Sometimes practical items give one a lot of pleasure.  My retirement condo had new, but really lame MANUAL thermostats in each room.  I gotta tell ya, manual thermostats are a drag.  I installed the one shown below yesterday, so today the heat was already perfect when I got out of bed, so yeah, happy camper here.

... BUT what I've REALLY been waiting for is supposed to come in today's mail... a new TOY!  Since I have the day off, it'll be fun to play!

Those light switches are really nice.  Our home has the big wide chunky switches...probably no room for good graphics with those. 

You never know, if you have room for a bigger plate, there are already 3D printed designs available.  It's also possible to modify some of those design and add a smaller graphic.

It looks much bigger in @sramirez2008 picture.  You guys, if it isn't too much trouble, please post a link to that.  I may need it as filler to get above the $35 free shipping threshold.  Thanks.

Since I got my iPad Pro (the larger one), I had been using it with the Logitech keyboard case. For a brief time, I tried using it with a mouse and the Nuphy Air75 keyboard. I returned the keyboard as it was too big for what I wanted. Recently, I didn’t like the feel of the trackpad on the Logitech keyboard. It felt a little worn down. I decided to look into a separate keyboard (mechanical keys, low profile, Bluetooth) and mouse setup again.

I researched a little and saw that the 65% keyboard size may just be what I was looking for. I saw mechanical keyboard models by Logitech and Keychron that looked intriguing. I ended up going with the Keychron K7 Pro. The other models I considered were the Keychron K7 and Logitech MX Mechanical Mini. 

I am super happy with my choice. It’s very small and yet very comfortable to use. Typing on it feel good (I went with the hot swappable Gateron brown switches).

This looks like it could look nice with a VCS. Is it BT?

Although not a new pickup, I'm happy to see someone else using a tablet with a small physical keyboard. I've been using this combo here for a long time, and this is what I take with me on the road or vacations.  Samsung 8" Android tablet and a belkin bluetooth keyboard (geared more towards Apple, but works fine for me).  Yours is much nicer!  I may have to look into one of those.
