What sizes are available for the LTT Northern Lights desk pad?

The desk pad comes in three sizes: Small (36x12 inches), Medium (36x18 inches), and Large (48x36 inches). The large is great for full keyboard plus mouse setup, while small fits compact workspaces.

Are the LTT Magnetic Cable Arches compatible with glass desks?

They work best on metal surfaces, but we've found they also stick to some painted metal desks. For glass desks, they won't hold securely due to the non-magnetic surface. We recommend mounting them on metal filing cabinets or the underside of steel desks.

What refills does the LTT Scribedriver Bolt-Action Pen accept?

It takes standard Parker-style ballpoint refills, which are widely available. You can also use gel or hybrid refills that fit the same format for smoother writing.

The Best LTT Desk Accessories for Your Setup

Level up your workspace with LTT's curated desk accessories - from the iconic Northern Lights desk pad to the precision screwdriver. Tech that doesn't suck, built for daily wins.

By Linus Tech Tips Merch Team

LTT Water Bottle: Stay Hydrated in Style

You know that mid-stream vibe when your throat goes dry and you reach for a lukewarm plastic bottle from three streams ago? Not on our watch. The LTT Water Bottle is a 32oz stainless steel vacuum insulated beast that keeps your drink cold for up to 24 hours or hot for 12. We've tested it through marathon coding sessions and WAN Show recordings - it doesn't sweat, doesn't dent easily, and the wide mouth fits ice cubes without a fight.

The powder-coated finish gives you a grip that won't slip even when your hands are greasy from installing new hardware. And the carabiner cap? Attach it to your backpack strap and you're set for LAN parties, outdoor shoots, or just a trip to the coffee shop. It's hydration with a side of practicality - exactly the kind of tech that doesn't suck.

LTT Desk Pad: Protect Your Surface with Northern Lights

If your desk is a battlefield of coffee rings, cable scrapes, and the occasional soldering iron mark, the Northern Lights desk pad is your shield. It's a thick, stitched-edge cloth pad with a non-slip rubber base that stays put even when you're frantically clicking through a render. The size options range from 36x12 inches for cramped setups to 48x36 for those who need full map-of-the-world coverage.

The print is vibrant and fade-resistant - we've had ours under direct sunlight for months and the gradient still looks like a real aurora. Laser mouse sensors track flawlessly across the surface, and if you spill your soda, a quick wipe with a damp cloth brings it back. It's the desk pad that makes you want to show off your workspace on stream. Lenny approves.

LTT Magnetic Cable Arches: Tame the Cable Chaos

Cable management is the bane of every tech enthusiast. The LTT Magnetic Cable Arches solve this elegantly. These are curved plastic channels with powerful magnets embedded in the base. Stick them to the back edge of your desk - even metal desks with thin tops - and route your cables through the arch. They hold cables securely without pinching or crimping.

We've designed them to handle everything from thick power bricks to thin USB cables. You can daisy-chain multiple arches to create a cable highway behind your monitor. The best part? They're completely tool-free. Rearrange your setup without unscrewing anything. It's the kind of thoughtfulness that comes from the WAN Show's obsession with tidiness.

LTT Screwdriver: A Precision Tool for Daily Adjustments

You might think "why would I need a screwdriver on my desk?" But once you have the LTT Screwdriver, you'll find reasons to use it. It's a ratcheting screwdriver with a hollow handle that stores 8 bits in the shaft. The bits are magnetic and swap easily with a push-button mechanism. The knurled grip and smooth rotation make it perfect for building PCs, adjusting monitor arms, or fixing that loose hinge on your laptop stand.

The bit set includes Phillips, flathead, Torx, and hex - all common sizes for electronics. The shaft is long enough to reach recessed screws but not unwieldy. It's a tool that feels premium in hand, and it's one of those items you didn't know you needed until you have it. Tech that doesn't suck indeed.

LTT Scribedriver Bolt-Action Pen: The Pen That Clicks Right

The bolt-action pen is a gamer's best friend for jotting down notes during a raid or signing off on schematics. The LTT Scribedriver uses a bolt-action mechanism - push the bolt down to extend the refill, pull it back to retract. It's satisfying, fidget-friendly, and won't accidentally deploy in your pocket. The body is aluminum with a cerakote finish that adds grip and durability.

It takes standard Parker-style refills, so you can swap in your favorite ink. The clip is deep-carry and the entire pen has a weight that feels substantial without being heavy. If you're the kind of person who appreciates the mechanical feel of a good keyboard, this pen will be your new desk toy.

Why These Accessories Earn the Lenny Approves Seal

Each of these items went through our internal stress tests - drops, spills, daily abuse from the team. We didn't just slap our logo on random products; we designed or modified them until they met our standards. The water bottle went through six prototypes before we got the lid seal right. The desk pad's stitched edges prevent fraying even after a year of use. The cable arches use magnets strong enough to hold a light cable but not so strong they rip off your desk.

That's why we're confident saying: these are the best LTT desk accessories for your setup. They're practical, durable, and look good doing it. Whether you're a streamer, a developer, or just someone who spends way too many hours at a desk, these tools will make your life easier. And they have the Lenny approves seal, which means they've been vetted by the masters of tech that doesn't suck.
