  • This may be out of your price range, but I’ve been very satisfied with my Logitech G915. It’s a wireless, backlit, low profile (so no wrist rest necessary), mechanical keyboard with some programmable buttons on the left side. You can also adjust how bright the back light is.
    I’ve been using it for around 5 years now and have little to complain about it. There are also three different switch choices so if you don’t like the clicky sound, you can pick one of the others. I went with linear.
    Again, I know it’s pricey (it was $250 when I bought it), but I have had no need nor desire to look for another keyboard since.







  • About a decade ago I worked a few weeks at ShopKo. Their hours were terrible; they’d make you work 5-9pm to unload the trucks, then make you work 5am-1:30pm the following morning to restock the shelves.
    You get exactly 8 hours between shifts making it physically impossible to get 8 hours of sleep. And since the hours were spread so wide throughout the day it was impossible to have a regular sleep schedule. It’s legal for companies to do this to their workers in the US. I was also only paid around $8.50/hr, but that’s beside the point.
    In a similar vein, my next job was at another retail store. One time I requested a weekend off to help a friend move, but they denied it and instead made me work 7 days in a row, Wednesday through Tuesday. They got away with it because the company’s shift tracking app ends the work week on Saturday, so it didn’t realize I worked a week straight.
    I was paid around $10.50/hr on average there.
