Reddit mentions of Logitech MX Anywhere 2S Wireless Mouse – Use On Any Surface, Hyper-Fast Scrolling, Rechargeable, Control Up to 3 Apple Mac and Windows Computers and Laptops (Bluetooth or USB), Graphite

Does $500 include the monitor, keyboard and mouse?


For mounting your MacBook Pro properly to desk, you have 3 real options depending on if you want to be able to work from it (unlikely) or just have it closed in clamshell mode and use an external keyboard and mouse to mount vertically to save desk space.
Option 1: Rain Design mStand (comes in Silver and Space Grey) $40. I use this personally when I have my MBP set up next to my 5K iMac and 27" Thunderbolt Display.

Option 2: Twelve South BookArc (comes in Silver and Space Grey) $50 - for use in clamshell mode only
https://www.amazon.com/Twelve-South-Space-Saving-Vertical-notebooks/dp/B016EWLDTE?th=1
Option 3: General vertical laptop stand (I have it in Silver, unsure how well their space grey matches) - $20. Cheap, minimalist, but does the job. Clamshell mode only.

Next is an external keyboard, I'm going to stick with an Apple aesthetic for this recommendation and not any gamery mechanical ones. Depending on if you want a numeric keypad or not, there's either Apple's Magic Keyboard 2 or a Satechi wireless one with a numeric keypad. I don't think Apple's Magic Keyboard 2 with Numeric Keypad is worth an extra $70 over the Satechi.
Option 1: Satechi Wireless Keyboard with Numeric Keypad (comes in all colours) $80.
https://www.amazon.com/Satechi-Aluminum-Bluetooth-Keyboard-3-Device/dp/B07F2SF4RH
Option 2: Apple Magic Keyboard 2 (without numeric keypad - White only) $99.

For mice, I'd avoid Apple's Magic Mouse like the plague because words can not describe how bad it is to use.
I'd recommend mouse that you can also use with just your MBP while on the go, not heavy, big mice that only really belong on the desktop at home. No mouse really stands out to me apart from this one, honestly.
Logitech MX Anywhere 2s (unfortunately they stopped making them in white) $50. Can connect via bluetooth so no dongles.
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B071VK5KXN


For monitors, at this price range you won't have a neat 1 cable display and power solution like you'd get from a 23.7" 4K LG UltraFine display for example or HDR10, or Retina. 1440p 27" displays are a bit out of this price range, but I'd personally sacrifice pixel density and get a 1080p display anyways so I still have a 27" display.
Option 1: HP 27es 1080p 27" bezel-less IPS display (Silver) $219.
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01N9H3BI4
Option 2: ASUS VZ239H-W 1080p 23" bezel-less IPS display (Silver) $139.
https://www.amazon.com/ASUS-VZ239H-W-1080p-Monitor-White/dp/B07489Q7TY/


Then you need cables to connect your MBP to the display (the keyboards and mice are bluetooth). If you only have 2 TB3 ports, you may want to buy a multiport adaptor or else you will have 0 free ports with my solution (as you need the other port for power).
USB-C to HDMI cable (Black) $12.6. I have it to connect my MBP to my 4K TV and it works flawlessly.
https://www.amazon.com/CableCreation-Thunderbolt-Compatible-MacBook-Chromebook/dp/B06XDMKQKJ/
If you need a multiport adaptor, I'd recommend this Satechi one (comes in all colours) - $60
https://www.amazon.com/Satechi-Aluminum-Multi-Port-Adapter-Charging/dp/B01J4BO0X8


Total price as configured (BookArc + Satechi Wireless Keyboard with Numeric Keypad + MX Anywhere 2s + HP 27es + USB-C to HDMI cable) = $412. If you need a mulitport adaptor and don't have one already, it'll be $472.

You're probably looking at the regular MX mouse. That's PC only.

The MX Anywhere is a travel mouse: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B071VK5KXN

I have one and works great for me personally.

If you want less clutter and you want a keyboard/trackpad combo instead, I'd look at this. This is in my bag at all times: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01MTVC775

Well, the shortest I could find with two buttons on the side, that was Bluetooth (and rechargeable) was the Logitech MX Anywhere at 1.35":

https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B071VK5KXN/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o01_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

Would have been nice to have something like the following:

https://www.amazon.com/Bluetooth-FENIFOX-Rechargeable-Ultra-Thin-Compatible/dp/B06ZZJ6C3P/ref=sr_1_6?keywords=slim+bluetooth+mouse&qid=1555511585&s=electronics&sr=1-6

Sure. How cheap is cheap? This is one of the best out there, its $50, I own it and its very good.

Logitech MX Anywhere

If that's too steep for you, I'd just search on Amazon/Best Buy/whatever for bluetooth mouse and set your max price. There's a million choices out there!

Cheers

Also worth consideration for a productivity mouse. MX Anywhere 2S for $56. Not the lowest it's ever been but a good price for an awesome productivity mouse.

Your mouse, from what you described, sounds like a wireless mouse with a USB wireless receiver, and typically it's only going to stay that way unless you knew you were buying a BT mouse


I always recommend the current Logitech MX line as their mice are great and has BT. Link to Amazon for the Anywhere MX 2S

Here are 3 options for you

High End Productivity

Gaming

Compact Travel

Overkill. :P I use a GPD XD+ with a bluetooth mouse and keyboard.

(For when I need them anyways, the XD+ comes with a gamepad built in that'll work for most games.)

I got this stand for my 10.5 and 2018 12.9 Pro's and really like it -

The Logitech MX Anywhere 25 is a good Bluetooth mouse -

I've used the Logitech MX Anywhere mouse. It's a great small mouse that has stayed connected for me.

It's also easy to travel with because it's small.
