Keyboard: Halcyon Elora

For more keyboards, see the timeline.

A modular split keyboard with MX or Choc support and a number row—both must-haves for me. I came from a Glove80 (great for ergonomics, but missed the MX feel) and wanted more control over switches and keycaps.

Build:

  • MX PCB
  • FR backplate (Brass backplate is on its way)
  • Black casing
  • Blue isolation foam
  • Pre-ordered: OLED screen modules

Switches: Keygeek Y2 linear
Keycaps: Klein Blue (AliExpress)

Mouse: Keychron M5

Since I’m already on the track of trying to be ergonomic, I am using the following mice:

  • Daily desk usage: Keychron M5 mouse.
  • Carrying: Keychron M6 mouse.

Headphones: Sennheiser HDB630

Beforehand I made use of the HiFiMan Edition XS, it is great- but it is such a loose fit, that for daily use it gets quite uncomfortable. I really wanted something that I could wear all day, listen to good quality music, and even have the ability to use it when omw to a client.
The HDB630 headphones are great, the quality is amazing and it feels almost feels illegal, how good wireless headphones can be. Although the price does hit, I can highly recommend it.

Monitor: Gigabyte M32U

At the moment, I’m enjoying a 32-inch 4k monitor with a refresh rate of *144hz.
*This monitor is enough for me, since it provides enough space to work in and allows having an ‘instant’ feeling because of the 144hz.

Laptop: MacBook

For work, I make use of a MacBook Pro M1 Pro-series. It has the following specs:

  • Chip: Apple M1 Pro
  • Memory: 32 GB
  • Storage: 1TB

PC: High-End PC

When I don’t use the MacBook, I make use of the PC. It is coming to a point, where I don’t make use of the PC anymore — and it is now just catching dust.
But the specifications for this are:

  • GPU: AMD Radeon 6900XT
  • CPU: Intel i9 9900KF
  • Memory: 64 GB 3200 DDR4 Corsair Vengeance
  • PSU: 1200W Be Quiet! Platinum
  • Fans: A lot of, Be Quiet! Fans
  • CPU Cooler: Water cooled
  • Case: Be Quiet! Dark Base Pro 900 rev. 2
  • OS: Ubuntu 24.04 LTS

WiFi: Hacking Device

I’ve been using this device for a couple of years now, and I have been really enjoying it. I highly recommend this device to anyone into WiFi-hacking.

  • Name: AWUS036AXML from ALFA Networks
  • Specifications:
    • Bands: 2,4GHz, 5GHz (band 1), 6GHz (band 1)

I have this device 2x for Evil-Twin attacks on WPA3.
