Mac Mice & Keyboards

In the past have always used Apple mice and keyboards with our Macs. Recently built a new home desktop hackintosh and a flakey old Mighty Mouse led me to look at other options. OMG I wish I had done this earlier. Replaced an old Apple wired keyboard with a Das Keyboard 4 Professional and it is very nice to type on. But I actually think I am going to take it to work, where lighting is brighter and more constant, and have ordered a Logitech MX Keys, which seems to be among the best of the backlit options, which is something I often wish I had when ducking in to the home office to look something up quickly without bothering to turn the lights on. I replaced my Apple Mighty Mouse with a Logitech MX Master 2S, and it is better in so many ways:

  • Ergonomics, it is comfortable
  • Good sensor that even works on glass, which is what my desk surface is, so no more mouse pads or pieces of paper
  • Better Bluetooth connection, my Mighty Mouse was at -57db, the Logitech is reading -46db, so it must have a MUCH better antenna

I have ordered a Logitech MX Master 3, which is supposed to be a little better for left to right scrolling with the thumb. The 2S will go to my office when the 3 comes in.
