With the right peripheral devices to suit your needs, you can transform your computer into a modern work set-up. Here’s a quick guide on what to look out for.

When it comes to modern work set-ups, be it at home or at the office, peripheral devices such as monitors, headsets, webcams, mice and keyboards are just as important as furniture, internet access and a PC or notebook. In these two articles, you can find out what to consider when buying a notebook, docking station or monitor:

Mice and keyboards

The ergonomics of a keyboard can also be boosted with wrist rests and slanted keys. Both features help to prevent your wrist from bending too much. Keyboards also need to have the correct layout. Check out our German keyboards with number blocks here.

They capture an image of you and send it to the person you’re talking to via the web. I’ve outlined everything you need for virtual and hybrid meetings in this article:
