Copilot key will eventually be required in new PC keyboards, though not yet.

How is investing $120 on a keyboard that is extremely comfortable for me to use that I've kept since the USB 1.0 era overspending?

I'm far from wealthy. I bought that keyboard when I was working a $10/hour part time job.

If you had a WFH job, would you buy a $20 chair from Walmart or invest $100-$200 on a chair where you'll actually be comfortable all day and not develop back problems? And you don't have to be wealthy to work a WFH job either. My last job was a hybrid WFH/in-office job. I was paid less than what would be minimum wage in California.

Oh wow, am I beefing with Flying Squid now!? 🤩 What an honor...

But seriously, I said "overspend" when maybe I should have used your words: "people take it way too far."

I just meant enthusiasts and people with too much money buy the high-end stuff. Not even a judgement, though I would remind people of the diminishing returns the more you spend...
