Seems like this is a much needed thread. 8)
Do you hate yourself after buying just one more keyboard? Does your significant other question your sanity because you've got more keyboards than pants?
Are you struggling with thoughts of purchasing 2 of the same keyboard just to have a spare? Do you lay awake at night wondering what you'll do if your keyboard stops working tomorrow?
Or maybe you've secretly been cheating on your daily driver with a scissor switch or chiclet board?
Don't hate, relate. Let's all enjoy our feeling and have no regrets. Don't carry your keyboard burdens alone. :thumb:
I still have more pants than keyboards so I guess I haven't hit rock bottom..........................................yet.Is this a ....thing?

Buying duplicate boards just seems weird to me. Sure I have two Poker II's but they have different switches.
I keep getting sniped on eBay for the awesome boards I want. :'(
Did anyone tear up while watching the Ducky "Making of Year of the Horse" video?

What can I say, I go crazy over a nice pair of Khakis.I still have more pants than keyboards so I guess I haven't hit rock bottom..........................................yet.
Damn dude, you need pants therapy. :)) That's a lot of pants.
I don't think I needed keyboard therapy until I set up all my keyboards on the tables here for my meetup last month. It was the first time I had seen them all laid out at the same time. :eek: But whatever, it's okay.
I want to try Topre but I can't justify 200€ for a spring on top of rubberdome .

This is lots cheaper than buying IPSC raceguns/ammo components or parts for a time attack car... So no regrets yet for keyboards.
Are short-pants included in the pants count? I hope so. Compared to keyboards, shorts are the 60% version of pants.

Plenty of people spend that much or more on one keyboard. :eek:
Hi, my name is Andrew and I have a keyboard problem. I've liked and used mechanical keyboards regularly for maybe 3.5 years now. I've had several boards for that time but have recently been on a rampage. My total mechanical count is 10. I'll probably have more soon.
My current list.
IBM M terminal
IBM M 2
IBM 4704 107 key
2x NMB w/black space invaders
Chicony 5981 w/SMK alps mount
Black DellAT101W with black alps
Zenith Data Systems with yellow alps
1 unbranded bad keyboard with what I'm guessing is alps clones'
1 keyboard (brand) with white Fubata switches
Some I got for free or under $10.00 but in total on keyboards so far I've probably spent $250.00, most of it in the past 2 months. In the next two, depending on christmas I will probably spend $100 more. I'm being consumed slowly by vintage keyboards especially IBM. I thought I'd get a few and be satisfied but its just adding fuel to the fire. They are like pokemon, gotta catch 'em all!

I felt kind of sad when I realized there's no such thing as an endgame keyboard.
I still can't explain to my friends why I spend so much money on keyboards, and to be honest, I'm not sure I really know either. :confused:

Don't tell me that lol.
Sometimes I buy my girlfriend gifts and say it's money from selling some keycaps, or a keyboard, or from building a keyboard or modding a keyboard.
It's never from that - predominantly, I don't sell anything, period.

Indeed. I will point out though that like $230 of this is on one keyboard :D. And while $250 isn't a ton of money, its a fair amount for me and I always feel guilty about it but don't really regret it (yet)
The LZ 1800 I just recently bought is by far the most expensive I've ever gotten at $260 (maybe more) but man does that thing look awesomeI've probably spent $250.00

I will say just my 4704 107 was significantly more than $250, and totally worth it.

Let's hope she doesn't read GH :eek:
bringing this back, need to vent about keyboards, maybe someone will listen
The ergodox was my daily driver for almost 2 years but i may be shelving it for good,
I have been traveling some with my new job where i have to whip out my laptop and do demos and jot down notes (which requires the use of the keyboard) or use my laptop at the airport and plane. Laptop keyboard obviously sucks, but the switching between the ergodox split matrix layout at home and the staggered keyboard on my laptop is confusing me, i keep making typing mistakes.
And i am starting to wonder if ergodox was really helping me in the long run :O the ergodox kind of took one problem and replaced it with another, although i admit it really helped with left wrist pain, i think if i used a wrist brace on my left hand it may solve that problem with a normal keyboard, it has to do with how i approach my hand on the left side of my keyboard and how i rest my palms when i type...bad i know
So for the past 2 months I've been cycling through multiple keyboards, mostly buckling spring and cherry, but the truth is i really like them all (except unlubed red). And i honestly enjoy cycling through keyboards.
I was ready to give up the keyboard hobby completely and geekhack (I wouldn't be missed :() but i realize my keyboard addiction is worse than i thought, i ended up joining the red scarf III...why the hell did i do that..I still have other keyboard projects to work on. And if another ergo custom board comes out i doubt i can resist it.
somebody slap sense into me
/therapy rant, first world problems
I would miss you, too, Glod.The keyboard looks cool but it looks pretty silly pulling out any keyboard in a board room, I'm a sales engineer so I have to leave a good impression. Maybe if it was wireless....I dunno, could be worth owning. Then there is the the key caps....Damn this hobby.
Hey Glod, have you thought about an Atreus? They are supposed to be good travel keyboards. ;)
I've probably spent $250.00
Damn. That's more than an order of magnitude less than me. :'( :confused:
bought an SSK...
most i've ever spent on a keyboard...
was a complete impulse buy...
