I have been creating a new experimental computing setup during this vacation. The components are:
1.
2.
Arteck Portable Mini Foldable Wireless Keyboard
3.
4.
Logitech M570 Wireless Trackball Mouse
5.
Sinstar USB C OTG Adapter, 2 in 1 USB-C Splitter
6.
Water Resistant Zipper Document Holder
The tablet I already had for a bit. The mouse I have had for years. The canvas zipper bag to carry the setup - I own three of these because it is quality and I find it useful for my travels. The OTG adapter is a splitter that allows charging the tablet while also connecting the mouse dongle.
I am of course running termux on the tablet. Emacs in conjunction with
and my dropbox account keeps my agenda synced to all devices, I use
on my android phone. Other software includes mpd running in termux and an android
for music.
for video (I have several movies loaded on an SD card).
for Doom I/II and
for Quake I/II (legit the only video games I have ever gotten into).
for podcasts and
for image boards. That's about it.
The screen is large for video, and nice for termux. The performance is not bad for the items I am running. The price for everything is less than $150, however, in the future the tablet is the only item that likely needs repurchasing. Even that seems like a distant in time thing. The keyboard is not cramped, and has a metal chassis. The tablet stand is likewise metal and folds flat taking up very little space. All in all I am so far pleased with this setup.
