What is some aesthetic, cyberpunk-ish, retro Jow Forums equipment I can buy to spice up my workstation? I was thinking about getting a wireless or USB trackpad, or maybe even a trackball. Coiled USB cables, fancy keyboards, physical serial terminals, retro tech, whatever comes to mind.
You should look into maximizing performance, functionality, and longevity. A shitty wireless numale ultrathin toy doesn't fit. Go for wired everything if it stays at your desk. Wired internet and storage other local devices are many times faster, and wired peripherals have extremely low latency. And remember to leave all your machines plugged in 24/7, especially retro or other hard to find and expensive machines. You may end up paying an extra $20 or so a year in electrical bills but it's a small price to pay in exchange for saving the caps in your power supplies.
Don't forget to set a pink, blue, and purple wallpaper with gay 80s text.

I have some wireless peripherals including Apple brand stuff and they work great. They're not perfect, though, and I would like some wired stuff for a second computer I have. I don't really have brand preference and I don't care about the Jow Forums "muh gay apple" meme, I just like cool/good tech.

Would really like somthing like that but just works as a terminal for a console or ssh connection.

Your saying I can just stick this into a c3550 and im golden? Goddamn.

They're a bit pricey, but you can get a modern (USB instead of PS/2) version of the classic Model M buckling spring keyboard from Unicomp. It'll fit the whole retro office theme.

I think you need an adapter desu I'd rather just get a more modern mechanical kb at that rate, and maybe custom keycaps
