I don't tell these people that I also am building another one.  And plan to build at least three more after that.

The real question is whether you have enough keyboards on your wish list.
"Because keyboards are accessories to PC makers, they focus on minimizing the manufacturing costs. But that’s incorrect. It’s in HHKB’s slogan, but when America’s cowboys were in the middle of a trip and their horse died, they would leave the horse there. But even if they were in the middle of a desert, they would take their saddle with them. The horse was a consumable good, but the saddle was an interface that their bodies had gotten used to. In the same vein, PCs are consumable goods, while keyboards are important interfaces." - Eiiti Wada

I love TKL as much as the next guy, but every collector ought to have at least one full-size.

For somewhere to put that numpad set, if nothing else :p

I've got 50+ if you count all the Hybrid Switch Commodores I found, and really need to get rid of. But counting the boards I use I'm at 5.
People in the 1980s, in general, were clearly just better than we are now in every measurable way.

The dumber the reason the more it must be done
