199. New Keyboard Mouse 中
The cover photo shows the Logitech MX Mechanical (Brown Switch) keyboard and MX Master 3s mouse I bought last week—both “For Mac” versions in white.

TikTok vs. Kuaishou

This sspai article echoes today’s cover photo. There’s also one on picking keyboards. Honestly, most Mac users eventually end up back with the Magic Keyboard and Trackpad. Hahaha.
