Sanus Wireless Speaker Stands
The Sanus Wireless Speaker Stands suit the Sonos One, One SL, Play:1, and Play:3. I bought the white pair from the official Sonos store for S$160, a cheaper alternative to Sonos's own S$399 stands.
Gear bought on Shopee, from charging and networking kit to label printers and car accessories.

After a screw punctured my run-flat tyre and the pressure quietly dropped, I learned how handy a portable pump can be. The Xiaomi Mi Portable Electric Air Compressor 1S lets me top up tyres anywhere.
LEGO Architecture Singapore 21057 is the line's biggest skyline at 827 pieces, featuring landmarks such as Marina Bay Sands, Lau Pa Sat, The Fullerton, and Gardens by the Bay's Supertree Grove. I ordered it from Shopee for S$89.90.
After getting my Roborock S7, I wanted the Auto-Empty Dock, but it was perpetually out of stock. Checking daily finally paid off when Shopee restocked it on 29th December 2021, and I bought it for S$481.90.
After my MCO switches dropped off Z-Wave, I moved to Sonoff T2UK Wi-Fi switches. With most lights now on Sonoff, I added the RM 433 remote to control up to eight via 433MHz.
After buying a second set of Joy-Con, I needed a way to charge all four. The Dobe Joy-Con Charging Dock is cheap at S$12.90, with USB-C charging and light beams that glow red then green.
I bought the Akko Cherry Profile Carbon Retro Keycap Set from Shopee for S$58, the cheapest Akko set around. These double-shot PBT cherry-profile keycaps are a higher-quality upgrade over the ABS OEM caps on my Keychron Q1.
The AhaStyle MagSafe Charger Stand is a no-frills aluminium-and-silicone stand I bought from Souky's Shopee store for S$14.99. It includes built-in cable management, letting you coil the MagSafe cable neatly inside the holder.
The Verbatim 4-in-1 Wireless Charging Dock retails for S$159 and is both MFi and Qi certified, charging up to four devices at a 45W maximum. Fun fact: it began as a Korean crowdfunding project in early 2020.
The Verbatim 4-Port PD 100W Charger is a GaN unit with two USB-C and two USB-A ports, supporting PD 3.0 and QC 3.0. It retails for S$109; mine ships with an EU plug, though I'd prefer UK.
I bought the Sonos Beam during Shopee's 5/5 sale for just S$509, well below its S$699 retail. It replaces my Samsung 2.1 soundbar, which came free with a Samsung TV I've found disappointing.
If Apple's AirTag Leather Key Ring feels too pricey, OEM versions are cheap. I bought two from Shopee at S$3.32 each. The silicone holder comes in six colours, though the non-stainless metal ring will eventually rust.
The AirPods Max's anodised aluminium cups scratch easily, and once marked they're hard to unsee. So I grabbed an OEM silicone cover from Shopee for S$3.19. It fits well and comes in five colours.
Since the Apple HomePod Mini isn't officially sold in Singapore, I bought mine from a Shopee shop, monmartechnology. Priced at S$155 in black or white, a CitiBank voucher brought it down to S$145.
After dismantling my slow USB 2.0 Western Digital enclosures to reuse the bare drives at faster speeds, I needed somewhere safe to store them. To my surprise, dedicated hard-shell HDD storage cases exist for exactly this purpose.
The Smart Case bundled with the AirPods Max barely protects the headphones, so I sought a proper carrying case. I picked the cheapest well-rated OEM option on Shopee, a hard EVA shell case for S$15.19 that fits perfectly.
I dropped my Apple Pencil (2nd Generation) tip-first, snapping the tip and leaving part stuck inside. After extracting it, I needed a replacement. Apple's tips come four to a S$28 pack, more than I need.
I placed my Arlo Essential Spotlight Camera in the kitchen, joining my Nest Cams elsewhere. To mount it, I bought an OEM Gutter Mount for Arlo cameras from Shopee for S$12.09. Despite being OEM, it's well-built and great value.
I found the cheapest USB to 3-pin and 4-pin fan cables on Shopee, at S$1.56 and S$1.41. I like that they include an on/off switch, much easier than re-plugging, handy for my spare Arctic P12 fan.
