Title: How do you display your keyboards?
Post by: limitz on Tue, 14 July 2015, 21:05:42: Another words, do you have a special case? A designated level on the bookshelf? I'd love to see how you display your keyboards.

Some of us own beautiful keyboards, and I've been thinking of displaying some of my more special ones more openly. If not just to make it more accessible to access in the rotation.

Post by: ADFX_Pixy on Wed, 15 July 2015, 01:16:30: I only have two so whatever isn't being used I keep on top of my PC case. I have a Fractal Design Define R5 with all the moduvent covers on the top of my case closed so it's a convenient place for my keyboard to sit on. :thumb:

Post by: chyros on Wed, 15 July 2015, 03:15:32: My landlady put up two shelves in the room where the majority are kept. A few I have in boxes. The rest are on a shelf in my book cupboard, and I have one on my desk at home and one at work.

Post by: Snowdog993 on Wed, 15 July 2015, 12:20:02: No place to display them for now. Boxed up most of them.

Exactly what I want to do.

Thanks for the ideas.

Post by: Altis on Wed, 15 July 2015, 17:34:35: I've been thinking of making a fairly tall stand to store and have quick access to 10 keyboards.

What I have in mind is basically two vertical pillars about the width of the alphanumeric part of the keyboard (around 10"). Then there are two arms extending for each keyboard (one from each pillar) that allows each keyboard to be placed at an angle like a magazine rack. The keyboards would rest on the extending arms and the back pillars.

The whole thing would only stick out about 6-8" from the wall and should allow the keyboards to be visible and easily accessible. Perhaps I'll get around to drawing a mockup.

Lover the Orbweaver Blackwidow Ultimate combo!
