A place to share practical, durable and quality made products that are made to last, with an emphasis on upcycled and sustainable products!
Guidelines:
Things that are well-made and durable (even if they won't last a lifetime) are A-Okay!
Unlike that other BIFL place, Home-made and DIY items are encouraged here, as long as some form of instruction is included in the body of the post.
Videos links are not allowed as post titles, but you may use them in a text post.
A limited amount of self-promotion is accepted, IF the item you are selling aligns with this criteria:
- The item must be made with sustainable or recycled materials.
- If electronic in some way, the item must be open-source.
- The item must be user-serviceable (if applicable).
- You cannot be a large corporation.
- The post must be clearly marked with a [Self Promotion] tag in your title.

Unlikely. Reason being manufacturers don't want to have to account for whatever janky ni-cad or lithium battery the consumer jams in there, or having to tell the difference between the two because they need to be charged differently. Closest you'll probably get is a mouse that takes AAs and a couple of these or similar. Just leave one in a spare port until you need to change over.
Amazon link for demonstration purposes only, not an endorsement. Also can't vouch for that brand.
Just FYI: There is at least ONE product that has both. See my other comment in the thread if you are interested. ๐
