Tools I Use
Tech Stack
A practical productivity and creator control centre built around speed, comfort, and cleaner workflow.
This is the interaction layer behind my daily work: the tools I touch constantly while writing, editing, reviewing, and switching between tasks.
I care about comfort, shortcut access, and a cleaner desk rhythm. Small improvements here compound because these are the tools you end up using hundreds of times a day.
Focus
What this stack optimises for
This page is about speed without chaos: better ergonomics, faster actions, quieter input, and fewer small interruptions across the day.
- Shortcuts that reduce menu-hunting and repeated low-value clicks.
- Comfort for long writing, editing, and desktop-heavy work sessions.
- A cleaner desk interaction model for creators, founders, and digital operators.
Selection
The tools that make the desk move faster
These are the pieces that make day-to-day work feel more deliberate and less cluttered.
Logitech MX Master 3S
A comfortable performance mouse for editing, navigation, and long stretches of desktop-heavy work.
- Why I recommend it
- I recommend it because a good mouse quietly improves everything: navigation, editing speed, scrolling, and general desk comfort. If most of your day happens on a computer, that matters a lot.
- Best for
- Editors, founders, operators, designers, and anyone spending long hours moving across windows, tabs, and timelines.
- What I like about it
- The ergonomics are strong, the scrolling feels excellent, and it makes a long desk day feel less fatiguing.
Logitech MX Keys Mini
A compact wireless keyboard that keeps typing quiet, clean, and easy to live with over long sessions.
- Why I recommend it
- I recommend it because compact, reliable, low-noise typing makes serious writing and operator work feel lighter. It keeps the desk smaller without feeling compromised.
- Best for
- Writers, founders, editors, and people who want a minimal desk without giving up a premium typing experience.
- What I like about it
- It feels deliberate, stays compact, and keeps the typing experience calm instead of loud or bulky.
Elgato Stream Deck Mk.2
A shortcut surface for reducing repeated actions across calls, recording, publishing, and daily digital operations.
- Why I recommend it
- I recommend it because repeated actions drain more energy than they seem to. A good control surface helps you move faster without keeping every shortcut in your head.
- Best for
- Creators, streamers, presenters, operators, and anyone who repeats the same desktop actions every day.
- What I like about it
- It creates a more intentional desk workflow and makes routine actions feel instant instead of interruptive.
Closing note
Why this layer matters
When the mouse, keyboard, and control surface feel right, the desk stops getting in the way. That matters more than most people think when the work is mostly digital.
