What are the worst tech purchases you or your family have ever made?

I watched a video recently and wanted to know what other have bought over the years.

      Tbh I’ve had great experiences with Razer mice, although that’s the only product I’ve ever purchased from them

      Razer, in my (very dated by now tbh) experience has really bad quality control but if you get a good one it’ll last for a long time. My mouse is 15 years old now and still working. Conversely my keyboard from them stopped working a little after the one year mark.

      Idk seems that way for a lot of companies nowadays. Cheap out on QC and parts, hope people don’t bother contacting your support and if they do it’s cheaper to just replace some stuff and use a cheap 3rd party support center vs actually making sure the product is not a lemon.

      I never had a Razer mouse last longer than 6 months since they moved over to optical/laser mice (yeah, I’m old). Their products are flimsy crap for the most part.
