Peripherals

The monitors are whatever, the speakers are whatever (all totally useable). Headphones are pretty good with a decent battery -- no noise cancelling, but the earpads are oversized enough and my home is fairly quiet, so it's unnecessary.

The keyboard is very nice -- a TKL mechanical keyboard; with the lights off, it's just a minimalist gradient with no markings on the tops of the keys. It uses linear switches and they seem sufficient. The mouse is nice because it's lightweight and can charge wirelessly. The keyboard and headphones are connected wirelessly with 2.4ghz so there is no noticeable lag at all and the wireless mouse's charging dongle is a 2.4ghz receiver.

A week in and the wireless stuff is still mostly charged. Apparently it takes about 3 hours to fully charge the batteries for everything, so I'm not too worried; and, this being 2026, everything takes USB-C so it's fairly trivial to charge things. The two minor things I can complain about: there's no obvious way to check the battery status of the gamepad and headphones; however, the gamepad can handle a day of gaming fine and I have two, so it's no big deal.
