3. Wireless keyboard and mouse for all your gadgets 

Keyboards that support easy switching between different devices make it quicker to switch between your work computer, gaming computer or tablet. You don’t have to crawl under the desktop to move USB cables and without cables you get a nicer work environment. A tip is to choose a model that works with both Windows and Mac if you often use both. Add a mouse that also has quick switch and you’ll get an even smoother experience.

4. Great-sounding speakers for your computer and mobile phone

With a great pair of speakers for your computer, you’ll get a much richer music experience. One tip is to choose a model that works with your mobile phone or tablet so that you can quickly switch between several devices. If you don’t have space for speakers, a pair of headphones may be a better choice.

5. Sit more comfortably with a gaming chair

With a proper office or gaming chair, you’ll be sitting more comfortably at your desk. When the chair is adapted for many hours of sitting down, it’s easier to get a good back posture. This relieves tension on the back and avoids problems with the shoulders and neck. A good chair has proper support for both the groin and neck, and has stable armrests that support the arms. Add a height-adjustable table so you can stand up to work if required.

6. Voice control with smart screen 

A smart screen is a stylish and practical thing to have on your desk. You can view photos from your mobile phone, voice control smart home gadgets and see the weather. Or why not watch videos, set timers for cooking and see what comes next in the calendar. Smart screens are an excellent complement whether you want it kept on the desk, in the kitchen, on the TV bench or on the bedside table. 

Two popular smart screens are Google Nest Hub and Lenovo Smart Display.

7. USB hub for all your gadgets and accessories

If you have a modern laptop, you know how few ports they have for various accessories. Standard USB ports, Ethernet ports for network cables and memory card readers are often missing. With a good USB hub, you’ll get all the ports you need, whether you work from home or on the go. Just make sure you choose a model that meets your needs and has the right connection for your computer. If you need to use multiple USB gadgets, for multiple computers, you may need a USB switch instead.

8. Work smarter with a height-adjustable table

With a height-adjustable table, it’s easier to find the perfect working position. You’ll get a better posture and reduce the strain on your back and shoulders. If you haven’t tried to work standing up, it’s about time, and it doesn’t have to cost a fortune. You can choose between electric height-adjustable desks or manual ones, if you want to save some money.
