Home office setup on a RM3,000 budget — exactly what I bought
by Danial Saari·May 22, 2026
Did this 6 months ago. Here's the breakdown, all purchased in Malaysia.
Monitor: RM650
LG 27" FHD IPS from Lazada. Not the fanciest but excellent value. If you do creative work, consider an upgrade here.
Chair: RM900
Officium or equivalent mid-range ergonomic. Don't skimp, you're sitting in this 8+ hours a day.
Keyboard + mouse: RM250
Logitech MK470 combo. Wireless, quiet, reliable.
Webcam: RM280
Logitech C920. Significant upgrade over built-in laptop camera for calls.
Desk lamp: RM120
BenQ screen bar. Makes video calls look much better and reduces eye strain.
Cable management + misc: RM200
Total: RM2,400. Remaining RM600 buffer.
Would I change anything? I'd upgrade the chair next time, the RM900 option is adequate but not excellent.
