Probably due to cost! I use a Magic Trackpad (white) but I’m hoping santa has been very giving and ordered me a black one to go with my MM this year...
Got a tip for us?

Better pointing down than up. More-or-less eliminates lateral strain on the I/O ports, and avoids dust settling in them too.
Can be a bit of a pain when plugging stuff in if the machine is mounted low. But nothing serious.
Can you post a good pic of your full screen, with some Finder text in it set at max finder font size (16).
Thanks.
I have those same speakers (Logitech Z623), and I am very happy with them. Great sound, and excellent value for money.
Here is a pic with native 4k „more space“ no scaling with the finder fonts set at 16. iPhone was at my normal viewing distance.
Using my 2012 iMac as a target display until the Viewsonic shows up. (Don’t forget the TBolt 3 to 2 adapter if your going to trust display).
Old and new wireless keyboards and trackpads.
Logitech 510 mouse. Cheap and perfect.
Mini sitting on a USB powered laptop air cooler just because.

Yes, got it since a year and I‘m pretty happy with it. Lots of area to work with and a lot of inputs incl. USB-C. Non glossy but also big enough for console gaming.
It even has decent sound built in.
I really like this thread! It's fun! Now that my mini is here, I figured I would add my setup.

4K monitor ? Which one ?
I know I posted back on page 2, but I ran across this older picture that shows off the room we use as a home office (we both work from home), and the approach I took to keeping everything at table top or below (except for the monitors) so as to maximize the windows and view outside. Since it was taken, the left monitor was replaced by a 43" monitor and the stand removed. In this pic, there's a second mini that's hidden behind the chair.
There's a networked Color Laser printer/scanner/copier to the right of my desk (wife's desk is peeking into view next to it) and server in the corner. There's almost a foot of space between the back side of everything and the walls so I can get behind the desks and run all the wires, etc out of sight and keep visual clutter in check.

Very cool, and an impressive room/setup as well!I know I posted back on page 2, but I ran across this older picture that shows off the room we use as a home office (we both work from home), and the approach I took to keeping everything at table top or below (except for the monitors) so as to maximize the windows and view outside.

Thanks! I omitted mentioning that there is a hot tub just out of view on the deck in the center of the pic - that would have been flagged for 15 yards for either piling on or taunting
Seriously though, we're really fortunate to be able to work from home in a setup like that vs. being stuck in an office building downtown.
Here is my setup, Also two of the pictures are when I have the LED lights activated. One is the light on the desk dn there is also a LED strip under the desk. The Mac mini is between the 2 monitors.
2018 i3 Mac mini
LG Ultrafine 4K
Lenovo 2K monitor
Apple Magic Keyboard 2
Apple Magic Trackpad 2
iPad Pro 10.5 on the side part of the desk where the drawers are.
Amazon Echo Show (2018)
And there is a HomePod also behind the Lenovo monitor on a stand.
The wires were cleaned up when I took the LED light pictures, the original picture has the wires hanging still. I ran them along the desk using supplies bought at The Container Store.

Very impressive! There would be an instant 50% boost in productivity for me in an office like that
Sitting around waiting for Fedex to deliver my eGPU enclosure....
Decided to get a few frames with the morning light.

Ooft, pricey. Do you run it at 'looks like 2560x1440' scaling?
