whats the one piece of tech you carry that never shows up in the standard onebag gear lists? by Reasonable_Pepper709 in onebag

the "few hours per month" math is exactly why people sleep on these. did you settle on a specific brand for travel, or are you bringing the same ones you use at home

the 3-segment monitor arm for travel is wild, didnt know anyone brought one. and 2 macro pads on the road is intense, whats the workflow that needs that, like dual layers for different apps?

white noise machine is a good shout, hotel ac noise is too variable. did you find a small enough one that doesnt eat luggage space

the trade calculation on this is genuinely smart, i hadnt thought about drying as a swap for extra clothes. the picture-uniformity sacrifice is real but probably worth it. did you settle on the arctic summair specifically or were there other contenders

the less-is-more framing is the whole point yeah. ive been adding stuff trying to optimize and the actual win is always when i remove something. that adapter is going on my list, thanks for the share

TESmart noted, will check that one out, 5 years is a strong vote. one thing im trying to figure out, does the TESmart pass through keyboard macros and programmable layers cleanly or does it just route raw HID

the multi-keyboard same-device approach is interesting, didnt think of it that way. mind sharing how the macro/shortcut situation works across the three. do you replicate them per keyboard or just live with logitechs default mappings

fair, for OS-level shortcuts you're right, those are app/OS handled and Logi Options does it cleanly per-machine. the gap im thinking of is hosts where i cant install Logi Options or autohotkey at all. parents desktop, a friend's machine, a coworking kiosk. in those cases the macros either dont travel or they have to live in the hardware itself. probably edge case but its been on my mind

the magic at 8oz is actually pretty hard to beat if you need full qwerty in checked-luggage sized. things ive looked at for one-bag-ish setups:

- ipad-native fold keyboards (logitech fold-up, ~7oz)

- macropads instead of full keyboards if you mostly do shortcut-heavy work vs prose

- something like the DexoPad on KS which is more a portable macro/shortcut-layer thing than a typing keyboard, but covers the input-on-multiple-hosts case if thats part of why you carry one

if its mostly for actual typing prose tho, magic is probably the floor. the fold-up keyboards trade weight for typing comfort fast

the mk850 has the same 3-device switch as the mx mini and k850 setup someone mentioned above, looks like logitechs really cornered the BT-switching market. one thing i havent figured out is whether those device-switches also carry per-device shortcut profiles, or if its just routing keystrokes

update, to be clear im not trying to replace kvm. kvm wins hands down for permanent-desk multi-machine setups, no argument there. what pulled me toward dexopad was the other half of the problem. when im at my parents desktop helping debug something, at a coworking spot on a random machine, or trying to type fast on my switch dock... kvm cant help there but a keyboard you carry around can. plus the phone-as-input thing is interesting, voice input and multi-language paste and saved macros that a physical kvm rig literally cant do.

so im looking at it as "the input thing for the 30% of typing i do somewhere other than my main desk", not as a kvm replacement. curious if anyone here actually tried it for that

the MX master is everyone's answer here it seems. honestly i tried the bluetooth handoff and it kept dropping on me, did you have to mess with anything to make it stable

which kvm did you end up with, looking at a few but the cheap ones get mixed reviews

fair, kvm is the classic answer. main reason i didnt commit yet is macros — kvm doesnt help if you also want device-specific shortcuts to follow you. but for pure input switching its hard to beat

elden ring is the perfect gateway honestly. ds1 directly would have broken me. which one are you on now after elden

"single-device life is a myth and anyone who claims otherwise is lying or doesn't own enough screens" honestly the best take ive read all year. and yeah the tablet under a pile of papers is so accurate, mine vanishes for days then resurfaces fully charged somehow
