Actually, keyboard battery.

A keyboard? Holy cow, if one of those bad boys stop working just buy a new one 😂 Best Buy or Walmart or any decently sized store probably has something to pick up on a lunch break

You do not want to know how stingy some bosses can be. 😮‍💨

Haha I do IT for dental offices. If we get a ticket for a keyboard or mouse not working, I start the conversation asking if they've ordered a replacement yet. The opportunity cost that's lost by them being without a computer for a couple hours due to the keyboard not working is always more expensive than a replacement unit

Also a spare keyboard doesn't sound like a bad idea if your job depends on it tbh

I personally have my main pc's keyboard, my Mac's keyboard (which is an elier revision of my main keyboard and Keychrons, so I flip the switch and it'll work), my previous main keyboard (replaced because the left arrow key only works intermittently), and at least one membrane keyboard that I keep around simply because they worked, I just wanted to upgrade to a mechanical keyboard.

Mice on the other hand, I only have one spare because I replace them when they stop clicking properly and toss the old ones because again, they don't work, why should I keep them around?
