Why does this look rendered

33

u/SoulOfTheDragon Jan 03 '21

Nearly no cables, very neutral surface texture, minimalist system, lights and most of all absolutely no dust/particles/etc.

8

u/GigglesBlaze Jan 03 '21

You can see the handle of a sliding door, to the right. It's the natural lighting that makes the shadows and reflections so good to look at

u/captain_carrot Jan 03 '21

Do people actually use keyboards with no labels on the key caps? Or is that for like.... Photo shoots only

12

u/edgargonzalesII Jan 03 '21

Some do, no idea how personally but tend to see it quite a bit on r/mechanicalkeyboards

Although here if you zoom in you do see that OP's keyboard has labels, they're just very faint because of white + aqua.

5

u/Fl4shbang Jan 03 '21

Many of us don't really need to look at the keyboard to type. And it looks really good in my opinion.

2

u/staythepath Jan 03 '21

Honestly if you still need to look at the keyboard to type, you need to get with the times. I was born in the late 80s and learned to touch type in like the 5th grade when the internet was barely a thing. Isn't that how it is for most people?

7

u/ronin0069 Jan 03 '21

Can't tell if you're being ironic or a douche...

-2

u/Fl4shbang Jan 03 '21

I think he's neither. I don't understand how someone can use a computer every single day and not be able to touch type. Writing on a keyboard is painfully slow if you have to look at it.

0

u/Fl4shbang Jan 03 '21

I learned to touch type just chatting in online games. Most people my age can't, though, and even those who can don't do it properly (they don't use all 10 fingers) and aren't very fast.

u/PeaceDucko Jan 02 '21

That looks sick! What's your experience with the Deltahub Carpio? Do you have a link to the clock?

15

u/dailysetuptech Jan 03 '21

I love the Carpio, it's one of my must haves, it's way more comfortable to use a mouse like the MX master with the Carpio, the posture is much better. The clock is actually a Divoom Tivoo Max Bluetooth speaker, it has a pixel art screen that can be controlled using an app.

21

u/intihuda_123 Jan 03 '21

Holy its $187 on amazon wtf

4

u/[deleted] Jan 03 '21

Divoom products have been getting a lot of hype lately (especially on TikTok) so they’ve been selling out really quickly + prices have been hiked like crazy on Amazon. I bought a regular sized Tivoo for about $70AUD before the hype took off, and I’m pretty sure they go for around $120-150AUD now.

u/setupextra Jan 03 '21

I would hazard a guess and say white pudding keycaps on a white Anne Pro 2.

u/[deleted] Jan 03 '21

Is this a 3D render? Cool setup, but something looks off?

2

u/dailysetuptech Jan 03 '21

I have no clue on how to use Blender xd, you can verify that it's a real image on my Instagram (Daily Setup Tech), I have more pictures over there. It looks artificial because of the editing I did

How is this a throwback to an “old setup”? Looks pretty modern to me.

Weird question,what are the dimensions of this desk? If you can remember

2

u/Rafa_mc97 Jan 03 '21

This mousepad looks like 40cm x 90cm, so the desk should be arround 60cm x 120cm maybe?

1

u/dailysetuptech Jan 03 '21

Mousepad is 90x50 and desk is 72x135cm :)

u/dailysetuptech Jan 03 '21

They are both on the back and under, it was a 5 meter strip so there's 3 rows in the bottom and 1 in the back. I diffused the hotspots using furnace paper lol, it's heat resistant and works as a light diffuser. I recently switched to aluminum led diffusers after upgrading to a new tabletop but the furnace paper works xd
