What consumeristic and somewhat pointless hobby do you have?

The one thing that I personally really got into was mechanical keyboards. It all started with one cheap secondhand Corsair RGB mechanical gaming keyboard that I got when I was 15. I thought it was the coolest thing ever because it was shiny and loud. That led to many different keyboards and keyboard accessories. Notable ones include:

GMMK Pro 70% keyboard with a metal chassis

Anne Pro Bluetooth 60% keyboard

A set of keycaps, which alone cost more than multiple non-fancy keyboards

A couple of hand-soldered macropads that I never got around to using

... The list goes on. It was fun, but after buying the keycaps, I realized that, for the sake of my bank account and financial stability, I had probably acquired enough keyboards for the time being.

What is your costly and somewhat pointless hobby/obsession?
