Time for another loaded holiday gift guide, this time for the home office. Many of us have become more accustomed to working at home, so a gift that can improve the day-to-day work cycle can be greatly valued. Additionally, there are tons of great options to look at for those who stream or create online content.

We’ll take a look at a few new home office devices including keyboards, monitors, mics, cameras, and other supplemental devices fit to give during the holidays.

Here is our ‘MobileSyrup Home Office Holiday Gift Guide’ for 2021:

ROG Strix Monitor

Asus Rog

First up, the ASUS ROG Strix serves as a great well-rounded monitor for the home office. Although it’s billed as a gaming monitor, the perks it provides can be of use in nearly any use case. It features 1080p at 120Hz or 1440p at 60Hz HDR output, which is great for playing contemporary games on a PC or console. Its 0.5ms response time is also a great benefit while playing games.

Additionally, the ROG Strix utilizes ASUS’ Extreme Low Motion Blur technology to achieve 1ms MPRT. Users can also take advantage of the display’s AMD Freesync technology to reduce input lag and framerate issues. Finally, it features RGB lighting which can be customized to fit any aesthetic.

Ultra-low latency is also a staple of the UltraGear display.

On the rear of the monitor, the UltraGear features RGB lighting on the back. UltraGear’s lighting sphere can sync with whatever is being displayed, creating a reactive lighting effect. Users can also adjust the height and angle of the monitor to fit personal preferences.

Belkin

For those within the Apple ecosystem, having an all-in-one charging solution for iPhone, Apple Watch, and AirPods is a great gift to receive. Seeing as though Apple does not sell a robust wireless charger of this kind, Belkin has stepped in with its Boost Charge Qi dock.
