The Blind Guy is back with another keyboard to wax lyrical about - this time around it is the Logitech MX Mechanical - a new mechanical keyboard built for coders and developers rather than gamers. So no fancy or annoying RGB lights or weird layouts to contend with - just a great typing experience. But is it as good as Steven's previous favourite keyboard - the MX Keys for Mac? Shaun Preece has his doubts. Also, listener Alan Macdonald from Scotland sends in his review and demo of the music and audio editing app for the Mac called Amadeus Pro. What features does it offer and is it comparable to are apps such as Audacity? As always, please do send in your comments.
