    +1 on the K400. You can pair it with the Logitech universal adapter. So if you are worried about losing the USB plug in, you can just carry 2 or 3.

    For what it's worth, I've never had the Logitech adapter fall out while moving my laptop in and out of my bag. And my 3 year old has dragged, dropped, drooled on, and overall toddlered my K400 and I have not had any issues with it.

    The main downside for me is that it is still just a laptop keyboard layout so the key spacing is just a little off from where I expect them to be when typing. But the built in track pad is convenient for the times when carrying a separate mouse wouldn't be.

    I'm generally more of a rice and chicken or pork guy, but for noodles I like the thinner variety.

    Last year our robotic vacuum started throwing out error codes related to one of the side brush motors. I found a guide online to replace it on a slightly different model but the directions were close enough to get everything apart. The problem was you have to take everything apart to get at it. Start at the bottom and start taking off the wheels so you can get to the screws that hold the top on. Then you can take off the bumper and some sensors so you can get to the screws that hold the main board down. Lift up the main board and finally you are at the brush motors.

    I managed to find a replacement motor on ebay for less than $20 and had to buy a soldering iron to put it in. But after a couple hours work and needing to open it up a couple times to plug in the sensors I forgot, we had a working vacuum again.

    I'm a mechanical engineer but I dabble in electronics.
