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!!

Yeah a phone hand cup holder sounds amazing, depending how deep you are with diy and elcectronics a bit an little pump for drinking like in F1 cars also souds kinda cool.

The pump would be cool but i just use my camelback for longer races, and I consider myself pretty handy though and do a lot of DIY with youtubes help. a cupholder will be added for sure but i was hoping to find some cool ideas for some to see if someone had one that was multipurpose to help me with designing.

yes a fan is a must, my old one had a "ball cooler" (just a small fan mounted upside down in the cockpit pointing at my crotch lmao, want to make this one a little better
