Targus launches EcoSmart wired keyboard and mouse made with up to 85% recycled materials
Targus has expanded its EcoSmart accessories lineup with a new wired keyboard and mouse designed for users who want reliable everyday performance with a smaller environmental footprint. The new products are made with up to 85% post-consumer recycled materials, giving offices, schools, and home workspaces a more sustainable option without sacrificing convenience.
The lineup includes the Targus EcoSmart keyboard, model AKB875US, priced at $29.99, the EcoSmart mouse, model AMU828GL, priced at $19.99, and the EcoSmart keyboard and mouse combo, model AKM625US, priced at $49.99. The devices are available through the Targus website, with availability through the company’s Amazon storefront expected soon.
The EcoSmart keyboard features a full-size 107-key layout, making it suitable for productivity, data entry, office work, school use, and general computing. It uses low-profile scissor keys, which are designed to provide a quiet and comfortable typing experience. That makes it a practical choice for shared workspaces, classrooms, libraries, and home offices where reduced typing noise can be a major benefit.
Targus has also focused on broad compatibility. The keyboard includes a USB-C cable along with a USB-C to USB-A adapter, allowing it to connect easily to modern and older computers. It works with both Windows PCs and Apple computers, and no additional drivers are required. Users can simply plug it in and start typing.
The EcoSmart mouse is built for everyday productivity as well. It includes two main buttons, a scroll wheel, and two side buttons for added control. Users can also adjust the mouse sensitivity between 1,200, 1,600, and 2,400 DPI, making it easy to switch between precise navigation and faster cursor movement depending on the task.
Like the keyboard, the mouse comes with USB-C connectivity and a USB-C to USB-A adapter. It is automatically recognized by PCs and Macs, so users do not need to install extra software before using it.
For businesses, schools, and organizations purchasing accessories in bulk, the EcoSmart keyboard and mouse combo offers a simple all-in-one solution. The bundle can help streamline device setup across classrooms, computer labs, reception desks, office stations, and shared work environments.
One of the biggest advantages of these wired accessories is consistency. Because they use cable connections, users do not need to replace batteries, recharge devices, or deal with wireless pairing issues. There is also no wireless lag, which can be important for people who want immediate response during typing, scrolling, or clicking.
Wired keyboards also avoid a common frustration found with some wireless models: sleep mode. Since the EcoSmart keyboard stays connected and ready to use, users do not have to press a key once to wake it up and then press again to enter the command. For busy workplaces, that small time savings can add up throughout the day.
The new Targus EcoSmart keyboard and mouse are aimed at buyers who want dependable, plug-and-play computer accessories with a more eco-conscious design. With recycled materials, simple USB-C and USB-A compatibility, quiet typing, adjustable mouse DPI, and a two-year limited warranty, the lineup offers a practical balance of sustainability, affordability, and everyday performance.
