PC is great but the Keyboard and Mouse are terrible

The PC was excellent and would receive five stars if HP had not supplied the cheapest keyboard I have ever seen. I had to replace the keyboard immediately. The top row of function keys were half height keys and the keyboard did not have a good tactile feel. The mouse also did not feel like a quality peripheral. I was happy to get a system with a DVD R/W drive since I still use DVDs and CDs all the time. I was happy also with the 512 GB solid state C: drive. The last HP I purchased only had a 256 GB drive and it constantly fills up.
No issues so far after the 1st month. You can make your own judgement on Windows 11(there's been worse-Win 8). I would note that HP AI does not know what is on it's own motherboard. I had inquired about expansion slots. See the following transcript. Much to my surprise and pleasure I found an additional Sata connection with a 5" bay to add an additional HDD. If you want to upgrade the RAM to 16 gb you'll need 2gb modules as the current configuration has 2 4gb's. Overall it seems like a pretty good deal for the money.
Customer What is the maximum amount of memory that can be installed? Are there any unused 2.5, 3.5 or 5 inch expansion slots?
Athena The maximum memory is 16 GB, and it doesn't have unused expansion slots.
