r/shittybattlestations

Looking for feedback on my compact productivity + gaming setup. I use this space for coding, music, calls, gaming, and general daily work.

The desk is pretty space-limited, so I’m using wall shelves + a pegboard to keep the main surface usable. I’m mainly looking for practical suggestions that make the setup cleaner without making it less functional.

Things I’d like feedback on:

Cable management around the shelves, speakers, and right-side power outlet
Lighting / photo angle
Speaker placement and desk layout
What to add/remove so it looks cleaner while keeping everything within reach

Gear list:

Monitor: Samsung Smart Monitor M9 32" 4K OLED
Laptop: MacBook Pro M4 Pro
Desktop: Mac mini M4
Keyboard: Logitech MX Mechanical Mini White
Mouse: Logitech MX Master 4
Monitor light bar: BenQ ScreenBar Halo 2
Workflow controller: Elgato Stream Deck + White
Speakers: Edifier R1855DB
Subwoofer: Edifier T5 — not visible in the photo
Headphones: Sony WH-1000XM6
Controller: Xbox Wireless Controller
Monitor stand: IKEA monitor stand
Pegboard: IKEA SKÅDIS
Wrist support: DeltaHub Carpio 2.0

Open to suggestions/roasts — what would you change first?
