Sourcing specialized and industrial components is a PITA.
The worst is when manufacturers use customized ASICs with no replacements. So either some entrepreneur is extracting them for resale or else you're stuck finding an identical donor.
AirTags don't work with older Duracell "child-proof" CR2032s because they're just slightly undersized. It's not the coating because I removed it with solvents and was able to manually press them into the contacts, but no about of bending the cover's "wing springs" would position them correctly. [0]
WASD V3 keyboards used a proprietary USB-C cable that is longer than commercially available.[1,2,3] I also asked support about replacing a USB-C receptacle but they ghosted me. Furthermore, they promised a Mac firmware update utility that never arrived.[4] My conclusion is that it's fly-by-night startup rather than a business. :[
I have an old Logitech MX Revolution (non-BT) that sellers still offer rechargeable batteries and pads for. Props to them for keeping classics alive.
