If you are handy with basic soldering and some programming, you could easily wire these to a controller, and program them to a key. That’s what I did with the ones I had.

Are you looking for a bare pedal that you can wire to a controller, or something that’s ready to plug in?

For something that’s ready to be wired to a controller, I used a couple of these: https://www.amazon.com/Momentary-Operated-Controller-Industrial-Anti-Skid/dp/B07KN6GLYD

They’re a single firm clicky button, with relatively short travel. I never really had any issue with them being pressed too easily.

My mom buys these cheap LED bulbs from Amazon and about half burn out quickly (probably 10% are DOA).

We have 100% LEDs throughout our fifth wheel (about 30 of them), and they are all still going strong (all installed in 2015, and used daily since then).

I think there’s a serious difference in quality available and it certainly shows.

In 2008(ish) we rewired our house (built in the '20s) and replaced every fixture. We probably had 25 CFL bulbs (most in ceiling fans), and had no losses for the several years that we owned the house after that. But I remember paying way more for bulbs in years before that and having them all fail fairly quickly.

Just switching to a basic qwerty layout for gaming would simplify that quite a lot

This … I’ve been a Dvorak typist for 15+ years. I have a querty layer for gaming, and a second Dvorak layer for when I switch from Windows to MAC so that I can use my same single key chords (cut / copy / paste / undo / redo / etc).

Xcode seems to get worse with each release.

The really basic things that it’s missing are frustrating too, like bookmarks. This has been a feature of every other IDE I’ve used since '98 when I started programing in VB6.

A few versions ago they removed the ability to tear a tab out of the IDE to have it open separately.

The local .NET user groups in my region have dried up over the last decade, but we used to have a few great ones, and yearly regional code camps. The community that I’ve dealt with has always been great.

Lippert is one of the two or three manufacturers that makes pretty much everything in or on an RV.

They own Thomas Payne (furniture), Furrion (most of the interior electronics), and probably a bunch more that I can’t remember at this point.

They aren’t a Grand Design company, but GD doesn’t have too many choices when it comes to RV parts, and Lippert is probably the largest player in the market.
