My laptop keyboard has lost basically its entire top row so I've started bringing around a mechanical Bluetooth keyboard made of solid aluminum. Perhaps you be autistic like me.

(my dad used to work for IBM and I used to be able to get these keyboards for free from him, oh how I miss my klackety keyboard, the new ones that try to be klackety are never quite the same

One of my keyboards has that same sort of feel except the actual keycaps are a bit too light. The rest are just gamer trash; better than non-mechanical keyboards but not as good as the real thing.
I'm trying and failing to find a picture of the worst keyboard I ever had to use, it was some horrible mac thing with keys that were squishy and weirdly placed and you had to very deliberately press every single key, no feedback at all, maybe it also had some squishy plastic covering on it that was of course disgusting because it was in a college chemistry lab but also made it even tougher to use it AND I HAD TO DO SOME DATA ENTRY WITH IT 
And just to top it off, it had no numpad

"What are ergonomics? Is that a sex thing?"
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA 
I think that might actually be it, but it also had a stupid plastic cover on it that made it even worse to hit any button
AND THOSE STUPID MICE
WHO MADE THOSE

Those aren't the worse mice they ever made, this is.
They wanted a clean aesthetic with no lines around the buttons, so the entire thing is a touch sensitive button which you constantly click by accident because any pressure anywhere on the front of the mouse activates it.
How does it know which button you want? It's touch sensitive. So you have to only have the correct finger on whichever button you want to use. The other one just has to kinda hover painfully. Whenever you *don't* want to click anything you have to shuffle it around with the heel of your palm.
That dot in the middle is the scrollwheel/trackball. It has almost no resistance so a strong breeze sets it off. You end up constantly activating it by accident, just like the buttons.
I used that mouse for around a week before I started bringing my own to class. It's practically designed for wrist strain/fatigue.

you're right the creator(s) of this also need to go
(IN MINECRAFT, OF COURSE
)
Don't forget this one
There was zero reason for this. Dozens of people saw this and said "send it"
Dozens, you say 
"oops. Gee golly boss. The mouse is dead. Looks like I'll need to take an hour break to let it charge before I can do anything else. Oh and look at that, it's only 30 minutes until quitting time." 
No. Apple thought of that, too. 2 minute quick charge would provide up to 9 hours of use
WELP
I had a Logitech mouse in the 2010s which recharged in a cradle with, like, contacts. It was still better than plugging a USB cord into its mussy.

4Colleen you should paint the apple mouse being charged jpeg I guarantee you if you brought it to an irl sale somebody would be so confused by why somebody paint it that it could fetch a fortune. Think about it
Colleen did you know that there are pockets of Marianas trench so salinated (upwards of 3-8x) it actually creates deep sea lakes and rivers?
Did you know that we know more about """"space""""" than we know about our own oceans? Did you know king GabeN is using his steam fortune from gamers to study the oceans? Oceanography, marine biology are peak gamer knowledge
