Regular readers will know that my M1 Mac mini has replaced both my 16” MacBook Pro and 27” iMac.
It has transformed my Final Cut Pro workflow. Well, add in a bunch of configuration options (per app, don’t you know), and this is a mouse that is genuinely capable of making you work faster and more efficiently. And that’s all we want from a mouse, isn’t it? In fact, this mouse feels so good, I wouldn’t think twice about calling it ergonomically-perfect. You really need to wrap your hand around one to see what I mean it’s an addictive piece of kit. Logitech’s MX Master 3 mouse has a huge, loyal following, and it’s not hard to see why. The arrival of the Mac mini finally gave me an excuse to invest in a little device about which I’d heard so much from fellow creators – particularly those who are video editors. I’ve been a trackpad user for longer than I can remember we’re talking at least a decade since I used a proper mouse. If you’d rather opt for a cheaper alternative, check out Keychron. The F96 is the perfect marriage of build quality (you won’t believe how heavy this keyboard is), function (it is hands-down the best keyboard I’ve used), and design (it gets so many comments on my YouTube channel). IQUNIX are one of those companies whose products it’s impossible not to be drawn towards. It’s not cheap, granted, but boy are you getting a lot for your money. I’ve tried several mechanical keyboards, but none come close to the IQUNIX F96.
I know absolutely nothing about them I don’t know what separates the different switches, why RGB lights exist, or how the passionate teams behind these products put them together.īut I love them and I am completely sold on the ability of a mechanical keyboard to make me a happier computer user. If there’s one thing the M1 Mac mini is responsible for, it’s getting me into mechanical keyboards.
