Features To Look For

Here is a list of features to look for in a new mouse and keyboard.

Comfort

The most important feature to look for in both your mouse and keyboard is comfort, especially if you work from your computer or use it for several hours each day.


The best way to ensure comfort is by purchasing an ergonomic mouse and keyboard. Although they are more expensive, they will help to reduce wrist strain and the risk of injury over time.

Keyboard Switches

Keyboard switches are small devices that rest beneath each key of your keyboard and tell the computer when that key has been pressed. There are three main types of keyboard switches available, silicone domes, scissor, and mechanical switches.

Movement Sensors

For a computer mouse to work, it must have a movement sensor. Movement sensors detect when the computer mouse has moved which allows it to move the cursor on the screen.


You can buy a mouse with an LED sensor or a laser sensor. LED sensors are cheaper while laser sensors provide more accuracy and a faster response time.
