If you spend most of your day typing, switching between spreadsheets, emails and multiple applications, the Kensington KB515 EQ Wired Keyboard is a refreshingly practical upgrade. It has a full-size layout with a number pad, so it feels immediately familiar, while the scissor-switch keys offer a quieter and smoother typing experience than many traditional office keyboards. This makes it particularly well suited to shared offices or home workspaces where you don't want every email to sound like a drum solo.

The 16 programmable keys are one of the standout features, giving you the ability to customise shortcuts for the tools and commands you use most often. The dedicated Copilot key is also a useful addition for Windows users who regularly use Microsoft's AI features. The wired USB-C connection, complete with a tethered USB-A adapter, means there is no pairing, charging or noticeable lag to worry about " simply plug it in and start working.

The KB515 EQ isn't trying to be flashy, and that's exactly what makes it appealing. It is a straightforward, comfortable and thoughtfully designed keyboard that focuses on productivity. For professionals looking for a reliable full-size keyboard with customisable shortcuts and quiet keys, this is a solid choice that should make the working day feel just that little bit easier.

Review:

The Kensington SmartFit EQ Adjustable Multi-Angle Laptop Stand is one of those simple desk accessories that can make a surprisingly noticeable difference to everyday comfort. If you regularly work from a laptop, especially in a smaller workspace, raising the screen to a more comfortable viewing height can help reduce the constant downward angle that often leaves your neck and shoulders feeling strained by the end of the day.

What I particularly like about this stand is its combination of flexibility and simplicity. It offers six preset height and angle combinations, reaching up to 378mm, without requiring complicated adjustments or assembly. The dual locking levers help keep the stand stable, while the compact design means it doesn't dominate your desk. It also folds flat when not in use, making it a practical option for hybrid workers who move between home and the office.

Suitable for laptops and MacBooks from 13 to 16 inches, the stand feels designed with everyday usability in mind. It is also reassuring that it has been tested and recommended by the German IGR Institute for Health and Ergonomics. Affordably priced to create a more ergonomic workstation without investing in a large monitor arm or complicated desk setup. The SmartFit EQ is a smart, space-saving accessory for anyone wanting a more comfortable and organised workspace.
