Working from home? These accessories have you covered!

Video meetings, online Friday drinks and colleagues forgetting to mute themselves—working from home has become part of everyday life for many people. What started as a temporary solution has become a permanent way of working. That's why having a comfortable and efficient home office is more important than ever. With the right home office accessories from Appelhoes, you'll work more comfortably and productively.
 

Tip 1: Set up an ergonomic home office

The number one tip for working from home is to maintain an ergonomic working posture. Spending hours behind a desk every day can easily lead to neck and back pain if your workspace isn't set up correctly.

Take your screen position, for example. If it's too low, you'll constantly look down, putting unnecessary strain on your neck. A MacBook stand raises your laptop to eye level and immediately improves your posture. A great choice is the Twelve South Curve MacBook Stand.
 

Tip 2: A mouse is an essential home office accessory

Clicking, scrolling and dragging—your mouse gets used all day long. An external mouse is more comfortable and accurate than your MacBook's trackpad while also providing a more ergonomic working position. At Appelhoes you'll find wired and wireless mice in various colours, brands and price ranges, including this wireless Bluetooth mouse from Satechi.
 

Tip 3: Complete your setup with an external keyboard

A mouse and keyboard go hand in hand. A comfortable MacBook keyboard is an essential part of any home office. Typing directly on your laptop forces you to look down continuously. By combining a MacBook stand with an external keyboard, you can work in a much healthier position. An external keyboard also allows you to adjust your working position throughout the day. We recommend this MacAlly aluminium keyboard.
 

Tip 4: A USB-C hub is a must-have for your MacBook

Modern Apple devices mainly use USB-C ports. If you'd like to connect an external monitor, a wired keyboard or other accessories, you'll probably need a USB-C hub. A USB-C hub expands your MacBook with additional USB-A and HDMI ports, making it an essential accessory for any home office. A great option is this Satechi USB-C Multi-Port Adapter.

Tip 5: Home office tips for iPad users

If you regularly work on an iPad, consider using an iPad stand. It allows you to comfortably participate in online meetings without holding your iPad.

If you also use your iPad for writing emails or documents, an external keyboard is highly recommended. Even better are all-in-one keyboard cases that combine a stand, protective case and keyboard, such as the Mobiparts Keyboard Folio for iPad. It's an efficient way to complete your home office setup.
