I’m like that too though, don’t like needlessly replacing things if they aren’t broken (well, non-performance things). Patiently waiting for my large mousepad to die so I can justify buying a nicer one.

I’m in the same situation and I’m suffering from it randomly disconnecting while plugged in

I know it’s risky, painful and sometimes you feel can’t breathe… but, if you have children’s without keyboard…

But that hobby costs a lot…

Just get into the mech keyboard hobby and have 8 backups 🥲

Having a kid is great for things like this. Sometimes I’ll be like, “my kids keyboard is trash, I’ll give them my old one and get a new one.” And that’s how I justify new and unnecessary purchases

I feel this.. I don’t need the wooting 80he and my huntsman hasn’t died but.. It sure would be convenient timing if it did

My old Razer mechanical Keyboard of over 10 years, has taken a large glass of water and a cup of coffee over the years, just turned it over on a towel in my garage and let it dry out for a week. good to go, i really need a new one just so i can clean and rebuild the old razor, the caked on kief from many rolled ones and cat hair needs to go.

Only 5? Those are rookies numbers. Mine is almost 10 and didn’t die (a Cooler Master bought €99).

My Strg starts to get stuck sometimes.
But it still works. Have it since i think 7 years when i started gaming at 13
Edit:
My mouse is also still working (my First one too), where i had to glue the mb4 Back on.
Had a razor one that i found in the trash for a half year or so.
I’d also Like to mention that i got the Mouse and keyboard from my Dad who used them too.

The answer is to throw it against the wall and claim that you saw a spider you are welcome.

From my experience, from all computer hardware, keyboards are the hardest one to kill.

I know the feeling, I’ve had my g710, secondhand, for 7ish years now. Just cleaned it up recently and it looks and works just fine.
Its great but I kinda need something smaller.

My 3 year old did me a favor and broke my 8 year old keyboard. Loving my new one.

Just did that with my old Corsair K55 that finally died, bought it used at a garage sale for $10 around 5 years ago. Then I bought a Logitech G613 used from a local game store for $40. Unfortunately uses proprietary keycaps but at least it is mechanical and Wi-Fi based wireless.

You have to wait for them to die?

imagine buying $1000 machine and you can’t buy a new mnk
WholesomeFartEnjoyer
If it’s working fine why do you want a new one?
I only replace tech if the stuff I’m using doesn’t work anymore, I will ride what I have until the wheels fall off, my phone is 5 years old and has holes in it, and cracks everywhere, and cost me 150 bucks in 2019, but it still works, I’m not changing that shit

My keyboard lasted about 10years then it finally died last year. Just bought a cheap $50 mouse and keyboard set. It’s fine for what I need it to do.

Mine is 10 years and still going!
Lookin like an insect’s nest under the keycaps though…

I think mine is between 10 and 25 years old, not sure.

I have anger issues. Give me your keyboard for a month or two.

Just picked up a new Razer Blackwidow..its amazing. Didnt even wait for my old one to die.. wanted that juicy Chroma for my keyboard and headset and mouse lol.

lol so funny story. I have a wireless Anne Pro 2 which I really like. I spilt a beer on it though, had to clean it. Needed a new one anyways since the A key was wearing out. I decided to just use it for the couch / bed but then it started double typing. So I needed a new mech wireless keyboard. Literally researching a new Keychron ( still want one ) and the next day my wireless completely stops double typing rofl. Works fine now after months of double typing.
I still wanna key the keychron Hall Effect pro keyboard. It seems incredibly nice
ThatCry3518
My keyboard is older than me fixed it more than 10 times and i am happy with it

Sell them! That’s how I get more keyboards while I avoid having more than three and get attacked for that by my gf.
