TL:DR; boards and caps come and go, but community and generosity leave a lifetime impression :)

This collection is insane! I love your collection bro :thumb:

Hope your next year is just as great!
I love these collection threads.
Hard to imagine you've acquired all that in a year. And as it's been stated, I love the variety of boards you've got. I'm kind of trying to to something similar right now and get a korean custom, topre board, 60%, buckling spring, etc.
How has your attitude towards the hobby changed over the span of the year?
I like this guy! you need to appreciate board not collecting them. damn collectors that have so many identical board that instead of being used is just waiting in the closet roomI love these collection threads.

Yea, my wallet took a beating (especially between August and October 2015) but it's been worth it :)
My attitude has definitely changed...I don't really want to acquire things for the sake of acquiring anymore, I am trying to appreciate boards and keycaps on a more deeper level - to think about the hard work that went into it (artisans are a great example). That, and interacting with people here has made me realize geekhack is an odd corner of the internet, people are so willing to help one another, we laugh, get angry, just like a community IRL; the vibes here are unlike other forums I've been involved with where everything just felt kind of disconnected - geekhack can be homey if you want to help make it that way.
That said, if I got my hands on a Duck Viper, Cherry G80-5000, and a OTD 356.2 I wouldn't be upset in the slightest ;) (that's the list of dream boards I have to acquire beyond 2017...)
That OTD is amazing, definitely my favourite here.
This is quite some collection you've got there, jerue. One year is not a lot of time for acquiring such gems. Well done! :)

jerue I really like that 1800 and your SSK. I really like your focused and small collection. :)
Why? what makes this board so special? rarity? and bro can you help me with digilog screw? check my thread I need some help :'(
Thanks, yea if I had the 356.2 I'd probably be done with all other boards - the 456 would have to go for sure.
I have thought about looking for different sorts of Cherry boards, but really I only like the 1800 and 5000 the most.
I used to keep a "gore pit" of keyboards, but not any more, even rotating a couple of boards at home is plenty for me :thumb:
I've also been here for year (1 year + 1 day, to be exact)
I'm pretty contempt with the boards and artisans I have right now, but they have nothing on the digilog and the OTD! really sweet boards dude :thumb:

Thanks CPT! The 1800 is amazing...it took a lot time and effort to get it up and running (a bad exp. with taobao, and another member hooking me up with their 1800), but it'll be my home-board for quite a while. It's my one keyboard purchase for 2016, and I'm not regretting it.
The SSK is also really awesome, completely factory stock and the caps are so amazing with the bold font.
Yea, sometimes less is more, I think I'm learning that with keyboards :)

Yea I think I remember seeing we registered at about the same time :)
But, you have the red printed Realforce set T___T that will evade me forever OnO
You have some nice boards as well! I like the character of the plastic case on the Realforce, and the HHKB...that board is just nice overall. :thumb:
0/10 thread. No HHKB.

not even a 1 for having some topre...0/10 chill
Nice collection Jerue, gimme 456gt plz.This is request thread, yes?
Hope your next year is just as great!
Thanks! I kind of want to ease off the accelerator with collecting in 2016...the only thing I really hope to collect this year are more of Binge's Skullthulhus, but as far as keyboards, I am really content with my collection - I will probably send Steezus the Varmilo to be tuned up :)
I have that same SSK - the displaywrite one. It is awesome. I haven't seen too many of them around. It gets the second most use out of all my keyboards - top spot being the HHKB.
Nice collection man. Need more hhkb tho.
some cash was dropped this last year. hell yes :thumb:
Heh, I haven't even been in this community for a year. I have spent more than 2k on boards and related stuff though, and I don't even have that many customs!
Though the end of 2015 for me in this hobby was beyond stellar with the accolades I've had for my work. Definitely helped me feel like I wasn't just pissing money away on something pointless.

Oh, and here I thought this thread was about our collections.
I've scrolled up since this presumption.
Nice stuff, man!
Your accolades have been well earned! Seriously, I think you have been a huge help in hyping up ALPS...your Eagle has made me want green alps...if that isn't saying something I don't know what is. It's definitely KOTY material :thumb: but it's kind of like I said, we as a community support each other, so nothing should ever feel in vain :)
As an aside... Man, I might not be a BS guy, but I'd looove to stumble upon an Industrial factory modded SSK at an auto shop one day. Just, I'd LOVE to find ANY awesome old board and have it turn out to be a gem. All of my acquisitions have been deliberate buys.
Scavanger hunting is way more fun!
Really great collection! Loved reading everything!
A year in retrospect is a serious journey! Good job having things to catalog and a story behind each acquisition. Large parts of the year feel really hazy for me so mucho respect on keeping it all so organized :)
You could get a printed red realforce caps from widebasket over ebay. But the price thoI've also been here for year (1 year + 1 day, to be exact)
