Oh sure, it's getting old and tired and the keys don't all sit at the same height anymore, and I keep reaching for a volume control that isn't there. And it's big and heavy and displaces my mousing a bit to the right because it's not a TKL. And the left alt key isn't where my fingers want it to be.

But those aren't failures. It's not obsolete. It's just not new, and that's okay. It still works fine, even on a completely different system to the one it was intended to work with. #retrocomputing

A close-up photo of the F1, F2, F3 and F4 keys on an old Apple keyboard. The F2 key is sitting noticeably lower in its space than the other keys, indicating the spring or some other component is wearing out. There is also a small gouge in the plastic near the Apple logo, suggesting this is an old keyboard that's lived a full life.
