used various zowie mice for like 8 years but after my scroll wheel started failing on my S2-C after 6 months i bought a fnatic bolt and its the best mouse ive ever used. great shape, wireless, low latency, light weight (69g), great battery life.
also got an artisan hien mousepad a year ago and it does live up to the hype, great build quality
last november i got a havit KB487L for 30% off. its fine. looks clean and has an interesting layout. definitely nothing special.

Using g pro wireless ultralight for a year or so now. Highly recommend if you like the shape and have the money.
Also using vaxee PA, probably the best mousepad i ever used. Have heard rly good things about artisan pads as well.

used bloody j95 but I used it up and I switched to Steelseries rival 5, very glad I switched, it's comfortable, very low latency, perfect weight (atleast for me), and has a few extra buttons that are very useful for a person like me who likes to bind a lot of stuff onto the mouse buttons.
as for the mousepad i used a esperanza EGP102G Grunge and i would recommend it for someone thats looking for a cheap mousepad but i switched over to kruger&matz warrior mousepad and (although its used up a bit) I would definitely recommend it (its a bit more expensive than the esperanza one).

Wooting 60HE
Razer viper 8k/DeathadderV3 4k
Artisen Zero/Hien mid (but cat has used it as a scratching mat a couple of times so might get Puretrak or LGG Saturn Pro)
Some 80eu IEMS that works decently
Shure MV7
:)

bought a g502 around the time it released and it has been the only mouse ive bothered to buy even when they gave out on me a couple times. Hero has been a wonderful upgrade since i got one, heard they were a bit heavy but feels like a sin to swap out at this point.
mousepad is two giant deskmats ive stuck together so i dont have to worry about losing space even though i only really use a 4th of it
keyboard is a custom green kbd 75 with lubed/filmed akko matcha green switches, every so often i'll swap to a tofu60 with NK sherbets for the clicky sounds

the xenics titan ge air is so comfortable that it makes me regret the last years of mice i've bought/tried.
an important caveat is that its mouse feet (+ the replacements that ebay buyers tend to bundle with it) are very low quality & will likely be dented, bulged, and/or peeling off the mouse. also, if you fingertip grip by holding the back end of the mouse, you will be holding onto the holes of the honeycomb. thankfully, there are corepad skates for the mouse & the coolermaster mm720 grips and/or truegrip's mm720 grips resolve any comfort issues trivially.
i have to change my hand grip depending on what i'm doing -- fingertip when vertical aiming is equally important to horizontal, and relaxed finger/claw/palm for endurance aiming or horizontal-only aiming -- and this is the only mouse i've ever had that lets me switch between them on the fly without cramping up my ring and pinky fingers.
there are merits to going with a mouse that purely maximizes fingertip grip, like the gwolves hsk plus and pro (still reserving judgment for the m2k that i'll receive at some point before the heat death of the universe), but i believe it's difficult to maintain good performance, or maximize horizontal precision when necessary, with just fingertip. and while they "helped" me in some aim training scenarios & could be used for precision aim, they were never comfortable to play with for any period of time, especially if you're actively moving/using a keyboard + flick aim + lift up the tiny mouse frequently to readjust. if it isn't comfortable for your pinky and ring to be tightly pressing together, if your pinky needs relative elevation to your ring finger, and/or if you're not used to a "1-3-1" grip to circumvent the aforementioned ergonomic problem, stay far away from small box mice.
to note, the gwolves hsk pro 4k does come with a variety of grips, including these dot-shaped grips meant to be stacked on top of one another to serve as a makeshift pinky rest & alleviate some of the ring-pinky strain, but the adhesive sucks & by the time you've adjusted them to figure out something that "works", it'll likely be peeling off already. i never really felt confident using my pinky as an anchor point on the makeshift rest either, due to its give/flexibility vs the firm side of the mouse.
also the wooting 60he is the current GOAT of gaming keyboards.

monitor: LG 34GP950G-B (i play almost all fps games in 16:9 stretched to 21:9 and i do NOT recommend it)

Seconding joshuawn to say that getting a mouse with a ring finger rest is a huge game changer. Personally, I'm very attached to my cooler master mm720.
