Review on πŸ”’ Kensington Black Desktop and Peripherals Locking Kit 2.0 (Model K64424WW) by Mark Greenwood

Revainrating 5 out of 5

A good deterrent solution that lets petty thieves know about BTFU. A limitation.

I have now moved into a new coworking space with a separate desk. Until I switch to a real office suite, my computer and monitor remain in the public domain. I don't worry too much about my surroundings: I trust 99% of my community, we have CCTV cameras outside, outsiders can't get into offices or my work areas without using a scan pass, etc, etc. This would however not be the case. There is no harm in only having one deterrent security solution as we have cleaners and security guards who have access throughout the facility. Your staff changes frequently. The Kensington Locking Kit 2.0 does what it wants. It satisfied most of my needs. Sends a message to petty thieves in BTFU. Determined thieves might find a way to steal my stuff, but not without considerable effort. The plate for the kit was a necessity as I have a custom built PC. It's plastic, which is fine, but the 3M adhesive that came with the plate is a bit of a joke. I recommend getting a good quality epoxy to glue the plate somewhere if your PC doesn't have that special Kensington keyhole.
