Just got a Macbook, my first ever and now need to convert my home office to work with a Mac. Anyone have any favorite peripherals, mouse, keyboard, docking station etc? I would like to still use my existing PC monitors

I use the opus opal camera + two lume cube lights for video conferencing.

Otherwise, I think the Apple brand accessories are pretty solid.

Mouse?
Keyboard?
Docking Station?

I wish I had space for that. I'm currently huddled near my window in our 2 bedroom trying to not hear the baby cried in the other room

Thanks everyone. Follow up question, I see Apple has a sort of track pad version of a mouse. Anyone use that and what the preference? Magic Mouse or track pad?

I like their trackpad and have used it for years, takes a minute to get used to though.

Less stress on the wrist.

I’m gonna be traveling a lot so I think mouse is the way to go for me then
