About €500, but it's a self built charybdis paid for by work :D

How'd you get the paid for work part?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 4 days ago (1 children)

Well I already had gotten myself another ergonomic keyboard before (kyria v1) because my wrists would hurt when using a "normal" keyboard, and I didn't want to drag it around all the time out of fear that it might break.

I set my eyes on the charybdis for the next build and realised that I would need it more in the office than at home so I asked whether it could be a business expense, and they approved so long as I could give them the receipts :).

Nice! What sort of company do you work for uoud say? Small / large / start up / middle tier?

Might try the same if I ever need to go to office :p

Definitely large, over 60k employees. But honestly it shouldn't really matter as, at least for me, it was basically a requirement for me to get any work done.

OK but then it's owned by the business then in this case. Also fine.. If you already have one at home.

Well technically true, but they're gonna let me keep it anyway because let's be real, who else wants a charybdis?
