What Mechanical Keyboard Should I Get?

Mechanical keyboards have become increasingly popular due to their durability, customization options, and satisfying feel and sound. One of the key decisions to make when choosing a mechanical keyboard is deciding on the layout that best fits your needs. Keyboard layouts vary in size and functionality, and understanding the differences can help you find the perfect match for your typing or gaming experience. In this blog, we'll explore the most common mechanical keyboard layouts and guide you in choosing the right one.

Common Mechanical Keyboard Layouts

Full-Sized Keyboard (100%)

Overview:

A full-sized keyboard includes all the keys you would expect on a standard keyboard—104 to 108 keys in total. This layout includes the alphanumeric keys, function keys, arrow keys, a number pad, and other special function keys.

Pros:

Full-sized keyboards are ideal for users who need a dedicated number pad, such as data entry professionals or gamers who use macros and shortcuts.

Cons:

They are large and can take up significant desk space, which may not be ideal for minimalistic setups.

Tenkeyless (TKL) Keyboard (87%)

Overview:

Tenkeyless keyboards remove the number pad, resulting in a smaller and more compact form factor, typically with around 87 keys.

Pros:

TKL keyboards save desk space and are more portable, making them great for gamers and professionals who don’t need a number pad. They also allow for more ergonomic mouse positioning.

Cons:

The lack of a number pad might be a dealbreaker for users who frequently input numerical data.

75% Layout

Overview:

A 75% keyboard is slightly more compact than a TKL keyboard, with all the necessary keys in a tighter, more efficient arrangement. Arrow keys and function keys are still present but placed closer to the alphanumeric section.

Pros:

The 75% layout offers a balance between functionality and size. It's compact enough to save space while still providing access to essential keys.

Cons:

Due to the more condensed layout, some keys may be in unfamiliar positions, which could take some time to get used to.

65% Layout

Overview:

A 65% keyboard cuts out even more keys, including the function row, but retains the arrow keys and some important navigation keys like Page Up, Page Down, and Delete.

Pros:

This layout is excellent for users who want a compact keyboard but still need essential navigation keys for productivity or gaming.

Cons:

The lack of a function row may frustrate users who rely on those keys for certain tasks.

60% Layout

Overview:

One of the smallest layouts, the 60% keyboard eliminates the function keys, arrow keys, and navigation cluster. It typically only retains the alphanumeric section and modifier keys (Shift, Ctrl, etc.).

Pros:

The ultra-compact size makes it perfect for users with limited desk space, and it’s highly portable. It’s popular with minimalist setups and gamers who rely on fewer keys.

Cons:

The missing arrow and function keys can be a significant drawback for productivity users. Some functions are accessed through key combinations, which may slow down workflows.

40% Layout

Overview:

The 40% keyboard takes minimalism to the extreme, removing not just the number pad and function keys, but also the number row. Users rely heavily on function layers and shortcuts.

Pros:

Extremely compact and portable, making it ideal for users who prioritize desk space and portability.

Cons:

This layout has a steep learning curve due to the heavy reliance on key combinations. It’s not suitable for those who need fast and direct access to many keys.

Specialty Layouts

Split Keyboards

Overview:

Split keyboards, also called Alice and Arisu; are designed to reduce wrist strain and promote a more ergonomic typing posture by splitting the keyboard into two halves. Some users find them more comfortable for extended typing sessions, though they take some time to adjust to.

Pros:

Offers improved ergonomics by allowing a natural hand and wrist position. Helps with arm and shoulde ralignment

Cons:

Learning curve can be hard and gruesome. Less portable than other keyboards and more expensive as layout is unusual.

Ortholinear Keyboards

Overview:

Unlike standard staggered keyboards, ortholinear layouts have keys arranged in straight vertical columns. They’re popular among users who believe the grid-like arrangement improves typing efficiency.

Pros:

More efficient and ergonomic typing by aligning keys in straight columns, which can reduce finger movement and strain for some users.

Cons:

The unusual key arrangement can require a steep learning curve, as it differs from the staggered layout most people are accustomed to, making the transition challenging. Additionally, fewer models and customization options are available, limiting choices for users seeking more variety.

How to Choose the Best Mechanical Keyboard Layout for You

Consider Your Workload and Habits

If you frequently work with numbers, such as in data entry or accounting, a full-sized keyboard might be a necessity. For general office tasks, a TKL or 75% layout offers a balance between functionality and compactness.

For gamers, compact keyboards like 60% or 65% layouts can provide more room for mouse movement, which can be a critical factor in fast-paced gaming.

Desk Space and Portability

If you have limited desk space or frequently travel with your keyboard, smaller layouts like 60% or 65% can be ideal. These options offer more portability while still retaining essential keys.

For a stationary setup with ample desk space, the full-sized or TKL keyboards may be more comfortable to use for extended periods.

