I work in IT, and just buy the small stuff myself with my own money for home use.
For the past six years, I have been buying accessories for my work office as well if I don't like the standard-issue stuff in the store room. Two years ago, the guy in charge of desktop hardware was in my office and noticed that I had a $169 mechanical "clicky" keyboard and not one of the $15 throwaways that they give out to everyone. When he asked how I got it approved, I told him to look at the "personal property" tag on the bottom where our inventory asset tag should have been located. He was shocked that I would use my own money, but I spend 9 hours per day (pre-COVID) at my keyboard and should have what I'm comfortable with.....
