Title: What keyboard(s) do you save if you have to evacuate?
Post by: CPTBadAss on Thu, 15 May 2014, 10:30:47
I had a serious conversation with Badwrench about the wildfires near him and jokingly told him to only grab his favorite keyboard if he had to evacuate. (Badwrench is ok, and I hope all you GHers there are too.)

Anyways, let's say you had to leave your home and you only had time to grab one or two keyboards from your collection. Which ones would you grab? Would you grab anything else?

I honestly don't know what I'd take. Maybe the case that holds my KMAC and Epsilon since its convenient and relatively small?

I know people might save their best and most beautiful, but I'll take my transplanted Poker II housed in the Hammer Ti case.  If there was a door that needed knocked down I'd be set.

I think I'd have time to grab them all. But if I only could take two, they'd have to be my Model M and my YOTD.

Explanation: I love Model Ms, and my YOTD is my most expensive board. And it would have either my CC or my BroBot on it, meaning I'd still have at least one artisan cap.

That's a damn good idea. I could take the SSK or 6019284 and it'd be a digging tool or door knocking tool...They have other uses besides typing on! :P

But I could sell my clacks on the street to feed family & friends for several months!

As much as I love my race 2, I'd have to save my Realforce because it has my brobots and Vader on it.

Melted keyboards poured on your head; a crown for a king.

IBM F-122 ANSI-modded with Teensy
Northgate Omnikey 101 with blue Alps

both have metal pans for the back, so, useful tools and weapons, too!

I'd take my laptop since it's got an entire computer built into the keyboard.

Laptop and the 3 beamspring boards. The 3 beamspring boards alone are worth more than the rest of my keyboards combined (that are here) so why grab with a $30 Model M?

The thing that is nice about G80... is they are quite light so I can easily take the whole collection! Plus, asides from my GH60 they are all in a neat stack in their boxes anyway. It would take me more time to pick two than pick up them all.

I can imagine compgeke now. There's a fire and compgeke is trying to lug 100 lbs of keyboards out of his burning home.  :))

Hammer case is built like a tank, it'll still be there after the fire :) Headphones first, otherwise I'm taking my Kinesis, wrists can't live without it

Well, if I can only take one keyboard, I would of course grab my RealForce 45g which is where I store all of my Topre Clacks.

However, if I can take two, I would also grab my Leo FC200r, since that has my MX Clacks.

I don't have to worry about saving my HHKB Pro 2 Type-S, since I trained my dog to rescue that keyboard in any emergency.  She knows to carry it gently in her mouth, and to take it outside at least 40 feet from the building and then put it gently on the ground and wait for further instructions from the emergency responders.

Well...I mean now it's going to go into that carrying case so probably? But don't think I'm saving it just because it's *your* Wang...or the fact it has Blue Alps in it now :P

Screw the keyboards. Let them all burn. I'm grabbing my AR-15, 12 gauge Remington, pistols, and all the ammo I can carry. Shoulder my bug out bag on the way out the door.

So....you're telling me that instead of playing with your guns, we played keyboards and vintage video game consoles?? Can I come visit again?!

Also would probably go out of my way to save my Starfox Super Weekend cart
