Proudest (happiest) tech purchase
What is the tech thing you bought that stands out? Something you look at even today and it brings a little smile or happy memories to you.
For me it is Microsoft Wedge Keyboard. The plastic cover surround the battery chamber is gone. I bought it like 13 years ago (I think) but if I know I am getting into a longer typing session it comes out of the backpack. I have a foldable keyboard that takes less space, has larger keys with a nicer spread, but if I know I am about to wrtie for a few hours it comes out. It is the angle created by the battery case, the tactile feel of the keys, the fact that it has a Swedish layout just makes it a smoother experience. Sure, the metal frame is a little rusty, the Z, X (and for some strange reason) J key doesn’t always take unless I hit the upper half of the key, so it actually slows me down.
Which I actually kind of like because it makes me check the text (have I missed something else?) and I recollect my thoughts (sometimes I have a tendency to think out a sentence and believe I’ve put it down on the screen when it is still just existing in my whithered brain). I actually wish MS would come out with an updated version that lets you connect to multiple devices and maybe have a battery you can charge,


I will note that I bought a Kinesis foot switch for use when scanning at work, and it worked perfectly out of the box and was dead-simple to set up.
