is something an impulse buy if you've wanted it for more than a year?

someone on the PuPPy Slack was upgrading, so I am now the proud owner of a second-hand ergodox keyboard. I had been looking at building one but what with supply chain shit the components are sold out or priced sky high; this one is designed with pop-out key switches so if I decide I want a different feel later I can do that.

meanwhile I will be learning to type again; the former owner said two weeks to get used to normal touch typing with ortholinear keys and two months to really nail your perfect placement and master layer switching.

not sure why I feel like this is the time for doing new things with hands but there you go. It's not like I'm going to take up COLEMAK...

Possibly, but it's clearly a very well managed impulse.
What a cool looking keyboard! If I typed more than I do, and did it sitting at a desk, I might well consider such a thing.

That looks pretty sweet. I don't think it's an impulse buy at all. You pondered the idea for a year to figure out exactly what you wanted, saw something that would work and snapped it up. Bonus points for buying used, too.
