Get new non-standard accessories

Overview

Employees can purchase specific keyboards, mice or other accessories if needed. This purchase is not part of IT budget and will need to be paid by the requester's department. 

All requests need to be approved by IT first before it goes to the purchasing department. 

Solution

As a general rule the preference is to buy Logitech brand devices

The list below is what IT would recommend to buy, but any other keyboards, mice or accessories can also be considered. 

Common non-standard accessories:

• Wi-Fi Mouse:
  • Logitech M535
• Wi-Fi Mouse and Keyboard Combo:
  • For desktops Logitech MK540
  • For laptops Logitech Wireless Combo MK850 
  • Short keyboard (no numeric pad)
    • Evoluent Essentials Full Featured Compact Keyboard
• Ergonomic:
  • Ergonomic requests need to come from the Ergonomic office
    • To submit an ergonomic request please see this page.
  • More ergonomic options ErgoCanada
  • Any other keyboard recommended by ergonomic assessor
  • Ergonomic assessments are only valid for a year. After that a new assessment is required.

 NOTE: Purchasing

IT will pay for all keyboard or mice requests that are part of an official ergonomic assessment (this assessment is done by an ergonomic consultant).

Otherwise the department requesting keyboard or mice is responsible for buying it.
