Good compatibility with Windows 11!Understand that Logitech's wireless keyboard & mouse is the strongest remote work

A remote work environment that was popular in Korona-ka. Many people are creative and ingenious to build a comfortable and efficient work space at home that is as good as or better than the office. There are various approaches, such as expanding the desktop area by multi-display and preparing a microphone for smooth and stress-free online meetings, but the solution I would like to introduce this time is all about input devices such as keyboards and mice. Miniaturization and sharing.

The number of modern human work devices, such as notebook PCs, desktop PCs, and tablets such as iPads, tends to increase. Therefore, in a typical environment, you will have to reconnect the input device to each device each time you work. Alternatively, you have to have one set of mouse and keyboard for each device. However, after all, I am the only person to handle. In order to make effective use of the limited workspace, we want to use only one set of input devices. It's a good idea to buy a larger work desk, but many people don't want to put pressure on their living space.

Therefore, I would like to propose a combination of Logitech's compact wireless keyboard "MX KEYS MINI" and compact wireless mouse "MX Anywhere 3". This time, I would like to introduce the merits of Jisa Tripei (the author), who is struggling to secure a work space because his home-built PC is too large.

Space-saving combination of MX KEYS MINI and MX Anywhere 3

Logitech wireless keyboard "MX KEYS MINI" (model number: KX700). The direct sales price is 13,860 yen.In addition to the graphite in the photo, the lineup includes pale gray and rose.

Logitech wireless mouse "MX Anywhere 3" (model number: MX1700). The direct sales price is 10,780 yen. Similar to MX KEYS MINI, there are 3 colors: graphite, pale gray and rose in the photo.

The main reason why MX KEYS MINI also wants to recommend MX Anywhere 3 is that it is compact and can be handled with a Bluetooth connection, and you can switch up to 3 devices with the switch on the main unit. The size of MX KEYS MINI is 296 (W) x 132 (D) x 21 (H) mm, and MX Anywhere 3 is 65 (W) x 100.5 (D) x 34.4 (H) mm, which saves space. If you have the money to replace your work desk, using a mouse and keyboard should not overwhelm your living space and make your remote work environment more comfortable.

By the way, the author was originally a user of the full-size keyboard "MX KEYS", which is a brother model of MX KEYS MINI, but this one has a numeric keypad, so the size is 430.2 (W) x 131.63 (D) x 20.5 (H) mm, which is reasonable. The size of. Since I use the numeric keypad only occasionally, I always thought, "I don't need the numeric keypad, so it should be a little smaller." So I jumped at the MX KEYS MINI without a second.

When I immediately introduced it to my work environment at home, it fit perfectly as I expected. In the case of MX KEYS, when I wanted to use the iPad, I used to pull the keyboard somewhere and then pull the iPad to the center. If it's the MX KEYS MINI, there's space for the iPad to deploy without changing the keyboard position. Of course, it's a story of "move without wearing a keyboard," but I think the "Monogusa Move," which is a little confusing in the office, is the real thrill of remote work.

In my case, I run MX KEYS MINI on two home-made desktop PCs and three iPad Pros (11 inches, 2018). Pelling is easy, just press the key, select from the Bluetooth menu of each device while the LED is blinking, and press a few keys for authentication. After that, the changeover switch will switch the device you want to input quickly.

The MX KEYS MINI device selector switch is lined up to the right of the "esc" key in the upper left corner.

The MX Anywhere 3 device selector switch is at the bottom.Each time you press the button, the registered device is transitioned in order.

The dedicated software "Logitech Options" is convenient for managing each input device. MX KEYS MINI even displays the machine name of the switching device, so it's easy to see which device is associated with which key.

Manage your mouse and keyboard with Logitech Options.After installation, it will be detected automatically if a compatible input device is connected.

Select MX KEYS MINI and go to the "EASY-Switch" tab to see which device is assigned to which switch.
