Five accessories made the author's permanent work-from-home setup: a Baseus 245W charging station, MOFT laptop stand, Logitech MX Master 4 mouse, Alto Keys K98M keyboard and cheap NFC tags.
The $200 Baseus Nomos II NH21 solved the biggest daily pain point by charging up to six devices at once, with two retractable USB-C cables, a USB-A port and a 15W Qi2 pad.
The $24 MOFT stand, 0.1 inches thick and 2.3 ounces, improved posture by raising an 11.6- to 16-inch laptop while staying attached for travel.
Logitech's $119.99 MX Master 4 and $119.99 Alto Keys K98M rounded out the setup with ergonomic control, fast scrolling, a 96% mechanical layout and multi-device switching.
At the low end, roughly $1 NFC tags replaced a $59 Brick gadget and automated focus mode, timers and playlists, underscoring the author's view that thoughtful desk tools can materially boost comfort and productivity.
