use my software wouldn't actually be worth the hassle as their usage is not more than my normal business customers (SMB). Just more work and costs on my end.

Early on, I had a potential enterprise account (well known online store) that wanted everything that enterprises wanted in addition to multiple meetings (with all the stakeholders) for a $50/month account (my mistake for not getting that information upfront).

Another time, a large Canadian media company wanted me to agree to an uncapped liability provision. Respectfully turned them down.

All in all, I lost some prestige business but if I took them on, it wouldn't move my profit levels much.


Your getting that interest because it looks like a steal. Ultimately those businesses couldn't care less about $50/m (except to chance it) but they want - or even need - the enterprise terms.

They will pay $50 for your product... And probably $950 for the terms.

(Not saying that would have been the right thing for you but my advice to folks who find themselves in this position is always 20x or 40x the price - if that is enough to make it worth your bother, then go for it. Good chance theyll pay)


My plans start at $50. Top out at $10k a month.


Obviously I know nothing about your product, so completely uninformed!

But as an enterprise buyer $50/m and $10K/m is the same bucket in terms of cost. No one will blink until around 100K, depending on what it is.

(The point I am making is; as an enterprise buyer I absolutely know how annoying it is for me to turn up and go "this random regulation, we're interpreting it in this highly specific and unique way, and we want it asap". Hence willingness to pay down that inconvenience)


I have the same and love it. Another bonus of the Cafelat is no microplastics in my hot coffee. :)


This is the form factor I want in an iPad (full computer):

Just let me use my own keyboard/mouse when I want to use it like a computer. Better ergonomics too as the iPad would be at a good height.


>Just let me use my own keyboard/mouse

Isn't that already possible if you plugin a keyboard/mouse via a USB-C dongle/hub?


Yes, but I want it to act like a regular iPad when I’m not plugged in.

What if we start a company with "Always Be Evilin'?" Then gradually over time convert to "Don't be evil" *

If your company makes a product that does thinking for people, it’ll be easier to just gradually change its definition of evil.


I posted about the new Kuycon 28” 3:2 aspect 4.5k monitor I discovered recently today:

The standout here is the 3:2 aspect ratio. Hard to find these days. Most options are 16:9 or ultrawide.

Anyone have experience with Kuycon?


I'm enjoying my ZSA Voyager and Navigator (trackball) combo.

Out of picture, I also have a Magic Trackpad (right) and Logitech MX Anywhere 3 (left). I like to switch up my hand movements.

Hello, fellow ZSA Voyager plus dual-weild aficionado! It’s great, isn’t it? I saw [this](https://evantravers.com/articles/2023/04/06/magsafe-tenting-...) here recently and promptly bought some mini-tripods and MagSafe adapters. Access to arbitrary tenting angles has been a big plus. I also have a 3D printed deck for it that sits over my MacBook keyboard and is quite nice. Don’t want to lose access to my Miryoku layout when on the move! Especially home row chording.

I also went down the switches rabbit hole and ended up with lighter weight switches under my pinkies, which I find quite pleasant.

I also dual-wield a Magic Trackpad (outside left) and Logitech Lift (which I have found to be vastly better for my wrist than a normal mouse, since it requires much less unnatural rotation).

I’m also looking forward to the ZSA trackpad attachment for the Voyager. Interested to see whether it’s an improvement on the excellent Magic Trackpad. As an avid Magic Trackpad user, what do you think of the trackball?

All in all, though, this kind of setup feels like something of final destination, don’t you think? No more desire to tinker and can see myself using it this way for decades - just replacing switches if / when they fail. I even have some spare keycaps which I bought from Tai-Hao (who manufacture the original keycaps, I believe). I bought the blanks from ZSA then sort of regretted it. They look so darn cool but made the transition to Miryoku harder than it needed to be.

Goodness gracious look how much I’ve written about my keyboard. My wife would find this very amusing.


I love the the Voyager when I want to really focus or if I'm going to code for a long time (limits my arm movements and I'm more intentional). When I'm doom scrolling or being creative, I end up using the mouse (I'm looking at the Lift too) or the trackpad more.

Yes, it's my end game but I was pretty tempted by the go60 because of the wireless nature. https://www.moergo.com/pages/go60


Do you find you use the trackball for precise movements? I wonder if a more polished product is any different than the Charybdis.


I used the trackball for about 2 weeks straight when I got it. I felt I could do about 95% of movements I wanted pretty easily. Became like second nature. But I prefer the Magic Trackpad for its gestures. So basically I have 3 pointing devices on my desk now (LOL).


I switched from Sublime Text (still keep for navigating huge files).

But I love the thought put into Zed and it looks great (this is important to me).

I don't use their AI features but it does come in handy when I need an quick alternate answer or perspective. I use Claude Code in a separate terminal.
