Mechanical Keyboard

Chinese men are reportedly spending billions of dollars annually on high-end mechanical keyboards, gaming controllers, and RGB lighting. This trend, often dubbed the “electronic garbage trio,” sees expensive peripherals reselling for inflated prices. While these purchases offer psychological relief from workplace stress, they contribute significantly to e-waste, with products having short lifespans. The consumption pattern is linked to a desire for control and tangible feedback, creating a cycle of temporary anxiety relief.
