Sitting down, eh? What's that all about? You bend your knees and just hope something is there to catch you as you fall! So, the good folks at Flexispot have sent me their latest chair to review. Just like most modern office chairs, it is fully adjustable. But, rather than having a a set of big foam cushions, the seat, back, and head-rest are 100% mesh. It's currently on sale for £290. The …

The MS 4000 keyboard is the best typing experience that I've ever found. I have one in my home office, one in my work's office, and one spare. But, at some point in the last 18 months of working from home, my work keyboard has gone walkabout. Oh well, a good excuse to buy a new one! Except - sadly - Microsoft have discontinued it.

As good as their mice are, I wanted something …

I've written before about my love for the MS 4000 Ergonomic Keyboard. It's the only keyboard I'm comfortable typing on for extended periods of time. Sadly, one of mine has started to get a bit old and frail - the letters are rubbing off and the keys are getting a bit spongy - so I sprang for a new one. On getting the new one out of its box, I couldn't help but notice that it had undergone some…

New! Read my 2018 guide to setting up the Evoluent in Linux The Evoluent Vertical Mouse 4 costs close to £100. Let's get that out of the way. This is a pretty expensive mouse. Considering they give away basic USB mice with cornflakes, why would anyone spend the cost of a Kindle on a pointing device? Let me explain... "The two things you've got to spend your money on in life are your bed …
