had a dream last night where someone at work had this sweet looking old mech keyboard and we talked for hours.

10/10 would read again?

Well it could do with a tl;dr but you know...

I realized the other day that I have eight boards... Yeah I'm a bit of a nutter.
G80-1800 (Vintage Blacks), Leopold FC200RE/AW (Ergo Clears), 10/14/87 IBM Model M 1390876 (Buckling Spring), Z-150 Zenith Keyboard (Linear Complicated Green ALPS), Fujitsu Peerless, Phantom (MX Blues), CM QFR (55g MX Blacks, Red stickers), CM QFR (MX Blacks)

Got into the community in November of 2012 after I smashed by Apple BT keyboard to bits. I now have 3 keyboards with a Phantom being built and two Pokers that I plan to build up myself. All this in three months. :eek:
Having fun, but sometimes this habit hobby scares me. LOL! :p
-
I didn't realize I had as many boards as I do. Considering I got 5 of the 8 for free, I didn't keep track.
-
i'm not :p

I am merely a "hobbyist" and "enthusiast" and - maybe - just bumping up against the bottom threshold of "collector"

3 keyboards, 3 months, $130.
All within a month of finding this site.
I'm actually really satisfied right now. The only switches that I really want to try now are MX Red and Topre.

Only $130???
what keyboard did you got?
I'm planning to build one GH60 and only the switches are going to be almost half of it ...

You say that now. We'll see how many boards you have in 3 months :P
-
Kidding me? I've been having a few keyboard related dreams lately. Better than dreaming about work.
-
The ones I have are in my signature. The HPE 87 was new but the other 2 were used off Ebay.
I have to admit, every time I see a picture of a Filco, I want to hug the monitor.
-
I once had a dream I was typing on a BS board but the actuation was SO light, it was like cherry red had a baby with a Unicomp.

That's called a model f my friend.
-
That would be the mother of all keyboards.
-
about 3 months of constant activity for me
3 boards and 3 more getting built/in transit
about 3k spent.
-
I'm fond to 60% metal cases but I will have to sell one kidney to pay for it ...

I do envy you. Even buying used stuff the shipping cost would kill me.
Someday ago I just found one original cherry mx keyboard on ebay for 20 bucks then I saw the shipping - almost 100 bucks, damm!!!
-
You should move to Amurrica so you can get free shipping.
-
...but if you really think about it, you will eventually conclude that it's not worth free shipping.
-
Holy ****, the Model F sounds ****ing awesome....almost makes me wanna discard my Model M.
-
When you get a Model F, you instantly understand that the Model M was designed as a drastic cost-cutting measure.
That is, in ~ 1985 dollars, they could sell a Model F for about $350 and make a moderate profit, or sell a Model M at $250 and make a much better profit.
-
Things that I've paid for that have not shipped yet: $1,346.13

You are an addict.
Remember the old WC Fields line, "Yes, I have a drinking problem - I have 2 hands but only one mouth."
-
The Model F is a beast. I would trade all my keyboards for it. I think my ideal collection would be 1 Model F, and 1 Topre. I don't think I ever would go back to Cherry if I had those two.
-
Oh, and I don't how know anyone could justify paying $300 for a keycap when you could get a Topre and then some. Maybe I'm a not an addict yet.
-
I've got 40 keyboards. None are rubber dome or USB.
I'm thinking of buying another keyboard. Yes, I am a keyboard addict.
-
$300 for just one keycap??? OMFG
can't believe that anyone would pay for something like that, sry ...

Some people buy 8 balls of crack.
Others choose to buy collectible key caps :) Both can become dangerous addictions XD

Nearly no dreams for me, unless they're some sort of horror scenes. Last time I had a dream, it was just me swimming under a boat surrounded by few dozens of huge, bloodthirsty sharks. I wish it was about keyboards instead. Oh well, getting clubbed with a Model F doesn't sound right either.

Snorting keycaps off an iPad mini? How extravagant.

That picture is incredible, basically sums up the logical end to this website.

It's a Nexus 7 BTW. The hardcore white is just so.... cocaine colored! Lol. Couldn't resist. Plus my sig makes me look like a fiend already

Geee, there are 6 days so so that I registered myself in this forum.
Still reading and seeing the pictures (more seeing the pictures)
Just started to dream (for real) with keyboards ...
-
In less than 4 months I have gotten myself 4 keyboards :P... My family think something is wrong with me after seeing my room full of keyboards now :P
Everytime I see an awesome keyboard pics here , I start fantasizing owning them D:.. Sigh I spend too much time daydreaming of keyboards ...

As long as there is someone worse or more weird, I'm not an addict...
