I have a Sihoo chair and its brilliant for the price. Its not perfect sometimes the screws losen and need tightening again but otherwise feels like a quality chair for the price. I wouldn’t really call it cheap tho but its not a Herman Miller either but anything that isn’t a gaming chair is infinitely better. The sihoo chairs come in a few colours mine is orange and actually looks quite nice visually but please for the love of all things in the universe don’t get any kind of gamer chair
Keyboard - can’t go wrong with keychron tbh
Mouse - i quite like the logitech mx master myself but it ain’t cheap, entirely personal preference
Monitor - I’m really liking my gigabyte monitor with built in KVM which is super useful for switching between work laptop and desktop (for playing games during work hours) but in the case of your laptop it means the usb in the monitor is passed through to the usbc cable to the laptop and it also does charging (not very high wattage) so its like a usbc dock. Very very useful for just plug and go with my work laptop
Razer has some good mice, but their software, which has to be running for the mice to not reset to factory default, is the worst, literally the worst software I have ever used. It crashes twice a day at least, without warning. I had to create a shortcut and put it in my taskbar which ended the 14 processes that needed to be ended to fully restart the software, otherwise you couldn’t force quit it because the 14 identical looking processes would restart each other as you go down the list, and the software would not work until you ended them all and restarted. Keyboards also rely on the software so anything besides lighting is out of the question because if you change anything else your keyboard will constantly do shit you don’t expect because it reverts to default.
Logitech’s software isn’t fantastic but guess what? You can load the custom sensitivity and lighting profile to the mouse and turn the fucking software off and never have to worry about it ever.
I had a Corsair mouse that I loved but the quality control was dog shit. I returned those mice literally 6 times because the buttons would stop working. One time after returning another broken one, I went straight back to the store because there was a fucking screw rattling around on the inside.
Only issue with Logitech is that they don’t make fucking replacement rubber pads, so when they wear through, you gotta get some completely different grip tape solution
There’s a reason the Logitech mice sell so well. My personal annoyance with the g502 is how quickly the rubber wears down on it and becomes gooey and unpleasant.
But the true winner of mice will always be the rat mmo 7. Oh madcatz and ur goofy mice. I did love that stupid thing tho
Yeah I got a g502 not that long ago and the rubber is already stripping off. That’s why the only thing I get protection plans on are mice. so it’ll be free to replace and 20 bucks if I want to plan to replace it again

Thanks for the recommendations, you are very helpful! I’ll look at the colour options for the chair
