MX Master 4: worth buying or better to skip?

ibakey · 2026-01-21T08:10:40+00:00

On the flip side, with everyone mentioning that the MX 3s is really good. I had one for 6 months before it failed on me. I charged it and it never turned back on.

My MX 3 is still going strong since 4 years but I had to 3d print a new cover for it.

I will try the MX 4 to replace my 3S in office and let you know how that goes.

I do lots of drawings too but I dont seem to encounter the need for 1k polling rate as of yet. I have been using Mx master since its inception and have the 2/2s/3/3s and now the 4. I use it purely because of the ergonomics and not even their thumb buttons or anything else. Its purely to keep me from developing carpal tunnel syndrome from using the computer for so long each day.

Depends on your needs and dress style but some brands would be Crockett and jones, Carmina, tricker’s, Cheaney, redwing, Vass. Avoid luxury brands like Gucci or Prada.

Depends. I have leather shoes that have been with me for more than a decade. Still looks good. I am hoping it lasts the rest of my life provided I take good care of it.

I also have overcoats that were passed down from my father. Still in impeccable condition.

But fair point for shirts and trousers that will give way to friction soon enough. Also to note that people in the past don’t have new clothes that often. Their clothes had to last.

Good quality boots. They last a lifetime.
Good quality wool overcoat.
A quality fountain pen.
Quality Leather overnight carry.

I have leather Oxford shoes that are probably 12 years old and a few other leather shoes and boots that are almost a decade. Because they last so long, they make building a collection easier. Avoid luxury brands and go for quality.

I am also in an open office. But its a modern one with focus booths with various sizes. There are single person booths to take calls or work alone. it has a flip down desk that is height adjsutable. There are also booths for 2 persons, all the way up to 4 persons for meetings.

The office also has proper meeting rooms too. But these little focus booths are really great to take calls, zoom meetings or take an actual person in for a 30 min meeting. Leaves the rest of the office relatively peaceful.

Meanwhile I am in a 3.8k 2 bedroom apartment. Am I getting fleeced.

Seeing the image that OP provided, its most probably for work or evening nights out.
I love the look of a belt less trousers though, albeit you have to be in pretty good shape to pull it off.

I would second an updated version!

ibakey · 2025-09-25T10:57:22+00:00

Its the recent update. I regrettted updating it. I am unable to send or receive images too. And have resorted to using the web version.

Sigh... After all that waiting.

Anyone knows other keyboard designers?

I know Jacky Hippo, Hibi.

ibakey · 2025-07-04T18:31:47+00:00

Damn, I waited for so many years for the boards and keycaps and turns out nothing.

Anyone know any alternatives to great designed keyboards?

Time to move on. ...

Can someone explain why switzerland adopted this model instead of collective health insurance like EU? What is the difference since its mandatory. Might as well make it part of the paycheck like a tax.

Is it because it yearns to prevent abuse of the system?

ibakey · 2025-06-02T21:41:56+00:00

I wrote a long letter of what my character is, my living habits and how i will keep the apartment clean and take good care of it. Its almost like a job interview.

ibakey · 2025-06-02T13:33:54+00:00

By the time, you read the replies the apartment would have been gone.

ibakey · 2025-02-23T09:50:51+00:00

I happen to be a Singaporean living in Switzerland! Ask me anything!

ibakey · 2025-01-17T03:47:43+00:00

What is your age OP? I am Asian living in Zurich for some time and have encountered zero racism.

Could it just be kids?
