Peripherals and DeX

[Jon44]

Just a note that all the keyboards and mouses I've tested with DeX work great--most surprisingly, Logitech wireless keyboard and mouse both work (which solves a problem a lot of reviewers complained about in that you have to pair bluetooth peripherals before docking, but with Logitech's rf devices, you didn't do that.)
Also, thinkpad keyboard with a trackpad also works (a bit surprising that the trackpad works.)
In sum, DeX continues to be great.

This is great feedback. Thanks for the update. I'm still contemplating whether to give Dex a shot but it seems intriguing. Objectively though there aren't many instances that I'd be using it, particularly since I can't hook up to my work VPN using my phone.

I like the look of DeX but I can't think i'd get any use out of it. What are you using it for mainly?

I use it as a second "downstairs" PC--for me, that's a great benefit.

For that price, I'll pass. I can see myself buying it at $50 but not at $150+.

What about 3rd party stuff? midi for instance... It'd be great if I could make music on my phone!!!

Picked one up at Amazon $95.

When I want to work in Excel, Word, and web browser. Nice having social media there in their own windows.

It doesn't scale properly on 40" Samsung Smart TV.

If I use direct Ethernet USBC I got 78Mbps but when plugged into DeX only 25-30, about same as if using WiFi.

There are times I prefer sitting at a desk, and to see if I still need my MacBook.
