Security screws on professional-grade electronics are, in my estimation, insulting.

"Here you go! Have a piece of equipment that requires specialist tools to open for cleaning!"

This post brought to you by my Kensington ProFit Ergo trackball's tri-wing screws. I was annoyed enough by hiding the screws under the friction pads on the base, but fuckin' tri-wing screws too? On something that will *inevitably* become full of Human Debris and will equally-inevitably require disassembly for cleaning? Fuck your design philosophy, Kensington.

@ElectricKeet Oh, I know. *glares at their DS from across the room*
