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.

A basic mechanical keyboard will last 20+ years and will be a nice typing experience for all those years. I'm old enough to have seen mechanical keyboards go for 20 or more years under heavy use and plenty of non-mechanical keyboards going bad after 5 years or so with similar use. It's a great purchase.
