For me it’s the notification light you used to find on older phones, was particularly good to know if your phone was charged without picking it up

Good keyboards on computers. At the office, everything are those extremely uncomfortable $5 dell keyboards. At a climbing gym or pool, the liability iPads that you sign forms on is using those really uncomfortable apple keyboards too.
I miss the better keyboards that we had back 25 years ago. Modern box jades bring some of that back for your own PC.
Maybe it's just me, but I've never complained about regular office keyboards.
The worst keyboard I had was on an Eluktronics laptop because the keys were so hard to press down.
But... you could just buy a good keyboard? With a bit larger budget than that 5$ a lot of modern mechanical keyboards could just as well be pure gold, they are so good. I'm still chugging on my 65$ CM Storm Quickfire XT from 8-10 years ago. This is problem of knowledge/motivation , not a problem of supply/scarcity
You can get nice mechanical keyboards these days. They're not cheap though
Back in 2004 the company we worked at (we worked for another company who provided tech contract work for them) was bought and they were dismantling a particular site. I remember getting to the e-trash dumpster and finding boxes of almost new computers and HP keyboards. I had a truck so I grabbed them all. The computers, I donated. The keyboards I still have maybe 3 or 4, after having given others to friends and family.
There were no good keyboards 25 years ago.
Excuse me, the IBM model M was made from 85-96, there was then a 10 year gap until the Das Mechanical came out in 06 but the Model M was 100% widely available used during that time and Cherry AG stayed in business so there were still modders and small companies making Model M type keyboards even then.
Mechanical keyboards improved a ton in the last 3 years. If the model M came out today it would be an awful keyboard.
Sorry, that's just disgusting.
Are you kidding me?