Ergonomics and Comfort

For users concerned with wrist strain, ergonomic keyboards like split or ortholinear keyboards can be worth considering. These layouts are designed to promote natural hand and wrist positioning, reducing discomfort during long typing sessions.

Aesthetic and Personal Preference

Layout preference can also come down to aesthetics. If you prefer a clean, minimal look for your workspace, a 60% layout might fit that vision. If you value symmetry and uniformity in key placement, an ortholinear keyboard might be appealing.

Additionally, consider whether you enjoy customizing your keyboard with keycaps and switches. Some smaller layouts might offer fewer customization options due to their compact size.

The best mechanical keyboard layout ultimately depends on your specific needs, preferences, and usage habits. Whether you're a gamer looking for a compact layout, a professional who needs a number pad, or someone who values portability, there's a mechanical keyboard layout that can enhance your typing experience. Take the time to consider how you use your keyboard daily, and you'll be able to make a decision that balances functionality and comfort.

Happy typing!

Keyboard shortcuts

The keyboard shortcuts in actual use are clearly historically contingent and path dependent - there are no standards, which means there are no ways to avoid conflict - even if you want to!

That is - unless you know every shortcut for the operating system you are compiling for and the operating system doesn't add more shortcuts and no third party programs are installed that were unaware of your presence.

EDIT:

Post got Long, it's under a readmore now so it won't clutter your dash

But please do read it if you have software opinions.

---

Hardware thinks (shortcut) means A

Operating system thinks (shortcut) means B

Background service thinks (shortcut) means C

Browser thinks (shortcut) means D

Open browser tab thinks (shortcut) means E

---

Hot garbage!

In the interest of avoiding conflicting commands it would be great if people could agree on some standards.

I feel like, with [super] and [ctrl] and [alt] and [shift] and [Esc] and [space] and [Fn] - it ought to be possible to do some deconflicting here!

Since the operating system is in control of the keyboard, it can impose those standards unilaterally - it would be chaos during the transition but the future would be much better.

Except no! Inherently impossible!

Because the user will - once again - install third party software and even if we get excellent deconfliction between layers, if you install two different background services that both did their due diligence and ensured that the operating system didn't use ctrl+shift+q+w+g - it is functionally impossible for them to know about each other

Still, I want to sketch something.

NB: I've never used a Mac, maybe Steve Apple solved all of this decades ago for his platform, it seems like the kind of thing he would do. I'm gonna write like he didn't though.

The domain

I'm seeing two ways users interact with software - background/foreground - and two types of software they're interacting with - hosts and clients.

The terms are necessarily underspecified but think along the lines of

Background/Foreground

Is this shortcut supposed to consistently do the same thing every time I use it (for the OS or some background service) or might it do different things depending on which app I currently have focused?

This is muddled by the fact that the background modes have active modes e.g. if you have Nvidia Shadowplay running in the background, listening for input that tells it to turn on or off, you probably also have an Nvidia Shadowplay app that you can actively focus on.

In that case, the software is simply counted twice - it has a persistent background component and a separate component that might or might not be focused.

Host/Client

The difference between Host and Client is essentially whether the developer is responsible for intermediating with third party software. This is obviously recursive[1], I am going to pretend it isn't though.

Hardware

To the extent that your hardware sends messages to your operating system, those can be ignored for the purpose of this diagram. To the extent that your operating system sends messages to your hardware, the hardware can be treated like a persistent background service.

Scenario

You are writing code in an IDE.

Four pieces of software have five different uses for the key "e"

Your OS wants E to mean "Open default Email client."

Your Emoji Picker background service wants E to open the "Pick Emoji" dialog.

Your IDE is currently in focus and wants E to open the Project Explorer pane.

Your IDE has a plugin that format your current tab according to your Editorconfig file.

And finally: You just plain need the letter "e" in your source code.

Today: Any fucking thing might happen depending on how those different apps and plugins have their hotkeys set up.

But let us consider:

[super]+[e] opens the email client.

[super]+[shift]+[e] opens the emoji picker

[ctrl]+[e] opens the Project Explorer pane

[ctrl]+[shift]+[e] formats according the editorconfig

[e] inserts the letter "e" into the source code.

Enforcement between OS, Third party service and active client.

How do you prevent the emoji picker from squatting on [ctrl]+[shift]+[e] and fucking it all up? Especially if it is written by a third party who didn't get the memo?

Easy.

If you press [ctrl]+[shift]+[e] the emoji plugin never sees it. When the emoji picker event loop asks for new events, those WM_KEYDOWN events aren't on the list.

"How?"

From the perspective of the OS, there are three groups of software that may need to know about key events

First party background software (The OS and OS services)

Third party background software (like the Emoji picker)

Active focused client software (First or third party)

When you input a key sequence:

The OS reads through the keys:

If [super] is present, check for [shift]

If [shift] is present in the key sequence, the key events go into the Third Party pool. On receiving them, the Emoji Picker opens the Emoji dialog.

