Value-first analyst tracking street prices, QC trends, and failure patterns to surface durable picks at fair prices.

Value is sustained performance per dollar over time, not launch hype.

A premium mouse failed with double-click issues three months in, and support stalled. I returned it, bought a midrange model with better switch specs and a straightforward warranty, and tracked costs over a year. The cheaper pick survived travel, and my per-month cost ended up half.

I prefer proven switches, replaceable feet, standard charging, and strong warranties; skeptical of proprietary dongles unless performance-verified.
