Gadgets: Upgrade your keyboard, mouse
Seenda's wireless CTU-30 keyboard/mouse combo kit and the MOU200 mouse are game changers for any computer workstation. All are loaded with features, including multi-paring.
The CTU-301 keyboard and mouse kit ($45.99) supports 2-device fast switching with auto-adaptation, which is great when you combine it with a feature I can no longer live without: a built-in stand to hold a tablet and a smartphone, keeping all your devices in one place. And to answer a question I also had: You can easily charge both with USB cables while in the stand, or use a MagSafe charger on your smartphone.
It's a full-sized keyboard for Apple, Windows, iOS and Android systems. It includes a numeric keypad and 15 shortcut hotkeys. Bluetooth 5.0 delivers stable, uninterrupted connections, and the ergonomic layout features an angled tilt to prevent wrist discomfort and injuries. The keys are rounded for comfort, and it's promoted to be tested for a durability of 10 million keystrokes. Seenda also touts it as comfortable for blind typing.
Indicator lights on the top right alert you to many features, including a low-battery indicator and caps lock and number lock buttons that are activated. A protective silicone cover is also included with the replaceable battery-powered keyboard.
The 2.4G wireless dual-connection mouse included with the keyboard is Bluetooth 4.0 with quiet left- and right-clicks. It has an anti-fingerprint coating on the outside and three adjustable DPI levels (1,000, 1,600, 2,400). The mouse requires a single AA battery, and the keyboard requires a pair of AAA batteries. They are available in a variety of color combinations.
The Seenda MOU200 mouse ($23.99) is a more advanced device in their range of products focused on user productivity. It features an ergonomic design to reduce hand and wrist strain, a 2.4 GHz USB wireless receiver (a small device that plugs into your computer to enable wireless control), and Bluetooth connectivity for both Windows and Mac computers.
What makes the plug-and-play MOU200 mouse stand apart is the ergonomic design, which includes a vertical design, ideal for all-day comfort. Your hand sits on the mouse in a more relaxed position than on a flatter traditional mouse.
A non-slip thumb rest keeps you in position, and it is recommended for people with small and medium hands. A size chart is on the Seenda website. The spherical scroll wheel is as responsive as any I've used, and the DPI is adjustable (1000, 1,600, 2,400).
At the bottom are Bluetooth channel indicators, a channel-switching button, power, and the battery compartment for a single AA battery. The USB receiver is stored in the battery compartment. The MOU200 is available in black or purple.

The Creative Pebble X Plus 2.1 speaker system makes your desktop workstation stand out. Despite their small size, these speakers aren't limited to home offices. They produce big sound and are perfect for dorm rooms, bedrooms or smaller living areas.
The USB-powered speakers have 2.75-inch drivers. A separate subwoofer has a 3.5-inch flat-cap driver with dual passive radiators. You can connect them via wired USB or wirelessly with Bluetooth 5.3. There's also a 3.5mm auxiliary port and dual ports for headphones and microphones.
Each speaker measures 5.49 by 5.7 by 5.35 inches and sits flat with the speaker angled 45 degrees. The subwoofer is 6.15 by 6.14 by 6.24 inches. A 3.94-foot cable connects the speakers and a 5.91-foot cable to the subwoofer, so they can all be spaced apart.
Adding a small sound system like this delivers great sound for smaller spaces, and the subwoofer gives it an extra "oomph." The speakers have a matte finish, a spherical design and customizable RGB lighting with up to 16.8 million color combinations.
The creative companion app is available and has six lighting preset programs, or you can customize your own. Other features, including surround smart volume and bass tuning, are controlled by the app. The system has a continuous power output of 15 watts RMS and a peak power of 30 watts when connected to a PC USB-C port.
A multifunction and RGB control button is built on the right speaker. The headset and microphone ports are on the left speaker.
