Dell’s new Premier Keyboard and Premier Rechargeable Mouse are designed to help the modern businessperson with work. Whether it’s good Dell Keyboard Battery life, fast recharge times, or integrated Zoom controls, Dell’s peripherals are poised to improve an office workflow.The Dell Premier Collaboration Keyboard (KB900 ) is marketed as the “world’s first Zoom-certified keyboard,” thanks to integrated controls designed specifically for Zoom video calls. These include dedicated capacitive touch keys for muting and unmuting a user’s microphone, turning video on and off, screen sharing, and calling up the chat panel.
The KB900 includes standard media control keys (volume up/down, mute) as well. It also includes a bevy of other shortcut keys. It has a scissor-switch design for quieter use.
The keyboard also has an adaptive backlight that turns off in brighter conditions for improved battery life, which Dell claims lasts up to 20 days on a single charge. When the battery finally gives out, Dell states that a 1-minute charge via USB-C fast charging will give the user an entire day’s worth of Dell Keyboard Battery
The KB900 can connect to up to three devices via two Bluetooth 5.1 modes and the included 2.4 GHz USB adapter.
Dell’s Premier Rechargeable Mouse (MS900) is a sculpted wireless mouse reminiscent of Logitech’s MX Master series. It has the standard left- and right-click buttons and vertical scroll wheel on top. On the left side of the mouse, it has another wheel for scrolling horizontally, as well as a switch for the standard forward and backward shortcuts.
The MS900 can be set from 800 to 8000 DPI in 200 DPI increments for tuned-in tracking. It can also be used on almost any surface, including glass. Like the KB900, the MS900 can connect to up to three devices: two through Bluetooth 5.1 and one through an included 2.4 GHz USB dongle. The MS900 is rated to last for three months, and a 1-minute charge through USB-C will give a half-day’s use, according to Dell.
