Episode Details

What separates a genuinely useful peripheral from an expensive desk ornament? We apply a brutal test: does the device remove a motion you make hundreds of times a day? Steno keyboards pass for transcriptionists but demand months of practice. The TourBox works for colourists but risks software rot. The SpaceMouse earns its port for CAD engineers after twenty years of support. And the Stream Deck? For most buyers, it's a shortcut discovery tool that adds visual search rather than eliminating movement. We also confront the longevity question: hardware is only as good as the software that drives it, and vendor abandonment can turn any peripheral into a paperweight.
