My setup 💻️
Hardware

Laptop (dev related task)
Macbook pro 13" (mid 2012), I upgraded it with 8Go of RAM and an SSD to give it a second life (and it's way cheaper than buying a new one).

Desktop (entertainment)
I built a gaming computer 2 years ago with 2x MSI GTX 970, i5 6600K and 8Go of RAM.

Display
I have 2 gaming screens a BenQ XL2730z and a BenQ XL2410t.
When using my macbook I plug my 27" screen to it and use it as only screen.

Keyboard & Mouse
I have multiple keyboards, at home I mainly use a Massdrop CTRL, but I also have a WASD keyboard laying around.
For gaming purposes I have a Steelseries Sensei [RAW], but for my Macbook I have a Magic Trackpad 2.
I also have a huge "Heroes of the Storm" mousepad where I can put both my keybaord and mouse.
Software
You can find more information by browsing my dotfiles.

OS
I was on Sierra and when I upgrade my laptop I made the switch to Mojave.

Text Editor
I've been using VS Code it came out. I've used PHP Storm a bit, but I prefer the speed and lightness of a text exitor.

Terminal
I'm using iTerm2 with the Ocean Dark color scheme. I use zsh with Oh-My-ZSH to customise it easily.
