Full transparency on how we earn money, why it never influences our recommendations, and exactly what affiliate links mean for you as a reader. Read this once and you will know exactly where ErgogadgetPicks stands.
ErgogadgetPicks.com is a participant in the Amazon Services LLC Associates Program, an affiliate advertising program designed to provide a means for sites to earn advertising fees by advertising and linking to Amazon.com and affiliated sites. As an Amazon Associate, we earn from qualifying purchases.
When you click on a product link on our site and make a purchase on Amazon, we may receive a small commission — at no additional cost to you. The price you pay is exactly the same as it would be if you had gone to Amazon directly.
Bottom line: Affiliate commissions help keep ErgogadgetPicks running and free to read. They do not influence which products we recommend, how we rank them, or what we say about them.
Every product link you see on ErgogadgetPicks is what is known as an affiliate link. These links are tagged with a unique tracking ID so that Amazon knows the visit came from our site. If you go on to buy that product (or any other product on Amazon during the same session, depending on Amazon's cookie window), we receive a small percentage of the sale.
You will never pay more because of an affiliate link. The price, the shipping, the return policy, and the customer service are all handled directly by Amazon. We never see your payment details, your address, or any personal information about your purchase.
Commission rates on Amazon vary by product category, but they are typically a small single-digit percentage of the sale price. For most home office and ergonomic products, this works out to a few dollars per qualifying purchase. We are transparent about this because some readers assume affiliate sites earn enormous sums per click — the reality is that this is a small revenue stream that covers hosting, testing equipment, and the time we spend producing thorough reviews.
This is the section that matters most. Our editorial process is the same whether a product earns us a commission or not.
Before we recommend any product, we research the entire category — bestsellers, niche brands, expert reviews, manufacturer specifications, and community forum feedback. We build a longlist of every serious contender, not just the products that are easy to monetize.
We use the products on our actual desks, often for several weeks before we finalize a review. This is the only way to surface the issues that do not appear in spec sheets — long-term comfort, build durability, software quality, customer support responsiveness, and how a product holds up to daily use.
Every product is scored against the same ergonomic benchmarks for its category — wrist angle, lumbar support, screen height, posture impact, adjustability range, and so on. These benchmarks come from established ergonomics research, not marketing claims.
The product that scores highest on ergonomics, build quality, and value gets the top pick — regardless of whether that product is the most expensive, the most well-known, or the most lucrative for us to promote.
Important: If a product underperforms in our testing, we say so — even if it pays us a commission. If a budget product outperforms a premium one, we will tell you that too. The whole point of ErgogadgetPicks is to be the honest source readers cannot find anywhere else.
To make our standards explicit, here is what is not part of how we operate:
Producing thoroughly tested, honest reviews of physical products takes time and money. We buy or borrow products to test, we keep this site online, and we update reviews as the market changes. Affiliate revenue is what makes that possible without putting our content behind a paywall or filling the site with intrusive ads.
The trade is simple: you get free, in-depth reviews. We get a small percentage of any sale you make through our links. Both sides benefit, and crucially, your trust is the only thing that keeps that arrangement working — which is why we treat editorial independence as the rule we never break.
Most product links on our site lead to Amazon and are affiliate links. You can typically identify them by:
Where space allows, we also display the disclosure banner at the top of each page so the relationship is impossible to miss.
This disclosure is published in compliance with the U.S. Federal Trade Commission's Endorsement Guides, which require websites and influencers to clearly and conspicuously disclose any material connection between themselves and the products they review or promote. Our affiliate relationship with Amazon is exactly that kind of material connection, and we disclose it on every product page, in our footer, and on this dedicated disclosure page.
While Amazon Associates is by far our primary affiliate relationship, we may occasionally participate in other reputable affiliate programs for products that are not available on Amazon — for example, certain premium ergonomic chairs or specialized split keyboards sold direct from the manufacturer. When we link to any product through any affiliate program, the same editorial standards apply, and the disclosure on this page covers those relationships as well.
Prices and product availability on Amazon change constantly. We do our best to keep our recommendations current, but we cannot guarantee that any specific price you see in our reviews matches what is shown on Amazon at the moment you click through. The price displayed on Amazon at checkout is always the price you pay — we have no ability to adjust or override it.
Similarly, products go out of stock or get discontinued without notice. If you click an affiliate link and find a product unavailable, please let us know via our contact page so we can update the review with a current alternative.
If anything on this page is unclear, or you would like to know more about how a specific review was conducted, please reach out via our contact page. We are happy to explain our process or address any concerns about a particular recommendation.
Transparency is the whole product here. The reviews are only useful if you can trust them, and you can only trust them if we are honest about how the site works.
Thank you for supporting ErgogadgetPicks. Every click and every purchase made through our links helps us keep producing honest, in-depth reviews of the gear that makes home offices work better. We do not take that support for granted.
