Since I make music as a hobby, some of these are not gonna be incredibly useful for most:

- Behringer XR18 digital mixer, mounted under my desk

- DIY wooden stand for a small MIDI controller keyboard & an integrated XLR socket for a conference microphone (used for meetings)

- the MIDI controller is connected directly to the XR18 so I have convenient faders and knobs for mic volume, mute, master volume and other stuff connected to the mixer (piano, edrums etc)

- DIY shelf to have my displays & speakers at a comfortable height and distance

- dishpan under the desk for the occasional footbath

Not at all uncommon but still highly recommended: vertical mouse (cheap one), split keyboard (r-go), docking station (old thinkpad ultra dock)

Things I still want but never got around to:

- my desk lamp (cheap wifi bulb) is cold/warm white fadeable but I want that to happen automatically throughout the day based on sunset

- a better drawing tablet so I can ditch my whiteboard (current one sucks)