Else only [super] is present in the key sequence: The key events go into the OS private pool, where they are made available only to first party background services. The "default email" hook fires.

Else [super] is not present in the sequence: The key events go into the "focused client" pool, which is made available only to the single, currently active, focused client. They are read by the IDE.

Enforcement within active client

Write it correctly lmao

But it is just recursively the same problem! Please do the same thing!

When the IDE reads the key events out of the OS, it checks for the presence of [ctrl]

If [ctrl] is present, check for [shift].

If [shift] is present in the sequence, the key events go into the plugin pool. Upon receiving them, the formatter activates

Else only [ctrl] is present. The key event goes into the IDE's private pool. The IDE opens the Project Explorer pane.

Else [ctrl] is not present in this key sequence. The key events go into the active editor tab which inserts a single 'e' in the current file.

---

Expanding the shortcut configuration space

"What about [alt]?" Is that button just irrelevant? [Esc]? [Fn]?

Nah, nah. You can do a bunch with all of them. They're fundamentally the same as the shift key here. Maybe the OS reserves for itself the space of all shortcuts like [super]+[letter/number] and [super]+[alt]+[letter/number], and every other shortcut that starts with [super] is available for third party background services. Maybe clients that support plugins (browsers that support sending key events into websites) reserve [ctrl] only and everything else is fair game. However it shakes out.

Really, this is too strict, too. The purpose of the exercise is not to hobble third party background services or third party plugins, it is more to reserve a space to ensure various things don't conflict. Insofar as it can be done without leading to conflicts, you can be much more lax than this.

The two issues that brought this on are both VSCode related, because VSCode has two shortcuts.

Well, it has a lot of shortcuts. But it has two specific shortcuts that I want to talk about: [ctrl]+[b] and [ctrl]+[shift]+[e].

In the Linux keymap (VSCode has three separate keymaps for windows/linux/mac) [ctrl]+[b] opens the side pane, and [ctrl]+[shift]+[e] opens the project explorer window.

Except not for me they don't.

I am writing this text in markdown, and I have a markdown plugin installed. Somewhat reasonably, the markdown plugin feels [ctrl]+[b] should bold the selected text (that is, insert ** on both sides of the text.) And VSCode gives priority to the plugin - when my active editing pane is on a markdown document, I cannot open/close the side pane.

And the fucking IBUS emoji picker is squatting on [ctrl]+[shift]+[e]. Across the whole OS! "Yeah no matter what you're doing, you're probably gonna need emoji so we're taking first claim on incredibly ergonomic real estate for an incredibly niche use case" who the fuck accepted that pull request into my distro?

And, like, is Microsoft going to change the default key bindings for VSCode on Linux because of that insane decision? No of course not.

Are they going to change their idiocy - just to stop inconveniencing Microsoft users? Yeah that is not how I am modeling the situation unfolding I must admit.

That sucks! Shit sucks! And the only good solution is for the OS to say "We are laying absolute claim to (this namespace) for OS and background services and we are giving third parties absolute claim to (that namespace).

Which they're not gonna do but I can waste a day writing about the perfect world I want to live in.

Lethal Company Terminal Macros

I hope everyone has had a magnificent holiday season. My enjoyment, among more conventional Christmas conduct, has also come from contributing to Lethal Company's popularity boom.

From the ominous aesthetic to its simplicity, I have much praise I can give this game, but by far the most foremost is the way the game so tightly incorporates player communication. As an indicator of being alive it actively encourages banter to at minimum verify one's livelihood, making it all the funnier when abruptly interrupted by someone's quietus.

I’ve also been charmed by the game’s terminal, whose functionality further enhances team communication. The 4 person team where one person uses the terminal monitor to guide players and lock monsters behind shutters is one of my favorite dynamics to play in. When done right, players can avoid getting lost and getting team-wiped is virtually not a threat.

Become Lethal Company Youtuber Wurps made an excellent video on terminal usage. I recommend watching it, (as well as his radar-booster video), as they pertain to this post and demonstrate well the power of the terminal.

The video brings up the usefulness of macros for the terminal guy but doesn’t really provide a lot in terms of how to obtain them. Understandably, there are many means to get them. This post offers my option, accessible hopefully to folks who haven’t looked into macros before.

I’ve done a rough, broad evaluation of the macros other folk were using before deciding I’d rather design my own set. I attempted to have it be snappy, free, usable without mods, work on any hardware, and easy to adjust. The macros I wrote made my terminal use more comfortable and enjoyable and I hope they can assist others as well.

FULL USE GUIDE

Download and Install LibreAutomate

Download this script file, by yours truly

Open LibreAutomate, select File> Export, import> Import zip… and select the downloaded zip file.

Find the “LETHAL COMPANY TERMINAL SHORTCUTS�� script in LibreAutomate and press Run

Open Lethal Company, make sure you are playing in Windowed Fullscreen (or Windowed) in settings.

