When you start buying vintage keyboards that you can't interface with a modern PC, then you have hit rock bottom.

Welcome to geekhack
-
grasshopper :p

It wasn't long ago that i was making fun of people in the 'how much have you spent on keyboards' thread. Now i'm broke. Thanks Geekhack.
-
You just need to find a stash of vintage Tesla PMD-85 keyboards, and convince the fan community that these are the next hot platform for modding. Make your money back in a month. :p
(I know I'd buy one...)

:eek:

Geekhack aka Wallethack -now you know why.

I hesitated to do this, since I wasn't sure I wanted to know the answer... but here's my keyboard spending over the last 30 days:
-- $262 on an ErgoDox kit from MassDrop (still pending; will probably have to pay taxes on import)
-- $319 on a Topre Realforce (got dinged for taxes on the import).
-- $137 on a WASD bare-bones, blue keys
-- $103 on a Thick PBT dye-sub set from Feng
-- $145 on Calm Depths GB
-- $32 on DSA RGBY set GB
-- $170 on Retro DSA set (from classifieds)
-- $79 on an MKC zinc set from Feng
-- There's also a few other GBs I've committed to, but haven't been invoiced/paid yet.
And since my ultimate goal is to build my own keyboard, I've been acquiring the necessary bits:
-- $94 on electronics goods at Adafruit (teensy's, prototyping stuff)
-- $250 on electronics goods at B&E (soldering station, prototyping stuff)
-- $461 on electronics goods at Mouser (panavise, blue switches, clear switches, resisters, diodes, etc.)
-- $16 on a paper punch (for prototyping)
Grand total in 30 days: $2069, plus some unpaid committments.
****.

Holysheet, you are blaming the keyboards again.

that sounds like me.
1/4 of my keyboards work perfectly. 3/4 require work or are not working.

Heh... nope. Just haven't received the credit-card bill yet! :)

This is bad. I need to stop hanging out in GH!
I was happily using my 20-year old Acer alps keyboard when my friend had an extra new BWU and wanted to sell me for $90 which I happily took. From then on, my keyboard journey had seen me bought a Choc Mini, Code Keyboard, Poker 2 and now I'm venturing into Vortex PBT keycaps from feng, Round 5 SPH from 7bit and the ultimate prize, in transit somewhere, a HHKB Pro 2. I need to stop! STOP! STOP!!! Damn, I only have two hands and two computers. Why do I need so many keyboards?
-
Don't you mean "My wallet got geek-hacked"?
Eh?
EH?
-
Hmm.. Klaxon.. what is it you carr--- no! GET AWAY FROM MEEEEEEE!
-

I just tell myself they are good for smashing zombie brains if a zombie apocalypse hits. Since I have so many, all my friends and family can be safe too! I think that's as good a justification as any :D

I bet this will happen to me as well. Soon I'll buy my first mech and I think the journey starts there as I already thought about buying a 75% mech for traveling/carrying around purposes. Oh and the keycaps, do I need to start about the keycaps? I think GH is turning me into a mech keyboard zombie, always looking for a juicy new keyboard and keycaps.
-
The problem is.. All these happened within three months. So it's scary to see so many keyboards in my house!

Does it count if you got them for free?
*Glances at DEC VT52 and Apple ADB keyboards*
