Started creeping in July, things have escalated quickly.  Built three from kits so far, more on the way.  Hoping to get in on some of the more unique keyboard group buys and learn some new stuff.

Built so far:

• Tada68, Z2g, DSA Dolch, Zealencio - https://imgur.com/a/Kly9q (https://imgur.com/a/Kly9q)
• Varmilo 68M, GMK Plum, Cherry linear Black - https://imgur.com/a/ClAU3 (https://imgur.com/a/ClAU3)
• GH60, Cherry MX Linear Grey, SA Ice Caps - https://imgur.com/a/aACd1 (https://imgur.com/a/aACd1)

Nice boards!  Very different switches and keycap profiles.  Are you zeroing in on what you like now?

I really enjoy the zeal 62g, but it's a bit light.  Have some 67g on preorder, which might do the trick.

I really like the 67g zealios.  I'm also curious to try the following:  Kailh Heavy BOX Burnt Orange (though they're currently out of stock on NovelKeys), Zandas (Zealio stems in Panda housings), though I don't want to spend the money and time, MOD-H, and Halo Clear and Halo True (or whatever they'll end up calling the replacements after the dust settles with the I:C/MD drama).  I guess if you like tactile some of those might also interest you.

The Zealio 78g are also nice.  I was afraid they'd be super heavy, but the difference is not all that dramatic.  I do slightly prefer the 67 though.
