Banana for scale but, also, the desk is 6’ long and the little monitor is 43" (and will be re-purposed elsewhere).

    On the contrary, this is my setup for more than a decade. I’ve tried several mechanicals and haven’t really been pleased with them. I thought the Logitech Master MX would be nice compromise but it wasn’t durable enough, and the lack of tactile feedback made it feel mushy. Oddly, the moderate pitch and short throw (but with the slight actuation resistance) of the Microsoft Designer keyboard is my Goldilocks keyboard. It may not be obvious, but the keyboard “tray” is 3 feet wide - quite a bit bigger than standard. I made it from 1/4" aluminum plate and put it on full extension slides because I couldn’t find a commercial one I liked. It sits right at a neutral wrist position for me (I’m a palm rester) and the mat is a nice 3.5mm neoprene. There’s even a tray heater so my mousing hand doesn’t get cold on long CAD sessions.

      You cad guys always have ridiculous keyboard thoughts. I hate your entire setup to be honest, it looks like neck pain from looking around a too big monitor you are sitting too close to.

      No personal hate, do what makes you happy. And I shouldn’t be judging too much, I have my own ridiculous tastes when it comes to computer setups.
