Good tip, thanks. I just looked up this stat using CoconutBattery and mine is at 676 cycles, so not too bad.

They’re not labeled M1-M5, but NicePBT Type 6 has two columns of additional keys that fit R1-R4. The legends are styled after a retro board though, so they may not suit your taste.

I own this and can vouch for it. A huge upgrade over the freebie switch pullers.

Thanks for the idea. These are nice and cheap, too.

Ah, good idea. I have some of those on hand.

This is really unique, I like it!

I do the same as @veedems already posted; name the list whatever you want and tell Siri to "add X to my Y list". Also works for a to-do list etc. One benefit of using Reminders over Notes is that you can pull a Reminders list up on your Apple Watch, if you have one. That way you can have your shopping list on your wrist in the store instead of pulling out your phone.

I use Apple Notes and Reminders. The Reminders app is actually pretty robust and is also good for your grocery list etc. (you can add items via Siri). The main reason I use it is because reminders stay front-and-center on my Lock Screen even after I unlock and re-lock my phone. I have yet to find another app whose notifications don’t get buried in the Notification Center.

I’ve been wondering about this, too. Honest question, do you really think there will be that big of a bump once the apps shut down for good? I feel like most people who are passionate enough about third party apps are already painfully aware of what’s coming, and those that would be willing to migrate have done so. I hope I’m wrong!

I believe a dashed line on the left of a comment means it was written by the OP

Update: found them for even cheaper than I anticipated ($16 for 110) and couldn’t resist. Guess I’ll find out if they’re any good…

Haha, you are probably right about the lube! I am relatively new to the hobby and haven't crossed that bridge yet. With other responsibilities and all, it's a lot of time to commit.

I definitely know what you mean about AliExpress, it would be quite a wait. Fortunately I'm in no rush, more like I'm just curious to try something new.
