Got me an HHKB Type-S and a Realforce 23UB, lovely boards. My only gripe is that the copy/paste keys on the 23 work with key codes, so when I'm using Dvorak, they don't do anything (useful)!
Also hi @HoffmanMyster ! I wish I could make more use of your board

Oh hey! That's kind of unfortunate about the 23UB. :-/ Looks like you'll have to switch back to QWERTY!

Managed to figure out AHK

Away ye dirty QWERTY!

Rotations between the LZ-SQ and the SSK lately.

FaceU is back into the closet for now, with the Nerd60, the 5k, the RS96.

I need to lighten my collection :x

Switched over from a Das to a KUL ES-87. It's amazing how much more solid the KUL feels than the the Das. I'm really pleased with the build quality of these things.

No I got a Lightsaver, I need the tenkey to do data. I'll keep the GON as a LAN board I guess.

Having a go with the HHKB at long last. The layout is fun, but the sounds of the center-most keys are super clackey compared with the rest and it sounds a little odd when typing.

For some CS GO I use the black QFR pictured here with MX Red. The backplate is red, though you can't see it in the photos.

Each one has four different tones of thick PBT keycaps.

I had to put the light colored caps in the bottom-right corner of the QFR because I struggle to pick the right button for changing teams and classes in some games. It's easy to use them when typing, but picking them out at random isn't as easy to do quickly.

Sorry, I just can't take you seriously after you refused to believe that black and white keys were made the same.

I just got a novatouch today. Threw on my vortex PBTs and waiting for lube + EK landingpads in mail. I like it though! I was worried it would let me down as a TKL replacement of my 103UB but it didn't dissapoint.

I have a Model M 122 that I'll be converting from ISO to ANSI, and the more info I can get the easier it should be.

There are a few guides around already, but I like as much information as I can get

I'm using a V80 with clears as my main board and a Noppoo Nano 75 S modded with 67g clears (+ mx grey spacebar and gateron yellow on FN) on my HTPC which I love since it doubles as mouse

I got some gateron blues on the way and am still not sure what to do with them since I don't plan on desoldering the noppoo again... maybe on a different board (or a second 75 S)

I recently put some o-rings on my Ducky YoTG with blacks to see if I would enjoy it. I thought the o-rings would make them much more enjoyable to type on, but I can't decide if I like the result. I can say without a doubt, that o-rings on mx-greens is NOT for me. Waiting for my Zealios to arrive so I can put them on my Pok3r.
