By Joseph Green

The reality of working from home is different for everyone, and depends on lots of factors. 

For some people, the transition to working from home is totally straightforward. These people will probably have their home office set up with things that make for a comfortable and efficient working day. They’ll have desk chairs, monitors, and printers. Basically, all the things that you take for granted in the office.

It isn’t so easy for everyone, and some people will be struggling to adapt to this new professional landscape. These people are probably missing all the little things they loved in the office, like the coffee machine and the air conditioning. To these people, we recommend investing in your WFH setup.

There is no point complaining about how much your workspace sucks if you’re not going to at least try and improve your situation. There are absolutely loads of things you can do to make things more bearable (or even enjoyable), and it starts with the right products. Nowadays, you can purchase pretty much everything that makes your life easy in the office, and you don’t have to spend big to surround yourself with the best. 

One of the best products for instantly improving your home office is a keyboard, and you can shop for models from top brands like Logitech, Razer, and Microsoft without breaking the bank. There is a wide range of products on offer with something for everyone and every budget. To save you from hours of unpleasant research, we have tracked down a selection of your best options. 

These are the best keyboards in 2020.

A little on the expensive side, but will appeal to lovers of all things Apple.

Arteck 2.4G

There are a lot of big names on this list of the best keyboards, including Apple, Microsoft, and Logitech. There is life outside these brands though, and the Arteck 2.4G keyboard could be your best option for value and design.
The stainless steel material provides a heavy duty feeling and the low-profile keys offer quiet and comfortable typing. You can keep all your most-used functions and media controls closer with dedicated hot keys, and the scissors-kick keys can be used more than 3 million times continuously.
