Sometimes I will use something and realize I've owned it forever. It's a nice change in our throwaway reality. I think my personal record is a bicycle multi-tool I got for one of my first bikes, ~25 years ago. Still have it, still use it. When it comes to electronic devices I have a Panasonic mini Hi-Fi from ~2005. Never felt like changing it.

What's your record?

The wireless keyboard I bought in circa 1996 as a keyboard/mouse combo is still going strong and I abuse that thing. Frankly I can't believe it still works. I'll be heartbroken when it finally fails. Funny thing is the mouse is long gone.

Almost 30 year old keyboard? Amazing. What model is that?

It's a Logitech. On the bottom it says:

M/N Y-RB6 RT7ROO P/N 867074-0100

Cordless iTouch keyboard. It's just astonishing.
