Sell them. Let's be honest you don't *need* 6 keyboards. Keep just 2 or 3. You'll get some extra cash and have less clutter
I bought a couple floating wall shelves to display my keyboards when they're not in use:MoreShow Image(http://i.imgur.com/pTXsIPZ.jpg)
Of course, not all my keyboards fit there, so the rest go in the closet :p
I desolder them and sell the parts. Then I dump the casings and PCBs. Just threw away 6 casings and 8 PCBs this month and will throw away a few more before the end of the year.:eek:

So yeah maybe just send those to me?
I sold them if I can. Recently I sold the ThinkPad USB keyboard and with the extra cash, I bought a 60%. I guess it's ok to have one of each config - 40%, 60%, TKL, HHKB. I kept them in closet. Ha ha.
Oh.. That's right. I do have only one full size and I'm keeping that because it is a Matias Alps switch. I don't think I want a Cherry full size.I sold them if I can.

I notice that you didn't mention the larger layouts. Guess you won't be keeping the larger ones in your closet?

I have more than I need, and was wondering what you guys do with your keyboards? do you display them? toss them in a closet? or just sell off the ones you don't use anymore?

I wish I could do what I did with my fountain pen collection. When that started getting out of hand I just bought one of these things:I didn't know people were collecting pens. Never thought of it.
http://www.pencase.co.uk/
and that solved the problem completely. They're pens. Store them right and the don't take up much room at all. Not so easy with keyboards, though come to think of it it's actually been cheaper to collect vintage keyboards than vintage pens. You can get a vintage keyboard for ~$30 + ~$40 shipping + 15% because OPEC. A vintage pen will almost invariably run you at least $100 + ~$30 shipping + 15% because OPEC.
Why can't I ever stay on topic.

I'm not a pen collector guy, but there is a pen I want, that was made back in the day that runs about 1-150 on ebay.
I just love well designed items. (rotring 600 if it matters )

Many more than collect keyboards. The difference between a good fountain pen and a ****ty ballpoint is rather analogous to the difference between a good mechanical keyboard and a ****ty rubber dome. And there are so many pens...

That would be a pencil.
I sell my extras and try to not keep more than 2 at a time. :'(
One day when I have a larger disposable income, maybe I'll increase my limit to 3 or 4 boards.
A few months ago I thought I would never have extra boards. Curse this forum! @_@
That's incredible :OA few months ago I thought I would never have extra boards. Curse this forum! @_@
About 18 months ago I bought my third. Now I have 9.
Thankfully keyboards are relatively cheap and take almost no extra time at all compared to other "adult" hobbies. My keyboard journey is almost done. hopefully I can sell the boards I don't use. Just yesterday I bought 2 sets on keycaps on massdrop because they were so cheap and I could use them.