In game, use the keys F1 through F10 and Shift+F1 through Shift+F10 to accelerate terminal commands.

When done playing, end the script or close LibreAutomate to revert functionality of the F keys.

After hours of play-testing I’ve set on this command configuration:

(made for v45, if later versions add more commands, consider looking for an updated script that re-prioritizes shortcuts)

F1: SWITCH F2: VIEW MONITOR Shift+F1: SWITCH playername Shift+F2: pop-up dialog to input playername F3: disable list of turrets Shift+F3: pop-up dialog to input list of turrets Shift+F7: Forbidden macro from the Wurps video. Avoid using if possible. F4: PING radar-booster Shift+F4: pop-up dialog to input radar-booster name(s) F5 and Shift+F5: FLASH radar-booster (shift is a bit slower but works better) F6: TRANSMIT _ Shift+F6: clears command line F7: SCAN F8: STORE Shift+F8: pop-up dialog to input full shopping list F9: MOONS Shift+F9: MOONS then COMPANY then CONFIRM (w/o enter) F10: STORAGE Shift+F10: BESTIARY

I hope this helps boost enjoyment and prowess with the terminal. Best of fortune to anyone attempting to fill the role of terminal guy in-game!

I have had the pleasure of teaching gen Z co-workers on how to do certain processes/use certain technology and this absolutely tracks. 95% of the time, it's really not the case that they're lazy, or don't want to learn. It's mainly the case that they haven't either been taught it, or their "technology environment" hasn't involved having to use various desktop systems that many businesses use, or that even late millennials like me use. I was lucky in that I grew up messing around with, and using, a lot of the tools necessary for me to do my old job reasonably well.

- Want to make a god-awful Sonic the Hedgehog sprite-comic to impress your 10 year old class-mates because you think it makes them laugh? Get good at using Microsoft Publisher, sprite editing using Microsoft Paint, GIMP , and "surfing the web" on that new-fangled Google thing to find all the fan-forums where people are ripping sprites.

- Want to calculate the best trade routes in an online 18th century trading MMO? Want to calculate the right formula to make that Garry's mod automated rocket launching system? Excel/LibreOffice Spreadsheets. Spreadsheets for days, and you can use the formula system to MASS PRODUCE the numbers. It's like goddamn magic, (except when you mass produce the errors, and your whole model falls apart). - Want to print a giant geological map? Get used to the nightmare that is a large A0 plotter, learning about trim and bleed sizes and essential maintenance. Get ready to cry at the price of an ink cartridge. Get ready to scream as the several-foot long map is printed at an A3 size, on an A0 page, because you forgot to adjust one of the two sets of internal Windows vs printer driver settings.

Even using a desktop computer. You might have guessed I'm a massive computer nerd. It makes it so much easier to do a wide variety of jobs knowing how to use shortcuts, having a high wpm keyboard typing speed and being able to automate parts using auto-hotkeys and other programming tricks. The Gen-Z workers I had to teach often had less experience with desktop computing, and are mainly mobile-native. It's no surprise they aren't familiar with these systems which many I knew grew up with, and use as readily as breathing in some cases. But they did learn - and they did pick it up when they tried, and failed, to use them over and over again. Just as I did growing up in lower-stakes situations. Computing and IT classes, in my opinion, MASSIVELY waste the time of children as they are often (at least in the UK) viewed as non-important by schools and parents attempting to game the University selection system. This is typically picked up on by the kids as well, who then use them as an excuse to mess around (Though sometimes learning key skills in the process, such as running N64 emulators!). While I did learn to use practical computer skills, such as Microsoft Office, during my early education, most of what I know is self taught. I enjoyed it - and made practical use of it. What happens to the people who didn't? Gen-Z. And then we pillory them for it. Computing should be given the respect it deserves in the curriculum - both for the functional, practical, elements and for the sheer, utter, magic of the machine itself.

seriously, though. i work in higher education, and part of my job is students sending me transcripts. you'd think the ones who have the least idea how to actually do that would be the older ones, and while sure, they definitely struggle with it, i see it most with the younger students. the teens to early 20s crowd.

very, astonishingly often, they don't know how to work with .pdf documents. i get garbage phone screenshots, sometimes inserted into an excel or word file for who knows what reason, but most often it's just a raw .jpg or other image file.

they definitely either don't know how to use a scanner, don't have access to one, or don't even know where they might go for that (staples and other office supply stores sometimes still have these services, but public libraries always have your back, kids.) so when they have a paper transcript and need to send me a copy electronically, it's just terrible photos at bad angles full of thumbs and text-obscuring shadows.

mind bogglingly frequently, i get cell phone photos of computer screens. they don't know how to take a screenshot on a computer. they don't know the function of the Print Screen button on the keyboard. they don't know how to right click a web page, hit "print", and choose "save as PDF" to produce a full and unbroken capture of the entirety of a webpage.

