This space is where I spend most of my time these days. I chose to add wood-like patterns as contrast to having too much digital items on my desk. I also make sure I only put all my necessary stuff to keep it neat and minimal.

What you're seeing
Macbook Pro 13" / 15"
Macbook Pro 13" / 15"
One is for work while the other one is for personal use. Macs are non-negotiable for someone like me whose into iOS development. And... as they say once you go Mac you can't go back.
Dell 24" Monitor
Dell 24" Monitor
This is from our office which I was able to brought home. So far I'm happy with Dell's color configuration.
Display Switch
Display Switch
This is perhaps one of my best buy last year. This device allows me to switch my monitor's input source between two laptops. I wanted this to avoid replugging cables all the time. Downside though I now have more cables.
Apple Magic Mouse
Apple Magic Mouse
I like using trackpad gestures on my Macbook so when I needed to look for an alternative I wasn't able to find other models that allows me to have the same experience as I did when using my laptop. To be honest I was specifically hoping for something that supports multi-device pairing plus gestures but unfortunately I found none.
Logitech Keyboard K480
Logitech Keyboard K480
This one is also a good buy. Supports switching to 3 devices, feel of the keys are good, wireless, battery drains reasonably, and it holds tablets too!
Orion Monitor Stand
Orion Monitor Stand
The best one I found aesthetically with reasonable cost. It also matches my desk.
Cable Magnet Organizer
Cable Magnet Organizer
Helps organized few of my cables. Its magnetic feature is what really makes it worth it.
Laptop Stand
Laptop Stand
Elevates my laptop making it more ergonomic.
Airpods
Airpods
I use this when I like to shut off surrounding sounds. Since it's wireless it nice that I'm able to freely move around when I have to. It's pairing and sound quality is pretty good too. However due to some battery degrading issues I also use a non-wireless earphones.
Altec Lansing Speakers
Altec Lansing Speakers
This one we had at home for maybe a decade or more. Though it's bulky – I actually had to place it under my desk – there's nothing I can complain about. Overall sound quality is great and I enjoy having the subwoofer. This is probably why I don't use AirPods as often as before.
Table
Table
Took me a while to find a non-custom made desk of this size – 140x70x73cm. I'm satisfied with it on both aesthetics and price.
Desk Mat
Desk Mat
Bought this to avoid tainting the table just in case. Serves as my mouse pad as well.
Lenovo Tablet
Lenovo Tablet
It's a work tablet that was supposed to be used on a specific project I'm working on but since that didn't pushed through and instead of leaving it unused and degrading I now occasionally use it to stream videos.
Smartphones
Smartphones
iPhone 6s and Redmi a.k.a test devices. I have a few more stashed somewhere in my room but these two are my staples.
BeautyMnl Card
BeautyMnl Card
This one I got from a BeautyMnl package. I unintentionally lost the others except this. Maybe its the universe reminding me to take care of myself so I decided to keep it.
Notebooks
Notebooks
I tend to initially write down my notes. I guess I wanted to take breaks from typing all day.
Pen Holder
Pen Holder
Bought it since it's matching my desk. I use this for other things than pen. In terms of quality I have nothing to complain about.
