Hands-on teaching you to build a wireless desktop at low cost, with 1 1 desktop good things, practicality and atmosphere coexist.

This content comes from @ What is worth buying an APP? The opinions only represent the author himself. Author: super cold person

Last year, I made a big transformation on the desktop, bought a 9am Robin Pro ALL-IN lifting platform, replaced the monitor with AOC Loire whose height and angle can be adjusted, and installed Intel Bean Canyon NUC and NUC adapters on the back of the monitor, which added a lot of desktop goodies and solved many problems, but it was still a little less interesting to use in practice.

So I recently bought some desktop equipment and wanted to build a low-cost wireless desktop, so I have this article today, hoping to inspire friends who are going to transform their desktops.

Special reminder: This article has more than 6,000 words and 70 pictures, which is slightly longer. You can click on the table of contents to jump to the chapter of interest, or you can collect it first, and then read it slowly when you are free!

In order to quickly understand the desktop good things in this article, I made the following table:

Maybe everyone has different reasons. I mainly have the following two points:

1. The utility of the original base is limited: although my AOC Loire can rotate 360 degrees and adjust the height and inclination in a small range, when it is used with the lifting platform, the height requirements of the monitor in standing posture and sitting posture are different. At this time, the original base was a little overwhelmed, and the adjustment process was not smooth, especially after I installed the bean valley behind the monitor, the overall counterweight changed, and the original damping feeling could no longer be maintained, and it often fell.

2. The bottom is difficult to clean: the bottom of the monitor and bracket is the easiest to accumulate dust and the most difficult to clean. Generally, a lot of dust will accumulate in less than half a month. If you want to clean it thoroughly, you need to remove the monitor, but it is quite troublesome to unplug the cable every time you move it.

Based on the above two reasons, I finally chose to give up the original base and start with the monitor bracket. Just now, I also mentioned that my monitor is an AOC27-inch Loire, and the back of the monitor is equipped with bean valley NUC, with an overall weight of nearly 9kg. By comparing the price, suitable size, bearing range and other parameters of several mainstream brand brackets, it is found that many brackets supporting 27-inch monitors have a maximum bearing capacity of 9kg, which is barely enough for me, but the stability is not guaranteed. Many display brackets with a maximum bearing capacity of 15kg are a bit expensive, so I finally chose the North Arc E560 large-screen computer bracket, which has the highest cost performance in the same configuration.

North Arc E560 maximum load 13kg, supports the maximum 35-inch display screen. This time, I can finally bear the weight of the 27-inch AOC Loire River+Doudou Canyon, and reserve a lot of space for replacing the large-size monitor later, which is really once and for all. E560' s internal packaging has multiple split structures, which not only ensures the stability of transportation, but also provides users with the pleasure of self-assembly. According to the instructions, the assembly is simple.

The North Arc E560 supports two installation methods: punching and table clamp. By adjusting the position of the fixed splint, it can support the thickness of 10-45mm and 40-85mm, even a thick boss table can be installed smoothly. My house is a lifting platform, and there is no reserved hole, so the table clamp installation method is adopted, and the installed bracket is very stable.

Both support arms of the North Arc E560 are provided with trunking, through which wires such as power cord and data cable can be hidden for wiring, and the height and angle of the display will not be messy. The front of the base supports two expandable USB ports, which can maximize the wireless desktop. The back is equipped with an original tool storage card holder, which can be pulled out at any time when you want to adjust the damping of the bracket.

North arc E560 supports 75*75mm and 100* 100mm VESA mounting hole spacing, which has good compatibility. I also installed the Bean Canyon on the back of the monitor, which is still perfectly matched, and does not affect the adjustment operation of the height, angle and rotation of the bracket at all.

Generally speaking, the adjustment feeling of the mechanical spring bracket is not as good as that of the gas spring bracket, but the use feeling of the mechanical spring system used in the North Arc E560 is almost the same as that of the gas spring, because the mechanical spring of E560 has the patented technology of constant force and can hover freely without adjustment.

The North Arc E560 has a thick mechanical aluminum arm and a matte surface design. The overall black matches my white desktop, which perfectly matches the main colors of black, white and gray, giving people a simple and advanced feeling. The two-stage support arm provides users with an ultra-wide adjustment range.

The height of the northern arc E560 can be adjusted from 0 to 34 cm, and the display can be quickly and easily adjusted to the appropriate height when the lifting platform is switched, effectively preventing the cervical vertebra from leaning forward; When you play the Switch game with the monitor, you can turn down the monitor, shorten the distance and give people a better sense of game immersion.

The three-axis structure of the North Arc E560 supports the up-and-down1/kloc-0+360 rotation adjustment of the display, which is convenient for users to adjust the pitch angle of the display at different heights and obtain better viewing effect.

