I’ve a Logitech G713 wired mechanical keyboard with GX purple linear switches. It got here with the cloud wrist relaxation, which was admittedly the primary cause I purchased it over different keyboards. (I obtained a wet day-themed mouse pad from a small stationery store referred to as Unicorn Eclipse to finish the look.) I additionally preferred the tenkeyless structure; my earlier keyboard had a quantity pad and two rows of programmable keys, and although establishing macros was good, it took up approach an excessive amount of area on my desk. Plus, I solely ever used the quantity pad to enter the PC shortcut for em dashes.

I additionally obtained the matching Logitech G705 wi-fi gaming mouse, which, once more, I take advantage of wired. I used to be nervous it could be too small — it’s particularly marketed as having a “smaller match,” and my palms are a fairly common measurement — however I truly adore it!

I used to be conserving them of their packing containers till I noticed another cellphone reviewers had them organized in neat little stands, so I obtained one, and I’m unsure how I lived with out it earlier than.

I often have an enormous Logitech Ergo K860 keyboard, as I’ve had some wrist points.

The pink Logitech Raise mouse is my favourite mouse ever. I’ve spent a very long time searching for a snug mouse that doesn’t worsen my wrist, and it does the job.

I’ve a stunning quantity of Logitech gear: I take advantage of the MX Grasp 3S mouse and the MX Keys S keyboard, each of that are best-in-class so far as I’m involved.

This mouse is a Razer Basilisk V3, which is likely one of the extra ergonomic gaming mice I’ve used. I’d go for a vertical mouse, however I actually hate switching my gear round between work and gaming-optimized peripherals, and this hasn’t given me any cause to make the change.

I preferred the texture, however I’ve a Mac and was irritated in any respect the workarounds for mapping keys. An outdated coworker advisable Keychron in the course of the pandemic as a result of their keyboards are Mac-compatible — and I haven’t used one other keyboard since.
