I agree. We collectively overconsume, where are the manufacturers with pride in building quality devices that just work?

I'm a hardware engineer, I'd be embarrassed to release some of the shit I've seen onto the market for public consumption.

The rules are simple: solid state where you can, robust enclosures that can withstand common cleaners & IV exposure, geometry that makes it difficult for those cleaning fluids to get into the electronics. That's it, you've got most people covered with a reliable device to interact with daily. Pinch pennies on the RGB LEDs, not the housing!
