What is something really stupid you purchased that turned out far better than expected?
I bought a piece of 1.5 inch stiff foam to try to fix a sag in a bed. It didn't work but having that thick piece of solid foam around has been a life saver.
Need something flat to put a laptop on? Throw it on the foam. Going to be doing something that requires you to be on your knees for a while? Get the foam!
It went from stupid purchase to something I'd gladly replace if it broke.
What do you do for motion control? Tried this but was at an absolute loss as to how to shoot arrows, aim sheika slate runes effectively before I just broke down and bought a pro-controller
There's no situation in BoTW where high precision is needed.
Keyboard provides enough of it.
And, after you destroy the "ninja" clan, there's an abundance of bows that shoot 2 arrows.
Then, when you deal with flying divine Beast, you acquire triple arrow shooting bow that you can fix everytime it breaks.
Even a run of the mill gamerboard with no-name switches is better than pretty much any membrane board, but particularly one that's competing on looks. You can even grab a set of of circular keycaps for $15 or less if you must have the typewriter look.
