My set-up:
- 11" iPad Pro (yep, it fixed itself; go figure…).
- A stand inspired by the Hoverbar Duo that’s almost half the price but really solidly built. I’m assuming the Hoverbar Duo’s better in some way, and if so I’d recommend it. The stand I’ve got has done wonders for my seated posture, and I appreciate the range of angles and heights I can adjust it for.
- Fell into a split keyboard rabbit-hole towards the end of last year and emerged with a Corne. Mine was built by EBV (Corne Keyboard made by EBV | Etsy). Pre-COVID when the real world was a place I’d visit regularly, I had a flat, folding Bluetooth keyboard for travel. I love the Corne’s layout and how easy it is to customise. Silent key switches so my nearest and dearest don’t murder me.
- No mouse/trackpad. I actually don’t mind reaching for the screen when I need to.
- Away from my desk, I’m one of those strange people who’s happy enough to type on screen if I need to, whether that’s full screen on the Pro or thumb typing on the iPad Mini. I have the Pro in an origami case that lends itself to a few different orientations. If I travel with a need to get serious writing done, the Corne’s small enough to pack. I think the Mini and the Corne should make a perfect coffee-shop focused writing combo, when I finally hit the road again…
