All Meh Gear
Hardware, Software, and Tools I use to build things.
A note from Michael:
I get asked about the stuff I use on a regular basis. To make it easier to share with others, I try to keep the lists below up-to-date. Something missing? Hit me up and let me know.
Network
Ubiquiti 24 PoE Switch
Every wired device in our home runs through the Ubiquiti switch. No fuss and PoE for many devices.
CyberPower UPS
Dell PowerEdge R630
This server has tons of storage and runs TrueNAS, which also runs Plex, OctoPrint, and Home Assistant.
Ubiquiti Dream Machine Pro
My entire home is powered by the Dream Machine. It has been a "dream" to setup and run.
Ubiquiti AC Pro Access Point
Ubiquiti Power Backup
Software
Adobe Creative Cloud
Including video, image and audio editing, Creative Cloud handles 90%+ of my A/V work.
Fira Code Font
For all my development, I love using Fira Code with ligatures enabled.
Notion
My life is run from Notion. From scheduling content to honey-do's, everything lives there.
Visual Studio Code (Insiders)
Windows Terminal (Preview)
Whether I'm using PowerShell or connected to Ubuntu in WSL2, I love working in Windows Terminal.
Hardware
Dell 27" Curved Gaming Monitor
Drop ALT Mechanical Keyboard
I really dig this keyboard. I've owned two of them and really appreciate how easy it is to flash with custom settings.
Elgato Key Light
There are two key lights mounted to my desk. These are exclusively used on stream.
GVM RGB Led Video Light
I use four of these around the studio for different sets.
Lighting Support Rail System
Logitech MX Master 3
MINGDA Magician Max 3D Printer
The only 3D printer I've owned, but it's been amazing so far.
NUX B-3 Wireless Mic System
Rode NTG4+ Shotgun Microphone
RØDE Wireless Go II Lav Mic
RØDECaster Pro II
Audio mixing, effects, etc. all run through my RØDECaster Pro II.
Shure SE425 PRO Wired Earbuds
I've had these in-ears since my days of playing in a band. They've been great for streaming.
Shure SM7B
All audio recording for podcasts and most streams & videos are recorded using the Shure SM7B. It's a classic and I love it.
Sony A6400 Mirrorless Camera
I should have bought stock in Sony before buying 3 of these cameras and an assortment of lenses.
