Awesome collection! Thanks for sharing.Thanks :) Artisan caps are supposed to be used and I only have what I can use and has also a meaning to me.
Love the way you've used those artisan caps. :D

Use 'em or lose 'em!From the artisan caps my favorite is the Candy Corn Blank, and it has nothing to do with the fact that it is a CC. All the artisan caps have a meaning and a little story and in that lays the value for me.
Do you have a favorite?

From the boards it's the [CTRL]ALT 60.
Gon Nerd60 has diamond style arrow keys like hhkb?For GOn boards you can go here http://www.gonskeyboardworks.com/ but the wait time is pretty long. But any programmable keyboard can get you that layout, GH60, winkeyless.kr , all are programmable and you can put any layout you want.
That layout looks freakin' like what I want... HHKB in cherry-flavor.
Where can I buy that?

And updated with the GH60, a keyboard like all compact keyboards should be, light, easy to program, no complications like flashy LED's and crap like that. One thing I have realised, the best 60% cases are the stock plastic ones. For someone like me who likes to rotate and use all of his boards and take them to work a heavy case is a huge minus. And I don't even like the feel of the switches with an alu case that much...
That's the same with HHKB... really light. I don't feel the weight in my bag.For that is very important, I like to use my boards and not just worship them, so being able to carry them with me and have a constant rotation is very important. I'm thinking very seriously to ditch one of the alu cases and replace it with a plastic one.

The silver board with Galaxy Class is permanently at home on my home media center, it looks good there and it's used. The Vortex alu case is slim and doesn't add to much weight, but the blue case is way to heavy to take it with me and to just used it at home from time to time is a shame, and in a combo with acrylic plate is not that nice I could say even tiring to my fingers...
Yeah I really use my boards at well. I don't just look at them like pieces of arts. Alu cases are really nice on the desk though, but yeah too heavy for day-to-day traveling.I feel the same, the keyboard is a very important tool for me, I use it at least 8h a day and, since I have discovered mechanical boards, especially 60% my life quality has improved (at work and in my free time too).

It's very important too look nice, I try to match the theme of the board I'm using with my mood, but I'm always keeping usability on the first place.
The boards I had at work were utter crap, we had some Dell rubber domes, GOD those were awful it felt like typing on jellyfish wrapped in wet toilet paper. And so much space wasted with all the keys I never use. The day I discovered 60% my life just got better :)
We also have these crappy gray dell domes at the office.. never used em (for longer than 5 minutes). I always take my own board with me.Yep, I do the same. Those boards are horrible, every time I have to type on one of my colleagues computer it makes my skin crawl. What it's really surprising is that so few people understand how important are keyboards, they invest in all sorts of crap for ergonomics but keyboards are not part of that ...

Worst than that are laptops and the track pads, those are a killer too ... I've always felt so unnatural to use the laptop track pad, your fingers are in the most awkward position, it hurts only looking at it ... which reminds me that I have to buy a decent mouse :)) I've been so focused on the keyboard that I kept using the same cheap Microsoft mouse (which is not that bad in the end). So next on the list is a mouse I have always loved and felt so comfortable to use, a Razer Abyssus .
Interesting mouse, worth considering :) Thanks for the tip :thumb:
Track pads on the Mac are very nice but as you said, weird on the wrist if you don't have the proper position while using it.
One funny thing, I forgot to show my 60% keyboard storage box :Show Image(http://i.imgur.com/AJDMDOq.jpg)
And this is the box where I keep all my caps:Show Image(http://i.imgur.com/I04wrwg.jpg)
There is also the Mionix Castor that gets a lot of praise, but I haven't used it myself.Interesting, I like a classic shape in a mouse. I have tried the more exotic shapes, like vertical mouse and other futuristic shapes and I just can't get used to that ...
I'm now holding out until Mionix makes a mouse with the 3366 sensor from the Logitech G502.

Yep, the storage is a little ghetto, but that's an original Haribo box from the factory in Bonn :cool: and my 60% keyboards fit perfectly inside. And none of the boards sits there for ages as each has it's turn once a couple of weeks.
Do you literally stack them on top of each other? Or a bit sideways..?Nooo, never on top of each other, that kills the poor switches. Each board is stacked sideways with space between the boards. That's why the Haribo box is perfect. And each keyboard has its own sleeve. And if a keyboard sits on the desk I put a microfiber cloth on top of it when I'm not using it (during the night for example), this keeps the dust away.
I'm always a bit anxious to stack them literally on top because I fear that the springs may become weakened if I leave them there for longer times.

That photo was a bit messy, it was during the "photo shoot" , otherwise I have everything in perfect order, I hate a pileup of keyboards that are close to falling all over you.
