So a bit of a rant here, but has the physical quality of all HW wallets crap. Or is it just me?
I now have:
1) A relatively new (2023 Black Friday sale) Keystone 3 Pro with a 100% dead rechargeable battery. Only works when plugged in.
2) A ColdCard 3 with a bad screen
3) Old Ledger Nano X with the bad battery issue (yes it's old but....)
4) Two trezors with bad USB ports

I am NOT that hard on them. Unless I am signing something they stay in a locked safe.

And wait for it....the only one that I kind of killed myself was an old Keystone that when we moved offices I didn't remember where I put it and it (1) sat in freezing temperatures for a couple of weeks and then (2) wound up bouncing off a cement floor when it fell out of the box it was in since I didn't remember putting in in there. So now that one does not turn on either. But that I will put on me. I thought it was in the lockbox but I must have put it in box with other collectables when moving for some reason.
