Etho's mouse can't be older than 12 years old because he mentions in one of his early LP2 videos that he is going tk buy a new mouse with the money someone donates to him. Considering what we know about the rest of the setup, it's probably that same mouse.

I wanna say he mentioned at some point, that his keyboard is so enough that it still uses the PS/2 port. There's nothing wrong with that if it's true, it just puts into perspective how old the keyboard is (and ik you can buy modern keyboards that use PS/2, but it's just interesting). I could be wrong though, since I can't recall where I heard that.

My old laptop's E key was busted. You learn to adjust, but it also keeps being a pain in the butt. I think at some point I just got used to having the letter saved so I could just ctrl+v that shit whenever I needed it, to the point it was basically muscle memory.

[@jambott5520]

My keyboard I recently replaced is older than I am, my dad got in around 2000. The only problem is had was that the left arrow key didn't press right, sometimes getting stuck on the way down. Other than that, it worked fine. Only got it replaced because of input delay, as the input delay it has is quite large and inconsistent. Still works fine, no idea how considering how much I have abused it.

[@hugod9131]

I had that same issue with my old keyboard, i had it for almost 10 years and the WASD, Shift and Space were so eroded that only a touch would be enough to write something. Until it broke and i had to buy a new one lol
