I use a Remarkable eInk tablet (first generation) and it's changed my life.
Pilot G-2, mostly in 0.7 mm and in a variety of colors
My primary work computer is an iMac.
Ergonomic Wired Vertical Mouse
Mouse: Anker Vertical Wired Mouse because it's ergonomic, gives me even more buttons, and can be found again when one of the cats decides to knock things off my desk
Foot pedal: Ikkegol Single Pedal which I mostly use for pausing and unpausing media
Communication
If there's one piece of software I use more than any other, it's probably Signal.
I do a lot of my writing in Obsidian, maybe with a little Markdown if I'm working on something where formatting matters.
Most of the sites I manage / publish to are built in WordPress.
Productivity
10-key: Ducky Pocket numpad that's both awesome for data entry and doubles as a calculator
If I need to collaborate, write, or edit with someone else, I'll usually bring my text into Google Docs.
Notes
From there, I'll pop it into an Obsidian note.
Security
I also use Cryptpad for collaboration on projects where security is a concern.
Design
For design work, especially ebook and zine layout, I use Adobe Creative Suite.
Media
My current RSS reader is Feedly, but it's not a perfect replacement.
Other
I also make tons of spreadsheets, mostly in Airtable.
