Are premium mechanical keyboards and ergonomic desks actually productivity investments?

[Upsilon]

Tech people love turning comfort into a gear rabbit hole. Premium keyboards, ergonomic chairs, standing desks and monitor arms can absolutely make long work sessions better, but the productivity claims can get silly. A comfortable setup matters if you spend all day coding or researching, yet there is a big difference between reducing pain and pretending a fancy keyboard will magically improve discipline

A good chair and desk are worth it. The tenth keyboard is probably not

[Q]

Mechanical keyboards are fun, but they are not a personality replacement

[StringTheory95]

Ergonomics matters more as you get older. Wrist pain turns cheap gear into an expensive mistake

The best productivity investment is still removing distractions, but comfort helps you stay at the desk longer