Moreover, the two supporting arms and the three-axis structure have moderate damping and can hover at any height and angle, which provides a good performance of stabilizing the screen and does not exist the problem of falling off the screen before me.

The 360 rotation function makes the monitor quickly change from landscape screen to vertical screen, and it is good to look at photos and videos on one side, which enhances the variability of the desktop.

During daily cleaning, the monitor can also make room quickly. Cleaning the desktop has never been so simple and efficient, and the desktop area is gray!

North Arc E560 large screen computer bracket is excellent in design and materials, and excellent in bearing capacity, applicable size/hole spacing, bracket type and price. And has excellent screen stability during use. For friends who need large-scale display adjustment and changeable desktop, you can consider the North Arc E560!

After installing the monitor bracket, the space at the bottom of the monitor is much wider, so I started to build an enhanced storage rack! Although I have planted grass for a long time, they are expensive and the color doesn't match my white desktop.

Look at some video bloggers' white desktop series, and they will recommend buying IKEA Bayless Hutt storage boards, but there are only two sizes of 80cm and 120cm, which are either too short or too long for my 140cm desk.

Finally, I chose a custom-made furniture store's 100*20* 1.8cm eco-board, and the price was quite affordable!

I chose a custom-made acrylic block for the base under the board, with the size of 6*6* 18cm. I found many shops, and the quotation is generally 90- 100 yuan. Finally, I found a bargain at 80 yuan, which felt great value!

The acrylic block I got may be due to several scratches on the corner of the courier. Finally, I feel that the impact is not great, and I am anxious to set up the desktop. I negotiated with the merchants and returned to 5 yuan!

The heightening storage rack made of eco-board and acrylic blocks matches my white desktop very well. In particular, the acrylic block is particularly transparent and the panel seems to be suspended. Turn on the ambient light at night, and the effect is really great!

I used a small dark blue table mat before, and dark blue and white don't match well. This time, I chose to start with a large table mat. The size of my lifting platform is1400 * 650 mm. In order to flash out the raised area of the storage rack, I decided that the size of the table mat is about1000 * 400 mm. The color I initially considered was gray, but I thought that a single light gray might be monotonous later, so I chose a light brown+gray double-sided table mat.

I found a shop, superimposed coupons and gold coins, and finally settled around 35 yuan. The price is really affordable!

The gray table mat is placed on the white lifting platform, the black display screen, the bracket and the speaker. Black, white and gray with three colors, especially clean.

Open the back of the desk mat. The back is light brown and very textured. You don't need to buy a desk mat if you plan to transform the brown desktop in the later stage. It's not bad to shoot small products every day.

Wireless desktop, of course, indispensable atmosphere lights. Compared with many brands of atmosphere lights, it feels more expensive. In this issue, we will talk about the low-cost transformation of the desktop, and you can choose the atmosphere light bar that can realize intelligent control!

I chose 1.6m ambience light bar in PDD, which only cost 20.8 yuan, and it supports APP Bluetooth control.

The received ambient light includes two parts: the light bar and the controller, which should be connected by pins, and the tape should be uncovered and attached to the back edge of the table.

Sitting in front of the table, the ambient light passes through the bottom of the heightening frame, which is very beautiful, especially the two acrylic blocks, showing a floating effect. When you get closer, you can see the light beads.

Although it is a 20-yuan light strip, it also has a very rich function App, which supports color palette, rgb parameters, dynamic mode, music rhythm, microphone mode, timer switch and so on.

When it comes to wireless desktops, of course, wireless Bluetooth headsets are indispensable. I usually like to wear semi-in-ear headphones, because the semi-in-ear design will not feel oppressive if worn for a long time. Recently, FIIL released FIIL CC nano, and there are many upgrades based on FIIL CC 2, so I started with one.

The packaging design of FIIL CC nano is ingenious. Opening it step by step is like opening a blind box. The top layer is the charging box and the earphone body, and the bottom two boxes are the charging cable and the instruction manual.

CC nano charging box still continues the open design, which can be accessed at any time without flip cover. The internal magnetic attraction is very firm, so you don't have to worry about the earphone shaking and falling off.

Compared with CC 2, CC nano is smaller and has been upgraded in detail. The high-gloss corner cutting of the charging box, the exquisite water chestnut of the earphone pole, the matte finish of the metal texture and the iconic FIIL breathing light not only enhance the user experience, but also are highly recognizable!

CC nano has built-in 13. 1mm customized LDP diaphragm, professional tuning and excellent sound quality. In the aspect of call noise reduction, IntelliGo AI technology is introduced on the basis of ENC dual microphones. Through DNN deep neural network algorithm, human voice can be separated intelligently and noise can be eliminated. Especially in noisy environments such as buses and subways, the perception of call noise reduction is obvious, voice calls are clear, and there is no fear of missing stops.

