it's extremely annoying that on the Mac, mouse thumb buttons do not work by default. Why? of course, noboby'd buy Apple's mouse or trackpad if so.
one thing annoying on the Mac is that in Safari, it doesn't support holding Ctrl or Cmd and scroll mouse wheel to zoom in/out. It's trivial to support, but Apple's lose sale for its trackpad.

spend $220 on amazon, or, how i became a keyboard expert
Spend $220 on amazon. That's, like, biggest spending in 12 years. A shoe, a mouse, a USB hub, a web cam. Necessity for rich living.
when u wanna buy a keyboard, u spend days to read all reviews. undecided. it becomes months. Then after 10 years of daily fretting, you still haven't decided which one to buy. That's how you became a keyboard expert.
the things i got are:
- NIKE Men's Tanjun Sneakers Buy at amazon
- Anker 10 Port USB Hub. 〔see USB Hub and Cable〕
- Logitech C920 Webcam Review
- Logitech G502 Mouse
(2020-07-30 addendum. That Nike shoe sucks. It wears a hole on top after a year. The webcam also sucks. Can't focus near. The mouse and USB hub rule.)

enamel paint your keyboard
just got a great idea. just buy some enamel paint, and you can paint your keyboard pretty.
you can see a example at Kinesis Advantage Keyboard Gallery
you can go basic by painting home key with diff color, or the esc key. Or, paint dvorak label, or on programable keypad.
or, you can go artistic. at that point, anything goes. comics, drawings, math formula, abstract, or whole thing pink Cadillac.
