Re:Ask HN: What cool desk ideas do you have for a home office? by shermanm on Saturday September 09, 2023 @03:21PM (#37449305)
I made a quick and dirty desk when I started working from home during COVID. Plywood with some quick finish on some legs I got from Amazon. I didn’t spend too much time on it because I wasn’t sure how long I’d be working from home. Some things I added:

* Integrated cable management: I attached the power strip and the LAN switch under the desk. I’ve got cats that get curious. * usb hub on the side * Boom arm for my microphone.

I’m working on building a new desk right now. Some things I want to add: * Better cable management. I’d love a little cabinet under the desk that all the cables go through and stay hidden. * Some sort of bag or box on the side so I can sweep my desk clean * built in wireless charging. * integrated KVM switch. Preferably a button under the desk I can press to switch between computers. * built in hardware mute switch/press to talk for my microphone. * some sort of rail mounting system for monitors, camera boom, and microphone. * foot hammock

I find Synergy, Barrier, Input Leap, etc better than KVM.
