Hey fedi, so I have this cheap doohickey for using computers away from a desk. It's got a touch pad and keys and is absolutely the right solution for the problem
But it sucks. The keys start bad and if used too much stop registering reliably, the touch pad ain't great, and it keeps losing connection to the dongle despite it being like 8 feet away
Is there some kind of premium version of these that exists? So far I've only ever seen the terrible dirt cheap ones for sale anywhere
(If you don't mind plz boost for reach I am *desperate*)
EDIT: to be clear the handheld/gamepad-like form factor is what makes this work so a more traditionally keyboard shaped device with an additional trackpad isn't really a suitable replacement
@eniko So this is the one I got: https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005005800775381.html
And even though it's definitely a cheap and similar device, I've found that one to be of surprisingly good quality.
I've not had it for long so it's possible that it'll get worse over time, but as I recognize neither the 'bad keys' problem nor the 'bad connection' problem (and the touchpad is fine, albeit small), I suspect this one may be different in some way?
@eniko (Some additional context is that I'm picky about keyboards; I get frustrated by most cheap wireless rubberdome keyboards, and use a mechanical keyboard on my desktop. So "the keyboard on this device is fine" is high praise from me, even if it's definitely no high-end keyboard :p)
