Got the MX Master 3 and it’s pretty nice. I like the click feel and it fits well in my hand. It’s a bit pricy but it feels worth it so far. Thanks for the suggestion! Edit: ok well is there a reason why the mouse would just disconnect for seemingly no reason? It seems like It losses the BT connection at random MarcusSA fucked around with this message at 03:41 on Feb 22, 2024 |

I know M1 MBA doesn't support 2x external monitors, but does anyone know if there's a decent multiport usb-c hub/docking station supporting DisplayLink to provide support for a third monitor (i.e. laptop screen and 2x 1080p monitors)? Or am I just mistaken that it's even possible?

The M1 silicon itself doesn't have the GPU for more than one external monitor so I can't see why that would work.

yes you can use a displaylink device to give yourself a third monitor. people in the thread hate it but imo if you’re not doing like gaming or whatever it’s basically fine just make sure whatever model you buy has some reviews from apple users

It is possible, but you have to run the DisplayLink software to make it work. I recently grabbed a Targus DV4K for $20 on HP.com and it can do dual monitor with M1. This list might help you decide what to get.

I think dell made a native+displaylink dock over usb-c but I’m not sure if they still sells it.

I’ve definitely coaxed more screens out of work laptops than they were specc’d to via dairying chaining adaptors and docks, but it clearly wasn’t happy about it and necessitated plugging things into each other in a very specific order that would break if you looked at it funny. It’s possible but I wouldn’t recommend it at all. This was also on Windows so I would expect you couldn’t get away with it on a more tightly controlled stack as you see in Mac land.

It’s a bit pricy but it feels worth it so far. mine seems to sleep early and often, presumably to save battery, but reconnects quickly after jiggling/clicking. also if you, like me, want to have the scroll wheel work opposite to touchpad scroll, the logi options software can set that up for you

Displaylink is a GPU in a USB box, you can stick on as many displays as you have the CPU to manage. My only recent displaylink experience was awful, I had a display link dock with a 2015 dual core MacBook Pro and displaylink ate an entire core all the time to drive a 3440x1440 display.

Ouch. Does something like vnc have the capability of showing a remote "third screen" using a second laptop or computer?

Dell UD22 HP Universal Dock G2 Both have displaylink and can do 2 external monitors on M1. It works fine, my company has thousands deployed. The only weird bit is it triggers screen recording warnings.

My experience for a while with DisplayLink with an M1 machine was entirely positive (no slowdowns or anything I needed to think about), with the main caveat being that GPU-accelerated video in browsers will give you black squares instead. As far as I know this isn't a DRM thing, just a side effect of how all the workaround pieces go together. Of course, this was for work stuff and not trying any games or whatever with it, so YMMV.BonoMan posted:Mouse Chat: MX Vertical.

down1nit posted:Ouch. DisplayLink basically is VNC over USB. That's the way to think about it - if your needs for an external display could be met by a VNC connection, DisplayLink is OK. Despite what's been said, DisplayLink devices aren't GPUs, in that they have no acceleration. They're just a frame buffer, a display refresh engine to drive a monitor from that frame buffer, and the minimum required hardware+software to implement their proprietary VNC-over-USB so that they can get pixel data from a host frame buffer into the DisplayLink frame buffer. I have no idea whether DisplayLink actually does this in their driver stack, but it's technically very possible to have the Apple Silicon GPU draw into a frame buffer in RAM, point the DisplayLink driver at that frame buffer, and refresh the DL device from it. This would provide full acceleration, but with some latency and bandwidth limitations on presenting changed pixels to you.

Neat! It's faster and less latency than over a network yeah? Edit: that's how they'll add third monitor support then yeah? Is the frame buffer in memory or is it on special hardware? down1nit fucked around with this message at 00:33 on Feb 24, 2024 |

down1nit posted:Neat! It's faster and less latency than over a network yeah? Yeah there should be more bandwidth and less latency for DisplayLink than a typical network. Not sure who you mean by "they" in "they'll add third monitor support". DisplayLink is a company (formerly independent, now part of Synaptics) that makes the silicon for DisplayLink adapters and the driver software to support them in operating systems like Windows, Linux, and macOS. Most of the time, if you see a widget that promises to connect a display to literally anything with a USB port, and it doesn't require that port to support DP alt mode or Thunderbolt, that's a DisplayLink adapter. Some of their chips also have other interfaces like ethernet and sound to make the widget into a full featured docking solution. The frame buffer exists in two places: the original copy lives in the computer's own memory, and then there's a remote copy on the other end of the network (or USB in this case) link which gets updated from the original, using a protocol which compresses outgoing updates to avoid overtaxing the relatively slow USB link. Frame rate may suffer when too many pixels change in one frame...
