The goal is to have a lot of screen real estate, but not so much that you need to crank your neck to work with most of it. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Whether you\u2019re going for dual or triple monitors, portrait or landscape, flat or curved, 16:9 or ultrawide display\u2014make sure it can show every app you\u2019ll need for coding, without being excessively huge.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Try to find the sweet spot: A monitor setup that delivers both impressive optics and maximum efficiency at the same time. If you\u2019d like to dive deeper into what makes the ideal monitor arrangement for coding, do check out the comprehensive post answering that question.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>SP\u2019s Recommendation for the best coding monitor: <a href=\"https:\/\/simpleprogrammer.com\/dell-monitor\" rel=\"sponsored nofollow\">Dell Ultrasharp 27\u201d QHD<\/a><\/em><strong>\u293b\u0363<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The coding desk itself<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/simpleprogrammer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Coding-Desk.jpg\" alt=\"The desk itself\" class=\"wp-image-46214\" style=\"width:750px;height:350px\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><a href=\"https:\/\/simpleprogrammer.com\/sit-stand-desk\" rel=\"sponsored nofollow\">Sit-Stand Desk<\/a><strong>\u293b<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Sitting too much is obviously bad for you. And as programmers, we do it for hours and hours every day. Standing is a bit better\u2013but too much of it isn\u2019t ideal, either. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The best option is a mix of both. A sit-stand desk you can control electrically (or even by crank) lets you switch positions relatively quickly, and puts your body into the varied posture it craves.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><a href=\"https:\/\/simpleprogrammer.com\/anti-fatigue-mat\" rel=\"sponsored nofollow\">Anti-Fatigue Foot mat<\/a><strong>\u293b<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The same goes for your feet. Your feet are made to experience differing surfaces and movement challenges throughout the day\u2013or else they stiffen up, and slowly lose function. When you\u2019re in standing mode, it\u2019s the perfect time to let your feet explore the mini-landscape in the form of a foot mat made for this exact purpose.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Which Hardware to put on your coding desk<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/simpleprogrammer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Dual-Monitor-Setup.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-46220\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Desktop or Laptop computer for your coding desk?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If possible, go for a desktop for higher performance at lower pricing, and <a href=\"https:\/\/simpleprogrammer.com\/best-coding-hardware\/\">better upgradeability<\/a>.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">On the other hand, if you frequently need to work while you travel, get a laptop instead.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Better optics for your machinery<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>A <a href=\"https:\/\/simpleprogrammer.com\/laptop-dock\" rel=\"sponsored nofollow\">laptop dock<\/a><strong>\u293b<\/strong> looks sleek for when you\u2019re using it with the lid closed (or simply storing it).\u00a0<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Adding <a href=\"https:\/\/simpleprogrammer.com\/case-lighting\" rel=\"sponsored nofollow\">RGB lighting<\/a><strong>\u293b<\/strong> to your chassis gives your PC a much cooler look<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Desk Shape and Layout<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/simpleprogrammer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/six-screens.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-46222\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Straight vs corner desks<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A corner desk does give you additional space to put things like a printer, for example. But it\u2019s not something that\u2019s strictly necessary for a great programming desk setup\u2013and it can look less slick than a straight desk.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Cutout desks offer better ergonomics<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A desk with a cutout makes for a more immersive coding experience. It also gives you more space to rest your forearms and wrists on, which puts you into a healthier position while you\u2019re working. This point is relevant only if you\u2019re not using a keyboard tray under the desk (which is recommended and we\u2019ll get to later).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><a href=\"https:\/\/simpleprogrammer.com\/ergonomic-laptop-stand\" rel=\"sponsored nofollow\">Laptop Stand (if using a Laptop)<\/a><strong>\u293b<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Keep your coding environment at eye level. This is important to avoid head-forward posture, neck pain and injury. If you\u2019re using a laptop as your main, or as a supplementary screen, make sure to put it up on a dedicated stand. That way you\u2019ll never have to hunch over to work on it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><a href=\"https:\/\/simpleprogrammer.com\/ergotron-arm\" rel=\"sponsored nofollow\">Monitor Arm to Adjust &amp; Rotate Your Screen(s)<\/a><strong>\u293b<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/simpleprogrammer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Desk-with-Monitor-Arm.