sometimes they'll just copy the text of a transcript and paste it right into the message of an email. that's if they figure out the difference between the body text portion of the email and the subject line, because quite frankly they often don't.

these are people who in most cases have done at least some college work already, but they have absolutely no clue how to utilize the attachment function in an email, and for some reason they don't consider they could google very quickly for instructions or even videos.

i am not taking a shit on gen z/gen alpha here, i'm really not.

what i am is aghast that they've been so massively failed on so many levels. the education system assumed they were "native" to technology and needed to be taught nothing. their parents assumed the same, or assumed the schools would teach them, or don't know how themselves and are too intimidated to figure it out and teach their kids these skills at home.

they spend hours a day on instagram and tiktok and youtube and etc, so they surely know (this is ridiculous to assume!!!) how to draft a formal email and format the text and what part goes where and what all those damn little symbols means, right? SURELY they're already familiar with every file type under the sun and know how to make use of whatever's salient in a pinch, right???

THEY MUST CERTAINLY know, innately, as one knows how to inhale, how to type in business formatting and formal communication style, how to present themselves in a way that gets them taken seriously by formal institutions, how to appear and be competent in basic/standard digital skills. SURELY. Of course. RIGHT!!!!

it's MADDENING, it's insane, and it's frustrating from the receiving end, but even more frustrating knowing they're stumbling blind out there in the digital spaces of grown-up matters, being dismissed, being considered less intelligent, being talked down to, because every adult and system responsible for them just

ASSUMED they should "just know" or "just figure out" these important things no one ever bothered to teach them, or half the time even introduce the concepts of before asking them to do it, on the spot, with high educational or professional stakes.

kids shouldn't have to supplement their own education like this and get sneered and scoffed at if they don't.

In the fast-evolving world of 3D design, engineering, and digital creation, precision and fluidity are everything. Whether sculpting digital environments, designing intricate product prototypes, or crafting architectural blueprints, tools need to feel less like limitations and more like creative extensions.

One tool that’s quietly reshaping the workflow of professionals across industries is the SpaceMouse Pro Wireless by 3Dconnexion. It’s not just another input device — it’s a new way of interacting with 3D environments that brings ease, control, and flexibility to the design table.

Understanding the SpaceMouse Pro Wireless

Unlike traditional mice, which are built primarily for 2D navigation, the SpaceMouse Pro Wireless is designed with 3D navigation at its core. The central component is a controller cap equipped with a 6-Degrees-of-Freedom (6DoF) sensor. This allows smooth rotation, zooming, and panning of 3D models — all at the same time.

Rather than clicking and dragging through dozens of steps, the SpaceMouse enables fluid, intuitive movement across digital space. It allows for more natural control of perspective and orientation — which is a game-changer in any 3D-intensive workflow.

Key Features at a Glance

Some standout features that make the SpaceMouse Pro Wireless truly functional:

6DoF Sensor: Enables effortless 3D navigation using subtle hand pressure — rotate, pan, and zoom simultaneously.

Wireless Capability: Offers a clean, clutter-free workspace with both Bluetooth and USB receiver support.

Customizable Function Keys: Four intelligent keys adapt to different software environments, speeding up common commands.

Ergonomic Design: Built with long sessions in mind, it features a soft wrist rest and a thoughtfully contoured layout.

Portable Setup: Comes with a professional travel case for those who work from multiple locations.

Why Wireless Makes a Real Difference

Going wireless isn’t just about fewer cords on the desk. In practice, it creates more freedom — both physically and mentally. Without the usual cable constraints, designers can work from different positions, set up their workspace more flexibly, and maintain a cleaner, more focused environment.

Battery lasts up to 2 months on a single charge.

Uses a unified USB receiver, which can connect up to five 3Dconnexion devices.

Excellent for hybrid workers, traveling professionals, or studios with shifting setups.

Compatible With Leading Software

The SpaceMouse Pro Wireless isn’t tied down to one niche program. It supports a wide variety of industry-standard applications across CAD, BIM, 3D modeling, and animation platforms:

AutoCAD

Revit

SolidWorks

Fusion 360

Blender

Rhino

CATIA

Siemens NX

SketchUp

Inventor

Function keys and navigation behavior can be customized for each software using the 3DxWare® 10 driver, giving users a personalized experience no matter the application.

The Power of Two-Handed Workflow

When paired with a regular mouse, the SpaceMouse Pro Wireless enables a true two-handed workflow. One hand handles view manipulation, while the other focuses on commands, modeling, or selection. This approach isn’t just faster — it’s more natural.

Reduces repetitive strain by spreading tasks between both hands.

Enhances productivity through smoother transitions and less visual reorientation.

Minimizes interruptions that come from constantly adjusting views with keyboard shortcuts.

Over time, this kind of workflow can significantly improve both output speed and user comfort.

