Nice! I'm considering a full white key/black base RF87 55g but need to work out finances first.

Currently using Varmilo VA87MN. Not thrilled w/Gateron Browns, but I love the heft and stability of this board.

Just swapped over to my NEC APC-H4100E with NEC blue oval switches for the weekend.

Using my Quickfire Rapid in reds until my HHKB arrives. Hope it doesn't take me too long to learn the layout.

The time it takes to learn is somewhat dependent on how "exclusive" you can be in using it. It took me a while as I was trying to use it and a TKL during the same time period.

I Like to juggle between my boards pretty often. Might use it nonstop for a month and see how it goes.

Right now i have 3 topre keyboards connected ... Realforce 87u variable, Leopold FC660C with silenced mods, and an HHKB Type-S. I'm trying to figure out which one I like the most but i'm having a tough time picking.

Were you the one who got that Packard Bell off of eBay recently? The orange indicator label seems like a bit of a clue.

Currently rocking my GH60 with steel LeandreN plate, black Pok3r case (temporary), JTK WoB and moderately lubed 67g Zealios.

These switches lubed are quite the experience. Believe it or not, they almost resemble Topre, oddly enough...Sounds crazy, I know.

Thanks for sharing that inspirational image! This is a fairly new hobby for me... still planning on what to buy/build to take to work.

Thanks! I tried a few different ones, but that one seemed to fit the best. I really love HKP's caps they don't get nearly enough love IMO.

Nothing has come close. Lubed Zealios Planck. Nah. 65g Ergo Pok3r. Nah.

I have high hopes for my Ergodox, but I'm going to have to trade my Zealios for some Cherry MX Clears

KUL 87 ES my favorite TKL hands down, if it wasn't for me vastly preferring 60%'s i'd still have them all. Parting with my last KUL this week at a local sale.

Spend $300 on a handbag that you use a couple times a year - That's fine

Spend $300 on a keyboard you use daily - Ridiculous

My wife actually doesn't care too much, she's told me as long as everything is paid for and our savings account is increasing rather than decreasing I can do whatever. I do our budgeting though, so sometimes she might not know exactly how much something costs but I also have a hard cap on how much I'll spend in a month on keyboard stuff so that things don't get out of hand.
