Wireless keyboard and mouse that can be connected to Nintendo Switch-Keitai Watch

Under the GIGA school concept advocated by the Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology, each child attending elementary school will be provided with a notebook PC. It seems that elementary school classes use PCs every day, so the other day, in an interview, my homeroom teacher asked me to learn Roman characters and practice typing on the keyboard at home.

However, all the personal computers in my home are Macs, and the one I was given at school is a Windows laptop. At first, I thought that I could use an external Windows keyboard connected to my Mac or iPad, but my external keyboards, which are rotten, are all arranged in a perverted or English layout. Well, I didn't have a normal keyboard at home, so I decided to buy a "normal" keyboard for my child's learning.

"Logitech Wireless Component MK245 Nano". A wireless keyboard and mouse set.

I bought Logitech's "Logitech Wireless Component MK245 Nano" model. A wireless keyboard and mouse set that uses AAA batteries. The deciding factors were that the keyboard layout is standard and resembles that of a Windows laptop, and that it can be used by connecting to a Nintendo Switch.

It's a flat keyboard with almost no tilt, and the keystrokes are light. The keyboard and mouse both use AAA batteries x 2.

Nintendo Switch has many games that can be played online, and you can connect a keyboard for chatting. A Bluetooth keyboard cannot be connected, so you need to use a wired keyboard or a wireless keyboard that uses a dedicated connection receiver like this product.

Receiver for connection. I'm worried about losing it because I'm letting my children use it... To connect to the Nitendo Switch, just plug the receiver into the USB port attached to DocK.

Speaking of how to practice keyboard input by connecting a keyboard to the Nintendo Switch, it is the turn of the popular game "Minecraft" for children. As many of you know, Minecraft allows you to enter commands to modify NPCs and blocks to create various objects and play with them.

My child, who has been playing with commands on the Switch version of Minecraft for a long time, said that inputting using a controller is troublesome, but he has trouble inputting commands using the keyboard while looking at the strategy book. I got to play. It's as if I was in elementary school typing BASIC programs with a reference book in hand.

A child who enters Minecraft commands on the keyboard. The input method is troublesome and has some peculiarities, but I will continue to input without worrying about such things. Practice romaji input by connecting a keyboard to the iPad. Recently, there are many keyboard practice sites on the web, so it is helpful.

Of course, these keyboards can be used without problems even if they are connected to a personal computer. Although the compatible OS is Windows and Chrome OS, it can be used even when connected to a Mac or iPad, so you can play on typing practice sites on the web. Or rather, that was the original purpose. When I asked him to do it every day, he learned the home position and key input in no time.

A few days later, I was making something at the "programming seminar" on the iPad. As expected of a child. It absorbs quickly...

On the other hand, what can you use the mouse that comes with the set with? It can also be used with the Nintendo Switch. The software that was released the other day, "Navigation included! First-time game programming that you can make and understand," is compatible with mice, and of course you can also use third-party software like this product. Since the main operation is drag & drop, it is also a good practice for children to operate the mouse, killing two birds with one stone.

Play Nintendo Switch's "With navigation! The first game programming that you can make and understand" using a mouse. You can kill two birds with one stone by not only learning about programming, but also learning how to use the mouse.

I've bought several keyboards that cost more than 10,000 yen, and I've been wondering about the texture and the feel of the keystrokes. I feel like I have woken up. It is a recommended item to accompany the Nintendo Switch for children's computer learning.
