Mechanical keyboard. Almost had no money back then, but wanted to treat myself. It costed 100$, and I regretted it the next morning. Felt like shit, but it was so cool to type on.
After 5 years, this metal-frame keyboard managed to survive many outside gigs, long travels, literal war, and it's still with me. And I still love typing on it. Sometimes I code just to type. You can guess why I don't use code completion tools.

I got into mechs and bought a bunch of them over a few years, my last one being a ducky with silent reds.
3 years ago I bought a microsoft ergo keyboard and have never looked back. So comfortable.
