Best keyboard & mouse for multiple machines?
Currently on a M705 & K270 (single USB dongle, Logitech brand).

Love everything about them --- back button on mouse, lateral scrolling, etc... keyboard has separate F1/12 row + bonus row with calculator key, power key, quick mute options, and such.

😠 But I have to unplug USB each time I switch computers.

Ideally looking for this "exact" set, but with multiple machines to make switching gears easier.

You want one set and the ability to switch between multiple machines?

Yes

Consider a KVM switch, as long as you don't need to use them simultaneously.

That was a consideration, but kvm that are worth buying tend to be more expensive than a new keyboard/mouse set anyways 😆

2 options here:
Logitech mxkeys that connect to three different machines if you want separate monitor for each main laptop. The monitors will be on separate channels - dp, hdmi, vga, etc.

Or you can use a kvm switch and connect one set of mouse and keyboard to the switch, but all monitors to the same channel and you can only see one laptop at a time.

Monitors aren't necessary, luckily.
Dreading losing my bonus row of keys to be honest. Will likely dump the $200+ for MX though. Thanks!

I recently got the Logitech m720 triathlon and it’s great. Love the feel and easy to toggle between multiple computers/devices. Just ordered a dell kb700 but haven’t gotten it yet but it got good reviews.

Definitely took the wrong job. I was offered a seriously competitive salary and great benefits to work at a well funded startup, which is great! Turns out the salary and benefits were meant as lowkey bribes to insure I worked at the company without actually doing any work. Every single suggestion I've made has been shut down and I've been ghosted for several meetings with the CEO. What should I do? Just leave?

I’ve been on the bench with J1 for about 3 months. I was worried that because I couldn’t find another project, I would get laid off so I found J2, which pays more, is very meeting heavy, but I really like. I’ve kept J1 because I’m still on the bench doing absolutely nothing and getting paid. Thinking about looking for a role on a project with J1 that’s not along my career path but will allow for me to do work with no calls so that I can manage both jobs. Does anyone have experience or advice?
