Extra Info: The second monitor works fine for documentation, but I have gotten a few design contracts lately and the color accuracy on it is pretty rough. At first it worked with only the USB-C cable, but lately I have had to use USB-C + HDMI. I have gotten better at using a window tiling manager, and gotten rid of my addiction to second screening video content, so I have been pondering dropping the second screen. I have tried a few keyboards, the nuphy is fine. The feet keep falling off because I pack it up and move, but super glue fixes it. There is a smaller nuphy that might have been a better choice, I don't need the function row. The mouse has been good so far, I carry around 2 usb c AA batteries. I pondered subbing out second screen for a tablet. I fit everything into a 25L Tom Bihn Synapse.
External mouse [1], keyboard and Nexstand and I could work for 8 hours just like back home.
[1] Tried Mx Keys, 3 or 4 different Logi mice, settled on Magic keyboard mini and mx anywhere 3 (or M650L) for now. And I have to use the dongle thing so that it doesn't interfere with the Airpods.
