Working from home can be as simple as sitting on the couch and opening your laptop, but that isn't necessarily conducive to getting work done on a consistent basis. You really need some sort of home office setup for the optimal balance between comfort and productivity. I've been testing chairs, headphones, and headsets for over 10 years, and I'm not the only expert at working from home at PCMag. My colleagues and I have reviewed hundreds of other devices, including keyboards, mice, and Wi-Fi routers, and this list covers all of those categories and more. Although more people than ever are working remotely, not everyone has the same requirements. Generally, though, you need to be able to focus for long periods without developing any aches or pains. You must also stay connected to the necessary resources and equipment for your job. Here are the products we recommend.
