I really don't understand the need to put LED's in everything these days - what possible use was there for LED's in my headphones?*

That's to help guide the sniper from across the street.

I've got to finish the final Last Dose mission - the truck got blown up on the way back to the city when I tried it pre-Covid - but I haven't got the enthusiasm.

Should be an easy mission.
Make sure you go get the reward car, otherwise once it disappears off the map, you won't get it again unless you re-do the mission.

I have a small piece of note paper covering the three LEDs on my keyboard. The lights are only ever on when I hit a wrong key anyway.

Last time I touched my typist I nearly got arrested.

We got married in Georgia...or was it Tahoma? Not sure I was drugged and dragged and woke up just in time for the vows.

It was a military wedding.
Well, ... there were guns there, let's put it that way!

I did, in high school, it didn't take.
Besides, typing code is nothing like typing prose. If you spend more time writing documentation than coding, then maybe that's a benefit, but you don't, do you?

Yeah I'm finding that out.
They just don't make them like they they used too.

You've done well. My keyboard hasn't had W, E, R, T, I, O, A, S, D, F, G, K, L, C, V, N, M, < or > for years. Actually that was a useful exercise, hitting all the "blank" keys - I was wondering what some of them did.
Really limits my choices for variable names though, especially since I've not seen a vowel (except U) since 2019.
And there's a long key at the bottom that I don't think ever was labelled in the first place...

Don't know if I am repeating, but any bright blue LED's will cause problems with human sleep over time.
Scientific proof.
So avoid them. Not so bright, not so much.
I have very dim blue backlight on my temporary keyboard
another reason for shopping around for new one.

My computer stays in my office, and I don't sleep there (except during Teams calls).

I have had a Microsoft Comfort Curve keyboard for years and it gets heavy use every day. Only left, right and down cursor keys are missing their markings; all the others are completely intact. (No, I don't play games or anything like that - just coding and documentation.)
Oh, and part of the Microsoft logo is worn away.
It's not a brilliant keyboard (it makes lots of tryping mistakes) but it's good enough that I don't want to be looking for anything else.

Get them to replace it with a Cherry Brown version instead of Cherry Blue - they lack the audible "click" that makes them noisy.
