So after one year and a thousand posts I thought it might be time to post my little collection. There is still a lot more in the mail and in GBs that haven't finished yet which I will update later.
Buckling SpringIBM Model M 1391403This was my first mechanical keyboard which I got at my first ebay auction (that I almost lost, iirc the difference to my maximum offer was like 1€). I still use it in a keyboard drawer if I need a numpad, but I'll have to bolt mod it someday. Still, a great keyboard which I would recommend for starters that want to know what mechancial keyboards are all about, because if you're lucky you can find them for quite cheap.
Cherry MXKBT PureMy second mech that I got after researching a lot about it on Geekhack. Used to have Browns with o-rings, but I couldn't stand them after using it for about half a year. I switched them out for some Vintage Blacks by WhiskyTango with 65g springs and they're fantastic. I still use it as my main keyboard. Caps are from WASD Keyboards and a Triumph Adler typewriter, the Esc was painted with nail polish by my girlfriend.
Leopold FC220RTI got this one a few days ago and use it since then. Blanks surely take some getting used to but I'm getting there (I'm a slow typist anyways). It has some MX Blues and is actually my first plate mounted keyboard (if you don't count the Model M which is not really plate mounted). I like the Blues but might use heavier or lighter springs in it - both options have their pros and cons. Definately confirms my choice of MX Whites for my GH60.
Sun Type 5 keyboardThis one is kind of rare as most Sun Type 5 keyboards are not mechanical while this one uses MX Blacks. It's a neat board but I haven't decided what to do with it yet, I might sell it or harvest keycaps and switches from it.
Cherry G80-1500This one has been bought for the keycaps but the switches are nice as well - smooth Vintage Blacks. I know there is still quite a few people who think that there is no difference between normal and Vintage Blacks, but if I compare it to the Sun keyboard, there sure is. Switches will get harvested for a future project.
AlpsApple M0120Still haven't direct wired this... Has some T-mount Alps which are to heavy for my taste, but it will get new springs. Some springs are currently missing because I tested them in other switches etc.
NTC 6251 PCBGot this PCB from Tinlong because I wanted to try some Alps. I really like them, they feel great and sound a lot better than MX Blues in my opionion. The plate is plastic and broken, but I will harvest the switches anyways when I have a nice PCB to put them on.
Other stuffPravetz KBD-8ANice keyboard with beautiful caps and some reed switches. I have found a source for springs that fit and will try to design a PCB for the switches. Already have an idea for a case but I'm not sure how much I want to invest, it really depends on how the PCB comes out and how good the switches feel after cleaning and lubing.
Peacock branded G81I bought this keyboard just for the case, came in the original Peacock box which has a beautiful color. It will house a Leeku PCB when I can get my hands on one.
My collection is still fairly small but in the last few months it has increased quite a bit, I hope I can continue that trend. I'm now getting to a point where I have to think about storage...
I also noticed that I have a lot more switches than I have keycaps or PCBs - that will have to change
