Been using a Blackwidow keyboard since 2017
Had a Mamba mouse purchased in 2019 start to have issues registering clicks in 2023, but I see that as a failure of the ALPS micro switch. Bought the same mouse because nothing else fills out my hand quite the same way.
Partner’s using a Deathadder mouse I originally bought in 2015.
