Top Tips for Working From Home

Codeidoscope on March 13, 2020

I love working from home. I like the peace and quiet it brings me, and how much more focused and productive I can be when I'm not in an open-space ...

Great post! A well-organized timetable is the key for me to work properly at home. Task management software helped me keep up with my schedule and track my progress! I'd love to recommend Todoist, Wrike, and Quire.

Have other switches been used when choosing a keyboard? Why did the choice fall on the reds?

I guess I should write an article about mech keyboards! :D

I used a switch tester to figure out what I’d prefer typing on. My flatmate uses blues and browns and both were too noisy for my liking, so I picked reds because they’re softer and quieter.

The Kailh box are great as well because the box stem means they stabilise the keycap more so it doesn’t move when you type. 10/10 would recommend.

Just a quick update, I ended writing a series on mechanical keyboards that you can read here if you're interested!

Love the keyboard! How are the response times with the Mac Sidecar setup?

It’s excellent! There’s no lag at all between the Mac and the iPad (unless my internet drops, haha) and it doesn’t use up nearly as much battery as I expected it to. I use an iPad Pro and it will go a whole work day using Sidecar with no charge (assuming it was fully charged at the start of the day)
