Hello! Tell us a bit about yourself
I’m Richie Hug — a Swiss‑Mexican product‑and‑design nerd from Zurich, Switzerland.
Outside of work, I’m into gaming (mostly horror or AAA games), and I love to design and build stuff.
I’ve built PCs and keyboards over the last decade, and most recently, I’ve revamped my PC setup and gaming/working desk to match what you see in this tour.
Take us through your setup
