There’s some cheap 2.5gbps managed switches on AliExpress if you’re willing to import. I think that speed for switches is still kind of uncommon so you have relatively few offerings in Western countries.

I just overuse parantheses instead, as you noted. You know you’re rambling when you have several layers of them, like I’m writing a conversation in Lisp.
