If gaming is serious for you, the G Pro X Superlight 2 is the best mouse you can have. 60g is almost imperceptible in hand, the HERO 2 sensor is the most precise on the market, and LIGHTSPEED has less latency than any cable. The pros' mouse, now more accessible.

If you want the best work mouse with no budget limit, this is it. The MagSpeed wheel is a unique experience: silent and capable of scrolling thousands of lines in a second. The 7 programmable buttons transform your workflow.

For a budget gaming setup, the G203 is the most sensible option. At €30 you get Logitech's HERO sensor, which is genuinely good, with 6 programmable buttons and a light 85g weight. Nothing beats it at this price.

If you work more than 6 hours a day sitting down, the Aeron is the best investment you can make for your back. The price pays off in 2–3 years in saved physiotherapy. The certified refurbished version has the same 12-year warranty.

If you don't want to spend more than €400 but demand real quality, the SIDIZ T50 is your chair. 4D armrests, adjustable lumbar support and quality mesh. The sweet spot between price and ergonomics.

If you game and work at the same setup, the Secretlab Titan Evo is the chair that covers both worlds best. More ergonomic than cheap gaming chairs, more gaming than an office chair. The magnetic lumbar support is the best system in its category.

If your budget doesn't reach €300 and you want a decent chair, the Sihoo M57 is the best option on the market at its price. It doesn't compete with Herman Miller or SIDIZ, but offers adjustable lumbar and 3D armrests you won't find in other chairs at this range.

It's a step up from the Logitech Desk Mat in almost every way — bigger, thicker (3mm padded rubber vs 2mm), and backed by a huge review history that inspires real confidence — for about €20 more. If your desk is wide enough to make use of the 93cm, it's hard to beat on value in this category.

If you're after that "premium" minimalist desk look — vegan leather, visible stitching, neutral tones — the Satechi is the pick. It's smaller than the Logitech or the Corsair, and unlike fabric mats, it shrugs off coffee spills instead of soaking them up. The price is higher per square inch — you're paying for the look and finish, not just the function.

A large desk mat transforms the look of any setup and protects the surface. The Logitech Desk Mat has stitched edges that prevent fraying, a rubber base that keeps it firmly in place, and the perfect size to cover both keyboard and mouse. Worth every penny.

It's Elgato's standard version and the one most streamers end up buying: 10,224 reviews and a 4.8/5 rating back it up as a safe purchase. Compared to the Mini, the 15 keys give real room to organize scenes into folders, editing shortcuts and audio controls without constantly reassigning buttons. If you're torn between the Mini and the MK.2 and your budget allows it, the MK.2 is the one that won't feel cramped down the line.

If you stream or have a content production setup, the Stream Deck Mini completely changes your workflow. 6 keys may seem few, but they cover the most-used commands: scene switching, mute, music, live notification and much more. Elgato's smallest and most affordable version.

This doesn't compete with the Elgato Key Light — they light up different things. The Key Light lights you for video calls; the ScreenBar Halo lights your desk and reduces contrast with the screen so your eyes tire less over long sessions. If you spend many hours in front of a monitor and notice eye strain, this shows up more than almost any other desk upgrade. The price is steep, but the automatic brightness adjustment via presence and ambient-light sensors makes it fade into the background.

If you have frequent video calls or record content, this light makes a huge difference in how you look on camera. The adjustable temperature from warm to cool adapts to any time of day. Totally worth the price.

If you work from home with background noise (family, neighbors, traffic), the Sony WH-1000XM5 is the most impactful purchase you can make for your focus. The noise cancellation is simply the best on the market. 30 hours of battery with ANC active.

For gaming, the HyperX Cloud Alpha sounds better than headsets costing twice as much, thanks to its Dual Chamber technology. The detachable microphone has good noise cancellation and sounds clear. The favorite of gamers who don't want to spend €200 on audio.

If your job involves constant meetings, the Jabra Evolve2 55 is designed specifically for that. The 6 beamforming microphones are superior to any consumer headset. Certified by Microsoft Teams and Google Meet.

