Once you’ve got your stand and mouse, you’ll probably want an external keyboard as well. For a complete ergonomic setup, we recommend a keyboard with a split and tented design. Unlike a fully split board, which can take a bit of relearning, an Alice layout angles the keys so you can keep your hands in a more neutral position, but typing feels much like is always has. The Ergo K860 from Logitech connects quickly via Bluetooth and properly maintains Mac-specific hot keys right out of the box like volume, brightness and opening Mission Control. That means it’ll also work as a Mac accessory.Â
One thing to note is the number pad and built-in wrist rest make it pretty large so it might not work for smaller desks. If you want a wired ergonomic option with a particularly compact footprint — and you’re prepared to take a couple weeks to relearn how to type — you can try Zsa’s Voyager. It’s a fully split, programmable mechanical board that I use daily. Â
