Logitech is now bundling a Synergy-like capability with Logitech Options called FLOW Control.

The dual dongle and Bluetooth option is also a nice improvement. It's also easier to click, making it more practical to use as its own mouse button. I found that the scroll wheel feels more sure of itself, more precise. For our test, I set up the MX Anywhere 3 on my wife's side of the couch and connected it to her Mac mini and mine. Early implementations limited you to switching between multiple Logitech Unifying Receivers or multiple Bluetooth-equipped computers.Ĭompared to the MX Anywhere 2, the mouse I have been using, the new MX Anywhere 3 is a nice improvement. You hit a button on the mouse or keyboard and switch between machines. For those situations, Logitech's Easy Switch mechanism is a total win. Or we want to be able to switch between machines without a Medusa's tangle of cables. Some of you may remember those round green and purple mouse and keyboard connectors from back in the day.īut sometimes we want to share one monitor (in this case, our TV).

Fun fact: Back in the day, I bought a giant, multi-thousand dollar KVM (about the size of a PC tower on its side) for work that connected 16 computers to one monitor, keyboard, and mouse - using IBM PS/2-style connectors. The acronym KVM means Keyboard/Video/Mouse and the purpose of a KVM switch is to connect multiple computers to one set of peripherals. Many of ZDNet's readers are IT pros, so many of you will be familiar with KVM switches.
When you have to produce as much work output as I do each year, optimizing becomes mission-critical just to get it all done.Īll that brings me back to the three computers in our living room and Logitech's Easy Switch technology. One of the most important is that the more optimized your space is, the more productivity improves. My work at home environment has changed a lot over the years, and I've learned many lessons. But when we bought our house a year or so ago, we chose it knowing it had to provide work at home space.Īnd yet, here I am, typing away on the couch, in our living room. I spent most of 20 working out of a kitchen using a $50 desk. So, it's important for me to acknowledge how lucky I am to be able to work from home, and especially in pandemic times where many folks can't work at home or work at all, that I have a highly optimized and comfortable work at home space. Look, I know right about now, a bunch of you have just about reached the "it must be nice" stage of this discussion. We are also not drawn to our La-Z-Boy reclining couch. Another is hooked up to a monitor mounted on an Ergotron arm that rotates out and serves as my primary development machine.
