The Logitech K780 multi-device keyboard, when not serving as a cat bed, allows me to work on more than one computer at once.

I have this habit of collecting computers. There are at least four within reach of me right now, only one of which is an old Chromebook I should probably throw away. Maybe it's a habit I've carried over from my teenage years building gaming desktops for fun.

In any case, I have more computers on (or under) my desk than I have hands, and nothing's worse than cluttering up your workspace with keyboards. My solution? The Logitech K780 multi-device keyboard, which is on sale this Prime Day for just under $60.

This keyboard can switch between three different devices with the press of a button. For me, that means I can seamlessly move between my work laptop and a personal computer, or even type more comfortably on my iPhone.

I've been called a loud typer, and this thing holds up to the punishment I give it every day. It's a full keyboard with a number pad, which I use more than I'd expect (you can get the K480, without the number pad, for just $25). It connects easily with Bluetooth to Mac and Windows computers. And though Logitech doesn't stress Linux compatibility (it can be hit or miss on Bluetooth), it connects via a wireless USB dongle to a desktop running Linux Mint.

I mean, it's a keyboard. But it's a good keyboard, and it's the only one you need if you, like, me, have too many computers.