Who Benefits Most?

The SpaceMouse Pro Wireless isn’t designed for just one kind of professional. Its versatility makes it a great asset across fields:

Engineers working with detailed assemblies benefit from precise control and faster reviews.

Architects can walk through 3D floor plans in real time with smooth, lifelike navigation.

3D artists enjoy better camera control in modeling, sculpting, and animating environments.

Product designers gain easier access to hidden components and complex angles.

Students and educators get a clearer understanding of spatial relationships in 3D learning tools.

Wherever 3D models are part of the process, this device adds value.

Built for Modern Creativity

The design of the SpaceMouse Pro Wireless reflects what today’s creators need: comfort, accuracy, and adaptability. Its ergonomic form ensures minimal hand fatigue, even during long creative sessions. Its wireless nature suits both minimal desk setups and dynamic workspaces. And its software integration allows professionals to customize workflows that work best for them.

This isn’t about replacing the traditional mouse. It’s about enhancing the interaction with 3D design space — turning it from a set of clicks and drags into a fluid, immersive experience.

A Smarter Way to Design

3D design is more than technical execution — it’s a deeply creative process. And like any creative work, it requires tools that enable better focus, better flow, and fewer frustrations.

The SpaceMouse Pro Wireless fits into this vision. It simplifies navigation, boosts productivity, and keeps creators in their zone. For any serious 3D professional, animator, designer, or student — this device is a worthy addition to the toolkit.

Clearing Roadblocks, Goodbye Traffic Nightmares!

Every construction site operates like a well-oiled machine, provided there is a firm hand guiding its moving parts. As a construction site manager, my role extends far beyond overseeing structures taking shape. Each day presents a new set of challenges, requiring strategic delegation and precise coordination. The work is more than just ensuring materials arrive on time or that the blueprint is followed to the last detail. It involves managing people, mitigating risks, and keeping progress on schedule.

When multiple teams work simultaneously—from excavation crews to electrical engineers—my job is to keep everything in sync. The pressure is constant, but it is also what makes the role rewarding. Watching a project unfold successfully is proof that the proper management decisions were made along the way.

Currently, we are handling a project in New Zealand, and one of the biggest hurdles is traffic management within a confined space. A project of this scale brings complications, particularly in areas where roadways are narrow and public access is high. One challenge is ensuring construction vehicles enter and exit the site without disrupting local traffic. With limited space, manoeuvring heavy machinery becomes a logistical puzzle. Another issue is pedestrian safety. In urban environments, pedestrians often take shortcuts near worksites, increasing the risk of accidents.

A miscalculated turn or an unaware passerby can lead to dangerous situations. Finally, coordinating with local authorities on road closures and diversions adds another layer of complexity. Gaining permits and ensuring compliance with strict regulations requires expertise that our team lacks. Without a solid traffic management plan, even the most well-structured project can come to a standstill.

As discussions among our team intensified, it became clear we needed a traffic management specialist to help implement a structured plan. One of the biggest obstacles wasn’t just drafting a plan but executing it efficiently. Sitting in a meeting, I looked around at my colleagues, all scratching their heads. “So, who here knows exactly how to direct heavy traffic flow in a cramped space?” Silence filled the room. Someone coughed.

Then another voice chimed in, “We can just put up a few signs and call it a day, right?” That earned a collective groan. It was apparent we needed an expert, not just a quick fix. That’s when we found ISAV Design, a company specialising in Traffic Management Plans in NZ. Their expertise stood out, offering not just theoretical plans but practical, compliant, and executable solutions.

Partnering with ISAV Design changed everything. The team provided a transparent, structured traffic management plan tailored to our site’s limitations. They navigated the legal requirements, secured the necessary approvals, and ensured every detail was compliant with New Zealand’s strict traffic regulations. With their help, our construction vehicles moved seamlessly in and out of the site without disrupting public roads.

Pedestrian safety measures were put in place, eliminating risks. Most importantly, their proactive approach meant we no longer had to second-guess our strategies. Working with them felt like having an extra layer of assurance, knowing that the traffic aspect of our project was in the hands of professionals.

Success in construction always starts with proper planning. A construction site manager handles significant responsibilities, and without the proper support, even the most skilled team can face roadblocks. Every project brings its own unique set of challenges, but the key is knowing when to bring in the right partners. Managing a site is not just about leading a team; it is about ensuring every element functions harmoniously. Bringing out the best in ourselves as managers allows us to bring out the best in our teams, leading to projects that are not only completed but completed with excellence.

Maximizing Productivity with the Logitech M500s: A Deep Dive into Customizable Shortcuts

In the modern workspace—whether at home, in the office, or on the go—productivity hinges not just on the speed of your internet or the power of your computer, but also on the efficiency of your tools. One such unsung hero in the productivity ecosystem is your computer mouse. And few mice are as robustly built for task efficiency as the Logitech M500s.

