I've started Google searching around for what people seem to review highly as far as specific accessories go, and I've found a lot of top 5 lists; so I figured I'd start a thread where we can list our favourites (mice, bags, stands, etc).
My laptop is arriving within the next couple of days, and I'm looking into models to get for a keyboard/mouse/laptop bag/kensington lock. But I'd like to hear others' reasons for going with the accessory configuration that they do.

Mouse - Logitech VX Nano - reliable, long-lasting mouse
Keyboard - Logitech Illuminated Keyboard - I love the large, short-travel keys
Speakers - Logitech Audiohub - a great 2.1 setup considering the $15 I paid (notice a pattern?)
Bag - Speedo Pro Performance Backpack - durable and has tons of pockets. My review: http://forum.notebookreview.com/accessories/574966-review-speedo-performance-pro-backpack.html
I also use a 750GB WD Passport HDD, but I wouldn't necessarily recommend it over anything else.
As for a lock, ehh, I wouldn't bother. Just toss your notebook in your bag and bring it in the bathroom with you. -
1. Logitech MX518 Mouse - Cheap, looks cool, my first gaming mouse
2. Alienware Orion Backpack - Fits my Asus G73 with lots of room to spare
3. Logtiech Speakers - Not sure which model but the bass makes my room rumble
4. LG 22" Monitor L226WTQ - Just awesome -
- LG VX Nano
- Belkin Messenger bag, and neoprene sleeve
- WD MyPassport 500GB portable Ext. HD
- Sennheiser CX300 Earbuds
