Targus is shifting its peripheral lineup toward wired connections to eliminate the friction points that plague modern wireless setups. This move matters because it removes the need to manage charging cycles or wait for devices to wake from sleep. Buyers who value consistent uptime and lower upfront costs should pay attention to this approach.
Targus EcoSmart keyboard and mouse launch with USB-C connectivity
The new EcoSmart line includes a dedicated keyboard, a mouse, and a bundled set, all designed for standard desk use. The keyboard model AKB875US offers a full layout with 107 keys that use low-profile scissor switches for a quiet typing experience. The mouse model AMU828GL provides adjustable sensitivity with settings at 1,200, 1,600, or 2,400 DPI to match different user preferences.

Both devices rely on a wired USB-C connection to maintain a stable link with your computer. Targus includes a USB-C-to-USB-A adapter in the box to ensure compatibility with older computers that lack modern ports. The entire product line is constructed using up to 85% post-consumer recycled materials to reduce environmental impact.
The keyboard costs $29.99, the mouse is priced at $19.99, and the combo set goes for $49.99. Targus states that these wired peripherals remove the double-press wake-up delay common in wireless devices. All items come with a two-year limited warranty and require no special drivers for Windows or macOS.
These products are available for purchase from the Targus website and will arrive at the Targus store on Amazon soon. The EcoSmart line establishes a baseline for reliable, sustainable input devices that prioritize function over wireless convenience.
