I wouldn't expect my employer to provide anything but a decent quality membrane keyboard and a middle of the range logitech mouse by default. Then people who prefer higher end hardware can ask for an upgrade.

I'm typing on a 300 euro keyboard right now but I would consider it a gross waste of money if a company decided to give them to every single employee regardless of need or preference. For instance for most people better chairs and desks would be a vastly better investment, ergonomy-wise.

> membrane keyboard

I can't type on these things to save my life. I need full keys with at least some click in order to type well. When I'm forced to use the keyboard and trackpad on my mac, I am an order of magnitude slower than I am on a cheap external keyboard and mouse.

That's why people should get a budget to pick their own gear.
