Best Ergonomic Office Equipment in 2020: Best Chair, Keyboard, Mouse Android Central 2020

Working from home can be a daunting thing if you've never done it before, but truth be told, it doesn't have to be. In fact, as someone that's been working from home for a few years, it's pretty darn great. However, that does come with a big caveat - you need the right gear. Specifically, you need to invest in an ergonomic chair, keyboard, and mouse. That might seem like overkill, but trying to work from a dining room chair and using the cheapest mouse from Walmart will put endless strain on your body. To prevent that from happening, here's the gear we recommend picking up.

Chairs

Staff Pick

When it comes to the best overall ergonomic office chair, the Smugdesk Ergonomic Mesh Chair is hard to argue with. There's a lot on offer here, so let's dive right in. Right off the bat, Smugdesk offers full lumbar support to make sure you're comfy at all times. The waist pillow can significantly reduce spine fatigue, the armrests are adjustable, and you can recline the chair up to 117-degrees. Backing up your purchase is Smugdesk's professional customer service team.

When talking about ergonomic office chairs, we have to mention Herman Miller. Herman Miller makes the very best chairs on the market, with the Aeron Task Chair being especially awesome. Not only does the chair have a clean and modern design, but it's also outrageously comfortable. You can place it in one of three reclining positions, the angle of the seat is adjustable, and you have full control of the armrests. If you can afford it, Herman Miller won't let you down.

Keyboards

Staff Pick

Logitech has made a name for itself in the computer accessory world, and when it comes to ergonomic keyboards, there's no ignoring the Logitech Ergo K860. The K860 has a distinct split design, which Logitech says allows for better typing posture and overall strain on your wrists and forearms. The pillowed wrist rest is another nice touch, which gives 54% extra wrist support. Each key has a scooped design to match your fingertips, and your family will appreciate their quietness.

Mice

Staff Pick

Without a doubt, the MX Master 3 is one of the very best mice you can buy. Period. Logitech has refined its MX Master mouse over three generations, and this latest version is the best it's ever been. The MX Master 3 is extremely comfortable to use, offering a sculpted design that your hand won't be able to get enough of. Magspeed scrolling allows you to fly through websites, there are endless customization tweaks to make, and it can be paired with multiple devices.

Don't underestimate the importance of ergonomics

Even if working from home is just a temporary thing for you, we still think it's worth investing in some ergonomic gear. You don't necessarily have to buy a new chair, keyboard, and mouse this very second, but it's worth considering if you want to get the most out of your situation.

When it comes to chairs, the Smugdesk Ergonomic Mesh Chair is a rock-solid purchase. It has fantastic lumbar support, a multifunction headrest, high-quality mesh, and is relatively affordable considering everything it has to offer.

Logitech comes out on top for both keyboards and mice, with the Logitech Ergo K860 being the best overall keyboard for your home office. The split design is a staple for ergonomic keyboards, as it offers a more natural and pain-free typing experience once you get the hang of it. Add that together with the generous palm rest and quiet keys, and it does a great job at justifying its price.

And, of course, there's the Logitech MX Master 3 as the mouse camp. This is a staple piece of gear for a lot of people that work from home, and there's a good reason for that. The MX Master 3 feels great in the hand, is incredibly precise, and has tons of ways for you to customize it to ensure your workflow is as smooth as can be.
