This took me longer than I'd like to admit to find, but yes it does come with a grommet base http://bit.ly/2Dq0dId. Vivo product page http://bit.ly/2Dq0j2x. The reach and design are VERY reminiscent of the Loctek D7 and D7L https://amzn.to/2DqPgpO which I am a HUGE fan of, compared to a few other gas spring arms I've had before. I might pick a few of these Vivo arms up considering the fast price disparity between these products, and I do approve of the all-matte-black design, and the removable VESA mount is a nice upgrade, though I've dremel'd some channels in the top of my other mounts to make them nearly as hot-swappable already. For many of you asking about mounting monitors larger than the rated spec, there are many people doing this. The 2 things to consider are the weight and the VESA compatibility. You may have to pick up an adapter plate if you have a monitor that takes 200x100 or 200x200, even though the weight may be well within 20lbs. https://amzn.to/2DvKV4u I'm using this adapter to mount a 40" 4k Samsung panel to my D7L. The last thing to consider is the bolt/nut that holds the vertical swivel in place. This is a problem with extremely tall monitors, or vertical mounting situations, because there is increased leverage weighing on the last joint on the monitor arm, especially if cables are providing additional tension on the lower-half. I do not yet own this monitor arm and cannot attest to the ability to tighten this bolt/nut to this effect, but the manual does show that it is a feature. I have, however, had an arm in the past that would not let me tighten enough to keep the necessary friction for large monitors. Keep in mind also that mounting large or vertical-mount monitors in this way will make it more difficult to accomplish this vertical swivel, if that's a feature you hope to utilize frequently. p.s. does anyone remember how much these were dropping for?

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...
