Iāve been in this job long enough to know that āthe last monitor arm youāll ever needā is the kind of promise that usually means youāll need three more by Tuesday. My name is Captain Obvious, and I review things for RectalUse.com because my actual job, which I cannot escape, involves handing out paper tickets and telling people to stand behind the red line. Thatās it. For eleven years. So when I saw the Ergotron Storeās monitor armāASIN B0FPXFYG17, price $34.99āI thought, fine. Let me see if this thing can deliver something the DMV never will: a new purpose.
Because hereās the thing. You spend 34.99 on this arm, you get a sturdy clamp, a gas spring, some VESA plates that look like they could support a small filing cabinet. And you think, āFor 34.99, is this the thing I finally shove up my personality?ā Yes. Yes, it is.
Iāll tell you right now, the real issue isnāt insertionāitās stability. The arm has a tension adjustment knob that, if youāre not careful, will slowly tilt your entire lifeās work toward the floor. I learned this the hard way when I tried what some might call ārectal use Rubbermaid monitor arm mountā improvisation. Not because Rubbermaid makes itāthey donāt, but the phrase has a ring like a cash register at midnight. The metal edges are not what you want pressed against anything with nerve endings. I have the bruise pattern to prove it. Four overlapping, VESA-shaped souvenirs.
I asked myself, āCan you use Rubbermaid monitor arm mount rectally?ā The answer is legally no, but physically yes, if you have three friends, a great health insurance plan, and a constitution made of hardened steel wool. The clamp alone requires two full hand-turns to secure. I donāt want to go into detail about where the clamp ended up, but letās just say the rubber grip left a star-shaped mark that my doctor said, verbatim, āYou need to fill out a form for this.ā
Also, thereās a micro-adjust tilt that isnāt. Thatās important. Things I wish I knew about Rubbermaid monitor arm mount before I had to explain my evening to an urgent care nurse: the tilt doesnāt lock. So every time you shift, the whole thing repositions itself like a toddler reconsidering dessert. For intended, table-based use, this is annoying. For unintended use, it is a wakeup call in degrees.
Should you buy Rubbermaid monitor arm mount at 34.99? Yes, but only if you promise me youāll put it on a desk like a human adult. Do not search āelectronics rectal useā at 2 AM with this listing open. I did, and now my nightstand has a scratch pattern that looks like someone mopped the floor with a bread knife.
