5 tech accessories that are so useful I bought them twice

It doesn't happen very often, but when I find a piece of tech I really like, I sometimes buy it twice. In some cases it's to have a consistent experience wherever I go; other times it's to automatically replace a product I've broken or lost.
Either way, the items on this list all get my highest recommendation.
Anker's Bluetooth keyboard
I haven't used a wired keyboard with my home computer setup in years. Wire clutter bothers me, which is why I switched to Bluetooth.
Anker's keyboard looks and feels like Apple's while being very reasonably priced. I've used this keyboard while traveling with my iPad and at home with my Mac. In fact, outside of work, the only keyboards I use are Anker's.

Logitech's Bluetooth mouse
I wrote an entire article why this is the only mouse I use, but I'll sum up my thoughts here.
It's small, has great battery life, very low latency, and because it's Bluetooth you don't have to worry about plugging in a little USB receiver.
You can customize the function of all of its buttons, which can save you time if you're used to calling up certain advanced settings using complicated key commands. This mouse has ended up saving me time, which is more than I can say for any other one I've used.

Apple's Airport Extreme
I think that Eero's mesh network routers are great for people who live in big spaces, but I've been using an Airport Extreme for years. It's easy to set up, has great range, and got me the internet speed my ISP (Internet Service Provider) said I should be getting.
When my mom complained about having slow internet in her small place in Florida, I immediately bought this router — and it's been smooth sailing ever since.
