Nobody should be using a wired mouse or keyboard anymore. Times have moved on so much with desktop accessories that there really isn't any need for wires all over the desk. Okay, some firms may be a bit archaic about updating things like this, but if you have a home setup or want to improve your desk experience at work, wireless is the only way. I was recently sent two keyboard/mouse combination packs from SEENDA, a company I was unfamiliar with, but one that specialises in affordable but stylish office and home technology. The first pack I unboxed was the CEO200 double pack, which consisted of a very simple-looking keyboard and mouse duo. I was fine with the basic look; all I really want is efficiency and comfort. The fact that they look quite understated is actually a plus point for me. The keyboard design is like a sleek version of the old school office keyboards we have all grown up with in the workplace, but this one is connectable via Bluetooth or wireless with ease. With a basic design and jet black colour, it looks like the keyboard you expect. The plus point is that it does the job you expect well. I liked the palm support on the bottom of the keyboard, which was comfortable to use. I also liked the general typing experience and the quiet clicking of the keys. The mouse was as expected in shape and design. It was ultra-responsive and easy to connect. For the budget price on offer, it's a great, affordable office solution that does the job that's needed. If I had a gripe, it would be that the design feels a little bit too much like 2010, but there really isn't much wrong with tradition. It's definitely durable and would be able to withstand even the angriest of typists. The second pack I looked at was the COE401 double pack, which features a very different-looking keyboard that offers a contrast to its stablemate. The keyboard is a sleek black and grey design that hugs the desk rather than standing out. It's a really eye-catching product visually. I liked the weight of the keyboard; it definitely felt less obtrusive and lacked the other's old-school charm. The keys are much lower and more like laptop buttons, which is something many people are used to these days. It depends on your preference. It definitely has a lighter, more modern feel to it, but it doesn't affect the performance. Ergonomically raised to an 8-degree angle, the keyboard is very comfortable to use and the keys are super quite to use. There's a lot to like here, and you can even connect to three different devices simultaneously. As with the other pack, connectivity is as simple as it should be today. At the price point, these are no frills, decent solutions to wireless desking. They don't claim to be all singing and all-dancing, but they don't have any real negatives when it comes to doing the job properly. Where to buy Both products are available on Amazon.

That said, if you’ve got wide hands, the keys can feel a little close together at first." What people have said about the COE200 pack "The multi-device pairing is slick, and switching between my iPad and desktop PC is as easy as a quick press (a total time-saver). It's also got a sensible UK QWERTY setup, unlike a couple of disappointing keyboards I've recently purchased (on a UK site but with a US keyboard!) Its only downfall is a lack of illuminated keys, which honestly can be a game changer in dark lighting, so on that score it loses a star."
