Oi @Logitech - Looks like laptops more and more come with only USB-C so time to make with the unifying receivers please! 🙏 - like these peeps amazon.co.uk/Lenovo-Unified-…
In my experience tubs of @UKCelebrations at work or elsewhere are invariably left with just mini Mars bars at the end which I'll grudgingly eat eventually. Somewhat ironic?
