 Javier shares a fantastic tip with us We were talking about in 902 was sort of when we began the conversation about keyboards in general and Javier says, you know on the subject of keyboards He says I highly recommend if you're using a wireless keyboard that you keep a wired backup Somewhere nearby because sometimes when you boot your Mac some third-party wireless keyboards do not sync up with your Mac in time to do any of the startup key command combinations where you might need to go into single user mode or recovery mode or any of those things and If your Mac's having a Bluetooth problem, obviously, it's not going to connect at all So having the ability to plug in a keyboard now a lot of wireless keyboards also can be plugged in and Used wired so in that case the only backup that you need is simply a cable But bear that in mind at least think about what you would do if you needed to do that ahead of time So that you're not in that moment of troubleshooting where you're like, oh crap How do I do this and then maybe you can't or maybe you need to like literally go out and buy a different keyboard So Apple's keyboards most of them you just you can just plug in that's how you charge them anyway Most of them the newer ones are that way so and Brian 89 44 In our chat room at live dot Mac e-cup comm shares that he would recommend the same for mice as well I agree some sort of wired or wire a bull pointing device I know I have that problem I have a magic trackpad to in my office that I love and Occasionally it and it's Bluetooth, you know Occasionally if I have my phone in the wrong spot or some device in the wrong place or whatever it starts getting super janky and I just have a lightning cable there that that I could plug my phone into I rarely do But it's there for whatever I need and more often than not It's like oh time to plug in the the trackpad and as soon as I plug it in everything's fine And you know it just smoothing all that so
