Who the Logitech MX Keys S Wireless Advanced Illuminated Keyboard is for

Buy it if: Anyone typing all day in a shared space who wants quiet keys and multi-device switching.

Avoid it if: Anyone who wants mechanical feedback, and gamers needing n-key rollover.

Who the Anker 555 USB-C Hub 8-in-1 PowerExpand Adapter is for

Buy it if: Anyone needing many ports at 1080p or 1440p, or 4K where refresh rate does not matter.

Avoid it if: Anyone driving a 4K monitor for daily work -- 30 Hz pointer stutter is genuinely unpleasant.
