Jaja my wife just hates when I lay out all the parts and especially Krytox. I usually start very enthusiastic but when I'm around the 30th switch I become grumpy and start asking myself existential questions like: " is it really true that Cherry Switches will last more than 100k actuations"....

(shrug) If that's what you think it is.

Anything can form addictive behaviours, even things that for most people would seem quite innocuous. It's not the activity itself that is dangerous, but the underlying condition that leads to that behaviour. Basically, someone with a proclivity for addictive behaviour will usually find something to feed that addiction. Millions of people all over the world collect things avidly, feel FOMO when they see things, and do not suffer any psychological harm from doing so. I appreciate that your perspective has been coloured by your own personal experience, but I really don't think the OP has a problem. He sounds quite sanguine about the whole thing, and from what he says, seems to have a disposable income to support his collection, so I would not worry unduly.

I actually do, I regularly use Excel as well as other software requiring extensive use of the F-row and also frequently have to type e-mails. I know for sure some people are using the same layout for programming.
