This is my current go-to split keyboard. It has a pretty conventional layout (so I don't need to relearn how to type), nice typing feel, and backlighting which helps in the evening. The customizable macro keys on the left side make repetitive tasks a lot easier by removing the need to twist my fingers and wrist to hit combo commands in MacOS (e.g. copy and paste, screenshot, etc.).

This company offers a range of active-sitting stools that look and feel professional. These are a nice-looking upgrade if you aren’t into the bouncing yoga ball look in your office.
SHOES
One of the most common questions on my YouTube channel is "what shoes are you wearing?" Here are minimalist shoe brands I actually wear (or someone in my family does).
Lightweight, modern stylish sneakers with thin (but not TOO thin), super flexible soles. If you're looking for barefoot-style shoes that don't look like you're going to the gym or going for a hike, these are the ones.
If you want the absolute thinnest shoe sole in a modern, sleek style, check out VIVOBAREFOOT. They have athletic, casual, and more formal styles for men and women - all with extremely thin soles. The flexibility at the big toe on some models is not as good as I'd like to be.
I really love the Z-trek and Genesis sandals. My friend Mitch likes the DayLite Hikers.
The shoes are mostly an athletic/workout/runner style.
Outdoorsy style with a slightly thicker, more forgiving and flexible sole. The wide toe box is great and the sole is well-suited for walking on harder surfaces (like concrete) for long periods.
Made in America with a very Pacific Northwest style and SUPER comfortable wide toe boxes. Choose sole thicknesses to suit your needs. They also have some decent women's casual styles and comfy kids leather moccasins!
Barefoot style shoes for kids that are affordable and easy to put on and take off!
My son LOVES these shoes. For style, function, and affordability, these are tops for kids' barefoot style shoes.
Men's dress shoes with zero drop? Want minimalist mens dress shoes that actually look like dress shoes? They were impossible to find until Carets.
When I have to wear dress shoes, I wear Carets.
