My Design Setup

Here’s a look at my design setup. It’s rather simple, very minimalistic and free from clutter.

My laptop name ASUS A555LF X366D. It is having i3 processor with 4GB of RAM and running with Windows 7.

Here are some screenshots from my laptop screen.

Mouse:

For Mouse I’m using the Etekcity Scroll X1(M555). This device has a lot of features packed in it but it comes only at 20$. This mouse is heavy which gives it a premium feel as if you are holding other premium mouse. It will work with any USB 2.0 or USB 3.0 port on your motherboard or laptop.

It has an adjustable DPI, but only in the present increments of 800, 1600, and 2400 DPI as it max. It weighs in at only 180 grams, comes with seven programmable buttons, and even offers polling rate adjustments in four stages, from 125Hz to 1000Hz.

Along with the mouse, you get a set of feet, a CD with drivers, and a manual. The mouse is made of plastic, but the Scroll X1 even has a sleeved cable on it, terminating in a gold plated USB 2.0 connection.

The mouse fits in my hand, is comfortable and incredible to use. The design is aesthetically pleasing and it looks awesome.

This mouse is best for its Price Point in the market.

Here’s a closer look at it…

 

Mouse Pad:

Mouse pad for me is essential. I use Mazer Mouse Pad which is of medium size.  It is medium in size, so it becomes easier for me to pack and travel with it.

It has well knitted edge around the mouse pad which is  very smooth. Your palm will not feel tired even after prolonged use.

For the better part of the day I am always on my laptop and I use this mouse pad regularly and it feels very smooth.

Keyboard:

Well any keyboard will do for me. I usually don’t use special keyboard for my design work.  I use Quantum Qhm-7403 Usb Keyboard (Black). This is a very simple and basic keyboard. It is good for daily use.

Microphone:

For Microphone, I use my recorder in Xiaomi Mi 3. It works fine for me.

Software:

I have windows 7 in my laptop. I like windows 7 a lot. I always prefer open source software for my design work.

The software’s I use for my design work are:

1. GIMP
2. Inkscape
3. Blender
