Specializing in subjects is how humans have conquered the planet. As we continue to evolve and require less competition to survive, we have to actively control our impulses. Self-control is a critical life skill for mental health.
It's absolutely okay to enjoy something like mechanical keyboards, but it's not okay to have it interrupt the rest of your life. When people say they are obsessed, I like to rephrase it (when applicable) as chronically obsessed when it is negatively impacting their other priorities in life.
