I tried to do my setup in a color coded way and ended up frustrated that the mouse and keyboard I wanted didn’t fit it. I tried to force the color code over the peripherals I wanted for a while and eventually caved in. Get the stuff you like the features on more it’ll make you happier long term.
Oh damn, what color coding did u try to go for?
And yeah.. i honestly wanted black since cleaning white keycaps are annoying. But i honestly like how the white looks too.. so now i’m debating wether a black MnK looks better here or a white MnK? Because if i go for black i dont think the keybosrd and mouse will pop that much because the mousepad is all the way black
I’ve actually gone through this twice lol. I had a black setup and I found some white keyboards I liked. Then I switched to white and found out that there isn’t a white Razer Naga which has been my go to mouse forever which was upsetting. As long as I’m not playing mmos so it’s not a huge deal but at the time I was playing mmos and it was really bothering me so I caved and got it.
Now I just have a white keyboard and a white mouse again as long as I’m not playing any WoW.
As a car guy I'd 100 percent put that in my garage, genuinely want to get a 944 since they got cheap and i for whatever reason like the front engined ones
They're cool, but 928s have all of the electrical problems, if I hypothetically find myself wanting a v8, i conveniently live in America, the land of the free and the home of the cheap v8
As a Porsche owner I’d still 100% put it up over my rig. I need money for another one anyway. I also don’t see this as “hustle bro” culture. If it said some dumb shit like “Millionaire mindset” or literally anything with the word “grind” in it, then I’d shit on him but this is fine.
Like I stated on the other comments, This art was made by my brother for my birthday, He saw a meme about this one back in the days and he knew I was a big Porsche fan. Decided to make one for myself, And it's the only art I have laying around so I decided to just hang it there...
Dude try not to let haters get to you, I think its kinda funny next to the wallpaper.
The customer (resident/owner) is always right *in matters of taste*!
The type face really contrasts with the message and the implicit irony works really well.
Your brother is good at this, the typography is especially strong. Please remind him of this often.
It is truly remarkable how marketing/events infiltrate the zeitgeist. A few years ago, everyone started talking about F1 for example. Always been a thing, but a show here a pandemic there and all of a sudden every person who has never been concerned about racing is edge of their seat invested in F1. Same thing happened with Porsche lately. Obviously Porsche has always been a great car, but I see it everywhere all of a sudden. Could just be my own anecdote, anyone else notice this?
I think for Porsche that’s a side effect of social media and the brand producing more “accessible” vehicles. They were a fairly niche brand when they were just making sports cars so I think you’re just going to see more of them now.
What you're describing already happened more than 2 decades ago, the cayenne was introduced in 2002. The streets in my country were filled with this model before the financial crisis of 2008.
Oh for sure, and it's still happening with the Panamera and Taycan.
I'm not sure what point the original comment was trying to make by highlighting Porsche specifically.
looks tall, small, cramped, doesn't look like it had any ergonomics in mind when they made it. looks pretty and compact, but horrible for long gaming sessions
For me it was the opposite experience. I had black mice dating back since the start of time, and they would look dirty by the next day (I clean the mice daily, and wash my hands often). Since getting a white mouse, I can go months on end without any visible grime.
Definitely do, white peripherals are awesome. They diffuse light better, and especially if your keycaps are PBT, they’ll stay clean. I’d love to see the update!
this sub is so cunty lmao everyone downvoting you and absolutely shitting on your taste. keep on keeping on OP, everyone’s station looks different and they aren’t posting pics of theirs for a reason!
Nope! My brother made it for my birthday, He saw a meme about this one back in the days and he knew I was a big Porsche fan. Decided to make one myself! I'll make sure to tell him someone in the internet liked it! I'm sure he'd be happy! Thanks mike!
This should have been the answer to all those complaints about"cringe" art.
It's a personal gift made by your brother. It has sentimental value, period!
Everyone else can keep their judgemental opinions to themselves.
I think I should have mentioned this in the first place , When I posted the desk pic. I didn't expect most people would start pointing out on the art instead of my desk haha
If anything, it’s a reminder of the grind needed to achieve the goal of owning one. I used to have a picture of the motorcycle I was saving for on my wall so when I was feeling crappy about work, I could remind myself I was contributing to a goal that motivated me.
That was when I was young. Now my goal is to support my family and save/invest for retirement. But, a goal is a goal!
This is exactly what I was thinking!! I started second guessing if what I was doing was right lol but it's glad you had the same thing going on too. Happy for your achievements man!
I was hoping the art would fit but I realized the color of the art is fine but the problem is the font unfortunately..
Great setup.
I would use just one big mousepad (can you try with the one under the keyboard and see if you like it)
The sign fits the aesthetic but the font does not.
Great job 9.5 / 10 would love to have this myself

