One big screen. Proper full-sized good quality keyboard. Fairly chunky wireless mouse. If you spend most of your time working at a desk, why are you hobbling yourself with inferior kit which exists to be portable, not productive? Yes, I'm relatively old... Get off of my lawn!

Do you have any chunky mouse suggestions? (wireless or not). I'm struggling to find a larger size mouse that: - doesn't have a million buttons (e.g. gaming) - lasts more than a year

  I find gaming mice seem to be built better than others. Currently using a SteelSeries Sensei Laser RAW which is ambidextrous and has minimal buttons and lighting. It’s also on the larger side if that’s what you’re looking for. Also add. 3M precise mouse pad (I wish their designs weren’t so ugly though)

    I had a SteelSeries mouse, and it was nice, but definitely didn't last more than a year. But then, no mouse I've used in the last 15 years (at least) has lasted much more than a year.

    That actually looks really good, but I can't seem to find it in stock anywhere. Do you know if there's a succesor or am I just not looking in the right place?

      It appears to be in stock on Amazon, and it also recommends a newer version you could look at.

  Find a mouse that fits your hand and that you like, and then buy several of them. Even if they last more than a year for other people, you could be unlucky. Mice are not expensive enough to worry about it, especially if you're leaving it in the same place all the time.

  I've found the handshoe mouse ridiculously comfortable. Helped me recover from rsi. And very solid, and simple.

  Been using a Logitech M705 for a good few years now and I'm pretty happy with it - has a couple of unnecessary buttons, but on the other hand, not only has it lasted more than a year, but it typically lasts at least a couple of years on a set of batteries. They've rebranded it as the Marathon Mouse for a reason...

    Nice, this one looks promising. I am a bit worried that it looks really similar to the Logitech M500 -- which I've had and only lasted a few months. But if you say you're already past the year mark, that sounds good.

  The Logitech M500 Corded Mouse is a cheap but solid and basic mouse for those who aren't interested in a gaming mouse.

    I've actually had this one, but didn't even last a year. Has yours been better?

  Logitech MX Ergo. It's a trackball. * Doesn't need to move on your desk. * Wireless, so if you want to have it away from your pc (standing desk for instance) that's no problem * trackball, and two angle to position it: no more pain in my arm
