I know you singled out chairs and desks, but let me also throw out a plug for the ergonomic keyboard I use. This keyboard is probably the reason I'm still able to work in the industry today.
The Microsoft Ergo Sculpt keyboard is amazing. It's very comfortable and doesn't require any getting used to, because it has a standard layout, and your hands sit in roughly a standard position when you're using it.
It's compatible with both Windows PCs and Mac/OSX. One point of caution, however: I have found that only some of them work automatically with my work Macbook. I've noticed that the USB transmitters come in 2 varieties: one that says 'Microsoft', and one that says 'Logitech' (IIRC). The ones that I've had good success with on the Mac are the ones that have the Microsoft transmitter. If you're just using it with a Windows PC, it doesn't matter which one you end up with.
Here's a link on Amazon to buy it for $70: https://smile.amazon.com/Microsoft-Ergonomic-Keyboard-Business-5KV-00001/dp/B00CYX26BC/ https://smile.amazon.com/Microsoft-Ergonomic-Keyboard-Busine...
Seriously, if you're not already using an ergo keyboard, unless you're one of those mechanical keyboard gearheads who obsesses about colors of switches, you'll probably like it. I guarantee it will kick the socks off of any built-in laptop keyboard, and it's better than most wireless keyboards, IMO.
- xcubic 6y agoI have one too and can attest for this...
- muzani 6y agoThere are some other solid Microsoft keyboards too and they're also really cheap (compared to keyboards in similar quality range). Mechanical keyboards are for stype, MS ergo keyboards for comfort. One of the best mid range mice I got were Microsoft too.
- netjiro 6y ago+1 for ms ergo sculpt - unless you have above average size hands. For me there is a plastic raised edge below the wrist support that very uncomfortably cuts into my hand. I have above average but not large hands. I've recommended it to a bunch of women who do not have this issue with it.
