In this day and age, working from home is more common than ever. While you may have a different work set-up than you might have in the office workplace, having the ideal PC accessories at home to help manage your working life is of the utmost importance, especially if you can do it without costing you a fortune. Thankfully, we can let you know three of the most ideal items to help your working day at home or in the office.
First up we have theDucky One 3 Classicsilent mechanical keyboard. Before having a desk working at home, I was working on the sofa with my laptop. Now that I have the comfort of a desk and an awesomeHero Resident Evil Umbrella Editionfrom Noblehairs, my home-at-work life has been made exponentially more practical. Yet, it would have been a hard sell to convince me that a new keyboard would have much of an impact in comparison to my standard laptop keyboard, thankfully I’ve been proven wrong in an instant.

It’s hard to describe how good the keys feel, but if I were to describe them in a single word, it would be “therapeutic”. Each press of the key feels super sturdy thanks to its inner stabilisers, foam case dampener and silicone plate. The ease of navigating the keys results in a natural rhythm and eventually, you’ll be typing as fast as the well-known Kermit the Frog gif (you know the one). What’s more, if the default key layout isn’t to your preference, you can swap all the keys easily with the tools provided in the box.
Ducky
The exactDucky One 3 Classickeyboard that I used for this review is the ‘full-size mechanical gaming keyboard’, Cherry Brown/Pure White. There are many variations of the Ducky One keyboards ranging in size, layout, colour, clickiness, silence and more. Give or take, you’ll be looking at around £100+ for this range and while it might not be the most exciting purchase, it would be one that you won’t regret whether you are working, gaming, streaming or everything else in between.
Next up we have theStreamplify CAM FHD Webcamwhich performs at 1080p with 2.0 megapixels, a super smooth 60fps and a 90° field of vision. Much like theDucky One 3 Classickeyboard, before now I was using the built-in webcam and that was fine, and in my typically stubborn way, I saw no reason to use an external camera, that was until now. Working from home, it’s not only important to keep in touch with my colleagues in chat form, but from time to time, conversations will take place over Zoom or MS Teams. While my built-in camera is 1080p, the picture quality was never as good as it could be. Sure, theStreamplify CAM FHD Webcamis never going to be the quality of a DSLR, but that device would cost you hundreds. However, theStreamplify CAM FHD Webcamhas a very modest RRP of £52.99.

Last but not least, we have theStreamplify Light 10 Ring. Not for a split second did I ever think I needed to use a ring light? After all, this is something that only content creators would use, right? Well, yes and no. Sure, this is the kind of item that a content creator might use, but at the budget RRP of just £19.99, this ring light is the perfect accessory for working at home too, should you rely on the likes of Zoom and MS Team to communicate with your colleagues. It also has a 5V USB port meaning that it will connect to a power bank without the worry of an overload, making theStreamplify Light 10 Ringa perfect device on the go.

Before using theStreamplify Light 10 Ring, my standard room lightbulb was my poor choice of source. Granted, you could see what you needed to see, but depending on the natural light in the room, that quality would differ mostly for the worst. TheStreamplify Light 10 Ringimproves the image quality of my streams massively. The best way to explain the improvement is that it’s kind of like going from 1080p to glorious 4K. TheStreamplify Light 10 Ringis the perfect accessory that I never knew I needed until now and at just £19.99, it’s an absolute bargain.
