Nanolef announced launch today Pegboard Desk DockA desktop light that is capable of having accessories and serves as a dock for peripheners like a keyboard and has been added to USB-A and USB-C ports.
The Pegboard Desk Dock Nanolef works with the desktop app, so it is capable of changing the color of light to match the material on your MAC display, which is ideal for this gaming, watching movies and similar activities. Like other Nanolef products, the pegboard desk doc supports millions of colors, and can be set on various scenes, including the music responding.
Because the pegboard desk dock is to work exclusively with Mac or PC using a physical connection, it does not connect to the homcomb -like Homcits like other nanoleph products, nor does it work with the Nanolef mobile app. Instead, it connects a computer on USB-C. There is a built-in USB-C cable that needs to be connected to the USB-C port on the attached display of Mac or Mac like a studio display.
Once connected, the Pegboard Desk Dock can be added to the Nanolef Desktop app. More than one dock can be added to one Mac at a time, but both need to plug into individual USB-C ports, or, alternately, plug into each other. To power two, the PD port of the host Dock must be connected to the power adapter through the USB-C cable, none of which are included. You will also have to plug for highly operated external devices such as webcams and keyboards with RGB lighting.
The Nanolef desktop app can be used to set colors and animated scenes where the lights will cycle through various colors using the pattern. There is also an option to change the light depending on the performance of your computer, which has a clean effect. This option requires enabling screen mirroring, and for this, the Nanolef app requires screen and system audio recording capabilities.
While the Nanolef Desktop app is slow and somewhat dull in itself, the screen mirroring feature that actually displays colors on the pegboard desk dock works well without any delay. The screen mirroring option matches the color of the main window that you have active, so it is best for full screen games and entertainment. It is similar to light strips that change the color depending on a display, but it is more versatile. Because the lights are not designed to illuminate the back of the display, the pegboard desk works for a dock setup where your desk is not in front of a wall.
An orchestrator section of the app changes light depending on the audio of the app selected like Apple Music, and a visual feature plays sound and light for an immersive experience. There are scenes such as aquarium, beach, sea, chimney and rain. The orchestrator and view are available only with an option without a nanoleph desktop membership.
The cost of the Nanoleaf Desktop app is $ 1.99 per month or $ 19.99 per year. It does not require scenes to play, change colors or use screen mirroring, but it is necessary for complete orchestrator and scene access. When the screen mirroring is not turned on, there are user-made views to choose, and these views provide a click access for tons of color and speed options. There is a lot to access without membership.
The pegboard desk dock is two -sided, so light can be seen from both sides. On one side is the “pegboard” of the name, while the other is a plain, immersed LED. There are four hooks that may be attached to the pegboard side of the dock, and the size is ideal for game controller or other similar objects.
There are two USB-C ports behind the Pegboard Desk Dock, another USB-C port on the side, and a USB-A port on the opposite side, so there may be many peripheral connected. In addition to the built -in cable, there is a cable extendor if additional length is required to reach Mac. The light part of the dock comes out of the base, making it easier to swap designs.
Each light is 50 lumen, and the dock side is not very bright when next to the display, but on the other hand it can be a bit difficult to see if the color is not somewhat muted. Given that they are not super bright, they use the best for ambient lighting in a slow room.
Pegboard desk can be dock Bought from Nanoleaf website For $ 60, two-packs are available for $ 100.
