I haven't started actually using the six yet but they are already hanging off the walls and all the cables routed. They will be put into use once my new desktop is finished. Prior to that I used three monitors.

 

I do a lot of productivity type work and I would easily fill three monitors with projects and reference material (I also do a lot of multitasking). If I had a dollar for all the times I wished for more screen real estate, the extra three monitors would have been paid for thrice over.

Currently just the keyboard, an external HDD, and a HDD/SSD dock hooked by USB.  Do have a mouse and controller, but both of those are wireless.

Getting a wireless mech keyboard later, so that will be down to two items hooked by USB then (maybe get down to one once I get the hotswap bays for the main rig done up).

Three monitors currently hooked up as well (plan to upgrade the two side ones later).  Do have a fourth, but need another desk on the end for it.

Keyboard, Mouse, blue microphone cable(I just plug the mic in when I need it.)

Motherboard came with Wifi and bluetooth so no dongles for me.

Oh I see, thanks for the response. I bought a new monitor a couple of weeks ago and am already thinking about a 2nd one.

But I have to upgrade my pc first to completely utilize that 2nd one.

Gotta have my TP-Link 7+2 USB hub. PC is in an inconvenient spot to plug shit into the back 3.0 ports, and I don't much care for scratching up the face of it missing the ports. And the pair of 2.4A charging ports are really damned handy. Aside from that probably my headset's receiver dealio, since that's my only audio interface (though I can plug my headset into any 3.5mm jack tbf).