Before using CC Pro, you need to manually switch devices. This time, CC nano was upgraded to "multipoint smooth connection", which can connect two devices at the same time. When watching a movie with iPad, the phone can be seamlessly switched to answer, and the movie will be played automatically after hanging up without manual operation. With the ultra-low latency of Bluetooth 5.2, CC nano provides three modes of music, video and games, and the experience is extremely smooth.

In terms of manipulation, CC nano inherits the consistent logic of FIIL, which can be achieved by touching normal functions. Slightly complicated functions are set by fiil+ APP, which supports 10 custom eq and 15 preset sound effects. In terms of battery life, the headset lasts for 5.5 hours at a time, and the charging box provides 4.5 extra charges, totaling more than 30 hours, which is completely enough for daily use.

FIIL CC nano is really small and exquisite, and it is very convenient to carry. Compared with in-ear type, semi-in-ear type is more comfortable to wear for a long time. ENC dual microphone +IntelliGo AI call noise reduction algorithm, Bluetooth 5.2, multi-point smooth connection and other special configurations make the use more arbitrary. If you value wearing comfort, noise reduction, low delay and dual-device connection, you can consider FIIL CC nano.

In fact, I've always wanted to start with the touch screen version of Xiao Ai speakers, because I see many people have one on their desktops. However, due to its daily price of 199 yuan, it is still prohibitive.

Some time ago, I saw Xiaomi grabbing 100 yuan coupons in a limited time. I thought I couldn't get it, but I didn't expect to get it when the time came. I quickly placed an order, which was bought by 99 yuan. I am very happy!

The touch screen version of the Xiao Ai speaker is really powerful. In addition to reading date, time, weather and other information, it also supports intelligent control, entertainment and other functions.

Touch-screen version of Xiao Ai speaker can control home equipment, watch videos and listen to music. You can also enter the desktop versions of iQiyi and Bi Li through secret passwords, log in to member accounts, and watch collection content, real-time barrage and member content like a mobile phone!

Recently, the exclusive K330w launched a hot-plug version of Plus, and I started with one at the first time. Last year, I started to make the exclusive K330W ice cream silver roller. I chose ice cream this time, because the gradient of blue and purple is very youthful. At present, the Plus version on the shaft body only has four choices: red shaft, tea shaft, silver shaft and silent red shaft. This time, I chose the red axis.

In order to distinguish it from K330w, K330w plus has designed a brand-new black package, which is still a stable design of the outer box and the inner box, and the accessories are still so rich. In addition to the same super-long C-port power cord, C-to-A converter, hook and loop and key puller as K330w, there is also an additional shaft puller, which is convenient for users to replace the shaft body, which is also the meaning of hot plug!

From the appearance, there is no difference between K330w plus and K330w, so I won't elaborate on the keyboard structure design here. If you are interested, please read my previous article:

This upgrade is mainly internal, which not only becomes a hot plug version, but also improves the sound attenuation and shock absorption effect. Let's take a look at its working details!

Keycap K330w plus is still made of two-color PBT, with a matte surface, which is very wear-resistant and does not need oiling for a long time.

It is worth mentioning that K330w plus uses a dark pink axis in the big key position of space, which is different from other red axes. Du Jia should have specially adjusted the big key position of the space, and with the design of the satellite axis, the keys are crisp, elastic and stable, and feel good!

K330w Plus still uses Jia's customized crystal axis, and the official data life is 80 million keystrokes. The bottom of the shaft body is provided with buckles in the up-and-down direction, which can be easily disassembled by clamping inward with the attached shaft puller.

When the shaft body is removed, it can be seen that the opening of the aluminum alloy positioning plate of K330w Plus is very regular, and the hot plug socket on the internal PCB adopts copper core, which ensures the stability of hot plug connection.

After using K330w plus for a while, it was found to be quiet and the shock absorption effect was good.

In order to explore the principle, I took it apart and saw that a layer of silica gel pad was added between the alloy positioning board and PCB board, and a layer of silencing cotton was added between PCB board and bottom shell. These upgrades make it quieter for me to work overtime at night, so I don't have to worry about disturbing my family to rest.

Now that it's all taken apart, it's okay. Let's take a look at the battery. Take off the silencing cotton, and you can see that K330w Plus uses a 3600mAh lithium battery:

According to official data, the battery life of 2.4G wireless mode is 180 days, and that of Bluetooth mode is 240 days. For me who travel frequently, the battery life of K330w Plus is really good!

