12 Must-Have Gadgets For Remote Workers Who Love To Travel – SlashGear

A decent trackpad like that on the MacBook is often so good you forget about your mouse, especially when you learn all the gestures. After eight hours a day, though, it won’t be doing your carpal tunnel any favors. A mouse can be better for your wrist, and studies from the Logitech Ergonomic Lab suggest you’re 50% more productive and work 30% faster with one. Using one saves not just your dominant hand from cramps, but your forearm, neck, and shoulders from tension and aches. If you’re concerned about battery, then worry not. Some options like the Logitech M705 Marathon Wireless Mouse boast up to three years of battery life.

That said, we don’t recommend adding the cheapest Bluetooth mouse possible to your Amazon cart. Invest just a few dollars more in a larger, ergonomic option. Our pick is the Logitech MX Master 3S (and accompanying keyboard, if you so desire) due to its incredible economics and helpful features like quiet clicking, any-surface tracking, MagSpeed Electromagnetic scrolling, and support for up to three devices. It is a bit heavy, costly at $99.99, and the one-month battery life gets an eye roll. Still, ergonomics and features-wise, this is a game changer that will quickly become the mouse you use everywhere, whether at your Airbnb or a beachside working area.
