The gear I actually reach for.
Not a wish list and not a sponsor reel. This is what is plugged in right now, and most of it has been for years.
Hardware
- Drop ALT Mechanical Keyboard
- I really dig this keyboard. I've owned two of them and really appreciate how easy it is to flash with custom settings.
- Elgato Key Light
- There are two key lights mounted to my desk. These are exclusively used on stream.
- GVM RGB Led Video Light
- I use four of these around the studio for different sets.
- MINGDA Magician Max 3D Printer
- The only 3D printer I've owned, but it's been amazing so far.
- RØDECaster Pro II
- Audio mixing, effects, etc. all run through my RØDECaster Pro II.
- Shure SE425 PRO Wired Earbuds
- I've had these in-ears since my days of playing in a band. They've been great for streaming.
- Shure SM7B
- All audio recording for podcasts and most streams & videos are recorded using the Shure SM7B. It's a classic and I love it.
- Sony A6400 Mirrorless Camera
- I should have bought stock in Sony before buying 3 of these cameras and an assortment of lenses.
Software
- Adobe Creative Cloud
- Including video, image and audio editing, Creative Cloud handles 90%+ of my A/V work.
- Fira Code Font
- For all my development, I love using Fira Code with ligatures enabled.
- Notion
- My life is run from Notion. From scheduling content to honey-do's, everything lives there.
- Windows Terminal (Preview)
- Whether I'm using PowerShell or connected to Ubuntu in WSL2, I love working in Windows Terminal.
Network
- Ubiquiti 24 PoE Switch
- Every wired device in our home runs through the Ubiquiti switch. No fuss and PoE for many devices.
- Dell PowerEdge R630
- This server has tons of storage and runs TrueNAS, which also runs Plex, OctoPrint, and Home Assistant.
- Ubiquiti Dream Machine Pro
- My entire home is powered by the Dream Machine. It has been a "dream" to setup and run.
