A 1440p 165hz monitor. I lost 100hz but the added quality (and screen space, funnily enough) was well worth it.

Bought a CTS-V2. Daily it and smile every time I drive it. 14mpg on a good day and I give no fucks. Love it and would be another if something happened to it. Life is short, enjoy it.
A laptop computer.
I honestly prefer desktop, but I'd run into some situations over the past few years where money was tight and something broke on the desktop which screwed up my entire world as I had no real fallback. So when I had a bit of breathing room, I got my first non-Chromebook laptop.
Then, like three months later, I promptly broke my foot, becoming almost bedbound for nearly 2 months because my foot would swell too much if I tried to sit at my desktop.
I still heavily prefer my desktop due to a larger monitor and because I hate the trackpad placement on laptops--but having a legit laptop helped me out a TON when I couldn't get out of bed all that much.
Try a wireless trackball or Gyro mouse if the laptop mouse is bothering you. They require less space than a normal mouse and are still better than the trackpad. A wireless mouse is also an option for extendeing the range on your desktop.
My Vortex Viper HD Spotting Scope with Ollin magnetic adapter. I go birding, and take bird videos with this combo. Super easy to digiscope with (no more fidgeting with the adapter) and the magnification on the scope is pretty powerful. Shameless plug for my Instagram @thecronicbirder
