Heh, not the neighbors. It's the guys I game with over the internet. They didn't complain but they could hear the clickity-clack when I was key mashing.

Aight, good point; I'm on "push to talk", with the button to activate it on the mouse for that reason. That and the humming, singing and whining

Looks like an Amiga-keyboard?

Is it worth the price of admission?
One thing you should keep in mind is that the Avant Prime and Stellar are PC keyboards that use a PS/2 connection. That IS stellar; especially if the most important feature is just a PS/2 connection.

Plain simple DELL based. One that makes me feel key was pressed.

For me a keyboard must have an LED on the Caps Lock key. Using a Logitech K520r.

Yo momma so fat, she became the codename for the FAT256 filesystem. She so FAT, Google File System refused to replicate her.

Long story short:
- August 2016 - Purchase Lumia 640
- August 2018 - Purchase replacement battery as the original spontaneously got swollen
- Today - Woke up to a swollen battery again
If I'm doing it wrong, I'd love to know what it is.
When the phone isn't in my pockets, it's sitting in a dock (and recharging) - that's what happened last time...but right now - it was fine last evening, it spent the night in my pockets and I found it in this state just a few minutes ago.
I'm more than willing to give the phone manufacturer a pass, just like no car manufacturer makes its own batteries...but I'm still less than impressed.
Honestly, do I have unrealistic expectations?

Lumia 640, so...yeah.
Don't get me started on the alternatives. It was fully supported and got updates for far longer than any of the Android tablets I have (which are all freeze and crash-prone even shortly after factory resets). My dad's phone is running Android 9, and it frequently has to be rebooted (or else things stop working randomly). This is the still best they can do?
And I refuse to give Apple any money.
The remaining options are...underwhelming.

I have a Huawei P30 Lite (Android) which replaced my Moto-G (Android) and they've both been fine.
The P30 in particular updates itself - politely - by asking if you want to do it now, or leave it, in which case is "between 2AM and 4AM Ok with you?"
I don't think I've had to turn it off or reboot it yet, and I've had it a while. The Moto-G was the same in that respect.
But ... My Nexus 7 had to be forced back to a previous OS version because it slugged it to death.
Android is a pretty good phone OS - better than iOS, certainly, and probably better than Win 8 / 8.1 / 10. I wouldn't want to run Win10 on anything with a 16cm screen - I get enough finger trouble on my Surface!

I have 4 Android tablets. I feel like I'd be a fool to get "one more, in case that one works better". They all remind me of Windows 3.1 in terms of how unstable it is - completely freezing, random reboots, having to reboot because things become unresponsive, etc. Android has always left me thinking we went back 25 years in terms of reliability. And like I said, my dad's phone, running Android 9 (the phone with the most recent version of the OS I've tinkered with) still needs to be rebooted regularly, or else you the screen becomes unresponsive when people call and you're trying to answer...

Is the charger faulty? That is, is it not trickle charging but over charging instead? You may also want to measure the charger's output voltage and current to ensure that it's within spec.

That gets horrible complicated - modern chargers negotiate with the power management circuits in the phone as to the power and voltage they will accept at any moment (from 3.3V to 20V in the case of Qualcomm Quick Charge 4 and above, 3.3V to 12V below that.)
So metering the charger probably isn't a useful option - it'll depend on the result of negotiation, and we mere mortals aren't necessarily going to know what is "expected" anymore. Some chargers even use pulse charging, so you'd need a scope to work out what kind of voltage is being applied anyway!

Who knows...? I let it charge itself through the dock, and if not, then a regular USB cable coming from the hub hooked up to my main system.

Like Richard says, you're probably overcharging it.
Swelling happens if the (lithium) battery is kept near or over maximum voltage for a prolonged time.
