Show HN: SmartDesk 5–A touchscreen-enabled standing desk for developers
Hi HN, I’m from the product team at Autonomous.
We built SmartDesk 5 with coders, hackers, and builders in mind—those who spend hours solving problems and creating. Here’s what it offers:
1. Smooth surface: The 1.2” HDF surface with rounded edges provides flawless mouse tracking and a comfortable setup for long sessions.
2. Touchscreen control: Adjust desk height directly from the surface, even with heavy setups (lifts up to 330 lbs). Save presets for sitting and standing.
3. Sturdy platform: The oval-shaped C-frame eliminates wobble, even during intense typing or multitasking.
4. Built-in power: Integrated outlets and cable management for clean workspace.
5. Functional details: Hooks for bags or headphones keep essentials within reach.
SmartDesk 5 is made to adapt to your workflow and handle everything from coding marathons to hardware-heavy projects.
We’d love to hear your thoughts, suggestions, or ideas to make it even better. Let us know what you think—thanks for checking it out!

- JojoFatsani 2y agoTouchscreen controls are not necessarily a selling point. Look at the backlash going on in the auto industry right now for example.
- james_robert 2y agoI get where you're coming from. I can see both sides - touchscreens are intuitive and modern, but I get why some people prefer the physical feel of buttons. We went with a touchscreen because it feels more future-proof, and that's what we're all about - building for the future of work.
