Especially in the days of Corona where most of us work from home, the work environment is often laden with products - screen, keyboard and mouse (whether or not wired), headphones, laptop and other accessories. Meanwhile, quite a few people are sometimes required to work from two different computers at the same time - like a personal computer and a laptop for work.

I ran into this problem because I wanted to maintain a tidy work environment and not overload the drawer or desk with two keyboards and two mice. So basically I thought of a simple solution - a set of keyboard and mouse that can connect to three devices at the same time with a click.

MX Master 3 mouse

Unlike the standard mouse you are familiar with at home, this is an ergonomic standing mouse. The vertical design is designed to reduce fatigue and pressure on the palm to reduce muscle tension and improve posture while working, with an elegant and impressive look. The downside: it is for right-handers only.

If you work on two different devices during the day - like a desktop computer and a laptop - you can connect it to up to three different devices. The connection is made wirelessly in the Bluetooth standard or via the Unifying Receiver, a special connector that comes inside the case. All you have to do is tap on the digit each time - 1, 2 or 3 at the bottom of the mouse - then the device in a simple scan on the device. It supports GPU connection to Macs as well as Windows.

Comfort: On  first use it feels a little weird and a little already and big, certainly if you are used to small mice. However, once I got used to it I could not go back. It sits comfortably and naturally in the hand, the material from which it is made pleasant to the touch, and I stopped giving myself a wrist massage every half hour.

In addition, the pulley has several options - slow and normal scrolling as you know it, and scrolling and fast. This means that once you pull it back tightly it will turn quickly for a few seconds and take you to the bottom of the page where you are at the moment (caution, it's addictive like a spinner).

Bottom line: The MX Master 3's communication with the computer is smooth and runs smooth, and is one of the most comfortable and best I've ever tried. Switching between devices is done with a click, and if you too have a laptop and a stationary computer, this can be a great solution.

Keys Master Plus

Connection: Like the mouse, here too the connection is made wirelessly in a Bluetooth standard or via the Unifying Receiver, only a language you will need to press dedicated buttons located at the top of the keyboard.

Comfort: The aspiration for minimalism of the Swiss company is evident in the design and weight of the keyboard. It is made of a single metal plate, which gives it an elegant and luxurious look, and as promised on the company's website thanks to a special mechanism, you will feel every tap on every key - but you will not hear it.

It is also equipped with smart lighting that automatically detects light and darkness in the work environment, and adapts itself to these conditions optimally. The keyboard also has a built-in 'battery save' mode, which will leave the lighting off when not in use. It connects to both Macs and Windows, and inside the case you will also find a removable and flexible backrest for the wrist.

Bottom line: the keyboard responds quickly and well to hard - and that sounds trivial, but I got to use keyboards that need to be pressed hard. It connects by pressing to another device that is in the work environment, and the keyboard layout is very convenient if you type quite a bit.
