Those power buttons have a tendency to pop out just ouf of warranty. A few of my friends have them and its 50/50 as to whether theyve survived 6 months longer than warranty
I believe this. I have two and I guess I've been lucky because it hasn't happened to me.

Two companies ago we had an actual old traffic light hooked up to that, but that was maybe a bit over the top.
I have a giant knife switch bolted to what looks like a thick slate base, which (reportedly, according to ebay seller) used to operate a lift in a goldmine in Colorado. Long term plan is to mount it to the wall, so when I leave the office at night I can throw this big old switch and turn everything off.

I have several KA2s (office, home office, spare) and the 360 Pro (I first had a non-Pro because I prefer wired, but the firmware still had annoying bugs). + Variable split is very nice. + Higher tenting degrees than the 20 degrees of the KA2. + Great firmware (ZMK) out of the box. + Really good build quality. + User-replaceable battery. - The Gateron Brown switches are mediocre. They are not to spec and the actuation…
Yeah If I buy a second 360pro for the office i'm going to buy it from upgrade keyboards so i can get silent reds or some other switch. I also replaced the keycaps with the pbt ones, but i also moved a homerow from an adv1 onto my 360pro.
It's a bit sad that they switched from Cherry to budget Gateron switches (on a 600 Euro keyboard). The Cherry Browns and Silent Reds may have been a bit scratchy, but at least they are always close to spec and not that bad after some break-in. Either that or one of the literally tens of tactile switches that are better than Gateron Browns, e.g. why not put some Boba U4 or U4Ts in a premium keyboard? Sure, these switches are some smaller runs, but I am sure they could have worked something out, Kinesis got Cherry to invent Browns after all.

After working for almost 3 years with a barebones work-from-home setup (standup desk + laptop), I finally invested recently in some equipment to improve upon my crappy laptop camera and a room with little natural light. The difference in my video call quality is night and day. This is what I got: - A key light (Godox ES45) to throw a bunch of bright, natural white light at my face. Attached to the desk and positioned…
I wouldn't have thought they were lesser-known, but I've been surprised how many people don't know about today's cheap portable external monitors. They're essentially laptop panels with a USB-C+HDMI board. $100-$150-ish and easily found in 15.6" and 13-14", 1080p or 2K. All the ones I've tried have 2 USB-C ports, mini-HDMI, and speakers. This all depends on what USB-C ports your machine actually has and the right USB…
Here’s an actual lesser known accessory: a mouse bungee. It is a small weighted disc with a spring arm that holds the mouse cord up and away from the mousepad. I don’t like the lag, connectivity, and battery issues of wireless mice, this fixes all of that! It feels _better_ than a wireless mouse, because it has no wires in the way also with zero lag.

The problem I have with wireless mice is they always die when I'm in the middle of something important or an fps game. Switched back to wired because of that.
You can get some now that have wireless charging (with a compatible mousemat). e.g. Logitech PowerPlay
To make it really nice, I paired it with one of those XXL mousepads. Cut some corflute or other material that's the same thickness as the PowerPlay, and you can have your own nice large mousepad while having the wireless mouse charger hidden beneath it.

If you're having those issues, please address the underlying problem instead of thinking that having the perfect ergonomic setup will fix your body. Getting up from the desk each day and getting some physical activity in will help your body a lot more in the long run.
Working with a computer is the underlying problem here. If a special mouse reduces tension, nothing wrong with that. Also you cannot know how often and intensely the parent poster exercises already.

Your attitude is quite unpleasant, teetering on the edge of ableism. Some people (myself included) are just very sensitive to RSI. I get up and about plenty, but without my ergodox keyboard and mx ergo I'm in a world of pain after a regular workday.
