[deleted] I have made good experiences with the Mokibo Fusion when I was where you are now. It's a bit on the pricier side but might be everything you want (if you're okay with Bluetooth).
The problem is: The Android 14 we have is not at all optimized for a workflow with mouse or touchpad, so I ended up touching the screen rather than doing gestures. You might find a launcher that works well, but I'll be just waiting for a proper desktop mode on the Pixel 8 or later to make good use of this...