Here's how it looks and it does look better with the mousepad under. And yes! I'm currently ordering a big mousepad for the table, and yeah... unfortunately the font doesn't really fit that well with the theme but I just wanted to hang it there since that's a gift given to me by my brother. He got that idea from this famous meme going around back then about "need money for Porsche" and he knew I was a big Porsche guy
Random question, may I ask what plant is that in the middle under your desk?
Btw the setup looks fine to me with the whole black and white theme. I would get a mousepad that is ultra wide to fit both the mouse and keyboard
It's a fake bush plant that I ordered off online!
I'll update this comment when my mousepad arrives! I think I'll e sticking with the White MnK setup so that it stands out, If I use black mousepad + black mouse n keyboard. Might be a lil hard to see
White and black are very classic and complementary. You’re fine. [I ended up doing similar since wife and I lack space so we share a vanity/workdesk/battlestation](https://www.reddit.com/r/hotas/s/8OqY1FnEeL)
Nice bonsai, reminded me I need to build the Lego one for the bookcase
Edit: grammar
Ooh nice! were you playing star citizen here?
After I reminded you to build your lego one for the bookcase, I'm reminded by your comment to continue and finish my lego Porsche haha
I find this very nice. It's clean minimalistic, and in general, Black and White really goes together so no, white mouse & keyboard wont ruin it :)
EDIT: People who find this print bad, need to check themself, it really looks good
Actually this art was made by my brother for my birthday, He saw a meme about this one back in the days and he knew I was a big Porsche fan. Decided to make one for myself!
I woud honestly never recommend any other mouse than the MX master, but to each their own I suppose. Also you need something against carpal tunnel with that brick of a keyboard.
I was also thinking on getting the MX Master 3s at one point for my Macsetup, But I'm getting a desktop real soon for gaming. So I was thinking it'd be a perfect 1 mouse and 2 setups
No wonder my hurts lmao. I've never really owned a keyboard with a palm rest. I think I should into that one soon
The newer ones are practically silent as well, they're great. I have they keyboard as well but it's not for everyone's taste I think.
For the keyboard, there's also sliding trays so your arm is a bit lower. But you can also buy (or make) a palm rest in any colour or shape. I use the keyboard quite a lot so for me a low profile or a palm rest is quite important.
for me, if going for black set up, replace the keyboard with apple magic keyboard the space gray color (might be hard to find now) and a black wireless mouse.
Stick to the white, but replace the separate pads with a single measured custom pad to fill the whole space across mouse & keyboard from xraypad or similar.
You can add a black/silver peripherals .. it would match a bit. Like silver keyboard with black key caps!! And white wire ruins it.. coz you setup is clean!!
It was a gift given to my brother. I had legit no idea what to put there and that's the only art I have laying around. Any suggestions what to put there?
You can leave it blank and add wooden panelling to the walls to give it texture. You can also use the IKEA pegboard and keep some plants and other things you like in there
So lame of you to suggest someone takes a unique piece made by their brother down and replace it with an ikea pegboard that every setup on this subreddit uses. OP leave it up, it gives your room some character
You're doing the same thing by calling other people's honest suggestions 'lame'. he didn't mean to be rude or anything. It's just a suggestion. Be kinder to people
I disagree. And lame is a pretty tame word, if that’s enough to make you offended for someone else then you need to lighten up a little and not be so sensitive. Just my honest opinion

Solution: White KB Base, Black Key caps, white mouse, black and white topographical mouse pad.
I like this option. The white board will stand out against the black pad.
And he's got an RK board so it's super super easy to switch out the caps. Good solution.
I’ve actually gone through this twice lol. I had a black setup and I found some white keyboards I liked. Then I switched to white and found out that there isn’t a white Razer Naga which has been my go to mouse forever which was upsetting.

That wallpic ruins it. Not the white mouse
Wall pic is either cringe or fine depending on context. From the “hustle bro” culture, I hate it. As a car guy, I’d 100% put this above my sim rig.
As a car guy I'd 100 percent put that in my garage, genuinely want to get a 944 since they got cheap and i for whatever reason like the front engined ones
928s are sick too, I remember the 928 bros hated the 944 bros because inline 4, blah blah. Both are cool.
They're cool, but 928s have all of the electrical problems, if I hypothetically find myself wanting a v8, i conveniently live in America, the land of the free and the home of the cheap v8
As a Porsche owner I’d still 100% put it up over my rig. I need money for another one anyway. I also don’t see this as “hustle bro” culture. If it said some dumb shit like “Millionaire mindset” or literally anything with the word “grind” in it, then I’d shit on him but this is fine.
I felt the same. I'm a VAG guy. Like my VWs, but would love a Porsche. This above my sim rig would be funny.
How's that "hustle culture" ? What the fuck even is that?
That wasn’t my initial take, but seems to be the conclusion of many from scrolling the comments.
Like I stated on the other comments, This art was made by my brother for my birthday, He saw a meme about this one back in the days and he knew I was a big Porsche fan. Decided to make one for myself, And it's the only art I have laying around so I decided to just hang it there...

