By

With state and federal guidelines tightening around large groups as a result of COVID-19, it’s quite likely many of us will be working from home for days, if not weeks. For those looking to upgrade their home office setup, we’ve been combing the web for excellent home office deals.

One area which might be a smart place to start is a new keyboard and mouse. We’ve selected the following deals as some of the best we’ve seen to upgrade these essential pieces of your home office setup.

Logitech MK270 Wireless Keyboard and Mouse — $23, was $25

If you are looking for a basic option, the Logitech M270 is by far the cheapest option. Completely wireless, this keyboard and mouse combo features a full-size keyboard with a numeric keypad and compact cordless mouse with a scroll wheel. For those watching streaming content over the next few weeks, you’ll find the multimedia buttons — including music, movies, Internet, media, play/pause, and volume — quite useful.

Microsoft Wireless Comfort Desktop 5050 Curved Keyboard and Mouse — $55, was $70

Spending a little extra money will get you a better — and more comfortable keyboard and mouse overall. The Microsoft Wireless Comfort Desktop 5050 Curved Keyboard and Mouse features a full-size keyboard with numeric keypad, as well as a mouse, both designed with ergonomics in mind. The keyboard features a set of programmable keys that allow you to access your most frequently used programs quickly.

One thing that sets this keyboard and mouse set apart is the inclusion of what’s called BlueTrack within the mouse itself. With BlueTrack, the mouse will perform much better than standard mice on a wider variety of surfaces. If you need precision in a mouse, this is the set to pick.

Logitech MK710 Wireless Keyboard and Mouse Combo — $65, was $100

At the top end of our picks is the Logitech MK710 Wireless Keyboard and Mouse Combo. Both the keyboard and mouse feature an impressive three-year battery life, with tons of features aimed at offering a more comfortable and user-friendly experience. For example, the keyboard features a cushioned palm rest with what it calls ‘incurved’ keys for a more comfortable typing experience. At the same time, the mouse is ergonomically designed to fit in hand nicely with a frictionless scroll wheel for fast scrolling.

Another nifty feature is the LCD screen that is included on the keyboard itself. This screen displays information on the battery life of your set, as well as notifications on when the caps lock, scroll lock, and num lock is active.

Best security camera deals: Get a single camera for $30 and more
Arlo Pro 4 Spotlight Camera

Whether you're working at home or still going to an office, having security cameras around your has can offer you peace of mind, but what might not give you as much peace of mind is finding the right one. Luckily, the best security cameras usually have some form of deal on them, and we've collected some of the best here for you to save you the trouble. So, whether you need a whole-house setup or just a single camera, there are deals for every need.
Today's Best Security Camera Deals
While there are a lot of great deals, our favorite is probably the Swann Enforcer bundle, with four 1080p cameras and local storage. That last bit is important if you have choppy internet and can't rely on cloud storage; plus, you don't have to deal with annoying subscription services, which is always a big plus. The downside is that it's a wired system, so you'll have to run cabling, and not everybody is willing to do that. On the other hand, if you want a wireless system, the Arlo Pro 4 Spotlight Camera Security Bundle is a great option since it comes with a charging station and costs $300 for three cameras, so essentially $100 per camera for 2k and a bunch of other functions.

Of course, if you only need one camera, the Arlo Essential Indoor Camera and the eufy Security SoloCam L40 are both great options. Which one you go for depends wholly on whether you feel the need for 2k resolution or not, although if you're doing it for an indoor space that isn't too big, it might not be worth going for 2k, especially if you only need a pet camera.

Weekend deal: Save $50 on this popular 4K dash cam at Best Buy
The Nextbase 622GW 4K Dash Cam on a car's windshield.

Whether it's a minor fender bender or a more significant car accident, having a dash cam can be a lifesaver, especially if you're dealing with insurance. Of course, there are a lot of dash cams to pick from with various levels of quality and features. Luckily, one of the better dash cams is on sale right now, the Nextbase 4k Dash Cam, and while it usually goes for $400, you can grab it from Best Buy for just $350. While that may not seem like much, $350 for a 4k-capable dash cam is impressive.

Why you should buy the Nextbase 622GW 4K Dash Cam
The Nexbase 622GW is packed with some impressive features, such as the 4k resolution, which films at 30fps, although it can film at 60fps at 2k and, interestingly, 120fps at 1080p, although we doubt you'll very much run the last mode regularly. More importantly, it comes with some advanced image stabilization to help deal with the vibrations and bumps from your car, plus it comes with some next-level night vision and image polarization to help with sunny conditions that might otherwise cause glare. Even better, it has internal processing capable of helping with misty conditions, making this a great camera for all-weather driving, which is impressive for such a small package.

Usually $150, this pour-over coffee maker can be yours for $40
Someone using the Bella Pro Series 8-Cup Pour Over Coffee Maker.

For a considerable chunk of people, having that first coffee of the day is paramount to starting on the right foot, which is why having a good coffee maker can make a world of difference. If you live with others, there's also the element of having to prepare coffee for several people, which is why larger coffee machines, like the Bella Pro Series, are a great option, and we'll see why in a little bit. Of course, the Bell Pro Series is a bit pricey if you're on a budget, but luckily you can grab one from Best Buy for just $40, rather than the usual $150 it goes for.

Why you should buy the Bella Pro Series 8-Cup Pour Over Coffee Maker
While the Bella Pro Series didn't quite make our list of best coffee makers out there, the 8-carafe Pro Series has a lot of great options whether you're a solo coffee drinker or not. For example, one of our favorite features is the pause-and-serve function, which stops the brew at any point so you can serve yourself a coffee. That way, you can sneak in a cup before others get to it or are ready, and if you're on your own, it lets you get started with your day without having to wait for the full brew time. It also has a simple one-button design that allows you to brew and warm the coffee for up to two hours, which we very much appreciate compared to smart coffee makers, which can sometimes be overcomplicated.
