The DIY desk worked. The shiny red shelf defeated the mouse.
Alex Chan built a standing setup from an IKEA desk, a secondhand coffee table, a red shelf and cable ties. Then the glossy shelf confused the mouse, so a trackpad took over. All those furniture decisions, and the small thing on top supplied the plot twist.
What tiny detail spoiled an otherwise excellent setup?
