Where I work, we grabbed an old(er) 50" TV and stuck it up on the wall in a common space. We gave it an old mini-itx and a wireless keyboard/trackpad. Just enough for a browser, XFCE and Sublime.

Now we gather around it and yell at the code like its a football game and toss the keyboard back and forth. Not for every project or team but recommend it way more than I thought I would at first.

We do need to find a way to nerf the keyboard.



You could give everyone a bluetooth keyboard, so that no-one "has the keyboard" and it's all collaborative all the time.


We rather enjoy the "Conch in Lord of the Flies" vibe the current setup imparts.
