    Riitek Ultra Mini Wireless Mouse Keyboard - Raspberry Pi in Canada
    My Logitech K400 is my go to keyboard for Pi stuff. Touchpad where the numpad would normally be like yours. It's small but too small. The Rii mini is OK for quick stuff, but I find those little keys a bit of a pain if your doing any amount of typing. The key layout is a little weird too. Takes me a while to find some keys if I haven't used it for a while. It has its uses, just not so good if your coding or doing something from terminal.

    Is that cardboard or plastic? I have some Windows Insider MVP ID cards that I don't need anymore that will work.

    Ah, now that you said what it is, it all makes sense. They have boxes of those by the cash registers. I'll keep the trophy's. The ID cards were expired anyway, you get a new one every year your renewed. They were just sitting there on my desk gathering dust when you posted.

    I take a look every now and then for new images. This time around I saw it posted on the Pi forum.

    Been playing around with my sense hat some more. Finally got a reply on the Pi forum. They weren't seeing what I'm seeing, using a flashlight. Here's what I found. Using an LED flashlight has no effect. But using one with an incandescent bulb does. White LED's aren't true full spectrum white light. They are Blue LED's with extra phosphor added. My guess is he or she was using an LED flashlight. I asked them to put their sense hat in actual sunlight and get back to me.

    I should have mentioned above, no official reply from anybody associated with the Pi Foundation. Just another Pi enthusiast. And just the one replay. I'm beginning to think I'm being deliberately ignored. No comment means they don't have to actually admit its an issue?

    Just ordered a BME680 to play with. I'll wire that up in place of the BMP180 in my portable weather clock. Once that's done non of the sensors on the sense hat will be in use. I don't think I'm going to use the air quality part of the sensor, not initially anyway. You have to turn a heater on etc that will most likely mess up the temp readings. Temporarily anyway, I "think" its only on for a set time to stabilize that sensor.

    Also ordered a Pi 3B+ and few other odds and ends. My first 3B+. I'll put that in my bread board rig. It'll be at least 10 days till I get it. Hurry up and wait time now. =(
