What is your Work From Home setup

Question

Since the pandemic started, I am working from home 100% (like a lot of others). Initially, I just created ad-hoc work place, with table and chair I have at home.Now I want to make a proper WFH setup, thinking about furniture, monitor holders, laptop stand, keyboard, mouse etc.What is your favorite (home or office) setup, what are essential things for your productivity and what are nice to have?

CloudNine Mechanical Keyboard - Very similar to Microsoft Ergo 4000. Ultrawide monitor. USB webcam. USB switch to switch between sending peripherals to my personal desktop or my work laptop. Wacom tablet. Electric standing desk with 4 programmable heights. Dedicated room for home office with lots of windows looking over a lake. Lots of green and blue in my vision until I have to pull the shades later in the day.

My work from home and work on the road setup is a yoga mat. I found that my shoulder and back health were severely degrading after years of sitting and despite daily physical exercise, and this was the only solution that reversed that pattern for me.

I have a desk with a personal desktop and a basic computer chair. I can put my laptop on top of the keyboard when sitting or put it on top of my desktop tower to stand. I have an antifatige mat for standing since the floor is not carpet.I think a dual monitor setup could be the only thing that would improve my setup. I haven't gotten around to setting up my desktop monitor to work with the laptop.

Here's one law professor's setup. I thought the telepromter was a nice touch if you have to do a lot of presentations. https://reason.com/2020/05/24/my-new-eight-monitor-display/
