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.

My only gripes about this is that the bezels and buttons are butt ugly and very difficult to use and manage, whereas the MG279Q was sleek and nice and the little joystick and buttons behind the Asus were very intuitive and easy-to-use. Also missing were extra USB ports on the monitor (whereas the Asus had them).
That being said, I enjoyed the MG279Q so much that I'd rather have just stuck with that than upgrading and going through all the hassle for this Nixeus. It was going through all this when I realized that I actually prioritize aesthetics and functionality a bit more than I thought.
