How to choose computer peripherals
Keyboards, mice, webcams, headsets, docking stations and adapters turn a laptop or desktop into a comfortable, efficient workstation. These are the points worth checking before you buy.
Keyboards and mice
Wireless sets remove cable clutter, and Bluetooth models pair directly with laptops and tablets. A full-size keyboard with a number pad helps with spreadsheets. If you type or click all day, an ergonomic mouse or keyboard helps reduce strain.
Webcams, headsets and speakers
For video calls, a 1080p webcam and a headset with a noise-cancelling microphone make a bigger difference than the laptop’s built-in parts. USB headsets are the simplest, because they need no sound-card settings.
Docks, hubs and adapters
A USB-C dock adds ports for a monitor, network, USB devices and charging through a single cable. Check that the dock supports your laptop’s USB-C or Thunderbolt features and the monitor resolution you want.
Compatibility
Check the connector type (USB-A, USB-C, Bluetooth) and that the device works with your operating system. Many modern laptops have fewer ports, so an adapter or hub may be needed.
