My MX Anywhere 3S: The Unseen Architect of My Smart Home

When I first bought my Logitech MX Anywhere 3S for Mac, I was primarily thinking about its compact design and Mac compatibility for my work setup. However, it quickly became an indispensable, almost invisible, architect of my smart home. Its wireless Bluetooth connectivity and uncanny ability to track on virtually any surface have allowed me to get truly creative with how I manage and enjoy my connected living space, turning everyday interactions into seamless experiences.

My absolute favorite household use for the MX Anywhere 3S is controlling my smart TV and home entertainment system. I have my Mac mini connected to my TV, and now, instead of fumbling with multiple remotes or a clunky trackpad, I can comfortably browse streaming apps, select movies, adjust volume, and navigate menus directly from my couch. The any-surface tracking means I can even use it on the armrest, a cushion, or even my pant leg – no mousepad needed – giving me ultimate freedom.

Beyond entertainment, I’ve found it invaluable for managing smart home devices via my Mac. Whether I’m adjusting thermostat settings, checking security camera feeds, or tweaking smart lights through an app on my desktop, the MX Anywhere 3S offers precise control. Its 8K DPI means even a small movement translates to accurate cursor placement, crucial when I’m quickly trying to hit a tiny button on a smart home dashboard.

I also love its ability to easily switch between devices. My Mac is connected to my TV, but I might also use my iPad Pro nearby. With a quick button press on the mouse, I can instantly switch control from my Mac to my iPad (if I’ve previously paired them), effortlessly managing digital recipes in the kitchen or Browse design ideas on a tablet without needing a separate mouse. This multi-device capability truly streamlines my household tech.

In essence, my Logitech MX Anywhere 3S for Mac has become the quiet commander of my connected home. Its blend of compact portability, seamless Bluetooth, and revolutionary any-surface tracking has allowed me to interact with my devices in intuitive new ways, proving that even a mouse can be a hero in simplifying everyday smart living.

Mastering My Household Tech: The Redragon S101 at Home

My Redragon S101 keyboard and mouse have become indispensable for managing my smart home and media center. I’ve found so many creative ways to use their programmable features to streamline my household tech interactions. For example, I’ve programmed some of the keyboard’s macro keys to instantly launch my streaming services – one key for Netflix, another for YouTube, and a third for my smart home control app. It’s so much faster than navigating through menus with a remote or clicking through desktop icons.

The mouse’s programmable buttons are equally handy. I’ve assigned one of its side buttons to mute/unmute my smart speaker, so I can quickly cut off the music when someone calls without fumbling for my phone or yelling across the room. Another button is programmed to open my digital recipe book application, which is a lifesaver when my hands are messy in the kitchen. It’s truly amazing how these little shortcuts add up to significant time savings and a smoother tech experience at home.

Beyond controlling smart devices, I even use the Redragon S101 keyboard for managing my media files. I’ve set up macros for common file operations like “copy to external drive” or “move to archives” for my photo and video collection. This eliminates repetitive clicking and dragging, especially when I’m organizing large batches of files after a family event. The comfortable wrist rest on the keyboard also makes these longer organizing sessions much more bearable.

The Redragon S101 keyboard RGB backlighting, while initially just for aesthetics, has become surprisingly practical. I’ve set different lighting profiles for different home activities. For instance, when I’m in “movie mode,” the keyboard glows a soft blue, and when I’m just casually Browse, it’s a calm green. It’s a subtle but effective way to visually confirm which “profile” I’m currently using, especially when I’m using those customized macro keys.

In short, my Redragon S101 combo has transcended its gaming origins to become a true command center for my connected home. The ability to customize hotkeys and macros has not only sped up my interactions with household tech but also added a layer of convenience and personal flair that I never anticipated from a gaming peripheral.
