First up is samsungs note 10. In a nutshell fun af, and complete, It's old phone that feals modern af. love the option to use a stylus for notes. It's a chonker of a phone. This one was refurbed*. It came from amazon and it's good as new. fantastic reception. and yeah just a cool phone. android
A external keyboard: (don't have a link atm): Omg what a difference for quick texts when going to googles messages from the web is overkill. The one I have Is more meant for inplace typing. and meant to be used with a case and I think on a desktop or something. Sigh RIPish phones with keyboards. Elecom Deft: <https://www.amazon.com/dp/B08GQZVH78?ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_product_details&th=1> (arg gmails weird way to format!!): at any rate: in short? love it. It's trackball. I had one like it for a few years before it broke. I got it on impulse because I got frustrated with the small mousing area of my desk. It pleasantly surprised me how fast I adjusted. This one is wireless which is fantastic when you have a small space. I have no clue about the mechanical side. Just after a week and change of use it's my favorite mouse so far. I've tried one with a bajillion dpi and polling rates and blah blah. but this relatively simple guy is just...fun? to use. I haven't tried it with games yet. if it's like the other trackball I suspect i'll be good. Has function buttons, I think those are for macros. All in all just great. uses 2.4 ghtz usb dongle to connect and a AA battery. *I've gotten to prefer used gizmos because of being very concerned about the environment. Back to our regularly scheduled geek out about Ai.
