Our verdict
Targus suits buyers building a mixed desk and travel kit, spanning keyboard, mouse and webcam with charging output reaching 145 W on the top unit. The trade-off is breadth rather than depth, and a shopper who only wants one input device gets a wider list than they need.

Pros and cons
Pros
- Wireless is offered in the keyboards and mice line, so a desk can be set up without cables.
- The charging range holds 5,000 mAh with GaN, keeping a travel kit in one brand.
- Selling across US, CA and MX means one brand covers a buyer in most major regions.
- Spans more desk roles than 8BitDo, whose range is keyboard and mouse.
Cons
- Kensington states 1 year to lifetime of warranty against 1 year here.
- On length the term ranks 14 of 37 brands in the comparison.
- The range stops at keyboard, mouse and webcam, so a buyer who also wants screens is better served by AOC at monitor, gaming monitor and portable monitor.
- Support is limited to email, phone and help centre.
Ready to try Targus?
Scored 9.2 / 10 by GizmoCue.
Who it suits
- Shared desks that move between home and office, since keyboard, mouse and webcam covers input devices, camera and connections.
- Buyers who want a keyboard, a webcam and a charger from one vendor rather than three.
- Shoppers across US, CA and MX who prefer one warranty desk for a mixed kit.
Who should look elsewhere
- AOC, if displays are on the list, since its range reaches monitor, gaming monitor and portable monitor.
- Kensington, if warranty length decides the purchase: 1 year to lifetime against 1 year here.
- 8BitDo, if a shorter list is preferred, since its range is limited to keyboard and mouse.
What it does well
Targus sets one warranty term and holds to it: cover on the keyboards, mice and other hardware runs 1 years, a single length rather than a figure that changes with what you buy. Wireless is offered across the keyboards and mice line, so a desk can be built without a cable running back to the machine. The term is tied to the product rather than to an account, so picking up a second device later does not change it, and it reads the same way across the range.
Who runs it
Behind the range sits Targus Europe Ltd, the UK operation, with the group headquartered in the United States and trading since 1983. That length of record covers the service side. Support runs on email, phone and help centre, so a help centre handles self-service while email and phone cover cases that need a direct conversation, rather than a single queue taking everything. For a buyer weighing a keyboard, a mouse or a charging unit, the practical point is that the same desk answers for all of them.

Frequently asked questions
What does Targus actually sell?+
Targus covers the desk and the travel bag rather than a single niche. The listed product types are keyboard, mouse and webcam, and wireless is offered in the keyboards and mice line. Alongside the input devices there is a charging range, which places Targus in the same basket as a dedicated keyboard maker without committing to one specialism.
How much does Targus cost?+
Prices are set per product, and the line starts at £49.99 for entry. Higher rungs cover the docking stations, the webcams and the charging units, so that starting figure is a floor rather than the usual spend for a full desk. Compare a keyboard or mouse with a charger in the same basket before setting the budget.
Is there a subscription or a renewal price?+
Nothing in the range is sold as a subscription, so £49.99 is the price paid for the product and there is no introductory rate that later renews higher. The warranty is attached to the hardware for 1 years, which means the commitment ends with the term instead of carrying on as a recurring charge.
How long is the warranty?+
The warranty on Targus hardware runs 1 years. On length alone that is modest: the term ranks 14 of 37 brands in the comparison, and Kensington states 1 year to lifetime. What it buys is a low entry price and a stated term that does not change with the product.
Does Targus make power banks and chargers?+
Yes. The charging range sits in the same brand, with power banks holding up to 5,000 mAh and output reaching 145 W on the top unit. GaN is offered, which suits a travel kit where the charger needs to stay small. Buying a charger alongside a keyboard keeps the warranty claim with one desk.
Where can I buy Targus?+
The brand lists activity across US, CA and MX, which covers Europe, the Americas and much of Asia Pacific. The group is headquartered in the United States and the UK storefront is run by Targus Europe Ltd, so a buyer in GB and a buyer in AU are served by the same brand through regional sites.
How do I get help with a faulty product?+
Support runs on email, phone and help centre. A help centre handles routine questions in writing, while email and phone cover cases that need a person. All of it attaches to a single warranty of 1 years on the hardware, so there is one route to follow for a keyboard, a mouse, a webcam or a charging unit.
Is Targus a good fit for a home office?+
It suits a shared desk that moves between rooms: keyboard, mouse and webcam covers the input devices, the camera and the connections, and wireless is offered in the keyboards and mice line. If the desk also needs displays, AOC reaches monitor, gaming monitor and portable monitor and covers that part of the brief.
