But for $16.99, it might just be an idea to keep one around to switch to when your wrist starts to act up.Synergy drove me nuts so I fell back to what I always find is the best solution: hardware. I find vertical mice a bit more comfortable than traditional mice, but I also make a lot more mistakes because I'm so very used to traditional mouse movements. It doesn't have the second scroll wheel, but it is a vertical mouse, so it might actually be better for your wrist. VictSing Wireless Mouse : This is $16.99 instead of the $59.99 to $99.99 of the MX Master 3. And it has RGB lighting, where the MX Keys has somewhat more sedate white backlighting. It has full-press mechanical keys, where the MX Keys has softer press keys. It's wired, where the MX Keys is wireless. VictSing Mechanical Keyboard : At $39.95 instead of $99.99, this couldn't be more different from the MX Keys. None of them support switching between computers, but I've had the chance to test them and they're quite nice, especially for the price. To remedy that, I'd like to spotlight a few devices sent to me by VictSing.
Tips for working from home (TechRepublic)Īre we prepared for a permanent switch to remote working?

I've recommended the MX series in my Best Home Office Gear feature earlier this year. There is no doubt the Logitech devices are top-notch. I haven't had these new units for long, but so far they've been quite impressive in terms of how long they hold their charge. We weren't able to use it to move between my wife's machine and mine, because the two machines had different logged-in users.Īll three MX devices charge with USB C rather than the Micro USB connectors previous Logitech mice and keyboards used. It should be noted this works perfectly between two machines operated by one user. Then paste, and the item you had on your clipboard will move between the two machines. Cut or copy something on the first computer, move your mouse to the screen's edge and jump to the second computer. You can also cut and paste between computers. Some of you may remember those round green and purple mouse and keyboard connectors from back in the day. Fun fact: Back in the day, I bought a giant, multi-thousand dollar KVM (about the size of a PC tower on its side) for work that connected 16 computers to one monitor, keyboard, and mouse - using IBM PS/2-style connectors. The acronym KVM means Keyboard/Video/Mouse and the purpose of a KVM switch is to connect multiple computers to one set of peripherals. Many of ZDNet's readers are IT pros, so many of you will be familiar with KVM switches. When you have to produce as much work output as I do each year, optimizing becomes mission-critical just to get it all done.Īll that brings me back to the three computers in our living room and Logitech's Easy Switch technology.
