Title: What Keyboard are you Buying Next?
Post by: Novus on Thu, 16 April 2015, 04:18:03
I'm always curious when there's an influx of new boards, customs and various keyboard group buys running.

What keyboard are you planning to assemble or buy next?

I want an F at some point.
Next keyboard buy is either the RS84, I need a 75% ISO.
Then I'll want a HHKB cherry keyboard. Either a GON but I'll wait for Duck Viper V2, hopefully he will do an ISO Viper V2.
And Novatouch 55g if it were to happen one day.

No new keyboards for me, as I have enough now.  There's just one more I'd like, the fabled Matias/Alps switched keyboard in TKL format in a metal case, but I suspect I'll be waiting a while for that one.

I'm getting more than enough keyboards for free. The only ones I'd be willing to fork out for now is a Focus FK-5001 or 9000, as they're fairly unique and very cool.

Put in my order for the Pok3r yesterday. :) White with clears. Nothing too expensive, but I've been waiting to invest a 60% for a little while now.

There is a pretty good chance the next keyboard I buy would be a Model M.

I'll probably build an ergodox or atreus. Distant future though...I'm still enamored by my Realforce ;D

IBM M silver label (unless I find a "can't pass up" deal) on a vintage or otherwise interesting or rare keyboard.

Next: GON NERD TKL Acrylic, exact same build that b7ad posted a while back on his blog.

FAAARRRR distant future when I've sold everything else: GON NS Fullsize, berserk themed board made to look like the dragonslayer

Something something 60% alps or ergonomic 60% (not an Ergo Dox).

I'm planning to build a Planck with two (2!) trackpoint nubs (one between f-g-v, and one between h-j-n) and call it the PointPlanck.

TX87, hoping it doesn't run me more then $320. But it is a Kuston.

Post by: pr0ximity on Thu, 16 April 2015, 17:34:10
Think I actually hit my personal keyboard conclusion, the only thing I can think of ever wanting is a nice beamspring, but I'd never use it.
Title: Re: What Keyboard are you Buying Next?

Waiting to see what kind of 10keyless comes through group buys.
Title: Re: What Keyboard are you Buying Next?
Post by: orihalcon on Thu, 16 April 2015, 17:58:34
Hopefully a beamspring with a different layout than displaywriter, 3101, or 5251. Doesn't seem to be a whole lot of beamsprings out there right now though.  Budget probably $200-$400 depending on the model and condition.

HHKB! Trying to snipe a decent deal.
Title: Re: What Keyboard are you Buying Next?
Post by: mason on Thu, 16 April 2015, 21:57:38
HHKB whenever I feel like it's time
Title: Re: What Keyboard are you Buying Next?
Post by: Dee1 on Fri, 17 April 2015, 08:31:13
A Novatouch. :) After that, maybe a GON MX-Mini, though that will done be after I get some other boards I'm waiting for from group buys.
Title: Re: What Keyboard are you Buying Next?
Post by: Cafeine on Fri, 17 April 2015, 09:00:00
Well, I'm in Japan next month soooo, I guess I'm in trouble. I'll have to get that HHKB Type-S in blanks + keycaps (black blanks to have that nice look + RB enter / ESC). I'm ordering that in advance and that will wait for me @ my friend house in Tokyo. With a RF Keypad. Then we'll see. A Minila maybe... ? :P

I'm also tempted by the Pok3r on Massdrop, but still can't choose the switchs... :x

Mmmm. I'm very tempted to get a WASD CODE with greens.. probably next month,  already throw way too much money on this vice and we are not even at mid year  :eek:

I paid my Orion V2 invoice last week.

Just need stabs and switches.

I'd like a RealForce 55g :-[
Maybe a Pok3r
Title: Re: What Keyboard are you Buying Next?
Post by: saturnotaku on Fri, 17 April 2015, 13:12:21
I don't know. This B.87 with 62g springs, and lubed black switches is pretty sweet. Not nearly as heavy as I was expecting, and I'm having fun playing around with the layout and LED color.

I'm leaning toward anther HHKB, but probably a stock one and dental-banding it.
Title: Re: What Keyboard are you Buying Next?
Post by: Wobbly Bot on Fri, 17 April 2015, 13:15:14
Thinking about grabbing a Novatouch or Realforce sometime soon. Fell in love with Topre and I can't get enough!

need to finish building my viper or one of my infinity kits

which i need someone to lube & spring swap some switches for me

Well, once the Massdrop ends, a Pok3r. I'm in the second drop, though, so it won't get to me until August, likely.

In the meantime, though, I'm strongly considering a Novatouch. I want to feel the Topre love, but I'm not ready to go full on to an HHKB just yet. I'm also thinking about building a Planck.

I'm also closely following the Hubble Mira IC. I want a custom board at some point, and that's the one that's caught my eye right now.

Everything's just so expensive with the cruddy exchange on the Canadian dollar right now.

Post by: Lurch on Fri, 17 April 2015, 13:21:54
oh and my F-122 restoration. need to finish that as well.

no more buying keyboards until those are done

unless a great deal on a 660c pops up :-X

this ALMOST makes me feel better about how much I have spent in the 4 months I've been in this hobby. But I agree with your philosophy wholeheartedly. Get the base keyboards, don't buy anymore until you get them to where you like them.

Next keyboard, ideally the Mira or a Leeku PCB, but I also wouldn't mind a black HHKB with blank white keycaps.

I'd like a Kustom of some kind, but I can't afford it without selling off most of my collection, which I don't want to do

You could probably get enough to get a GON kit by selling three of your boards, but I guess that qualifies as "most"?  :p

Post by: Tiramisuu on Fri, 17 April 2015, 20:23:29
4 on the list but don't know when I'll pull the trigger.

TextBlade - This is the sex bomb.   If it ever gets to market I will be all over it.
Stenosaurus - because typing 200+ words per minute is achievable.
JD40 - The Planck or the atreus are tempting but I actually I'm not sure that I'd actually prefer the difference in layout.
Something fully programmable that I can swap my current into my current poker 2 aluminum case ( Colemak and Bluetooth)

Probably a Leopold FC750R with blues, or some sort of buckling spring board (Model M [SSK?] or Unicomp).

Is that true? Must be a board made of diamonds, my wife forced me to return a shine yyy once. She tried to smash it Every oppurtunity she got so i surrendered :) but no divorce blackmail though

I'm too predictable.