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-46213\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Especially if you\u2019re using twin monitors, it could make sense to mount both of them to one of these versatile monitor arms. They\u2019ll let you freely &amp; quickly change the position of your monitor setup without having to fiddle with each screen\u2019s individual stand. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Because they\u2019re so robust and versatile, they\u2019re a better option than the integrated stands in almost all cases anyway.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><a href=\"https:\/\/simpleprogrammer.com\/rgb-lamp\" rel=\"sponsored nofollow\">Backlighting<\/a><strong>\u293b<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The right lighting helps you get into the right mood for a coding session. It can give your desk setup a really cool look\u2014you can even pick custom-colored lights to design it to your taste even more.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">More added benefits of good lighting are that it eases the strain on your eyes, and makes you and your space look better if you\u2019re doing video calls or recording videos to share on YouTube or other platforms.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><a href=\"https:\/\/simpleprogrammer.com\/keyboard-tray\" rel=\"sponsored nofollow\">Keyboard Tray<\/a><strong>\u293b<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/simpleprogrammer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Keyboard-Shelf.jpg\" alt=\"Keyboard Shelf under the desk\" class=\"wp-image-46216\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Something most programmers suffer from are tight upper trapezius muscles. They\u2019re the ones pulling up your shoulders towards your ears. The culprit is having to elevate your arms to reach your coding PC\u2019s periphery\u2014because keyboard and mouse are sitting on a desk that\u2019s simply too high. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Do you want to be able to sustain a long programming session (and career) without pain? Then <em>your shoulders need to carry as little tension as possible<\/em>!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">You accomplish this by using a keyboard shelf underneath the desk. Now you\u2019re reaching straight ahead\u2014or slightly down\u2014to type, causing your traps to stay relaxed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><a href=\"https:\/\/simpleprogrammer.com\/split-keyboard\" rel=\"sponsored nofollow\">Mechanical, Ergonomic, Split Keyboard<\/a><strong>\u293b<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">When you\u2019re using a regular keyboard for coding, your shoulders are constantly rotated inwards. This makes the shoulder and chest tightness caused by working at a desk even worse.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">What a split keyboard does is allow you to type in a more neutral shoulder position. Over time, this can make a big difference in your shoulder health and overall posture.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><a href=\"https:\/\/simpleprogrammer.com\/wrist-rest\" rel=\"sponsored nofollow\">Wrist Rest<\/a><strong>\u293b\u0363<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you rest your wrists on the desk surface \u2013 writing code on a keyboard placed on top of it \u2013 they will be placed into extension the whole time. Obviously that\u2019s not optimal, and it can even lead to things like Carpal Tunnel Syndrome.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">By placing a soft pad under each wrist, you\u2019ll create a neutral position for your wrist. They\u2019ll thank you for taking off the stress.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><a href=\"https:\/\/simpleprogrammer.com\/logitech-mxmaster\" rel=\"sponsored nofollow\">Programmable Multi-Button Mouse<\/a><strong>\u293b<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/simpleprogrammer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Multi-Button-Mouse.jpg\" alt=\"Programmable Multi Button Mouse\" class=\"wp-image-46215\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">With the many repetitive tasks and commands we\u2019re doing as programmers, any way to automate or add efficiency to their execution is more than welcome. This is where a good programmable mouse can come in handy. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For example, if you\u2019re using a tiling software to manage your monitor setup, you could assign buttons for jumping between your different work areas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><a href=\"https:\/\/simpleprogrammer.com\/deskpad\" rel=\"sponsored nofollow\">Desk Pad<\/a><strong>\u293b<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A big desk pad will turn your hard worktop into the most comfortable and secure surface for your coding periphery. You\u2019ll likely want to have a mouse pad anyway, so why not make it bigger? <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">That way you\u2019ll get more area for mouse movement, comfort for resting your arms, and anti-slip padding for your keyboard at the same time. Improved optics for your desk space are an added bonus.