Changed mouse to a small ThinkPad travel mouse; buttons kept failing on the Logitech.

Favourite notebook (price-/sizewise) atm: ThinkPad X390 (get 16GB in case you want connect a 4k display (?), like for instance the Dell S2721QS/S2721QSA line).

Since fall 2020 using an AMD Ryzen PRO 4650G APU on a µATX board in a quite large Fractal Design Define Mini C case fitting an oversized bequiet Pure Rock heat sink/fan. Basically a silent build! My since then used and still loved ThinkPad X220 just turned on its little whining fan too often in the heat of home office summer. I tried to get a used AMD 2x00G APU on a board, but found no offers; instead it seemed that I just started looking at the right time for a new Zen.

I like my small mouse, a Logitech M125 with retractable cable, but recently buttons started to not work reliably. Should I hammer my MX Browns more, instead?

Selling used stuff experience

Yesterday I put a local ad online for a mechanical keyboard (MX Red) to sell. Soon a guy mailed in with a price suggestion lowered by 20%. We met halfway: both in price and in person in town coming from two opposite directions. We both enjoyed the smooth transaction.
