I often hear, "You should never cheap out on a good office chair, shoes, underpants, backpack etc.." but what are some items that you would feel OK to cheap out on?

This can by anything from items such as: expensive clothing brands to general groceries.

I'm not sure if it's still the case but even in cheap keyboards if you pay a bit more you they will have better controller that will let you press more keys at once which is important for gaming. I got my mechanical keyboard couple years ago and overnight I stopped making so many typos and I can type much faster. My plan was to check the keyboard out for a week, write a ton of documentation for work and send it back but now I don't regret paying extra for it, in fact I think it's the second most important component of you computer after the fastest hard drive you can get.

the fastest hard drive you can get.

I'm assuming that by "hard drive", you mean "don't actually use a hard drive unless you need extra storage". You'd want an SSD for speed.