This corded mouse may seem simple on the outside, but beneath its sleek exterior lies a powerhouse of customizable features that can significantly improve your daily workflow. In this post, we’ll explore how the Logitech M500s can be used to supercharge your productivity, especially through its highly customizable buttons and ergonomic design.

Why Shortcuts Matter for Efficiency

Before we dive into the Logitech M500s itself, it’s important to understand why customizable shortcuts are critical:

Time-Saving: One-click shortcuts replace multi-key commands or menu navigation.

Improved Focus: Custom commands let you stay immersed in your work without shifting between keyboard and mouse constantly.

Accessibility: For users with repetitive stress injuries or physical limitations, mouse shortcuts offer alternative input methods.

The Logitech M500s takes this to heart with seven programmable buttons that can be tailored to your specific needs.

Overview: Logitech M500s Key Features

Let’s look at what makes this mouse ideal for productivity enthusiasts:

High-Precision Sensor: 400 to 4000 DPI range

Dual-Mode Scroll Wheel: Toggle between click-to-click and hyper-fast scrolling

7 Programmable Buttons: Via Logitech Options software

Ergonomic Contour: Full-sized shape with rubber grips for extended use

Wired USB Connection: No lags, no batteries, no interruptions

Now let’s break down how each of these features plays into real-world productivity gains.

1. Customizing Shortcuts with Logitech Options

The real power of the Logitech M500s is unlocked when you download and use Logitech Options software. This free tool allows users to:

Assign custom commands to any of the 7 buttons

Create application-specific profiles

Adjust pointer speed and DPI sensitivity

Enable gesture-based functions (via button clicks)

Examples of Popular Shortcuts to Assign:

Browser Navigation: Assign back/forward buttons to web page navigation

Copy & Paste: Map Ctrl+C and Ctrl+V to thumb buttons

Multimedia Controls: Control volume, play/pause from your mouse

Virtual Desktops: Switch between desktops or apps instantly

Zoom In/Out: Great for designers or editors

💡 Pro Tip: Set different profiles for different software—Excel, Photoshop, Chrome—so your buttons change functions automatically based on what you’re using.

2. Use Cases: Productivity in Different Professions

A. Office Professionals

For those juggling spreadsheets, emails, and video calls, the Logitech M500s is perfect for:

Scrolling long Excel sheets with hyper-fast scrolling

One-click shortcuts to “Reply All” in Outlook

Using gesture functions to switch between tasks

B. Graphic Designers

Graphic artists and editors often use software like Adobe Photoshop or Illustrator where precision and shortcuts are critical:

Zoom and brush size mapped to side buttons

Panning tools triggered via custom buttons

Toggle grid/view modes in one click

C. Developers

Coders who spend all day typing can use the mouse to offload repetitive commands:

Compile or run script buttons

Toggle terminal vs. code view

Navigate through tab-heavy IDEs like VS Code or IntelliJ

D. Video Editors

With video software like Adobe Premiere or DaVinci Resolve:

Timeline zoom via DPI adjustment

Cut/split/trim mapped to side buttons

Scroll through frames effortlessly with the fast scroll wheel

3. Speed and Precision: Custom DPI Settings

The Logitech M500s offers on-the-fly DPI switching. This is critical for those who switch between:

High-speed navigation: Like browsing multiple web pages or dragging large files

Precision mode: Like selecting anchor points in Illustrator or trimming in video editors

You can assign two DPI settings (e.g., 800 and 3200) and toggle between them with a click. This is especially useful for multi-monitor setups where pointer travel is a factor.

4. Scroll Like a Pro: Hyper-Fast Scrolling in Action

Unlike traditional wheels, the M500s comes with dual scroll modes:

Click-to-Click: For controlled scrolling, like reviewing text

Free-Spin Mode: For blazing through long documents or web pages

For example:

Scroll through a 500-line spreadsheet in seconds

Read long PDFs without finger strain

Navigate complex codebases quickly

5. Wired Connectivity = Reliability

In an era where wireless devices are common, why stick with a corded mouse?

No battery interruptions

Zero latency

Consistent connection

If you work in a setup where stability is key—like editing large files or working on cloud-based platforms—a wired device like the Logitech M500s ensures uninterrupted performance.

6. Ergonomic Design: Work Longer Without Fatigue

Comfort isn’t just a luxury—it’s essential for productivity. The Logitech M500s has:

A full-size shape to support your palm

Soft rubber grips for better control

Contoured design to reduce wrist strain

Users who spend 6+ hours at the desk report significantly reduced fatigue compared to smaller or less supportive mice.

7. Cross-Platform Compatibility

The M500s is compatible with:

Windows 10 and above

macOS

Chrome OS

Linux (basic functionality)

You can use the mouse across desktops, laptops, and even Chromebooks without needing additional drivers.