The Ergotron LX has been the reference monitor arm for years for good reason: the gas-spring mechanism makes every adjustment smooth and stays exactly where you put it. Frees up desk space and lets you position the monitor exactly at eye level.

If you use your laptop on a desk without an external monitor and have neck pain, raising the screen to eye level makes a huge difference. The Nexstand K2 is the most solid and portable solution for under €35. You'll need an external keyboard and mouse.

If you have a MacBook or Thunderbolt 4 laptop and want to connect everything with one cable, the CalDigit TS4 is the ultimate dock. 18 ports, 2.5GbE Ethernet, SD 4.0 reader and 98W charging. No rival in its price range.

If you don't have Thunderbolt and want a reliable hub that covers all basic needs, the Anker 555 is the most solid option. Anker is known for durability and this model delivers. Works with any USB-C laptop.

It's the priciest and newest of the three, and that's the right way to think about it: Thunderbolt 5 is only just reaching laptops (you need a compatible machine to benefit; it still works on Thunderbolt 4, just without the bandwidth gain). If you already have, or are buying, a TB5 laptop and want the strongest connection for video and file transfer, this is the most advanced of the three. If not, the CalDigit TS4 covers the same ground for less money.

If your priority is driving several high-resolution monitors rather than stacking USB-A ports or 2.5GbE Ethernet, the OWC fills that gap: it doubles the display support of the CalDigit TS4 with fewer total ports (11 vs 18) at a slightly higher price. A solid pick if your setup revolves around the screen rather than peripherals.

The best monitor you can buy if you have a modern USB-C laptop. The included arm makes it fully plug-and-play: one cable for video + charging + data. Don't buy it for competitive gaming.

If you have a capable graphics card (RTX 4070 or better), the ASUS TUF VG27AQL5A makes a real difference. 1440p looks noticeably better than 1080p on 27", and 210Hz eliminates any tearing sensation. The perfect combo for gaming and work.

If you use many USB peripherals and want a monitor that doubles as a dock, the Dell U2724DE is unbeatable. The IPS Black panel has the deepest blacks in its class. Charges up to 90W via USB-C.

If you're looking for your first gaming monitor without spending more than €200, the AOC 24G4ZR is unbeatable. 260Hz makes a huge difference compared to 60Hz in any genre. IPS panel with good colors and correct viewing angles.

If you suffer from back pain or want to alternate between sitting and standing, the FlexiSpot Elevable 140×60 is the best value on the market. The dual motor is silent and powerful. Stable even at maximum height with full load. The desktop surface is sold separately.

If you want to alternate between sitting and standing but the FlexiSpot is out of budget, the FEZIBO covers the same ground for much less: it goes up and down, has preset height buttons and an anti-collision sensor. The trade-off is a smaller tabletop (120×60 vs 140×60) and less load margin and stability at full height. For a single-monitor setup without much weight on top, it's more than enough.

If you care about how you look on video calls and have a 4K monitor, the Brio is the only webcam that takes full advantage of that resolution. RightLight 4 AI light correction looks great even with strong backlighting. Essential for content creators and executives.

For most remote workers, this webcam is more than enough. Automatic lighting correction saves you in dark rooms. A classic that works perfectly.

If you want studio sound without taking up space, the Rode NT-USB Mini is the most recommended microphone under €120. 24-bit / 48kHz, pure cardioid and metal construction. Much more compact than the Blue Yeti without sacrificing quality.

If you record content, do podcasts or have meetings where audio quality matters, the Blue Yeti is the industry standard. 4 polar patterns make it versatile for any situation. Works without drivers on Windows and Mac.

If you want the experience of a real mechanical keyboard without spending over €100, the Keychron K2 Pro is the answer. Hot-swap lets you change switches without soldering. Perfect for programmers who type for long hours.

The best premium membrane keyboard on the market for intensive work. Not mechanical, but the typing experience is excellent and noise level is minimal. Ideal for office use and video calls.
