    Still feel answer is notebook from the riddle lines notebook can be backlit wireless etc but all those are keyboards so must be answer, however the riddle lines donot fit for me quite.
  • My take: I think that 'my type' refers to the 'legand' typefaces of which there are many
    'Ideal when nothing to say' - gaming??
    For work and for play - speaks for itself

    NOTEBOOK ??

    Throwing my thoughts in just in case it helps, probably won’t.

    I was thinking Type being kind, legends can be books, kindle.
    Fashioning more - possibly downloading more ebooks.
    I'm even ideal when there's nothing to say - just read
    So hand it to me, both for work and for play. – not sure but hand held, work and play ? the work bit confuses me.

    maybe the notebook but the legend doesn’t fit. (Just seen above post) Legend typeface?
    How about fashioning more being apps?
    Nothing to say texts?

    Hehe cistolic are we overthinking it. Its more than likely keyboard but notebook seems to fit better. The clues though all point to types of keyboard.

    My type is denoted by legends galore.... keys have always been in legends and fables.
    And I'm ably equipped for fashioning more.... I suppose lots of keys on a keyboard make more
    I'm even ideal when there's nothing to say.... Yes just read
    So hand it to me, both for work and for play.... You can work on a keyboard or play.

    Thanks for all of the above!
    Having done my bit of research and directed by the thoughts above its a 60/40 split between keyboard and notebook..
    so first, thanks and second,
    I'm going for keyboard.

    As a Newbie, I watched the video again and changed my mind to Notebook.

    I used to be indecisive but now I am not quite sure.

    Haha treoes
  • I think this is keyboard

    "My TYPE is" and "legend" is also typeface related...

    Coupled with the fact a keyboard can be chiclet (moved shift keys), backlit or wireless.

    Anyway, sure more hints nearer the time...just thought i'd type (lol) this on my backlit keyboard before i forgot

    Thanks to the posters x
