We purchased one of these super el-cheapo ($52) wireless scanners off of Amazon, and staff love it, they want more and more and more of them. They say that it scans significantly faster than our normal scanners. And they like not having a tether. You can turn them into stand alone, store only scanners for inventory. The downside is that they cannot detect when they are in a stand, to switch from trigger mode to barcode detect mode. So they don't work great as a front desk scanner.

Not sure what you are using for ticketing/boards but most of them (Solarwinds/Connectwise/Spiceworks) have some sort of Asset Mgmt. Create configs and plop in the barcodes.
Get extra fancy and make your own barcodes with a barcode printer (https://www.newegg.com/Barcode-Label-Printers/SubCategory/ID-3031) and stick barcodes on everything.
Then when that one switch dies, instead of having to try and figure out which config has the credentials for that switch or which config has the latest backup config, just scan the thing.
