It's Critter Time!

I love my desk. I think the concept of a workspace you can sit at (and LEAVE!) to access the digital world is underrated nowadays

I'm super into keyboards, mice, and computer peripherals and setups in general. So, I'm curious to see what all of you came up with! The space you built that feels *you* and is designed to do what you expect from your computer-based adventures!
Do you have a streaming setup with RGB all-the-things? A fancy drawing tablet? Minimal dream-desk-setup-tour-2025 worthy gear? A super arcane 60% keyboard for Vim? Show us! It does not have to be fancy or finished! If you love it, it's worth sharing! Someone out here will love to see it

Allow me to begin

I use my computer to develop indie games, work remotely (game development), make music and draw. Also, browse the interwebs like this website. I don't play on my computer most of the time, though I have a Steam Deck I connect to this setup sometimes to get my butt kicked in Friends vs Friends.

The whole desk area:


The computer:


Guitars, MIDI controller and messy cables (a classic):


The graphics tablet, desktop computer, and "DAWless" music station:


What about you? Show us where your digital magic happens!

I would love to participate but I'm deeply ashamed of my shitty old desk and how messy it is

I look forward to posting ITT when I get a nice new desk

Too many screens? What do you mean 'too many screens'?

It doesn't have to look good if it *feels geeewd*!
At any rate, I'm looking forward to hearing from you when you feel comfortable, before or after NDD (New Desk Day).

I love it! Love the Lego plants and the space themed set of panels in the middle!
I'm more of a "one screen" person myself, but if you like many, is there such a thing as "too many"?
Also, I love that looong fursona as a desktop wallpaper haha

Maybe this year is the year I take a ferry to the mainland to go to IKEA

Here's my desk + office space.

The actual desk/work station.


Focus on the wall decorations.


The other half of the office.


My "shelf of important items."

Oh, they still sell them here in Sweden. I guess the availability isn't the same everywhere...

Thanks for the kind words. I love my cozy office.

I love that keyboard, what kind is it?

It's the 8bitdo full-sized keyboard

https://www.8bitdo.com/retro-108-mechanical-keyboard/

The spacebar and Esc key are ones I found on Amazon

I own a not-unsubstantial amount of Lego, and a great deal of it is space sets. Most aren't on the desk though, as they take up a looooot of space.

And yeah, long fursona's good for multi-screen setups!

Actually they seem to have stuck around in France too! They initially advertised them as limited here. I don't have the money or space at the moment, but I hope they become a mainstay in their catalogs. Maybe someday, it will be mine

Aww yeah, 8bitdo retro keyboard gaaaang! I had to change the switches in mine (for Gazzew Bobbagums) because as much as I like the clickiness in a personal space, typing fast really was fatiguing.

Love the fursona on the phone in the middle! Also, Gamecube representation, we stan. The acoustic panels also look like they mean business :O

Kind of makes me want to see it on an ultrawide screen haha.

Gosh, yall's setups are so cool!! Makes me excited for when I finally have a space to do things other than my bed

Not much going on here I think? Just two white fluffy creatures guarding!

Oh no the bug zapper haha. Putting the "battle" in "battlestation" => mosquitoes

Sadly the two fluffies are not very good at mosquito hunting, so I need some help.

Here's my desk situation. I'd ask you to ignore the absolute rat's nest under the desk. I've got a ps5, xbox series x, xbox 360, nintendo switch, laptop, and capture card situation all hooked up under there and despite my absolute best efforts to keep it organized, until I get wire trenches or something it's going to look like Warlock from New Mutants threw up down there. Also the weird square shaped mass under my left monitor is just me having fun blurring out my prescription bottles.

This is my set up! Split keyboard and trackball for ergonomic reasons, and the main monitor is actually a cintiq on a monitor arm I can pull forwards and tilt when it's art time. I'd like to have more little figures or plushies or something on my desk one day... feels like there's more I could do to make it a place that's fun to sit at.

oh cute!! loving that keyboard!

also all of these setups are so nice :3 i gotta jump on this when i get some nice pics of my setup

This is so cool! Ever since I saw Microsoft’s Surface Studio (has it been 10 years? ) I have been thinking of something like this. Really nice setup

this is my current desk setup!
