I've participated in a number of collectible hobbies over several decades.   Participating in the keyboard hobby for 3/4 of a year has been short-lived but enjoyable.   My touch-typing has more than doubled in speed,  I now own 7 keyboards with 2 more group-buys on the way, I gave another keyboard to my son.... I have 40% to 100% boards, Topre, Buckling-Spring, etc....  I probably am $3K-$4K into this hobby, but as far as hobbies go, that is low cost to be pretty immersed with key brands and technologies of the hobby.  Definitely no regrets, but I feel a bit like I've already hit the end of the internet with this one.  It definitely needs to go more upscale, somehow.  I'll still stay engaged, but there hardly is any next thing I seek.   The depth and breadth of the hobby is only slightly deeper than the vacuum collecting and snow blower collecting communities I've participated in... nothing like watches, cameras, knives, TV's, stereos, leather boots or even the barista coffee machine collecting communities, etc....

This may be an unpopular keyboard opinion.

Have you tried doing diving into stuff like handwiring or through hole projects? they are quite a bit different from the normal builds. I wouldn't say it's as in depth as something like photography (not by a long shot) but I still think there is a lot of tinkering, even with one mx board there is tons to experiment with like different switches, springs lubes and plate and keycap combos. I think the main issue is that a lot of that is quite materialistic, and those hobbies tend not to be the most sustainable.

I am digging the Logitech MX Mechanical Mini... Do not even use any other boards anymore.

It even has browns...

I love it.

you gotta love the browns.

One more for 30s and 40s! Alphas and small bars are really all I need. 1u mods are great; some wider mods are nice but not needed. Thanks for exploring it!

If you give me small mod keys for 40s and 30s, I give you money. Very simple. I don't need any keys bigger than 1.75u except spacebars.

Approved
