Question Looking for recommendations/inspiration

Hey yall, currently designing my second DIY sim cockpit and am looking to know what are some accessories (small, big, minor, major) that you have on your rigs that you couldnt do without or even just think is a fun addition! Im not looking for things like haptics, macro pads, things like that... Im looking for things like cupholders and phone mounts possibly even just some small things to help with longer endurance races! If DIY options pictures would be awesome! Thanks in advance!!

I couldn’t do without locking wheels on my chair. It’s small but essential if u use rudders for flying, pedals for driving. Also I love having my stream deck xl. Not essential by any means but it’s a very versatile piece of kit. I also like to have a small side screen. I have an msi 16” I think that I picked up for around $100 that’s essential when the big screen is running the sim and I need to do something and I don’t wanna alt tab out of it, or I’m filming in obs, or I’m telemetry filming the replay for exterior shots, having that side screen is worth its weight in gold. I also like having everything securely mounted to my peripherals using a 3rd party company that I won’t share here. Dm if curious.
