Edit: so it turns out that every hobby can be expensive if you do it long enough.

Also I love how you talk about your hobby as some addicts.

Ditto on that. Thought I was content with my first ergo but one thing after another led to an artisan keyboard with CNC backplates and plates, 2 year long group buys, and artisans to match the whole theme that costs the same as the keyboard. At this point I'm so far in the hole that my artisan keycap collection cost more than my keyboard collection.

It's just another one of those hobbies that has many moving parts so you can optimize and personalize each part.
