  • Card reader
  • Speakers/Headphones
  • Barrier - technically this is not hardware, but it does replace a piece of hardware I can’t do without and that’s a KVM
  • XBox controller :smiley:

Hmm, off the top of my head I know my peripherals are:

  • Keyboard.
  • Mouse.
  • Monitor.
  • Speakers and subwoofer.
  • Backlighting, lights up based on what appears on my screen to flood-fill the wall with lighting, 5 ‘zones’ that map to different areas of the screen (or if a program knows the API it can send whatever it wants but nothing does, it’s ancient). I actually quite enjoy it.
  • Couple of fans for my face that I rarely use connected via USB (great to control speed up and down for game interactions though, lol).
  • Some… claw device, whatever it was called, hand fits on it, has a whole set of keyboard keys, mouse mappings, etc… Let’s you control a game with one hand, it’s pretty convenient but definitely have to get used to it, it’s also ancient.
  • Camera.
  • Mic.
  • A few TB worth of external drives.
  • I know some other things I’m forgetting, my desk is covered in things front and back…
