[WIP] 5+ Years of Tinkering — Floating Acacia Battlestation
This setup has slowly evolved over the past 5+ years. I finally feel like it’s coming together the way I envisioned.
The desktop is an acacia butcher block I scored on sale at Lowe’s, then finished with stain and polyurethane. The drawers are the trusty IKEA Alex units — no shame, they’re popular for a reason and they’ve held up great.
I recently added a standing desk base from Amazon. It used to sit on furniture feet above the drawers, but now it’s got a floating desk look I’m really happy with. Still need to fill in the old screw holes, but it’s getting there.
Peripherals:
• Keyboard: Glorious GMMK Pro with Zeal Healios silent linear switches + Cerakey v2 ceramic keycaps
• Mouse: Logitech G303 Shroud Edition
• Numpad: KBDPAD MKII
A bunch of other gear pictured but not named. If you’re wondering I’ll do my best to divulge anything else.
Audio gear is next on the list — I’m planning to pick up the Elac Debut 3.0s now that I’ve got the space for proper speakers.
Open to thoughts or suggestions! Looking for a clean desk mat that isn’t just grey or a solid color.

I recently bought one from [CannonKeys](https://cannonkeys.com/collections/deskmats) and love it… I bought the stealth which is just black with a faint logo bottom left. They have many designs and are made very well. I also have 2 glass mouse pads I tried and I’m still mixed on them to be honest. Not good to have around a cat…
