When I was in the beginning stages of building space wealth, I accidentally listed the remainder of a partial stack of keys for the price of a single while doing the usual routine of listing them for slightly more than the price I'd bought them earlier in the day. They sold instantly and I had to call it a day.
It didn't hit so hard because the only real reason I had that many keys at that point was because other people were making the same mistake and I was camping the exchange seriously enough to buy a good number of them when these mistakes would happen. Had I not been aware of how common this mistake was, nor had I been the beneficiary of it so many times, I probably would have been a lot more discouraged by making the same mistake myself.
In the end, losses happen and the preventable ones are often caused simply by failing to pay close enough attention during the critical moments, or failing to take the proper precautions.
For example, I've got a mouse that likes to double-click on its own. When I'm moving around extremely valuable consumable items, I tend to open a bank window or some other window that prevents the item from being eaten if it's double-clicked. For this reason, dragging some items into the exchange search bar in order to avoid having to type the name of the item is out of the question - too risky.
Well, I like to buy things the second I think I want them. It's not an awful thing, but it's a bit hard to save up credits, without spending hours every day staring at the exchange's search button and preying on other people's mistakes and generosity.
I have a good collection of universal consoles now, and I love them all.

Wouldn't it be a better solution to buy a new mouse?

I'm also old and prone to misfires of muscle memory. I'm not a gamblin' man, it's more practical to simply engage safety protocols.
