Do you have anything resembling a "daily driver" or even a small handful of them, or are you constantly rotating?

Neither high-quality Alps blues switches nor pristine Omnikey 101s are impossibly rare. It took me a few years but I eventually got both of those and with my soldering iron I created a near-perfect Franken-board.

I know, but people price them like they are. It isn't easy being too poor for one...

No, I have to rotate constantly; I have to work quite far ahead sometimes. Although I've been using a ZKB-2R at work for over two years now.
