Starting off big eh? :)

I'm currently using a Ducky Shine 3 MX black at work (alternating with e QFS MX green), a QFR MX black on my Mac at home, a KeyCool 87 MX red temporarily on a PC I am setting up for my other half, and a Ducky Shine 1 MX red on my games PC.

I have a Model M and a HHKB on standby to swap out on the Mac.

Current favorite switch and board...22Mini-EX with vintage blacks all done up. So linear. So smooth. Much win.

I'm brand new to mechanical keyboards, so I only have one: the KBParadise V60 with Cherry MX Browns. I love the size and feel of it, though. If you've never typed on a 60% board before, or even just TKL, maybe give it a try =p

Yeah, I don't mind the size of my F122. I'll probably eventually try out a 60% keyboard to see what it's like. Or better yet, I'd love to pick up or trade for a 62-key kishsaver.

It seems like you prefer linear switches. I tried out MX Black switches once before and remember them feeling nice to type on.

Being sold by one of our members here, except he doesn't really want to sell it, hence the rather steep asking price.

I like linear and non-linear. Including buckling spring. I just happen to be using MX blacks at the moment, in this period of keyboard rotation. Specifically I am waiting for a new keycap set to go on my QFS with MX greens, then it will be greens all day :D

Yeah, I plan on eventually getting a 60% keyboard. I know I can do without the numeric keypad but I'm not sure if I would be wiling to give up the dedicated arrow keys.

There are 60% boards with dedicated arrow keys =p