8. Tips for Getting the Most Out of the Logitech M500s

Download Logitech Options: Don’t skip this—customization is the key.

Experiment with DPI: Try different settings for creative vs. navigation tasks.

Try Different Profiles: Switch between app-specific button profiles.

Map Macros: For tasks like renaming files or filling forms.

Use Scroll Toggle Often: Switch to fast-scroll for long pages—it’s a game-changer.

Q5: Can I use the same shortcuts across different apps?

FC 25: What the Emergence of Best Defender Virgil van Dijk Means

In EA Sports FC 25, there are few players who can dominate the back line like Virgil van Dijk. The tall Dutch center back has become a nearly impenetrable defensive fortress with excellent physical confrontation, outstanding tactical judgment and skillful ball control. Whether you are building an Ultimate Team lineup, playing in Career Mode, or participating in online battles, Van Dijk is always one of the most reliable defensive stalwarts.

Van Dijk's attributes in EA FC 25

In EAFC 25, Virgil van Dijk is one of the highest-rated center backs in the game. His steady pace ensures that he can keep up with most forwards, especially with his excellent positioning. One of Van Dijk's most outstanding characteristics is his strength, which can easily get rid of most players in shoulder-to-shoulder confrontations. His aerial ability also makes him extremely lethal in set pieces, both defensively and offensively.

The persistence of one of the best players

In the completely revamped tactical system of EA Sports FC 25, Van Dijk has become the ultimate answer on the back line with his perfect defensive qualities. The upgrade of the game engine makes the defensive system pay more attention to the real physical performance of physical confrontation, the overall coordination of the defensive formation and the intelligent judgment of the timing of the tackle, and this Dutch iron gate is tailor-made for this new system.

Van Dijk's proud height of 193cm builds a three-dimensional defensive barrier. His unique AI-assisted system can automatically trigger accurate interception actions, intelligently predict the passing route, and show amazing defensive wisdom. It is particularly worth noting that Van Dijk performs particularly well in low-position defense or deep retreat tactics. His wide defensive coverage can effectively block the threat of through balls, and his super high 1v1 defense success rate is the key to ensuring the safety of the goal. This all-round defensive ability makes him a true "automatic defense system" on the back line, allowing players to handle any offensive threats with ease.

Ultimate Team Usage and Chemistry Links

In Ultimate Team, Van Dijk is not only a player for his individual strengths, but also for his connections. As a Dutch player in the Premier League (Liverpool FC), he can easily communicate with many of the most popular players in the game and has a very compatible chemistry. His national and league backgrounds give him great flexibility when building mixed lineups. In addition, the chemistry changes in FC 25 make it easier to link players across leagues and countries, which further enhances Van Dijk's appeal.

Career Mode Backline Leader Role

In Career Mode, Van Dijk is still a cornerstone player to build a solid backline. Although he is over 30 years old, his excellent defensive data will remain at the top level for many seasons to come, and his innate leadership and defensive tenacity make him the perfect choice for team captain.

Even if you coach a giant club like Real Madrid, Bayern or Manchester United (transfer negotiations are required), bringing in Van Dijk is still a shortcut to quickly improve the strength of the defense. In the archive using the dynamic growth system, although his physical function will naturally decline after the age of 34-35, his top defensive awareness and positional judgment can maintain an elite level for a long time. This means that in the later stage of his career, he can completely transform into a deep-lying central defender and continue to lead the defense with rich experience. The value of this Dutch iron gate is not only reflected in the present, but also in his ability to provide long-term and stable defensive guarantees for the team in many ways.

Van Dijk's strengths

Tackle

Van Dijk's standing tackles are almost always clean and powerful.

Positioning

Rarely fall into positional loss, which makes him trustworthy under pressure.

Strength and aerial advantage

Easily win headers at both ends of the court.

Leadership

Improve morale and defensive organization, especially important in intense games.

Van Dijk's weaknesses

Acceleration

Although his speed is good for a central defender, if he is exposed, very agile attackers (especially those with explosive acceleration) may cause him trouble.

Agility and Turning

Can be a little clumsy against small, fast dribblers in tight spaces, but good anticipation usually makes up for this.

Tactical Settings

Van Dijk performs best in certain formations and tactics, such as 4-2-3-1, 4-3-3 (possession), 5-3-2. Tactically, he can choose to play deep, intercept conservatively (to preserve stamina and timing), stay back when attacking, etc. At the same time, he can be paired with faster central defenders (such as Eder Militao or Raphael Varane) to make up for his slight weakness in recovery speed.

Virgil van Dijk is still the mainstay of the defense in EA Sports FC 25. The Dutch defender has always been among the top central defenders in the game with his overwhelming physical fitness, world-class defensive skills and near-perfect positional awareness. It is no exaggeration to say that investing FC 25 Coins to cultivate this defensive master is absolutely a wise choice, and he will bring a qualitative leap in the strength of your team.
