Everything I actually run
Three pieces that changed my day more than anything else on the desk.

My everyday board, and Touch ID is the whole reason: laptop closed behind dual monitors, a fingertip unlocks the Mac, my password vaults, and website passkeys. I liked it enough to buy a second for the bag, so I get the same closed-lid logins in any coworking space.
The mouse I actually use. It pairs to my work laptop and personal machine at once and switches between them with a button, and a single battery lasts me the better part of a year.
Everything is filed by what it actually does at the desk.
The two things your hands touch all day. Worth getting right.
Look like you mean business on every call that matters.
Cut the room out for deep work and sound clean on every call.
The field gear that makes demos and travel days go smooth.
