A physical mouse jiggler. It’s less than $20 on Amazon.

I only have one because I’m always active on the other mouse. I have 2 mice but it’s because I don’t switch one mouse between the two laptops. My jobs prefers seeing the green status. I didn’t buy another because the mouse came with the laptop from the employer. If they send you a wired one, I would want to get a wireless one. I use only 1 keyboard to switch between the two laptops.

A cellphone or table holder, ideally with charging capabilities, with a cellphone or tablet to display your personal calendar that pulls in your jobs’ calendars. It’s nice to see everything in one place.

I have a makeshift shaped desk that makes it easy to turn around if a meeting happens last minute and I am on camera. I don’t use have a KVM switch.
