[Gadgets] These great wireless gadgets will keep your home office clutter-free

[Love Pulse]

 

When it comes to working from home, keeping a clean, organized desk is as essential as having the proper tech. Fortunately, you can achieve both these things simultaneously by making an investment in wireless gear.

A good wireless mouse, keyboard and pair of headphones can drastically reduce the amount of clutter on your desk. But it can also make it easier to change locations once it’s time to get back to the office. If you’re ready to rid your workspace of those pesky cables and free up your computer’s precious USB ports, here’s some of the best wireless work-from-home tech we’ve tested.

Mice
The best overall: Logitech MX Master 3

The Logitech MX Master 3 is the best wireless mouse we’ve tested, offering the perfect mix of ergonomics, reliable performance and useful features. The mouse’s somewhat jarring design ended up being quite comfortable, thanks to an angled build that supports your hand’s natural resting position and a base to support your thumb.

The MX Master 3 made it easy for us to zip between applications, thanks to its multiple scroll wheels and programmable buttons, and always felt responsive and smooth even without a mouse pad. And if your workspace consists of multiple computers and tablets, the MX Master 3 can pair to as many as three devices at once and switch between them with a single click.

Compact and quiet: Razer Pro Click Mini

If you want something smaller and cheaper than the Logitech MX Master 3, the Razer Pro Click Mini is a recent favorite of ours. This mouse feels great for its small size, with textured side grips and a nice curve that kept us comfortable throughout weeks of heavy work.

Its versatile scroll wheel has multiple settings for both speeding through and carefully browsing documents, and can even tilt left and right for when you need to navigate a wide spreadsheet. But we especially love how quiet the Pro Click Mini is, with nearly silent click buttons that your family, roommates or co-workers will surely appreciate.

Keyboards
The best overall: Logitech MX Keys
$119.99 at Logitech

Our pick for the best keyboard you can buy, the Logitech MX Keys pack tons of features and comfortable keys into a full-size design complete with arrow keys and a number pad. Its matte keys felt great to type on in our testing, and its handy proximity sensors will automatically illuminate them when it detects your hands nearby. You also get all of the customization and pairing benefits of a Logitech product, including 17 programmable keys and the ability to switch between three different devices on the fly.

For more splash and style: Logitech Pop Keys
$99.99 at Logitech

The MX Keys is as good as it gets for a traditional office keyboard, but what if you want to add some style to your WFH setup? The Logitech Pop Keys is a compact and colorful mechanical keyboard, delivering satisfyingly clackety keys and dedicated emoji buttons for spamming hearts and smiley faces to your friends. However, with five fully programmable keys and the ability to pair to three devices at once, the Pop Keys is as cool as it is reliable.

Headphones
The best overall: Sony WH-1000XM4
$349.99 $298 at Amazon

A good pair of wireless headphones is a must for anyone who doesn’t want to be tethered to a desk for calls or be steeped in chaos during important meetings. And when it comes to this po[CENSORED]r technology, the Sony WH-1000XM4 are the gold standard. These premium cans offer the best audio quality and noise cancellation of any over-ear headphones we’ve tested, preserving the finer details of our favorite tracks while silencing noisy neighbors. And just as crucially, they last up to 30 hours on a charge and have solid built-in microphones, making them a perfect companion for working from home, the office or your favorite coffee shop — or traveling between all three.

For on-ear enthusiasts: Beats Solo 3
$199.95 at Apple
The Beats Solo 3 have been around for quite a bit, but they remain the best on-ear headphones we’ve tested. On top of sounding great and delivering Beats’ signature booming bass, the Solo 3 beat out most rivals in terms of call quality, making them ideal for your daily Zoom check-ins. They’re comfortable enough to wear all day, and since they offer an incredible 40 hours of battery life, you’ll be able to get through most of the workweek without a single charge.