The exclusive K330w Plus has 3 modes of connection: 2.4G, Bluetooth and wired. It can switch between mobile phones, computers and tablets at will in daily work, which is very friendly for users who need multi-screen interaction. Coupled with the newly upgraded hot plug, the modification and playability of the whole keyboard are greatly improved. If you have always been interested in Duga K330w and want to experience the feel of different axes, then Duga K330w Plus may be more suitable for you!

Of course, the desktop is inseparable from the charger. In the desktop environment where land is precious, I will try to choose a charger with small size, rich interfaces and fast charging support. Recently, Belgin 63W dual-port GaN gallium nitride charger was introduced, which adopts double C-port design and can provide PD fast charging for two devices at the same time.

The packaging of the charger adopts Belgin's iconic green, white and gray color matching design, and the Belkin brand logo, charger name, appearance, application scope and characteristics are printed on the front.

On the back is the introduction of specific parameters related to the charger, and on the side is the list of fast charging devices that can be supported. The equipment list is very rich, which shows that the compatibility is very good.

The shell of this gallium nitride charger in Belgin is made of white PC flame retardant material, the interface side is designed with bright surface, and the rest is frosted.

Its height and length are similar to those of the official iPad 20W charger and Mizi 18W charger, but slightly wider.

Belgin's little man logo is printed on the side of the charger, which is very simple and generous. The four sides adopt arc transition design, and the grip is very smooth at ordinary times.

It is worth mentioning that this charger adopts a folding plug design, which is smaller and more regular after folding, and you don't have to worry about scratching other items when you go out, which is very good!

Belgin charger is equipped with IPS intelligent power distribution technology, which can intelligently distribute appropriate output power according to the number and type of connected devices. Both C ports support PD3.0 fast charging standard. Single-port output supports PD fast charging with maximum 18W and 60W respectively. With dual-port output, the intelligent power reduction becomes 45W+ 18W, with a total output of 63W.

As the saying goes, a good horse deserves a good saddle. Equipped with a 63W fast charging charger with excellent performance, and of course, equipped with a fast charging cable. Fast filling line I still choose the soft woven fast filling line in Belgin.

This fast charging cable has four specifications: Type-C to Type-C, Type-C to Lightning, USB-A to Type-C, USB-A to Lightning, and four colors: black, blue, white and pink.

I chose the most commonly used Type-C to Type-C and Type-C to Lightning, and the colors are white and pink, so as to distinguish them quickly.

The reason for choosing this fast charging line is not only because it has passed Apple's MFI certification and can match the same brand as the charger, but also because it values its solid workmanship.

The inner layer of this fast charging wire is wrapped with flexible silicone, and the outer layer is made of double-layer nylon, which is soft inside and rigid outside, tough and durable. The official claims that it has passed 25,000 bending tests and 10000 plug-in tests, which is 25 times stronger than ordinary cables.

After actual use, you can feel soft and skin-friendly, and the wire thickness is just right. It is not only different from the simple toughness of ordinary nylon braided charging wire, but also more resistant to bending and winding than ordinary silica gel fast charging wire.

As we all know, the tail of the charging cable is the most vulnerable part. Some charging cables have been used for some time, but the connectors have been bent.

Belgin's fast charge line is different. Stainless steel electroplating joint and high elastic plasticizing net tail are adopted. The length of the net tail is much longer than the official charging cable, which can provide better protection. Belgin's villain logo is also printed on the side, which is very recognizable.

In order to facilitate storage, Belgin's fast charging line is also equipped with a magnetic wire-attracting buckle, and the edge of the lifting platform is attached with a coated iron sheet as a wire clamp, so that the desktop will not be messy because of too many wires.

Since we started to use this PD fast charging kit in Belgin, it is much more convenient to carry it with us or charge multiple devices.

In the past, when I was on a business trip, I always had to bring at least two chargers, which was very troublesome, and sometimes the socket hole was tight, and I had to struggle which one needed charging more urgently. With the dual-port gallium nitride charger Belgin, you can easily charge an iPad and a set of headphones at the same time. Good compatibility, supporting mainstream USB-C devices such as Apple and Android. It is very convenient to plug in blindly at ordinary times!

After work, I also like to play Switch games. The switch charging base is very inconvenient to carry. This charger in Belgin is designed with double C ports. A 45W port supplies power to the portable screen, and then the portable screen supplies power to the switch in reverse and transmits signals, which can be quickly combined into a small game unit. The remaining 18W ports can also charge my spare iPhone 6s at the same time, so I don't need to carry the switch charging base, portable screen charging head and Apple official charging head.

The longer this desktop strategy article is written, the longer it is. In fact, there are still many good things to share. If you are interested, I will recommend it to you when I have the opportunity. Hope to have some reference for your desktop construction!
