The Best Keyboards and Mice for Office/Gaming – Winter 2022

Logitech MX Master 3Don’t Just Upgrade Your PC, Upgrade Your Experience!

As much as personal PCs have changed since their release over four decades ago, two things have remained fundamentally the same: the keyboard and mouse. And we have a feeling they’ll be with us for decades to come. With that said, we definitely don’t recommend you saddle your new PC with the same old peripherals you’ve been using for years! Stepping up to a modern keyboard and mouse can make your computing experience come alive again, which shouldn’t be too surprising if you consider that they are the two main touchpoints that connect you to your computer.

Our Latest Picks, Featuring Logitech, Corsair, and Razer!

For Winter 2022, we list our top 10 picks to cater to every user out there. First, you have our top 5 picks for home and small office products. Next, we have the top 5 picks among gaming-specific products for mainstream and extreme gaming. Keep in mind that just because a product has “gaming” in the name doesn’t mean it’s the real deal. We’ve picked out models that know will actually improve your gaming experience!

Parting Thoughts
