Selection of tools featured in this article
1. FastForward Vertical Mouse
The BakkerElkhuizen FastForward Vertical Mouse is a great choice for a hybrid worker and weighs only 131 grams. Fast by name, fast by nature, the FastForward with HyperScroll is a semi-vertical mouse with Bluetooth connection for fast ergonomic setup out and about. A portability bonus for the FastForward mouse is how its rechargeable battery keeps going for up to four months on a single charge.
2. The R-Go Compact Break Mini Keyboard
For a super-slim mini keyboard that won’t take up much room in your workbag, take a look at the R-Go Compact Break Mini Keyboard made from 100% recycled plastic. It also has a Bluetooth option, and is a lightweight ergonomic tool for the office at just 310 grams. Alternative keyboards tend to weigh between 400 and 700 grams.
At any workstation, a keyboard that is compact in width is highly recommended by ergonomists. This is because a mini keyboard ensures that your hands are always within shoulder width when using the keyboard and mouse simultaneously, reducing risk of strain. If you work with words more than numbers, as I do, you might not need the number section at the end of a traditional keyboard - you’ll still have the numbers at the top. If you do work with numbers frequently, you can add an R-Go Numeric Keypad to this portable keyboard.
An easily washable ultra-thin cover is available for the R-Go Compact Break Mini Keyboard, making it an extra practical office accessory for travel. It also has a clever traffic-light colour system, to remind you to take breaks.
3. The Posturite Curve
I’m throwing a curveball in here because this portable ergonomic tool features no technology whatsoever. Just a great design that’s top rated by hundreds of customers. The Posturite Curve is a portable cushion with a handle with the precise curve and firmness to feel good behind your back to give lower back support. Use it on a chair or a car seat.
“Comfortable and easy to transport and clean” says Jess in her review, but Priscilla gives more of a rave review of this portable ergonomic tool:
“I was introduced to this at a meeting because I had such a bad back that I requested some sort of support. It was such a game-changer that I ordered one as soon as I got home. In the week or so that I’ve had it, my back has improved so much. Wouldn’t be without it, and with the useful handle, it goes everywhere with me.”
Graham Ashton, one of the Posturite ergonomists, explains that the purpose of the Posturite Curve is to help you maintain lower back support when you’re sitting down. It helps you to keep the natural S-shape curvature of your spine and avoid a C-shape posture.
4. The EPOS ADAPT 260 Bluetooth Stereo Headset
A good portable Bluetooth headset is recommended for people who travel with work, so that you’re not messing about with wires. Opt for a lightweight ergonomic office headset such as the EPOS ADAPT 260 Bluetooth Stereo Headset and Dongle for comfort and efficiency in the long term. As a high-performing ergonomic tool for the office, the EPOS ADAPT 260 has soft, thick, on-ear leatherette ear pads to cheer you up if your fellow commuters in that train carriage are grating on your nerves. Its portable features include:
- A smart fold-flat ear cup design
- A carry pouch
- A weight of just 120 grams
- An impressive battery life of up to 27 hours.
The binaural style (i.e. for both ears) is also ideal for travelling. “Good for work calls, doesn't pick up too much external noise” reported Afrah in his 5-star review.
5. The Hylyft™ Laptop Riser
To reduce the risk of developing neck strain, make sure a laptop riser is included in your set of ergonomic portable office accessories. Personally, I couldn’t be without a laptop stand now for working from home and fieldwork.
Here’s an extra lightweight and compact solution; the Hylyft™ Laptop Riser which folds flat and comes with a carry pouch that doubles as a mouse mat. Use it to raise your eye level so that your screen is in front of you, avoiding a head-hang posture and ensuring a healthy ergonomic laptop use.
It weighs 360 grams, in comparison with alternative laptop risers weighing 500-800 grams.
If you don’t have a laptop stand available during your work travels, you could improvise with a temporary stack of books or sturdy boxes.
6. The Contour Rollermouse Go
One popular ergonomic hack is to use a central roller bar instead of a traditional mouse, and an excellent centred mouse for hybrid working is the Contour Rollermouse Go. With its travel-friendly size, robust build, weight of 330 grams, and programmable keys, it’s an ergonomic powerhouse that helps your efficiency and comfort on the move.
The innovative design of a centred mouse positions your hands directly in front of the keyboard which encourages balanced use of both hands and can help reduce repetitive strain. People who have a painful hand condition called stenosing tenosynovitis, also known as Trigger Finger, might also love this approach.
Partner up the Rollermouse Go with a compact keyboard of a similar width.
7. Mousetrapper Alpha
Love the centred mouse concept, but want an integrated keyboard to create a keyboard and mouse 2-in1? Enter the room, Mousetrapper Alpha! Boasting a super-slim design, integrated Bluetooth 4, and a weight of 745 g, you’d be making a good choice of portable ergonomic tool.
Renee gives it a 5-star review for hassle-free use: “Lovely keyboard, keys similar to laptop, so easy to adapt to.”
8. Inflatable Lumbar Support
If inflatables make you think of holidays, I’m afraid to tell you that this one is for the workstation rather than the pool. The Inflatable Lumbar Support is a popular and inexpensive back support gadget scoring high for portability with its 42 x 24 cm size and robust rubber insert. “Instant relief for my lower back” reported Gavin.
Ergonomist Graham Ashton is a fan and says:
“The inflatable lumbar support is a specialist solution because you can inflate and deflate the support to match the natural curvature of the spine and to provide essential support. It’s universal because you can use it on almost any chair wherever you are to give that support. I’ve had clients suffering with slipped discs for example, who have found it invaluable.”
9. Posturite Slimline Wedge
Take a Posturite Slimline Wedge with you when travelling for work to help you to improve your posture and sit at a more comfortable angle for your hips and lower back. It looks too simple in design to have an effect, but the results for your comfort and wellbeing can be transformative:
“This wedge has helped relieve months of pain. I couldn't be without it now” says Alan in his review. Timothy also reports that the firmness is “just right”. Use the Slimline Wedge to increase your circulation in the way that your hip to knee angle is gently altered.
Customers with sciatic pain leave rave reviews for this portable back support for office workers, and it brings comfort if there’s only a hard bench seat available to sit on.
10. Posturite Executive 4 Wheel Trolley Backpack
Finally, what kind of workbag can you put your portable ergonomic tools for the office in?
A backpack is recommended for comfort and distributing the weight evenly across both shoulders, instead of a standard laptop bag with a single strap.
If you need a large bag for your equipment, the practical Posturite Executive 4 Wheel Trolley Backpack is ideal. To protect your back, wheel it rather than carry it around stations, streets and airports. “I got this backpack to cart my laptop to work and back on the train, as I have a shoulder injury and am struggling to carry bags” Alison says.
It contains multiple useful inner compartments, the handle has a height adjustment and you won’t be disappointed with the strength and durability of the fabric.
How do you manage to have an ergonomic workplace while travelling?
Avoid using a laptop on its own as much as possible when travelling, because the screen, keyboard and trackpad not being separate is an issue. Instead set yourself up at a table or desk to use a separate mouse, keyboard and laptop stand. It really takes no time to create an ergonomic workstation and helps you avoid pain. The How To Work Comfortably On The Go guide acknowledges that sometimes you just can’t find a hard surface to work on, including when you’re in the car, but advises working on an inputting task for no longer than 15 minutes in this case. Take a short moving break afterwards, too.
Here I go again, on my own

Amongst the numerous portable pieces of equipment in Posturite’s portfolio, these ergonomic mice, keyboards, laptop risers, back supports, and laptop bags are real highlights to kickstart a far more comfortable working day.
