Tablets are convenient, but if you need to get some work done, you’ll need a proper keyboard – or at least most of us do anyway. No one wants to sacrifice their wrists trying to stab at a tiny on-screen keyboard.

Microsoft’s Wedge Mobile keyboard is designed to work with most tablets, using Bluetooth to connect to devices, but it works particularly well with Windows 8 devices – it even has the Windows start button, along with the regular media controls.

It’s not quite full size, so it’s compact and light enough to carry around, and the cover included to protect the keys also doubles as a tablet stand. www.microsoft.com