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><a href=\"https:\/\/simpleprogrammer.com\/logitech-webcam\" rel=\"sponsored nofollow\">Desk Setup Essential for Software Engineers \u2013 FHD Webcam<\/a><strong>\u293b<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/simpleprogrammer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/webcam.jpg\" alt=\"Full HD Webcam\" class=\"wp-image-46217\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Because professionally programming work for clients or employers is not simply a solitary affair anymore\u2013like it or not, you\u2019ll need to frequently check in with clients, employers or team members, often by video call\u2013a proper webcam with good lens and resolution is a sensible investment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Some models offer such high video quality that they\u2019re perfectly suited to record videos for YouTube or other platforms as well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><a href=\"https:\/\/simpleprogrammer.com\/kvm-switch\" rel=\"sponsored nofollow\">KVM Switch<\/a><strong>\u293b<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As programmers we often have multiple machines for different purposes. By adding a KVM switch to your desk, you\u2019ll be able to jump between and use the same monitor, mouse and keyboard for all of them.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><a href=\"https:\/\/simpleprogrammer.com\/noise-headphones-bose\" rel=\"sponsored nofollow\">Noise-Canceling Headphones<\/a><strong>\u293b<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">When you need to give full focus to your programming work, you want to block out all outside sounds. Thankfully we have amazing technology today that does it perfectly. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Not only will these headphones improve your efficiency when writing code\u2014you can take them with you whenever you travel, greatly reducing your stress and making any plane ride that much more peaceful.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><a href=\"https:\/\/simpleprogrammer.com\/herman-miller-chair\" rel=\"sponsored nofollow\">Professional Chair<\/a><strong>\u293b<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Yes, a great programmer chair represents a mid-sized monetary investment. But it\u2019s one that can save you a lot of back and hip pain down the line. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Unfortunately, humans aren\u2019t built for sitting on our butts for hours on end developing software. The least we can do to limit the damage we\u2019re doing to our bodies is put ourselves into a more ergonomic sitting position. A high-quality chair with back &amp; neck support helps you do that. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Consider spending the money\u2014I promise you\u2019ll be paid back with more productivity and longevity in your programming career.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><a href=\"https:\/\/simpleprogrammer.com\/footrest\" rel=\"sponsored nofollow\">Footrest<\/a><strong>\u293b<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">While we\u2019re sitting there using only our brain and hands, our legs are craving movement\u2014or at least a change in position once in a while. If not, our muscles tighten up, and the legs can even swell up because blood flow is being limited. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Place a simple footrest in front of you under your desk, and you\u2019ll be able to stretch out your legs, move your ankles, and generally sit in a more neutral position. Believe it or not, it even takes some stress off your back.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><a href=\"https:\/\/simpleprogrammer.com\/bose-speakers\" rel=\"sponsored nofollow\">Speakers<\/a><strong>\u293b<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Sometimes you don\u2019t want to wear your headphones, or you have company. This is why it\u2019s cool to have some good quality speakers at your programming desk as well. It\u2019s nice to have the option to create some ambience audio, or shake the walls with your favorite tunes.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><a href=\"https:\/\/simpleprogrammer.com\/cable-management\" rel=\"sponsored nofollow\">Cable Management<\/a><strong>\u293b<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The perfect programmer desk setup obviously can\u2019t have a mess of cables. You\u2019ll want to have everything clean, organized, with all cables neatly tucked away. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Your work station will look much better and this will unclutter your mind as well, so you can focus even better on your code creation. This is one of the cheaper upgrades to your setup, but which makes a big difference.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><a href=\"https:\/\/simpleprogrammer.com\/office-plant\" rel=\"sponsored nofollow\">Greenery<\/a><strong>\u293b<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/simpleprogrammer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Plants.jpg\" alt=\"Plants in the workspace\" class=\"wp-image-46218\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Want to turn your work area into a more lively environment? Then consider adding some plants. They\u2019re also good for improving air quality.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><a href=\"https:\/\/simpleprogrammer.com\/wall-art\" rel=\"sponsored nofollow\">Art<\/a><strong>\u293b<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Depending on which style you\u2019re going for with your desk setup, there\u2019s different styles of art you can choose to put on your walls. It\u2019s a perfect way to round out your programmer habitat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><a href=\"https:\/\/simpleprogrammer.com\/desk-statue\" rel=\"sponsored nofollow\">Gadgets<\/a><strong>\u293b<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you\u2019re into Star Wars, Anime, or any other fantasy characters: Putting little statues or toys will definitely add character to your work desk.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Being in a professional, highly functional, and sleek-looking environment will no doubt make you a more productive, efficient, and happy programmer.&nbsp; Which factors are important to achieve this?
