Or even a lot of people in their 20s and 30s inside the [programming/IT?] industry.
Some people are fine spending 20% of the time to get 80% of the features and are willing to spend a bit more money to do so.
Yep, I'm in that bunch now. I used to be intense into research and DIY.
BUT now I've got more money than time.
So if it comes to my door in 2 days and/or can just be returned.. I don't flinch at $50- 100 premiums.
Not clueless, just not someone who would Google around for reviews or care to get the absolute best. They go to Best Buy. This is virtually every adult I know over age 40/50 outside of the industry. They'll roll up to Best Buy for a new keyboard, see this and think "cool! Some new type of thing!"
A household brand name like Logitech is significant. They've been making mice almost as long as I've had a computer.
