Keychron K4, wireless or wired, flip a switch to change which laptop I am using it for. Brown Switches seem a nice compromise, also got it in Aluminium so it should last well.
yes
ah like the old IBM PC types? I've found Logitech sort of keyboards fine for touch typing - you not get on with them?
For most modern PCs, you'd need more than a plug adapter. Those keyboards pull a LOT of current by modern standards, and PC motherboards just aren't up to supplying it.
I used to love them bread and butter jobs, I lot of people I worked with hated them. I know it's not taxing the mind but it is nice to have a job with a start and finish.
YMMV but currently use a Logitech MX Keys (full size - I do too much Excel to want TKL like the fan boys)

What is a mechanical keyboard please?YMMV but currently use a Logitech MX Keys (full size - I do too much Excel to want TKL like the fan boys)
I did buy the razor (Pro Type Ultra), but it had to go back as it had a weird thing that the Top row keys always defaulted to brightness etc instead of the F* keys, unless you installed their Synapse software - which I couldn't do when running a locked down work laptop
The Logitech copes with both Mac and MS layout (in UK-ISO) and can be swapped by use of a long press on FN +P, without software. (downside is you can't change the keycaps as spacebar is some specific shape, also you can't change the switches)
Almost went Keychron, but read some negative stuff about bluetooth connection issues, and the full size one I wanted (K10 UK-ISO) at the time was out of stock

Thank you.It is the Lord's way of telling you you have too much money, or you have interests that are a little too ..... specific
Alternatively it is a "proper" keyboard that Is like they used to be back at the dawn of time, for us oldies
"Every key on a mechanical-switch keyboard contains a complete switch underneath. Each switch is composed of a housing, a spring, and a stem, and sometimes other parts such as a separate tactile leaf or a clickbar."

Thank you, that looks excellent. I've never used a USB hub on a monitor so that is not a problem.
I've ordered it.
It's a Christmas present from the family, which makes it even better.
Dell screens are great, but this is 4K for 169 quid

It's a good deal. Though my personal preference would be for the 75Hz QHD over 4k 60Hz at that screen size. Everyone has their own preferences though. I was always a bit bothered by 60Hz screens, but it was ages in between the death of CRT and finally getting higher refresh on LCDs.Dell screens are great, but this is 4K for 169 quid

I will have you know that my eyesight is probably better than yours. Better than 20-20 without glasses. I have plastic lenses post cataract surgery.Sasaferrato eyes probably can't tell the difference.
Tbh mine struggle a bit. I bought a 27" 1440p Samsung at the start of last year and decided I wanted another screen a similar size. My colleague got excited when the 4k LG he had went on sale, so I thought I'd get one as well. Tbh I prefer my Samsung. The colours and brightness is much nicer. So it's not just about resolution past a certain point. So the 4k is going to my partner. That said if that panel is half as nice as my Samsung that's an amazing bargain
Good luck with that, and when you find out, let me know!
It's started pestering me. And they do the usual thing - a great big "click me" button for upgrading, and some not-so-obvious link text for "no thanks, and fuck off". Which only fucks them off for a day or so.
