Thinking about this pretty critically right now, for my current mental state and the amount of weird chemicals in my body, actually gently caress my university.

Oh dang, looks like Logitech actually make stuff with a replaceable USB dongle, as long as the peripheral has "Unifying". Looks like I'll be ordering a Logitech keyboard and mouse now. drat, I liked my Microsoft sculpt mouse.

drat all these Logitech keyboards suck.
The MX vertical mouse looks good though.

there are also Bluetooth peripherals

a bt dongle is not spendy if you need one

it's just that bt peripherals tend to be rarer and pricier

Bluetooth might be the way to go if this Logitech thing proves to be too expensive. I'd need a dongle. My main problem is I go through dongles like one a year or two, and always end up with bricked junk out of the deal and another hundred or two bucks spent on new peripherals. I need something that I only need to replace the dongle for when (not if) it gets broken. Microsoft doesn't do that. Logitech looks like it's relatively new (their old stuff didn't do that).

Yeah or gently caress it, just get another Microsoft sculpt mouse and keyboard combo off amazon on sale for a hundred bucks. gently caress it. Cheaper than all but the shitest logitech combos and not much more than a dice roll YNQWIE brand mystery mouse and keyboard combo.
gently caress you Microsoft and your non replaceable dongles. I'm gonna give you a hundred more bucks for your poo poo.

I love my old-rear end Logitech Wireless Desktop so much that I bought a small pile of them on eBay. I'll have the keyboards, mice, and dongles I desire forever!

Also, how the h*ck did you wreck the dongle? The main problem I have with Logitech Wireless desktops is that I wear the engraving off of the keycaps. Luckily I took typing in high school, and there's no light on my desk anyway. I have several dongles I'll never need.

Today has been a "forget to type word" day.
I blame the cats. Some of you may challenge this accusation on the grounds that I don't have any cats but that's because they don't know cats can keep owning you for years and years. "Alive" is not a requirement.

jesus never take a picture of your keyboard with flash on. i already knew i needed to replace it but woof it's grosser under those keys than i would have expected. ANYWAYS clearly i do a lot of copying, pasting, and hitting B to make byob come up.

Oh I hear you. I wouldn't dream of photographing my revolting (yet much beloved) keyboard. Suffice it to say that E, I, a, s, d, h, k, l, c, n, ., and , are all completely blank. W, o, f, j , v. m are barely there, and not readable. Somehow B is completely legible.

There is a startling lack of tiny skin flakes in that.

Apparently my skin flakes off all the time and there's nothing I can do about it. To make matters worse, work keeps getting me black keyboards, so everybody can see just how gross it is. It's embarrassing.

This may be one reason why I'm super happy with WFH.

For this one, it's stuck in the top front USB port on my case, so it sticks up about a cm from the front of the case. A dumbbell weight was dropped on it. Took our a fresh leaf on the turmeric plant growing next to it too.

I've burned out two Logitech receivers now, both with the same mouse. The battery has never needed to be replaced.

I have like four other wireless Logitech things that have been fine for years, now, so who knows.

Oh poo poo that reminded me. My very first programming job was writing a data acquisition interface in LabView. It was boring as poo poo, so one night before I went home I made a "generate burritos" button. When you pressed it, it set burritos to 5 and turned into "eat burrito", which you could hit five times before it reset.

The senior programmer overseeing my work dropped in the next day to audit what I'd been doing, and she was pissed about that button.
