As long as there's a dock so I only need to fiddle with one plug
We have docks for the laptops at work, but none for home. Now that I've been WFH for, what is it, two months now?, I could of course have fetched the one from the office... But WTH, I have that one plugged in pretty much all the time. For LRRH it would be even better, since I move it around more often, but I don't think there even is a dock for this model.
I went with wireless mouse and keyboard partly in order to simplify that hassle; both are somewhat fancy models that are supposed to be able to bluetooth-pair to different machines and switch between them at the press of a button. Doesn't seem to work that well in practice. ☹️ (OK within post body, crazypants?) On switching back to the other machine, the machine has forgotten about the peripheral and a bunch of clicking to re-pair is needed anyway. Not to worry, though, I found a solution: Both mouse and KB also support 2.4 GHz RF connections using those little USB dongles, like Logitech mice. So I have a "poor-man's dock" in the shape of a two-buck (I kid you not -- 1.95€, poor-man's indeed!) USB hub that I plugged both the receivers (and the wired Jabra mike-headphones) into, and then I just rip that out and plug it into the other one when switching machines.
