Useful accessories for your work computer

By

Are we missing some accessories? Our work computer is the tool we use the most. Making sure we have all the computing power we need is essential to business performance. The same can be said about computer accessories. The natural speed of technology advancements mean we may soon find that what was acceptable just a year ago has been outpaced by recent developments. Sometimes we may find an accessory has been developed that fills a need we didn’t even know we had.

Here are some great choices in useful computer accessories that will make our work life that much easier.

Are we using the right webcam? Perhaps the one that came with our laptop is fine, but is it 1080P? Work life has changed and having a camera that can offer a high quality video and crystal clear audio is a necessity. Of course if we haven’t already, we should outfit every monitor with a webcam so that every computer station is a quality workstation.

Lighting for webcams is very important. We don’t always have the right light to let us look our best and this can detract from our video effect. This webcam not only has 1080P and HD, but also comes equipped with a ring light and microphone. No need to buy extra gadgets when they all come packaged together. A great auto-focus feature and a clear microphone will help our web conferences and videos really take off.

Are we using the right keyboard for the task? Without proper wrist protection we are going to slow down and even become injured from typing overuse. This keyboard comes with a built in wrist rest to provide ergonomic support. Not only that, but this is wireless and offers 33 feet of reliable connection. So we can place this keyboard where we need it and reduce wrist wear. The single AA battery will last a long time with the automatic sleep mode feature.

Video presentations need support and what better way to maximize our computer use than this wifi and bluetooth video projector. This will also connect to our smartphone, so it can provide that just right effect wherever we travel. Not only are we going to see great video, but it also has built in stereo speakers. Presentations on the go have never been better or easier.

Cables are our lifeline to so many devices. The last thing we need is some slow or malfunctioning cable to bring our productivity down. It is time to replace our cables with these USB C braided options. These come in 6.6 foot lengths so they will reach, but not clutter up our space. The powerful 100W output will make charging speeds super fast.
