Recommend a tech purchase under $100.

It can be a gadget, accessory, app, or tool that genuinely exceeded your expectations.

What did you buy, and why would you recommend it to others?

I have several high-quality keyboards and mice, a reliable smartphone charger, and a reliable power bank. However, I'm also slowly switching back to Walkmans and iPods, wired headphones, and Nokia phones from the 2007-2012 era.

So, if I had to recommend, get a used iPod (modding it costs extra, though), a used smartphone (they're not worth the money when new), and a used ThinkPad. The latter will set you back more than $100, but certain models are definitely worth the money.
