    Mouse, keyboard, external drives, and maybe a mic.

    Budget depends on what you get, a mechanical keyboard will cost more than a membrane and a namebrand gamer one will cost even more. It is not necessary however.

    I like mice with extra buttons and cannot imagine using one with only 2 extra. The last time I checked the current fad for mice is lightweight and excessively high DPI options, neither of which I would pay attention to or consider. In general most mice seem to develop some issue after a while but I would avoid logitech at all costs, never heard anything good about them online or offline. Razer supposedly had a massive quality drop after 2014 and still has subpar software. The Evga mouse I had developed an issue with disconnecting that apparently everyone gets at some point.

    https://www.rtings.com/mouse/tools/3d-model-shape-compare/3d/razer-naga-x is good for comparing shapes if you already own a mouse that’s listed.

    There are smaller keyboards than the standard if you are concerned about desk space. Most will get rid of the numpad and the keys in the arrow key block, some will let you access those with the fn key. I don’t have a mechanical but everyone says they’re better while costing more.

    I have never used a headset, I just used a mic. Games like Squad and Dayz pretty much need a mic, talking is a focal point of those games. I don’t think it’s really necessary in anything else and I think most people use discord anyways. The first mic I used was ~$15 from amazon. No one ever told me it sounded excessively bad or was horrible to listen to.
