I have a Magic Mouse in London and a medium-sized Wacom tablet in Berlin.
The only other thing I've pretty much always got with me is my Kindle.
In the Berlin studio, I also have a soldering iron, a couple of Raspberry Pis and assorted other bits and pieces for hardware hacking.
Communication
I'm perpetually on the lookout for a really good desktop email client - currently I'm using Airmail, which isn't bad.
Productivity
I try to avoid Microsoft products whenever possible because I find them bloated and not particularly nice to use, but I've not found another spreadsheet solution that works as well as Excel, so that's a necessary evil.

Media
I do use Spotify, which has many flaws but also many workarounds, and Discover Weekly is the best music recommendation algorithm I've ever come across.
Storage
Finally, I have almost everything on my laptop backed up to a giant Dropbox account.
