I have been working from home in Japan for a year, and I share my good things about electronic products (productivity articles)

In April 2022, I started working as a social animal in Japan and have been working from home. Here I would like to share my shopping experience, hoping to help everyone.

The article is divided into productivity articles and life articles. This article mainly focuses on products in office and creative scenarios.

After work, I used the Logitech k380 for the tablet, but it feels that the arrangement is too compact and typing is not comfortable. The k380's strong point, portability, no longer meets the needs of working from home. I prefer industrial style, and I bought ikbcW210 because of its good looks, but soon found a problem: I will use external recording for meeting minutes, and when I listened back, I found that the sound of the meeting was completely blocked by the sound of the recorded mechanical keyboard.

If you don't play computer games or code words, why choose a mechanical keyboard if it's just for office use? After some reflection, I took advantage of Double Eleven and bought Logitech MXKeys, which is more than half the price in Japan.

Typing on a thin-film keyboard, the noise is no longer a problem, and the custom settings are not very familiar with no customization (the 4 custom mouse commands are almost enough), and the one-key switching function of the three devices also allows me to code on the ipad Smoothly switch between office and company computers. The only downside is that the battery life is relatively short, and it took more than a month to charge twice. It is said that turning off the backlight automatic wake-up function will save power, but I think it is cool and I don’t want to turn it off.

Because the two keyboards are electronic products, they were shipped to Japan after waiting for several months. In order to transport these two keyboards, I have to buy something else to cover the shipping cost... Again: the one that meets your needs is the best one.

In order to enrich the bathing time, I chose this waterproof kpw4, which is also the reason why I considered buying a kindle at the beginning. Relying on it, I read several short stories by Camus while taking a bath.

The 280RMB second-hand one has no visible trauma, and has a film and a hand strap. But occasionally there is a situation where the card locks the screen, which is commonly known as the "card big tree". Mainly concentrated in the morning, I don't know if it has something to do with the low temperature. But at this price, what bike do you need?

If you want to quit the habit of waking up early and swiping fragmented information before going to bed, you can consider putting your phone far away and put your Kindle next to your pillow. Sometimes there will always be information anxiety if you don’t read something, but the never-ending social media consumes too much time. At the same time, electronic devices are easier to accept psychologically than physical books. After all, turning pages on a touch screen is more similar to In the "swipe" experience. When working, I will replace my mobile phone on the desk. When I am bored with work, I will read chicken soup books and workplace methodology books that do not take up my mind. Tired of watching, he looked up and continued to work. After all, swiping the phone is not annoying, and the whole day has passed as soon as you look up.

Some people always persuade Kindle to dismiss Kindle, saying that it can’t help develop the habit of reading. In fact, you don’t have to take reading so seriously. Take it easy. Reading books is also a substitute for using social media.

In 2023, you can still trust the Kindle.

There is no physical store test machine comparison, because the previous generation of XM4 was planted when I was a student, and I directly ordered the 5th generation that happened to be released just after I got the salary. It may be that my head is not standard, and my neck is tired and my ears hurt after wearing it. I basically feel uncomfortable after 30 minutes. I haven't bought the previous generation, so I can't compare the evaluation. I have never felt this uncomfortable when wearing other headphones, and it is really hard to wear the XM5.

At first, it was purchased for the noise reduction function, because I live close to the road, and I am often polluted by the noise of passing cars and construction. The noise reduction function is ok. After all, it is only indoors, so it is not difficult, but it is more difficult to isolate the sounds of neighbors who are partying.

The sound quality cannot be evaluated. After all, I use the Apple family bucket to listen to streaming media and buy Sony's pure white (don't scold).

The most unbearable thing is the endless failures. For example, a sudden pause (the human voice recognition mode is not turned on, no one is talking or talking to himself), a sudden disconnection, and a sudden "boom" torment my eardrums and spirit. In addition, it is very easy to leave marks and cannot be removed.

Since I couldn't find the warranty card that came with it, I can't return or exchange it. The most failed, most impulsive and most regretful purchase of the year.

Whoever wears it has a wide head

Fingerprints are clear

The purchase of this camera has been full of twists and turns. I have been using Nikon entry-level SLR since my freshman year, and I have already used it to feel like a comrade in arms. In fact, I hesitated for a long time to change the door. It was not until I had some spare money after working for about half a year that I started to prepare for the replacement. When xt4 (which had not been released at the time and netizens generally believed that it would not be released this year to compete with its own xhs series new machine) and A7m4, the price of A7m4 increased. Decisively chose Fuji, but xT4 was taken off the shelves during the event, thinking it was short-term out of stock, and the production was discontinued. After the 5th generation was released at the end of November (yes, it was later than the domestic release), the price of the 16-55 that was going to be purchased doubled (from 9w to 16w), which is not new for such a 2015 release. For such an increase in the lens, I was really disgusted, and turned my head and left the electrical store. When I calmed down and prepared to buy, the 5 was out of stock and had to wait for delivery for more than 3 months. For my travel plan at the end of January, I had no choice but to choose the A7m4. Maybe this is fate.

I want to match the 24-70 but I have to wait a month. If I have a travel plan soon, I can only choose to buy a Daguang Ding first, and then add the old zoom 24-105. The Daguangding of sigma is really good for playing. The last 35 I used was the thousand yuan Nikon biscuit I bought in college. The large aperture of 1.4 and the image quality of anti-beating made me feel the power of technology (money). I don't know what's going on with this color. When shooting the projection screen, there is a strange color deviation. I don't have optical knowledge. I am a little confused.

But the weight and size are destined to not be a lens that can be carried out to sweep the streets. For me, who values ​​portability, I might consider making a move.

24-105, for me, I am satisfied with the travel record of traveling the world with one mirror, and the weight is not much different from the 35 body feeling of sigma (meaning they are quite heavy). But I'm still a bit greedy for Master G, but it overlaps too much with the focal length of 24-70, so I don't think it's necessary to use both.

Purchased at a price of more than 1,000 yuan, it is sufficient as an office extension monitor. But if you don’t buy it and regret it, you won’t know which ones are the real needs. For example, next time I will know that I will buy one with a usb power supply port and audio. The only thing I can boast about is the after-sales service of the immediate replacement (the screen started to flicker after two months of use...) and the extremely narrow bezel design. Although I don't really care about borders.
