My New Home/Work Setup

Posted on by Michael Molenda

Here is a small sample of what my new home/work setup is currently. An overview is above… how I achieved that is down below…

My laptop in a stand. USB-C cable goes to a hub mounted under the desk.
Keyboard/mouse USB-A extensions going to a hub mounted to side of desk.
The USB-A were disconnected from 2-1 switch to the extensions.
Remember this? The hub is to the right mounted the frame of the desk.

I guess I could have tried to get a 3 to 1 switch and maybe I do that in the future, but because I only work from home once a week, this setup does just fine. If I were to work from home multiple times per week, then a different switch might be in order… but for now, this is working well. And looks pretty good in the process.

[update: New configuration}

I can just connect my laptop and use its keyboard, excellent trackpad and as a second screen.

Until the next blog…
