Are people going through keyboards/mice like some sort of consumables?
I’m looking at reviews for a mouse, and something supposedly good about it is that it lasted some person four whole years. I’ve been using the mouse on my work PC for 15 years, it was the first Bluetooth mouse I purchased. I’ve been using this keyboard for 10 years, and the only reason I bought it was that I was no longer typing on my laptop keyboard. Side note: I would love to buy another one just like this one for home, but it doesn’t exist any more.
10 years with no signs of slowing in the next decade sounds right to me. 15 years for the mouse and the only reason I’m considering replacing it is I’d like one that can switch between multiple devices and maybe do away with AA batteries. Do people really go through peripherals quickly?
My Logitech mx518 was one of the best mouse that I had for work and home.
It wasn’t until a dumb cleaner used cleaning agents on it during covid that they ruined the texture and finish on the mouse. I’m still mad about it but they last forever and have all the convenient buttons like thumb buttons and scrolling wheel.
I still have one in it’s packaging because I thought they were so good.
I have no idea when I got my mouse, there’s a few around and they must be 10 years old now. All wired, no wireless.
My keyboard I got about 8ish years ago, a Corsair mechanical keyboard, cherry red iirc. I like the clacky sound, I like sounding like an 80s hacker lol.
My PC (MINERVA) is newer, bought it pre-made in 2020/21. My PC (ATHENA) before that, I built myself and is as old as the keyboard. The case is way older, but the internals were new when I built it. I still have it and plan on turning it into media hub thing at some point lol.
P.S My phone is called FRIGG. Yes I have a theme lol

People buy shitty ones then don’t clean them.
I’m still using my saitek eclipse (no longer exists!) with my ol’ microsoft media keyboard still running on the kvm
