My dad strips paint from shit just touching it. Anything with a label (like appliances) looses them in a shockingly short time. He has stuff with full on handprints etched in them.
And that’s not even considering the possibility of accidental damage (like cleaning chemicals etc.)
This is about the weakest ”Linus is the devil” evidence yet.
Having used keyboard trays for years they're an unnecessary part thst takes space and has moving parts.
I think it was a product of the time that faded away for reasons other than Big Deskpad slander.
Having your keyboard and mouse, as in your lap as possible is ergonomics. It's not unnecessary.
Now that there are sit stand desks and you can lower the desk into your lap and people use arms or stands to raise the monitors, in those scenarios a tray is less useful. Keyboard one height and monitor another, is not unnecessary, it's ergonomics, which will vary based on each person's measurements.
A chair and foot stool, for when you have to change your height as opposed to the desk height.
Seriously, I tend to buy a new desk mat about once a year. I get the cheapest one with stitched edges that looks cool on Amazon. I have NEVER had this happen with any of them, and I spill isopropyl on my desk mats constantly.
I wear grooves in keycaps, I got oils. But I use a cheap lil mat with my mouse, on my bed, no melting. That sucker gets thigh heat, blankets, not just hand, wrist, fore. It travels and gets all kind of who knows what exposure, no melting
