any tips or things that i need to improve? i feel like it is still lacking

Lenovo Legion Pro 7i ❤️

Hey y’all. So I have been really wanting to jump into glass recently for a couple months. I’ve been using my desk for the past two months and I’ve LOVED IT. The speed, the stability, is unreal. But I know that this thing ain’t gonna last forever, and it’s gradually slowing down. Skate wear is a big issue as my Jade dots get fucked on this thing. I’ve looked at all of the black glasspads on the market, and every one of them has some sort of logo branded in the corner. With the exception of the GLSSWRKS Polarity, I couldn’t find anything else that would offer me a pure black slab with no distractions.

I love speed, and I want a fast experience. I mostly play Gunfire Reborn and Redliner from Roblox (yeah, fucking Roblox of all things, it’s very thrilling to play) 😂

If anyone has tried out the Yang, I’d like to know your experience with it to allow me to understand what I’m going for here 🥰

This is what my setup looks like by the way

100% Xiaomi HyperOS 3

Been changing things around on my desk for a while and I think I finally found a layout that works for me. Main monitor in the center, vertical on the side, and a small portable display underneath.

I've been using a mini PC (GEEKOM IT15) with this setup for video editing and some gaming. Having Premiere open on the main monitor while keeping other stuff on the side has been really convenient when I'm constantly switching between different windows.

Still thinking about improving the wall and cable management though. What would you change?
