I fell into the mechanical keyboard trap and there is absolutely no way id go back to a regular keyboard

[clementfilancia]

Great video, loved it ! Please make more indeed

[philippfakler]

interesting devices, the ring is something i could use so thank you for mentioning it!

On the Boox, I'm currently looking into the Nova Air2, specifically because I can read Kindle, Nook, and any other e-reader software, I can draw with it, but mostly because I should be able to run Notion on it. In that way, I can switch to it for my evening reading, planning, and shut down, but without the blue screen issues keeping me away. That kindle can't run Notion is the thing that stops me buying it

Thanks for sharing though I am fairly certain you are the only person I have heard pronounce Boox as box and not books. 😂 I really did find your experiences interesting and will definitely keep them in mind for my own potential tech upgrades/updates.

8:00 I love the four macro keys, I use Discord for role-play games and semi a dedicated push to talk button. Also play shadow run so I’m able to have a ¥ symbol. I also also have a dash (—) and ™. So I’m very happy.

Maybe I should give the mechanical keyboard a shot, I think that would be fun! My personal favorite tech accessory is my HomeFi hotspot. I didn't know what exactly to expect, but it's been super reliable and I prefer using my hotspot to insecure public networks. Thanks for the video!

vertical mice are honestly one of those things where if we redesigned things to be ergonomic from the start, we would be using them as the default. just like if we redesigned keyboard layouts from scratch qwerty would never be the default

[xRCxErikx]

PLEASE are you able to share setting of you LOG mouse?
I have to buy that one and have a problem with some horizontal interactions (eg. MS planner etc.)

[deuce]

This is fun, I own many of these things for my work setup at home.

I have the Logi Lift for traveling for work, and the large sibling the MX Vertical for my permanent setup. Handshake mice FTW.

I have AfterShokz headphones, and while they’re great, they do not play well with latest iterations of Microsoft Teams… have your mic muted during a call? The Aftershokz annoyingly beep in constantly to remind you of it.

I don’t have that particular model Boox tablet, but have the Tab Ultra - worth every penny!

[brownmasao]

The keychron is too expensive for what you get...if you don't care about via/qmk compatibility, then go for an akko which are normally at least 50 % cheaper.

A question: are these super high keyboards are good for your wrists without a wristband? I can see that your wrists are 5 cm above the table just to type - it looks weird and feels like it will strain your wrists quite a bit.

[molliegibson]

I know it’s a tech channel. I watch it all the time. And it’s a strange ask. But I love the astronaut shirt. Where could I find it?

[RobertBarry]

I am peome to ear infections and I love my openrun shokz. I use them all day at work and forget I’m wearing them.

[SoleLo]

What is the watch that you are wearing?

[ChenKen]

My issue with bone conducting earphones is the volume being really low when it's even a little loud around

[bruhzzer]

that's not a 65% keyboard as it has a function row and macro keys, it's more of a modified and reduced tkl (or 80%)

[Hagarainen]

Man you need a palm rest! My hands are dying if I work like you😢 nice content thanks for it!🤘🏻

[DanBuell]

Where did you get your desk? It looks like, but not very ergonomic...

[WdawgSmith]

I love how most of the comments are along the lines of “you shouldn’t be reviewing this stuff or this stuff is too expensive”

Guys do you understand what review videos are ? They are not tailored to your personal preferences and/or what you currently use If they were You would already have every item that was reviewed on the internet
