How to choose the right keyboard and mouse?
"When choosing a mouse and keyboard, it is important to pay special attention to human design and engineering. For prolonged use, prefer products with an ergonomic design that will ease and even prevent joint, back and muscle pain. Another parameter to consider, especially for working from home, is flexibility and mobility. It will be a consideration in choosing between wired and wireless equipment, "says Itai Schweifel, Logitech Israel's Operations Manager.

How to choose the perfect screen?
Omri Levin, CEO of MMD Israel, which imports Philips and AOC, provided us with his recommendation for choosing the perfect screen for working from home.
It is important to make sure that the screen is large enough for work comfort, and at the same time matches the free desk space in your home office. 27 inches, FHD resolution can meet the need in terms of "normal" work tasks - emails, Excel sheets, Word, presentations, etc. Beyond 27 inches, it is advisable to switch to a higher resolution screen such as: QHD = 2k or UHD = 4k If your profession requires precision in the smallest details on the screen (such as graphic designers, architects, video editors, etc.), it is advisable to go for high resolution even on small 24-inch screens.

The latest trend in the computer screen market is a USB-C connection that allows the laptop to be connected to a screen for data transfer or charging via the screen. Thus, even if the home does not have enough electrical outlets, only one outlet for the screen is enough while the laptop will be charged via the USB-C cable, a very convenient feature for the home office.
And what about the price?
The temptation to go for a cheap price is great, especially on a home use screen. Today, you can find dozens of screen models belonging to unknown brands in the market. At the same time, there is an advantage in buying a leading brand screen for two main reasons - the quality is tested and known by the major manufacturers, secondly, a leading brand is committed to providing quality service in Israel and usually these provide service and warranty to the customer for three years. Definitely worth your peace of mind.
How to choose the right chair?
In recent times more and more people are working from home, probably in many high-tech companies, who have announced that remote work will continue for at least the next year. Those who work from home, sit for hours on one chair in one space, and it is not always a chair that is suitable for long and prolonged sitting, which creates pressure in the lower back, so proper sitting is important and necessary for back health. Proper sitting is sitting where the feet are on the floor, the feet are at 90 degrees, the calves are parallel to the floor and the back is upright, but it is likely that a small percentage of those who work from home actually sit correctly. But in addition to proper seating, it is also important to choose an orthopedic chair that is right for you. Dr. Gev shared with us some tips for choosing the perfect chair for working from home.
Choose a chair that suits you
There are wide and deep chairs, high or low chairs and it is necessary that the dimensions of the chair will suit those who will use it. For example, a large and wide chair will not give a young student the right support in the lower back, the depth of the seat will not allow space between the seat and the knee and the footrest will not reach the floor, so a chair in smaller sizes will be the right chair for him.
Choose a chair with an adjustment mechanism
It is important that an orthopedic chair offers changing and customization options to the user such as controlling the seat height, changing the angle of the backrest and the possibility of moving the handles to create ideal sitting conditions. A quality orthopedic chair should allow movement while sitting, whether it is through a rocking mechanism or with the help of a strong base with stable, high-quality wheels so that you can move freely. Especially if you have parquet, choose a chair with quality wheels that will not damage the floor and will not make noise during use.
Choose a chair with the appropriate upholstery
, leather, fabric, mesh in the backrest and easy-to-clean fabrics, there are so many options and each type of upholstery has its own advantages. You should choose what is most beneficial and serves you: skin is preserved over time, fabrics are easy to clean and fan mesh fabric adapts itself quickly to the body. It should be borne in mind that synthetic fabrics are less recommended, you should choose an upholstery that prevents excessive sweating.
An orthopedic chair is not just a functional item, it is an integral part of the design of the room space. In children's rooms it is possible to go wild with the colors, in executive offices it is worth choosing a chair that conveys authority and in common work spaces it is possible to create a separation from area to area by choosing different chairs and varied colors. Get help from orthopedic chairs specialists who will fit you with the chair that best suits your body size and your sitting and working habits.

And how do you sit properly?
Sitting upright : Sitting upright with the head tilted forward causes uneven pressure in the vertebrae and can cause neck pain and lower back problems so it is important to keep the head above shoulder height.
Eye-level computer : The top of the computer monitor should be at eye level in a straight line (and not on the side).
Important - Adjust the screen so that it does not have a bright reflection, it makes the eyes strain.
The keyboard is tilted back : Although it is commonly thought that the opposite is true, your keyboard should be tilted back and not towards you. Tilting backwards prevents your wrist from being lifted upwards, causing wrist tunnel syndrome. In addition, it is recommended to rest your wrist on a pillow.
The chair seat is tilted forward : tilting forward maintains the natural curvature of the back, prevents unbalanced pressure on the vertebrae of the lower back and the lower side of the thigh, allows blood flow to the legs and prevents the development of varicose veins (swelling of veins in the legs).
Armrests at a suitable height : It is correct to adjust the armrests to a height that is suitable for the handwork, so that you will avoid neck, back pain and hand problems.
Place your feet on the floor : When sitting correctly, your feet are directly on the floor. Proper adjustment of the height of the chair and use of the footstool for the feet will allow full rest of the feet on the floor.
