My office is bad and got the office when I got promoted but the furniture has been there for awhile.

Here's my list for must haves in no particular order:

 

  1. A nice mouse. I use a Logitech Performance MX. Retails for $99 but you can get it for around $60. It's wireless, and charges via micro-USB. Great thing is, if it runs out of battery and you've forgotten to charge it, it will still work by attaching the micro-usb cable.
  2. A nice set of headphones. I have my own office, but sometimes I like to blast the music when I get in a groove. I use Audio Technica ATH-M50s. Retail for around $99.
  3. A nice keyboard. I use a Filco Ten-keyless keyboard. I find that the numberpad tends to force you to shift your keyboard to the left a bit, to make room for your mouse. It alters your sitting geometry and strains your wrists. Proper ergonomics says you need to have your hands centered directly in front of you, and if you do that with a keyboard with a numberpad, your mouse is about a foot out to the right. I am not in finance, so I don't need a numberpad 90% of the time, but I have a spare USB numberpad in case I do.
  4. An extra widescreen monitor. I have email inbox permanently loaded on a smaller monitor, and a 24" Dell Widescreen LCD. When I am working on documents, I can have two full pages showing next to each other, which is useful for doing research and writing, inputting changes, or comparing two documents.
  5. I keep an extra umbrella and over-shoes for those days where it's not raining when I've left my apt and I haven't checked the weather.

 

Optional:

 

  1. Topping TP-30 Headphone Amp (for better sound).
  2. Nespresso Pixie Espresso machine. My office only has Flavia, which is totally gross.
  3. Bonsai plant.