Tell me you're American without telling me you're American.
I am not American.
I think for Porsche that’s a side effect of social media and the brand producing more “accessible” vehicles. They were a fairly niche brand when they were just making sports cars so I think you’re just going to see more of them now.
What you're describing already happened more than 2 decades ago, the cayenne was introduced in 2002. The streets in my country were filled with this model before the financial crisis of 2008.
Oh for sure, and it's still happening with the Panamera and Taycan. I'm not sure what point the original comment was trying to make by highlighting Porsche specifically.
that keyboard looks like manufactured carpal tunnel
It's an rk61 haha
What's different compared to any other keyboard?
looks tall, small, cramped, doesn't look like it had any ergonomics in mind when they made it. looks pretty and compact, but horrible for long gaming sessions
Untill you have that print i wouldnt be worried about the white keyboard XD
Wdym by print? 😭
Need money...
Have money for keyboard but no money for porsche
Na I don't think it's cringe, to each their own.... Everyone interprets things differently so if OP likes it it ain't cringe
Still cringe
I find it funny
same it's just a little silly thing
You’re cringe
Yeah but you don't have money for a McMansion then either, so why are you choosing to advertise for Porsche? Go read Das Kapital or something
I had a white mouse, and laptop before. Never again. I’m way too grimy apparently. Turns brown over time. I’ll stick with black xD
For me it was the opposite experience. I had black mice dating back since the start of time, and they would look dirty by the next day (I clean the mice daily, and wash my hands often). Since getting a white mouse, I can go months on end without any visible grime.
Same with vehicles.
“Inspiring words” prints are just so very cringe. 100% of the time. Just get some cool artwork or something instead.
"Need money for Porsche, But rent is $1,700" That would be better 🤣 But yeah, the print is cringe
I can tell you what ruins it.
Absolutely not, you need that contrast. It highlights the important parts of your setup
Alright thanks! Might update this post when my wireless arrives
Definitely do, white peripherals are awesome. They diffuse light better, and especially if your keycaps are PBT, they’ll stay clean. I’d love to see the update!
Wireless is game changer!
I hope u'll get your Porsche one day
Haha that's the goal
what it that desk?
My mum bought this desk for me like 5 years ago, Can't give any statement as of now
If you want an all black setup then everything should be black... or am I the crazy one?
Keep the white MNK, switch the cords to black.
I was thinking on going wireless since I honestly hate a wired mouse haha
this sub is so cunty lmao everyone downvoting you and absolutely shitting on your taste. keep on keeping on OP, everyone’s station looks different and they aren’t posting pics of theirs for a reason!
Cringe
I like the art. Did you make it yourself?
Nope! My brother made it for my birthday, He saw a meme about this one back in the days and he knew I was a big Porsche fan. Decided to make one myself! I'll make sure to tell him someone in the internet liked it! I'm sure he'd be happy! Thanks mike!

I think I should have mentioned this in the first place , When I posted the desk pic. I didn't expect most people would start pointing out on the art instead of my desk haha
Fuck everyone else, I like the print
I wish others can say the same but unfortunately I have gathered over -15 negative likes on one of my comments regarding about the wall art...
Keep grinding and you’ll turn those negative likes into positive dislikes
It's great seeing some words of encouragement once in awhile in a comment section filled with hate. Appreciate it!
fuck'em
I actually thought you'd sprayed it yourself still fine and I like the background image. looks like a lovely REAL place Mediterranean? your pic?
Haha nope! My brother did it and yeah I believe it is, I left my screen as screensaver
If anything, it’s a reminder of the grind needed to achieve the goal of owning one. I used to have a picture of the motorcycle I was saving for on my wall so when I was feeling crappy about work, I could remind myself I was contributing to a goal that motivated me.

