Title: Is this it?
Post by: keyboardlover on Tue, 01 March 2011, 21:11:46

I now have more keyboards that I love than I'm even using (4). I'm sick of buying/selling keyboards and there's nothing coming out that I find really interesting.

What do you think? Is this it for me?

you need to sell some to buy new ones and restart the cycle. It's called the cycle of life from the smash hit tiger king.

You haven't try the fake cherry switches too.
I want to try the alps plate spring switch and the oki switch:doh:

Mod your keyboards

Build your own keyboards

Sell them

At the crossroads are you?  The altruistic path will never let you down.  I mean, just think about the rest of us whose fascination for these fine creations is just budding!

I went through this "'boardem" for awhile.  I think it occurs when there you have tried "everything" and you still haven't found your perfect 'board.  I have had a little renaissance of late snatching up a few keyboards to try.  I am really hoping the Poker turns out the be the "HHKB with brown Cherrys" I'm hoping it is.

The thing is, I love all my boards though. Well, mainly my 87U and my two custom G80s. All three are perfect for me.

I feel ya KL, keyboards aren't like video cards. They don't drop 5 a year :biggrin:.

Then maybe that's it.  You have found nirvana, and you no longer need new keyboards.  It's like dating and finding a future wife.  Or wives in your case.

That's why I'm still here.  My two would be a HHKB with Cherry browns/Topres that felt like a RF or a MS Natural 4000 with Cherry browns.  I'm hoping the Poker takes care of the first one.

I have 3 smokin' hot girlfriends. I feel like Charlie Sheen, minus the 7 gram rocks.
