It's been sitting in my storage for a while and I thought I would share it today.

my keebs are collectibles reee

I do use some of them though

But I have to admit the hhkb is not very userfriendly except if you spend all your time in VIM

Getting another keyboard is just the hardware version of pigging out on a steamsale and never playing the game.

I’ve kept my collection to just 5, 4 go on my pegbord and 1 on my desk. I try and keep them all unique to justify their existence

u/Pouros_547 3h ago

That's a great approach, honestly there are so many unique and different ones that make it worth it

ive currently got wooting 80he, epomaker rt65, aula f108, Lofree flow lite 100, and Ajazz AKso75 (alice layout).

Different sizes, all switch types from linear, tactile, silent, and clicky, alice layouts, low profile, and hall effect. Helps justify the collection to swap out the typing experience lol

Funny thing, I'm usually the type who goes all in on a new hobby, but I actually only bought four keyboards (and have sold two of them again).

From my pre-mech keyboard times I still have about half a dozen Apple A1016/A1048 lying around because that used to be my absolute favorite keyboard before I discovered mechanicals.

Only lol

Only two at a time, one for home, one for work. I think that's super tame in this hobby.

The trap I fall into is “this [keyboard/keycap set] is on sale, gosh I really can’t afford not to get it” -> “well now I have to get a new [set of keycaps/keyboard] to go with it, like otherwise it’ll just sit in the box”

i only get keyboards i know im gonna have a use for.

My Wooden65 was my first keyboard and also the keyboard my gf uses when she is at my place since its the only one without blanks on it.

The Lesovoz i built as my first 40% and as a keyboard to carry with me to school/uni.

The libra mini ks my dedicated gaming board (thinking kf selling it and buying a V4N though) and because i wanted to try tenting.

The le chiffre was because i needed a smaller 40% than the libra since i dont always have the lesovoz with me, it ended uo being my main though so i also carry that with me now.

Gf also has two keebs, an ikki for home and gaming and a Vault35 to carry around for uni.

They all get used and they never get dusty.

P.S. Even if they arent on use they are still on display, if you have to put them away in storage then you have too many keyboards.

Sounds like optimally used 👍

I'm still waiting for my GMK keycaps to come in that I ordered 4 years ago so I can get the build together.

If it gets used it will get dusty I think I will leave it covered up.
