“The classic budget mouse we recommend over and over at the shop. Wired (no batteries), three buttons, ambidextrous, works on anything. If you just need a reliable mouse that won't let you down, this is it.”

“Step up from wired — proper Logitech wireless mouse with a USB receiver that just works. The 12-month battery life means you're not changing AAs every other month. Good for laptop users tired of trackpads.”

“Solid all-rounder 27" QHD monitor — 200Hz refresh, fast 1ms response, IPS panel for proper colours. We'd happily recommend this for gaming or productivity without spending silly money.”

Samsung 49" S95UF Ultrawide Curved Monitor

“If you want one screen instead of two, this is the one to look at. Ultrawide curved, sharp DQHD resolution, USB-C dock built in — great for serious productivity. Not cheap, but you're replacing two monitors with one cleaner setup.”
