Adding/Including Memories
I lost my dad last year (2023) and have been finding ways to include keepsakes/memories in my workstation. I've dabbled here and there with doing small woodworking projects and attempted a wrist rest from a piece of oak I picked up with him from my great uncles wood shop. I milled it to fit a 60% keyboard as I hadn't decided what keyboard I would be using it on and thought that's where most of my wrist would be in contact even typing on a full keyboard. I gave it a torched/burn appearance as I really was lost in what to do. I found an old shell casing from going hunting with my dad in my hunting pack and decided to imbed it into the end of the wrist rest so it would just have a little difference and a small story behind it as well. I have other things around my workstation from family and friends, but it just feels a little more special having worked on it and adding something small that has a memory for me to it. (Purple was my grandmothers favorite color and I have kinda now...

Aeron is also not the only option, you can get Steelcase Leap and Herman Miller SAYL for a few dollars more than DXRacer and both will blow that overrated garbage away in quality.
On an unrelated note - I don't like to buy used chair either, especially fabric ones. But from personal experience, Aerons are extremely easy to clean and maintain. You could wipe a used one down and you wouldn't be able to tell it from brand new lol.
My company had a couple brand new from Amazon last year. I sold them for $380 each locally, should've just scooped them all up for myself.