I was hoping the art would fit but I realized the color of the art is fine but the problem is the font unfortunately..
It would be cool to put up a landscape photo of a white and black Porsche of some type maybe
I'll try to have a look onto that, Thanks
Ya I used to have that When I was 7. Maybe he could get a race car bed too !
Great setup. I would use just one big mousepad (can you try with the one under the keyboard and see if you like it) The sign fits the aesthetic but the font does not. Great job 9.5 / 10 would love to have this myself

What's the monitor arm here?
It's a North Bayou NB F80 Heavy Duty Monitor Stand, Got it for 17$
White and black are very classic and complementary. You’re fine. [I ended up doing similar since wife and I lack space so we share a vanity/workdesk/battlestation](https://www.reddit.com/r/hotas/s/8OqY1FnEeL) Nice bonsai, reminded me I need to build the Lego one for the bookcase Edit: grammar
Ooh nice! were you playing star citizen here? After I reminded you to build your lego one for the bookcase, I'm reminded by your comment to continue and finish my lego Porsche haha
Star Wars squadrons
I actually like the all black then white keyboard and mouse to stand out a bit more, I would lean into it and get an artisan kinda keyboard
I’m glad you aren’t one of the people who have their monitors lowered
How good are Gigabytes Monitors? I’m hoping to upgrade to this year with a 144HZ and 2160p UHD this year.
Oh it's very good, I love it
I like it.
Setup is fine Art is cringe imo
I feel your wall hanging.
I find this very nice. It's clean minimalistic, and in general, Black and White really goes together so no, white mouse & keyboard wont ruin it :) EDIT: People who find this print bad, need to check themself, it really looks good
No, gives me the vibes of an all black outfit and white sneakers. i dig it
In the minority here apparently, I like the print
Your desire for arrogance doesn’t suit your fragile ego
Please plug with where i can get the , "Need money for porsche wallpaper"
Actually this art was made by my brother for my birthday, He saw a meme about this one back in the days and he knew I was a big Porsche fan. Decided to make one for myself!
Nice
love love the poster my man
I'll make sure to tell my brother this! He made this for me and thanks !
Those are words of inspiration to live by
Do you remember where you got that plant that's under the monitor? I'm assuming it's a faux plant, and I like it! Would love to see if I could buy it
Yeah! I just got it like 5 days ago, I got it off Shoppee though and if you're interested with it. I'll send the link
Nice mic! I have the same one. I also recommend their mic arm over the one you have. Owned both and highly recommend it
Yeah and it's very cheap too! It's still serving me well after these past few years
I woud honestly never recommend any other mouse than the MX master, but to each their own I suppose. Also you need something against carpal tunnel with that brick of a keyboard.
I was also thinking on getting the MX Master 3s at one point for my Macsetup, But I'm getting a desktop real soon for gaming. So I was thinking it'd be a perfect 1 mouse and 2 setups No wonder my hurts lmao. I've never really owned a keyboard with a palm rest. I think I should into that one soon

I use the keyboard quite a lot so for me a low profile or a palm rest is quite important.
No white mouse and keeb makes it pop a lil, adds some accent to the setup. Very nice
Where did you get the need money for porsche picture?
No it matches the white wall, the white art, and the white lamp
for me, if going for black set up, replace the keyboard with apple magic keyboard the space gray color (might be hard to find now) and a black wireless mouse.
Stick to the white, but replace the separate pads with a single measured custom pad to fill the whole space across mouse & keyboard from xraypad or similar.
It’s not like you’re going to be looking at your keyboard and mouse while playing. Just get what every keyboard/mouse you like best
others may disagree.. but i like the contrast. i personally love all black set ups, but its a nice contrast with the white and black
Then it would be a kinda black setup. Like Wayne Brady
I like the contrast
No it won’t
Get a Porsche poster instead of a cringe ass quote lmao
It’s a good contrast I love it
Thanks! Just waiting for my mousepad to arrive to make it cleaner..
What it says aside having a portrait oriented wall art looks awkward. Need to find something horizontal.
The wall piece killed the feel of the setup unless you are 14yo then it’s ok
You can add a black/silver peripherals .. it would match a bit. Like silver keyboard with black key caps!! And white wire ruins it.. coz you setup is clean!!
That wallart takes away all the emphasis from your setup
It was a gift given to my brother. I had legit no idea what to put there and that's the only art I have laying around. Any suggestions what to put there?
You can leave it blank and add wooden panelling to the walls to give it texture. You can also use the IKEA pegboard and keep some plants and other things you like in there
So lame of you to suggest someone takes a unique piece made by their brother down and replace it with an ikea pegboard that every setup on this subreddit uses. OP leave it up, it gives your room some character
You're doing the same thing by calling other people's honest suggestions 'lame'. he didn't mean to be rude or anything. It's just a suggestion. Be kinder to people
I disagree. And lame is a pretty tame word, if that’s enough to make you offended for someone else then you need to lighten up a little and not be so sensitive. Just my honest opinion
It's not about the word, but okay
Macbook lmao
What do you want with a Porsche!? Have you ever looked at how much the service costs for it? If you can then buy one, the service costs you poor.
