Ergonomic mouse
Repetitive mouse clicks can cause muscle strain and discomfort. You may be able to minimize discomfort when switching from a traditional mouse to an ergonomic mouse. The ergonomic mouse is specially designed to work with and fit the human body. Your hand can rest naturally on the mouse and help keep the wrist, elbow, and arm in a natural position, reducing the potential for developing carpal tunnel syndrome, tendonitis, and other issues. An ergonomic wireless mouse also limits the number of wires on the desktop.
Cable organizers
Our work environment can affect how we work. We can experience higher levels of stress and anxiety and limited productivity when our workspaces are cluttered. With the number of devices we keep on our desks, cables and cords can quickly become a mess and add to workday stress. Just think about problems youâve had with untangling cables for chargers, headphones, and backup devices. Cable organizers help manage the clutter and keep the workspace organized and tidy.
You can find a wide variety of these helpful desktop gadgets, including pet-proof sleeve cord covers for those working at home with a pet. Sleeve type covers not only organize cables but add a layer of protection. They also come with inexpensive clips and Velcro ties.
Power strip
A power strip is great for plugging multiple electrical devices into one outlet. Many models include an internal circuit breaker to protect connected devices in the event of a short circuit or energy overload. Consider a smart power strip for more energy efficiency. Unlike traditional strips, smart power strips power off when a device goes into sleep mode.
External hard drive
Large data files or multimedia can zap the memory space on your Mac or PC. Rather than use your computerâs precious memory space, an external hard drive can store your work product. These devices can also be great for backing up your hard drive. With their portability, you can change devices or take them on the go.
