Thanks so much everyone for your input. I ended up with a KYY K3. There was a lightning deal for it on Amazon for ~$90. It showed up yesterday evening and so far, it works just fine for what I need it to do. I’m certain it will help my productivity while working away from the office or my home set up.

That’s a great idea. Unfortunately my work laptop is locked down and I’m not able to install any of my own software to it

That’s a great point. Thank you

Thank you for the idea. However, it looks like my device isn’t supported. Also, not really looking to go that far. Would doing things like disabling search and location history be effective at all? Other simple steps?

If you can make it go away with the shifter, I would guess it is not the limit screw but that cable tension (I don’t think the shifter would help alleviate the problem if the limit screw is set too far in). You could start with using 1/4 turn increments of the barrel adjuster at the shifter. Go slow. Do one 1/4, shift around and stop back on large cog and see how it sounds and looks.
